A.M.
by me(whatever)
to: David Cook- Touch 'n Go

dog-eared pages,
12:26 A.M.
a moon that is a sliver,
cat in the window.

a small murmur of rain,
Russian nesting dolls
1:02 A.M.
flying machines on the shelf.

2:15 A.M.
distant wind-chimes
unable to breathe.
a four-leaf-clover in a diary.

darkened painting
a lingering scent of plum blossoms.
I think of you
3:27 A.M.

Android

to: Human (a Android works)- nico nico chorus

I don't understand,
the library mind you have
or your ugly dress.

I don't understand,
humanity's history,
or all your oil cans.

I don't understand,
the gold and platinum cats
that dance in your eyes.

I don't understand,
why I might have to leave you,
who knows who I am.

I don't understand,
the rare, watered expressions
you don't know you have.

I don't understand,
how I can search out your heart,
you who are human.

I Don't Know how to Write a Story

I Don't Know how to Write a Story
by me(whatever)
I wrote this a few days ago, but never posted it, ...
I don't know the written date.

I don't know how to write a story.
If I start out with a line like that,
will it eventually bloom into reality?
(-Like a light blue bell flower in June.)
I don't know the setting,
where the wind blows on rain torn streets,
or where the fire burns steadily in the furnace,
and the old, gray cat curls on-top the lap
of a great oak grimoire.
I don't know the characters,
who wear suits and walk around the city
holding their little girl's pink umbrella
in their right hand, and the teenager,
who knows far too much of things to write equations
in her left hand.
I don't know the plot, either,
that fights dragons made of paper all on their own,
or sucks you into another world with no fire hydrants,
Christmas lights, Reese's pieces, or cellphone service.
I admit, I don't even know how to imagine
a story that I am not living.
I don't know how to lose myself
in the secret world that is inside
each and every human being.
I don't know how to escape
to a place
where you're not there.

So could you
remind me,
how to write a story?

Evening on Rainy Bridge

Evening on Rainy Bridge
by me(whatever)
to: miku(nekobolo)-オノマトペメガネ

walk, walk,
walking on across a rainy bridge,
I feel nothing
as the cold nature continues straight through me.

tip, tap,
a young man with an umbrella,
waiting excitedly for his yet-to-be-seen lover,
he doesn't see me as I pass through.

mew, mew,
mewing pitifully in a soggy cardboard box
black and white kitten
wet and abandoned, I have no warmth to offer.

beep, beep,
people who don't see others
rushing along in their metal containers
I can't stop them even if I jumped.

sway, sway,
rustling in the chilly breeze
boughs weighed with gray twilight blues,
a ways away where I can't touch.

whip, whip,
forgotten orange tape tied up above
fighting against itself to stay still,
like that man who was here one day, then gone.

sing, song,
mimicking birds, air, human invention,
wind chimes twinkle quietly in that house far off,
echoing in a soundless place from within me.

Chronic Absence

Chronic Absence
by me(whatever)
to: Kenshi Yonezu(Hachi)- Go Go Ghost Ship

rabbit pops out of a sack bag
"absent again today?" it asks
yet no one can see it except for me,
as it unlocks it's rib cage for the dog.

gnat squeaking from the shadows of 7 am,
"study with me?" sitting on that textbook
yet no one can see it except for me
as it smears its nervous system through the pages.

goldfish splashing in the depths of a blue messenger,
"won't you take me somewhere nice today?" it gurgles,
yet no one can see it except for me
as it drowns in the air on the floor.

mouse scribbling with a collection of #2 pencils,
"do you remember your childhood dreams?" read the message,
yet no one can see it except for me
as it tears away it's neck for the cat.

finch hopping along a silent, dusty cellphone,
"who are you, a lie or truth?" it chirps in song,
yet no one can see it except for me
as it crashes it's tiny body to the mirror.

Bacteria still amongst the flower painting,
"don't you care about me anymore?" is something it can't say,
yet no one can see it except for me
as it withers and rots without a host.

Leviathan

Leviathan
by me(whatever)
to Chloe

Winding down the rainy street,
alone and miserable and cold
the cat disappears in the blue-torn evening
where globe lanterns shimmer like fool's gold.

In a quiet town,
the rain piles up in it's own voice.
in the places the people haven't been
it echoes without a choice.

The end of the world,
From the depths of an ocean despair,
I walk over the silent roads
crying and gasping for air.

Rainy Morning

Rainy Morning (11-21-13)

A small bird
calling desperately for it's mother
ran over in the rainy morning.

If I could see a seagull,

or a sea-cat,

today would be fine,

I'm sure. 

On rainy mornings

I can't sleep,

pacing around

like a caged animal. 

My last bit of freedom,

to walk a little farther in the cold

taken away by kindness.
