    Epic, Finished.

    By: Kristoffer Paul Denoyer

    A three saint act

    the four man band

    By: A thinker not much of a drinkerhad my fill before departure

    tho last week I was called a stinker

    a down-syndrome man, I slept in the kitchen

    Had to be up early in the morn'in

    Once having,

    "no plans

    no dates

    No appointments with anybody"

    Just

    "Leisurely exploringSouls and Cities."

    Fuck it all,

    fuck being a dirty word

    but oh so clean in the running mouth game

    That's where poetry makes a play,

    "Climbed K2 and napped

    in purple haze by

    lakes edge

    intoxicating wilderness

    starring deep into the glass

    -gotta get my ass outta here-

    something about the looking glass

    pushed the limits,

    dear LORD help these

    benevolent spirits

    A wink

    A call

    We're move'in on."

    A passing glance

    no whittling

    Just preaching

    no soap box either

    just my

    ivory

    tower

    peering

    that goes on and on & ON

    into the Midwestern kinsman of the sun

    weary teary eyed travelers

    pristine obscene "tea" drinkers

    tho very willing jumping thru tea fieldsburning em' with bridges

    with many past canaries

    preying on the infinite

    praying for the infinite

    OH!

    owning the finite!

    yet...

    Never stood so tall in the white chasm nothing

    parchment void catechism

    a loley speckled twilightmy russian bride had her way with me

    finding the perfect cell,

    leaving off the vast mass in time.

    never too far from the door.

    casting into nothing,

    feeling a rhythm

    a rhyme

    this brisk chill through the spine

    please, take a drink, a big swig if you will

    hemmingway coursing thru pores

    this moment injected in vaines!

    will you understand this grand gesture

    or shall it be gone, gone with the wind?

    lingering bum sleeps

    the dishes must be done

    waiting on

    and on

    & ON

    Rolling on & on

    and ON

    Promising one thing

    & one thing alone

    I will leave you some day,

    I can't say when.

    Twas a prophecy foretold and it's said,

    one can speak in tongues

    even hold each gift divinely given.

    I wish for all my children

    a gift of the prophet

    whom never resounds as clanging gongs.

    Read it in a fortune once found in a book

    that was pieced together from cookies which came from the west... perhaps even the east,

    it's a fine line from one to the next.

    "I'm 25 and haven't a bastard child."

    Rambln' on too much

    long winded verses

    IF the true words cum

    they'll lay simple

    No cheesy - sentimentality

    sometimes I'm simple, but sentimental.

    " Live fast, DIE young

    Live slow, DIE old

    either way

    Hoping I lived."

    as for THE PROPHECY FORETOLD

    ------------------------

    I've moved on

    and free! Free as a bird free

    Free no underwears free

    flop where I like commando free!

    bottle of wine free

    fresh joint twilight night free

    wildly running morning hour riverbed dreaming freedom

    st. francis mid summers dream mellow haze preaching to birds free

    shallow as the stream maybe

    my heart beats

    this joy an ocean deep

    Took the train to the cityscape

    new hip couples, narratives included on the bumper

    draped afghan wear, so trendy so different

    makes no difference

    NPR, equality now, make love not war

    I made out just a moment ago

    "Dude, megaladon that broad!"

    physical bracelet buddhist beads, expensive watch.

    do what we want, as we will

    can't you tell?

    a young flowering couple

    handcuffed together

    that's my stop!

    regarding todaywhat I want isn't necessarily

    what I need

    what I need isn't what I'll be

    who to blame

    who to blame

    "Recklessly young - Restlessly old"

    When did the hour strike

    when did the hands fold downwhere was it time settled so

    where was I

    where was I

    this man in the mirror starring back at me

    just me, only me

    "restlessly old - recklessly young"

    sharing comforts of despised comforts

    embraced all strange and terrible uncomfortable things

    so it goes, it's the devil I suppose

    but it matters so much to me

    -pondering these man-made constellations-

    going to a party as a viewer

    watching a movie with a projector

    rarely an actor, just an instigator

    ominous prospector

    "for when I do nothing, nothing does."

    When I try to run I fall

    if I walk I go nowhere

    when I drink, I'm never drunk

    when I'm dunk, I never drank

    if I blink, I've fallen asleep

    if I've slept I had only blunk

    I'm full when I've eaten

    I haven't eaten in days

    I go to see twilight tho it's mid-morning when I do

    It's never evening anymore, night has passed memy holy script carved clean, the flask chalked full

    this typewriter says more than I, not sure I've said

    anything at all

    blacked out there...

    my lids open, I'm vision heavy

    the mind is weary from the unseen dreams

    I've seen too many nights

    darkness prevailed, I lay orphanedwashed up on the land I've blown upon

    my cohort pleads and pleads sanity

    if he's my best I'm not far

    So we sat out smoking

    freezing

    ceaselessly drinking

    couldn't bare the inside

    he couldn't bare your insides

    it's six in the morn

    still smoking

    drinking coffee

    couldn't bare yr thinking

    need an eye opener

    it's eight in the morn

    pour out another

    and this rolls on and on & O N

    ceaselessly

    on and ON

    &on...

