I weave lies into my poetry sometimes,
But not in the way you'd think:
I simply change names,
And sometimes,
Places,
To protect the people who never protected me.
I create content,
For the image theatre,
That I mould using my words -
And I build and break down monoliths,
And anti-heroes,
Just to birth and kill worlds.

Re: Johnny Depp as Victor Van Dort in Corpse Bride (2005) dir. Tim Burton
Our heaven had its place,
Through the wire.
Interference in radio waves,
Are what started this fire -
And finally,
Though pathetically,
The satellites are dying;
I'm ready to stop trying,
And have you fade to black.
