excessive
psyki 1.
it was the first day
of my new job
and also my last

2.
sometimes i wonder
if everything i see
and hear, and touch
is fake

3.
walking across the desert
i grew extremely weak
and collapsed

4.
i try not to take things too seriously
like the way you look into my eyes

5.
i saw an old, wise man
sitting in the corner
of a large, empty room
when i asked him for advice
he gave me his sunglasses

6.
what could possibly happen
to make me feel better?
if nothing else occurs
that would be fine

7.
i heard a voice
coming from behind me
it whispered, "turn around"
i cautiously obeyed

8.
if i had a spaceship
i would fly to mars
and never return

9.
it tickled me
i don't know what it was
but it tickled me

10.
i climbed to the top of a tree
but it was actually a cactus

but i looked around
and everyone was still standing

13.
if fear is a frog
then i have many frogs

14.
it is difficult to control people
especially when the people
do not wish to be controlled

15.
i looked up into the sky
and thought about heaven
a cloud suddenly blocked my view

16.
i cannot feel my fingers
the ground seems so far away
ice is usually cold
the ground is slowly fading

17.
i heard a man speak
he mumbled incoherent nonsense
then they dragged him away

18.
i wonder what it would be like
to be an angel
with bright white wings

19.
this chair
is not
very comfortable

20.
i saw a stranger
running fast
chasing after the horizon
i stopped him
and tried to tell him
"don't you see?
you will never be able to--"
"You lie!" he shouted.
and ran on.

21.
the light bounces off the objects
and strikes me in the eyes
luckily, i am not injured

22.
in the jungle
i once saw
strange things
on sticks

23.
after forty-five years
i finally was released
i ran through the doors
and it was beautiful outside

24.
somewhere on the ocean floor
there is a metal box
with all your jewelry inside
this i am certain of

25.
my mother told me many times
to never look into the sun
she didn't say anything
about the moon

26.
a kind fellow asked me
if i could borrow his pocketknife
and repeatedly stab him with it

27.
when darkness fell
i observed it fall
and i hoped it would leave
because the sun was unhappy
eventually it left
after i'd wept for hours

28.
the floor was hollow
i could not escape

29.
it is rather warm in here
i may take off my shirt
before i get too hot

30.
the man was crazy
he ran in circles
to amuse himself
and bounced heavy objects
off of his head

31.
i searched all day for a flower
but could not find one without thorns

32.
for a minute i wondered
if anything could be real
or if it's all just imagined
i don't think i'll ever know
if i wasted that minute

33.
how many pyramids
do you suppose i can build
with all of these meatballs?

34.
blissful dizziness surrounds me
i slip on the icy railroad tracks
and discover that my spine is broken

35.
a long time ago
in a land far away
there was a man
who had nothing to wear

36.
there is no fortress
that pain can not conquer

37.
roses are red
but the tears that i shed
are a pale, pale shade
of colorless

38.
a magician once told me, "love sucks."
i once told a magician, "you've got to be kidding."

39.
one day i was walking in the woods
i came to a hermit's shack
that was in the woods
i knocked on the front door
of the hermit shack
in the woods
the hermit opened the door
and said, "go away!"
i replied, "why, are these your woods?"

40.
if it is alright with you
i think i'll just stay here
until my memory returns

41.
i seem to be lacking
many important things
including energy
my battery died long ago

42.
i built a large contraption
to catch a tornado inside
my brilliant invention failed
miserably

43.
the glimmering lake reminds me
of how full my life is
with nearly a bucketful
of pure happiness

44.
it was a dim summer morning
the sun was halfway risen
i was in the forest
i don't know why i was in the forest
anyway, i saw an ogre
he was a big massive ogre
i harassed him and was killed

45.
i guess i'll never know
what might have happened
if i hadn't been distracted

46.
not wanting to cry
i held back millions of tears
and flooded my emotions

47.
the pile of shattered dreams
was very, very large

48.
i met a strange man
he told me to leave him alone
because he wasn't real

49.
being lost in a maze
isn't much fun
somehow, i always find my way out
like a spider
with binoculars

50.
if i could play with chipmunks all day
i would play with chipmunks all day
and all night too, perhaps

51.
did you think you could hurt me?
apparently, i am invincible
oh, wow, i guess not

52.
i tried to prove my worth
by showing the banker my riches
"is that all you have?" he asked
i hurriedly retrieved more money
and proudly set it upon the table
"is that all you have?" he asked again
i found another dollar in my pocket
and added it to the collection
"is that all you have?"
"yes," i replied
he gathered all my money
and placed it in a sack
then asked, "have you nothing more?"

