Rips and Tears Poem Written By Larry Patterson
Rips and tears.
Something is always ripping.
Tearing at us,
the tragedy of the tears ripping at our souls.
Whether it's a women or friends tearing at you.
The rent past due.
The full wine bottle emptied on the dirty rug of your motel room after a long days work.
Soaking into the filth of this world.
Tugging tearing at us.
The shitty job.
The car note not paid.
Lack of sleep.
Lack of sex.
Bad rushed sex.
The bitching of the land lady.
The bitching of your woman of the moment.
The plants dying out into a dried out crisp of nothingness.
Window slamming on my hands.
Screaming in a drunken rage for reasons unknown.
The silence of the bad joke told.
The failed pickup line told to the whore.
The eyes rolling.
The sarcasm plays aloud like terrible music, piercing tearing at my ears.
The smoke filled room with a broken light.
The buzzing of the fly.
Out of smokes.
Out of brews.
Out of my mind.
Accusations of cheating.
The love of your life turned whore cheating.
The silence of the cheating cunt.
Tearing inch by inch at you.
The static of the television without cable.
Flatten tires, broken promises.
The human race.
Humanity.
Ripping tearing at our souls.
Like the pink painted nails digging into my back during rough sex.
The rough cop, roughing up everyone.
Escaping anywhere away from here.
The thought of escape.
Thoughts of a suicidal escape for one.
Being trapped.
Everyone so fucking boring.
Plastic faced people spewing phony upbeat moods.
I'm not in the mood.
Move on, leave me alone with my writings.
Fuck you humanity.
Give me my small room.
My four walls and a roof.
Go rip and tear at someone else.
There is nothing left to tear.
What was torn is gone.
What has been ripped is burned.
So let me rest.
In my room with my writings.
A broad and some wine.
A bitch putting on lipstick on my bed.
Planning on my demise.
You are just a mirage.
I don't need you just my room.
My writings.
Jobs
friends
women
whores
wine
are all replaceable.
My writings are worth more than all.
So don't tear at me baby.
Humanity you never had anything right.
Go rip at the boring brain dead plastic people.
Leave me alone with my art.
The End
Larry Patterson
