the highlight
may well be my low point
and from this diminished,
diminutive,
disenchanted vantage
everything is up
it will most likely
be measured
by a lack
of the treasured
today:
will be taken
as it comes
(HAH!)
every second will be
a back breathed curse
ground by apathetic teeth
in an impatient mouth
today:
will be similar
(but different)
to the next
and the next
and the next
and the next
today;
these things that
i have to do
will outweigh heavily
the things that
i would like to do
there will be no balance
there will be no fair
just an onslaught
bereft of flair
today:
a flood of the mundane
a deluge of perpetual plain
an endless rain of vapid lame
a copy of a copy of a copy
can only be more of the same
today:
today :
was supposed to be colour coded
Wednesday was supposed to be green
everything fades before and after
and sometimes in between
today:
a fragrant whiff
of a quiet despair
no muss no fuss
grown man day care
today:
passed me by
the whole time
i was in it
the hours
that were in front
become a clipped
rear view minute
now i’m not
trying to be funny
when did doomy
become clever?
but imagine
for a second
that this now that you’re in
is forever

Psychedelic 😵💫 World by Rikki La Rouge
Psychedelic World is my first poetry book before Scenery of Society which would come years later. With this book I tried to get it published I sent it to all of the major publishers out there for example penguin publishing. There are two versions one is in English and the other one is written in Spanish. I did the illustrations for the work myself and it is true to the book being that it is a psychedelic drawing. I can’t explain the meaning of the drawing other than that it’s just cool and a snapshot of the machinations of my mind.

Self Help: Grifters' Gospel
On Self-Help, Snake Oil, and the Illusion of Change Psychology professionals and students can be imagined on two opposite sides of a line called self-help books: likely a larger group opposes pop-science and step-by-step manuals filled with talk of success, journaling, and not giving a f**k; others love them, but they aren’t many.

Merely a single moment in eternity … an unending (until it does) mass of vapid consciousness contemplating the uselessness of it all.