53.
i no longer deem tree branches
suitable for human consumption

54.
i think
that this disease
is highly contagious

55.
she glanced at me
i dropped my pencil
the clock on the wall
stopped ticking
and so did my heart

56.
so much lumber
and so few trees

57.
please quit breathing
the filthy, toxic air
you're making me sick
and i'm already sick
so please, i ask you
quit breathing

58.
words mean nothing, really
like this one: pancake
see, it means nothing

59.
the airplane was like a bugle
actually, more like a trombone
bugles are much too small

60.
my hunger has been satisfied
no more pigeons for me

61.
a loop is like a circle
without all the technicality
of a mathematical equation

62.

when it created itself
if it was intelligent enough
to create itself

63.

i am just a silly automobile
puncture my tires
and smash all my windows
i will not feel a thing

64.
i assumed i would bounce
but the safety net
was nowhere to be found

65.
in a jar full of cookies
lived a large bug
with a mouth full of cookies
and some very rotten teeth

66.

these loud words:
"eat me, hurry!"

70.

71.
i was once a bright student
with a promising future
then they sent me overseas
to fight in a silly war

72.
can love be a mirage?
i definitely think so

73.
as i began to smile
i looked up into the blue sky
and was drenched
by someone else's rainbow

74.
i was mesmerized
by her sparkling eyes
and her rosy rose

75.

and everything is nothing

i needed to put
more things
in the storage closet

so i chucked everything
out the window
and went to sleep

89.
so this
is what
life's all about
ok, right

90.
i think about neptune a lot
and wonder if there are

on my face
and how fake
it looks

then why is it so dangerous
like kissing rat poison
or like skydiving
with too many parachutes

without any leaves

he does not like to be bothered
while climbing up the ladder

the sun glistens randomly
my head feels like pudding
like banana pudding

273.
curious and innocent
i looked under the bed
i saw some things

274.
outgunned by the machines
driven into the ground
like a pitchfork
except it hurt me more
than it hurt the ground

275.
light subliminally flickers
through the sky and the trees
into my eyes and it burns

276.
if it were really so clear to see
then maybe i could see it
and maybe it could see me

277.
don't know where you are
don't know if you'll come back
don't know how i'll survive
without you

278.
bald, skinny man
sitting on a rock
looking so very depressed
worrying about the bomb

279.
the camera overhead
stares down at me
watching my thoughts

280.
my eyelids droop
and i slowly fall
into a dreamy world
full of soft music

281.
if i could swim
without using my arms
then i could play the guitar
while swimming

282.
sometimes time is timid
tim thinks time is grey

283.
will you ever turn around
and acknowledge my existence
or will you just stand there?

284.
a row of motionless people
awaiting the signal
to cease existing

285.
blue jays flutter
amidst the breeze
amidst the clouds
amidst the tree branches

286.
if the clock on the wall is correct
then i must have been sleeping
for a very, very, very long time

287.
basically i am confused
wonder what it means
want to know, want to care
want to hope

288.
grasping infinity
is difficult to do
especially when you're dying

289.
writing for hours
pointless words, pointless thoughts
flow in circles for hours

290.
i like to go
to faraway places
underneath the floor
where you can't see me

291.
here is where
i currently am
and there is where
i'll probably be

292.
again it ends the same way
only to start over
five days later
again ending the same way

293.
stretch yourself
don't let go
enjoy bypassing your limits
let it burn within you

294.
rainforests are like pigeons
neither have long tongues

295.
so sophisticated
so solitary
so so sorry

296.
wow
that thing just crawled
out of the swamp
how terrifying

297.
i walked into a wall
the wacky fish bites me
i sang a thousand songs
the leopard juice drinks me
i stained your favorite shirt

298.
what goes in
comes out distorted
a puddle of wrong

299.
not just a toy
perhaps a person too
with feelings
like an emotional zoo

300.
i gave you a dollar
you gave me a sign
i'm still trying to decipher it

301.
if there is an answer
somewhere out there
then i want to know it
better than i know myself

302.
scratching the walls of skin
my head feels so light
i think it could fall off
at any moment

303.
why must you be so secretive
don't you trust me enough?
maybe you're just shy

304.
a rose is a rose
even dried up and rotten
it's still a rose

305.
you're paranoid, sure
who isn't?

