The Hunger
the hunger came on fast
it gripped my core like a boa
i put my hand in my mouth
then forced it down my throat
into my stomach
where i grabbed the fucker by the neck
pulled it out
and threw it on the table
a quivering black hole it was
all the questions they never answered
all the love they never gave
all the eyes they turned away
i smashed it with my fist
a quivering black hole it was
already back in my gut

After the Chernoyl Disaster
The Chernoyl plant, not to be confused with the Chernobyl nuclear plant, manufactured male enhancement supplements. Not garden variety supplements, mind you, but the best creatine, bodybuilding supplements, and mixtures to grow the size of every man's sweet spot.
It's still a mystery what caused the Chernoyl plant to explode one hot summer night when operations had ceased for the day. The impact on the surrounding ecology was immediate, and devastating. Insects, mice, and other varmint had mutated to be the size of adult humans, with corresponding increases in their male sweet spots.
Within days of the disaster, the military created a one-mile exclusion zone around the plant. Only Dr. Klarrion and his nurse, Nancy, were allowed to enter the site. Officially, they were there to research how to mitigate the disaster. The military was also interested in combat uses of the mutant wildlife. And Dr. Klarrion had his own demented vision.
Thus it was on a dark Wednesday afternoon at the end of October, some three months after Dr. Klarrion and Nancy had set up the lab, that a major breakthrough occurred.
Nancy entered the lab with a fresh pot of coffee. Setting it on a plate above the Bunsen burner, she brushed her shrinking breasts against Dr. Klarrion's arm. She also took a moment to appreciate his increasingly large, albeit flaccid, bulge.
Of course they had worn respirators since entering the site, removing them only to eat or drink. But these off times were sufficient: Dr. Klarrion's genitals had nearly doubled in size. And Nancy had become more masculine, growing both muscle and body hair.
Nancy also found herself increasingly attracted to Dr. Klarrion. The doctor was so absorbed in his research that he was oblivious to her advances.
Nancy's eyes were still fixated on Dr. Klarrion's bulge when he suddenly stepped back from the microscope, clapped his hands, and said, "Nancy! The sperm of the praying mantis has successfully penetrated your ovum! Congratulations. You're going to be a mother."

Reflections
a ghastly affliction
this always looking back
reliving the past
second guessing what you did
thinking you could have done better
now that your vista's a calm sea
you shouldn't forget
the sea once raged with formidable waves
at a time you could hardly swim
but you pushed through to this shore
no instructor or life vest
keeping you afloat
the waves break gently
on the warm sand now
and this sea will always be there;
why not explore the land
beyond the shoreline—
you've earned it

The End of Writer’s Block
the way to beat
the uninspired trap
is to write and post
even if it's crap*
why must you chase
the curse of perfection?
when the worst case is
you'll taste of rejection
so you'll get no likes
from those who read it
well at least you're writing—
and they can all eat shit.
rather be a writer
who some other writers block
than paralyzed in tears
with that dreaded writer's block
*such as this poem
