    "Break my Fall"

    Thursday, September 25, 2008, 01:12 PM EST [Morrison: The Poet]

    I'll pilot this circus for the time being

    if you promise to break my fall.

    The passengers,

    they don't see the dents in the hull,

    they don't know the cumulative effects

    ten-thousand days of collision yield.

    Impervious as I am,

    it still weighs on me.

    I see how broken the others are,

    and know they're not up to the task,

    that they break so easily,

    and are too preoccupied with the painto pilot us anywhere but to the ground.

    So I step in, and do the killing for a while,

    I am your reluctant king,

    a lion among serpent dogs

    who howl-hiss their boasts

    to a confused assemblage

    and believe the flea collars about their necks

    are pilot wings or something more.

    Just break my fall,

    It's all I ask.

    I don't need you too; it won't effect me

    either way, it's just

    a token of your gratitude.

    It's just

    a way of saying "thank you

    for being our king."

    "No"

    Wednesday, August 27, 2008, 04:57 PM EST [Morrison: The Poet]

    I am master of a nothing place,and need the bland indulgence

    of an empty smile

    to set me right on the killing floor.

    I see these horrors,

    hear these cries

    from and in

    a world spiraling out

    of its self,

    and think of the things I might do.

    of the things

    I might do.

    I will look down

    and whisper.

    "no."

    "Starship Pain"

    Wednesday, August 13, 2008, 11:38 AM EST [Morrison: The Poet]

    The roar of the spectators and the spectacle sound, A thousand tiny suns anchored to steel beat down, And I, high above the champion of the disaster, captain of the impending descent, orchestrator of their frenzy.
    Some roar to rouse him,
    most roar for his blood. 
    He lies, like one sleeping
    unsuspecting,
    unforgiven.
    Nothing to break the fall but the body;
    nothing to break the body but the fall.
    And I am destruction airborne.
    Flashes burst, shutters close,
    and the caption beneath the photo reads:
    Crash landing; no survivors,
    save Starship Pain.
