Bus fare destinations
Falling short
All these haunts of
Clockwork Orange
Dreams
Living behind
Courteous lies
That subdue the imagination
Waking up
A whole new
Creature
No home to speak of
Wearing travelers boots
And coins on eyelids
Fighting and fucking
My way through life
With no direction
Or destination
Blood made of whiskey
Lungs made of ash
There’s plenty to go around
When you live
In a dirty ditch
Feeling like nobody
Wanting to be somebody

Whiskey & Popcorn. A Poem by James Dennis Casey 1V.
We live in a void
Crossed between hell and
The digital world
Television screen faces
Closed caption thoughts
Our rulers have antennas
In place of horns
Everything is on fire
Crashing and burning
But all we can see
Is what we’re fed
The underbelly reality
Is far worse than it seems
Things they don’t show us
Terrible and unforgiving
Driven down
Hidden behind coding
Pretty 1’s & 0’s
It’s all in the way
You look at it
I guess
Ignorance is bliss
After all
I just hope
There’s plenty of
Whiskey & popcorn
For the season finale

~SCHIZOPHRENIC TENDENCIES~A Poem by James Dennis Casey 1V.
I know my flaws
Holding on to the darkness
As I step out of the light
I did everything I ever did
I own up to it too
Never hiding behind a phrase
“The devil made me do it”
Not in my vocabulary
Good
Evil
Never satisfied
Either way
I keep them both hungry
Sometimes I recognize myself
Others I don’t
The times in between
Are madness
Schizophrenic tendencies
Of a multi-faceted gem
I fuel myself with whiskey
Fight
Drink
Fuck
Yet my heart is full of empathy
Forgive
Forget
Love
Many different faces
Many different masks
Hobo lullabies
Rich man dreams
Commando stain pants
Fresh clean shirt
I fancy myself as a bard & wordsmith, madman, artist, free thinker, cat lover, hat lover, owl enthusiast, and crystal collector. My poems have been featured in print form on two separate occasions. My poem “A Philosophical Treasure Chest” was picked for the anthology ‘Where the Mind Dwells’ after wining a submission contest, and five of my poem submissions were accepted to be in ‘Tribute-Pirates Anthology’ by Writing Knights Press. Some of my poetry has also been in the pages of various online magazine publications. Poetry Blog: http:// jdcivskeletonsfrommycloset. blogspot.com/