    "Will you ever pass on?"

    PFFT! My epitaph?

    fuck that mess

    be rest assured, it's full proof

    he's a skeletal structural man

    no meat,

    Nor flesh

    bounce to the next

    couldn't careless

    wait, I could

    Go tell it on the provocative accounts of menwith sought holes between wholes

    "get rid of your bone"

    &

    Go moan alone

    on my behalf

    I've my own mess

    Not givn' in for less

    Gettn' between her lines

    isn't necessity from Birth.

    Fuck, that mess

    my epitaph?

    disturb not such bones

    -considering anything-

    -I've lost everything-

    yet, for eternity...

    gained absolutely NOTHING

    for all it's worth

    be rest assured, "I'm happy."

    In any sense of arbitrary

    can't arbitrarily use arbitrary

    such conceptions

    sprung from existence

    they had to be there

    for the sake of yr own

    In which more can linger on

    with arbitrary cognition

    Dammit! Did it again...

    fruitless nerd,

    I sold out

    drove to west texas

    passed thru Coloradah

    Made it to Denver

    traded snow for snow

    Michigan was slow

    Arkans-ass

    Tex-ass

    Nebraska-ass

    Bring on the noise of corn-hole home.

    cruisn' the back roads

    fightn' Russian probes

    briskly on the move,

    pushed onward Alaska!I hope second hand smoke doesn't kill ya

    yr droopn' old girl

    Arlo's shirtless, sal's makin' a windowed mess

    Doodln' while drivn'

    turn'n bends and curls of curves of girls

    nothin' new

    comparisons are odious.

    but what's happening now is in the clear

    truly shared.

    "Can't bear thoughts of mortality."

    "I'll be lucky to make it even 4 years more."

    "By chance or hands of yr own?"

    "Who knows, if ones foolish enough."

    "Boy is that us!"

    Keep up those tunes...

    Seems ages ago, lives ago

    measures back. We played our songs of conf-angled mess.

    Hours poured, souls turned confessions on consoled breasts.

    Holy baptizing experience

    "nothings a waste."

    "It's all pointless, a masochists game."

    "He's a nihilist."

    epitome waiting for tombstone slates.

    across the street from liquors exquisite hut, happy go lucky

    sign depot, where all sign needs are met.

    And we meet and met and yet are met once again

    with brewed coffee lit smokes

    those native american blend, a delight.

    When Alaska broadened our view, she was new

    grew complacent, what is it with us and revelations?

    Now it's all askew!

    dying tunes to others

    perhaps all we knew

    Forensic state, in lieu of past abuse.

    such malice must be subjected as prosthetic abandonment

    must be true.

    friends have died on

    they're dying all the timewhile my whores have left me

    at 7th and desolation row

    called my bluff

    reading st. john of the cross

    it wasn't enough

    does this debauchery know no bounds?

    No.

    Now, twist no facts to suit theories

    find theories to suit facts.

    A grand schemesolving the questioned fall

    life of st. christoffer reached

    minus the ferry river crossing

    wasn't tortured by demons

    curiosity took care of that one

    tying & tying

    a plight to Thee, "have mercy on me"

    thoughts stray, positive to negatively,

    like that *snap*

    my neck when the day came

    burdensome thoughts weighted heavily.

    Dear brother, comeback & maybe I'll come back too.

    Glimpses & cracks here and there,

    we can be whole too. Sure have missed you,

    dear brother.

    Don't call myself a poet,

    I don't like most poets.

    Irony, yes indeed.

    what joy in writing poetry,

    Love & hate entangled mess

    structure structure structures

    something about words in three's

    at times, they , these poems

    or prose, have no flow in thought

    much like my thoughts

    scuffled rowdy fights it seems

    "While on the third day!"

    on the 7th we rest

    please have mercy on us, oh lord.

    praying? who me?

    nah mang.

    back in the day

    inhaling caffeine & nicotine

    if any luck

    it'll bring clarity.

    still haven't seen a buck

    so upped the antestockn' up the pot

    of good kharma to counter act the other.

    being clever

    has been B A D for my health

    Simply that

    I hope to be only a G O O D man

    and nothing else

    "What's wrong with that?

    No, pompous is not a goal.

    I just wish to be good.

    there's no good nor bad...

    What about the conscience?

    Well, in the matter of the conscience

    the mass has no say

    sure quoted Gandhi.

    OH, what a deed you did

    False-self corrupts absolutely

    a true self can take a bit more energy, maybe.

    never measured such things

    they say truth can set you free.

    Let freedom ring. Unlike the ring you wear

    where you've strived for power.

    daylight never as fruitful

    you've become the anti-hero, muh boy.

    there was so much more instore.

