Kyoka   filling out medical forms name, age, sex? no...not for a long while     getting to first base on the first date if you're gay... you grab the bat and make a home run     Free Verse   ...and the devil dances   the dark door of crystal meth a turnstile with no way back the devil's cocktail drinking his blood doomed to loose everything dear to you... no feelings but the heat of the devil's blood beating in your brain the light of white lightening in your eyes searing all consciousness staring into a blue screen seeing nothing... forever... and the devil dances     blue poison   The dark poet always standing outside the V.W. I never saw what he looked like Jimmy's friend ... on the dark side of the street all I saw was the blue poison racing through his veins coming from the holes he poked in his arm and nodding to his own dark warm thoughts I hear he needs a transplant now