    Unceasingly praying

    Constantly smokingonward down the road

    (PAUSE)

    In need of a drink,

    how refreshing.

    wishing to convey a story thru folk

    never worked out.

    A dylan, I am not.

    tho, this seems to be working out.I write to get it down.

    something on paper.

    no lessons, just me and my story.

    somtimes a bit of whiskey,

    but no always.

    not as much as you'd think, I write more sober anymore.

    jotting such for myself and my brother.

    (On with the SHOW.)

    Reaching an all time low about a year ago.

    those women & our lustful woes.

    twice in a row!

    what a bitch...

    didn't last long. We met again.

    what is it? A decade now?

    Brother's in arms.

    DIVINITY ALRIGHT

    As the tides change

    my constant friend always changing

    keeping a lovely never boring constant.

    Our shared choice of poisons.

    until we pull a DEAN & SPLIT

    wake up unpleasant

    *snap*

    break our backs or slip out the back.

    An obvious choice.

    "If a tree falls in the woods, does it make a sound?"

    11/14

    "OF course it does, if vibrations are simply sound waves in transfer, our brains alter."

    "You missed the entirety of the question. One hand clapping."

    "One man flapping! there's more than one answer to any given question. If I left you in

    the woods would you keep talking?"

    "This is absurd."

    Absurdity, lovely & all I wish to know

    the unknown

    the penrose

    ascend - Descend

    My illusion

    my illustration

    Sisyphean nature

    Am I a narcissistic?

    NARCOTICS!

    Won't touch on that one

    seemed the only way to go.

    dawn strikes at the bone

    to the core of the soul

    not concerned with the abyss anymore,

    in any formmm... ow.

    my liver pains me.

    what poison shared.

    blissful sleep never occurs

    now, I sleep peaceful

    fast forward in time

    alive and well, big city blues

    wind not dawn strikes deep down into the bones & bed of my soul.

    A liar. Everyone knows it

    History catches up in ways you'd never know

    they sense it, management types. Bless em'.

    Got no proof. Got no use.

    departure inevitable

    said it before

    say it again.

    It's me'rely a matter of time.

    wait, lemons. something about bad days and lemonade

    I'd prefer limeade or a cocktail.

    If being a good man doesn't work out

    I might as well become a criminal or the very least a shut in.

    Pull a Thoreau

    never speak again.Just die with regret alone

    trying & dying are synonymous for my vocabulary.

    I must have been built in a lab...

    So similar yet so different.

    seeing all these working, happy "complacent" people

    the pain kicks in. Realizing oh how I loathe only myself

    Will I ever succeed in the world today?

    Probably not.

    Lifetime isn't near long enough.

    if I'm reincarnated, I'd forget it all anyhow.Too much bad kharma if you believe in that.

    my pillars crumbled long ago, what a mess

    So depressed

    Pulse moves with breezes

    like the loosing child

    father, I've done no good

    cracking raging eternal flames

    love or not, still lost

    ought not fight it

    for nought is all returned

    my russian friend speaks,

    "Fuck eet all."

    All encompassing

    liturgical copper eyed mystic

    lysergic copper eyed misery

    optimistic copper eyed dynasty

    pessimistic copper eyed failure

    burning forever in time

    &

    future

    Must be 2 suns

    I got 2 shadows

    or

    I'm 2 people.

    that damn moonlight

    haunting midnight shadows

    engraved burning visions

    leaving deposits of copper.

    Gentlemen, I have little respect for myself

    but the most profound love in survival

    Can't sit too long with folded arms

    too much boredom. Madness prevailed often

    trouble's not insight

    can't brew-ha-ha any u p

    Invent it. create it

    nurture trouble and it'll blossom

    oh, absurdity of absurdities!

    been moaning and picking at my wounds

    such crafty clever moans

    perhaps why they'll keep dis-banning

    tired of the grey blinding veil

    no one hides as well as I

    crazier than the crazies

    drinking despite the liver

    the poison going nowhere

    excreting it where one can.

    "a man of consciousness, can he have the faintest respect for even himself?"

    echoing words

    there's me and my shadows

    the real me

    the ghostly night moonlight me

    an' the shadow cast in names sake me

    my name will be the burden to end it.

    I must be a narcissistic

    "I'm horrible at keeping friends."

    "Well," he spoke, "It's part of being crazy."

    Where shall this son of man rest his weary head?

    This sin ridden body

    as the sun rises

    my brothers

    my sisters

    shall we face in our sought directions

    rays of light beaming down on new days

    new mistakes

    new loves and correct turns

    as night falls

    twilight glistens upon weary burdened souls

    new lives

    new days shall soon arise

    shadows shall linger on

    but right here & now is real and true

    Dont worry for tomorrow

    todays worries are enough

    dont go gently into that light

    dont dim into the night.

    Let go