306.
i'd like a frosty night
to be alone
under the streetlights
humming mindlessly

307.
as you stepped off the escalator
i gazed into your sockets
desperately searching for your eyes

308.
the mouse pad is frictionless
and the teeth in my mouth
are motionless and chewing
on some chewed up food

309.
i discard assorted junk
with reckless abandon
into the ocean
and i begin to smile
and i quietly laugh

310.
you are too much trouble
you are such a burden
you take all my time
you buy me nice presents

311.
fading to blue skies with clouds
the camera pans upward
until the wing of the airplane cracks

312.
jumbled thoughts bounce
yes, they actually bounce
i found this out just yesterday

313.
why am i so sad?
all i want is to be happy
and i'm not happy

314.
i picked a leaf off the tree
i picked an apple off the tree
i think i'm smart enough
to tell the difference

315.
run faster
don't trip over the wires
you want to be an athlete, don't you?
you want to be fast, right?

316.
it is late and my room is really dark
i am sick and my mouth is dry
the colors in the paintings swim
i wonder if it's really so dark in here
or if it's just me

317.
like i couldn't write this without effort
like the words just popped into existence

318.
it's so futile, useless
you want to be a cute superstar
and i'm not

319.
feel the light hit your face
bask in the radiant glow
of the microwave

320.
have a fantastic life
i know that you want to

321.
the bars stools grew
to a height of eighty feet
they swayed in the wind
the gentle breeze was too much

322.
i plucked white worms
from my ears and armpits
only to discover there were more
this process continued forever

323.
ireland is so far away
i don't think
that i could swim
that far

324.
the moonlight illuminates your eyes
the flashlight shines on your neck
the icecube traces a trail down

325.
some things in life amuse me
other things bother me
like silver painted shiny red
and like the nail in my toe

326.
it is sad
when someone you love
doesn't want to spend time with you
and isn't around to chat with
about nothing
or something or anything at all

327.
purple penguins
in my shoes
an inch tall with unicorn eyes

328.
a blister, a sock
a timebomb, a shard of glass
a whistle, an eye
a tuba, a piece of scrap metal

329.
in retrospect it seems
that i was wrong to assume
that you would someday hate me

330.
can opener, cannon ball
cheese on the tip of the iceberg
cheese on the tip of my tongue

331.
playback in slow motion
dripping hot wax on the flies
the remote control dies

332.
lettuce germ makes me sick
so vomiting everywhere
and being generally very sick
i get rid of the lettuce germ

333.
astronauts in outer space
get depressed too
they go insane too
and claw at their helmets

334.
it is a sad sad day
and no one cares
it is an apathetic day
and everyone cries

335.
got a scratch on my eyeball
the blurry vision, the distorted view
i got a scratch, i got a scratch

336.
in essence
of significance
at ease

337.
coward you are
slinking away

338.
wedding day
wedding night
wedding day

339.
simple man aching
needs a touch
what should he do?

340.
will you despise me
if you know me better
you will

341.
i would surely hope not
surely i would not hope
would not surely i hope
hope surely not would i

342.
basket of lemon tree burning
in the middle of the sea
grey ash, grey ash, grey ash
breeze of shore water shells
speaking of horses and gulls

343.
pickle-flavored pneumonia
sing along to the music
of the playful rodent choir

344.
under the stars
under mars
wherever you are going tonight

345.
a special time in my life
was just ruined
now i'll never be happy

346.
if i'm crazy
(i don't think i am)
then how can i tell
if i'm crazy or not

347.
it is just a game
i've told you a thousand times
why don't you believe me

348.
radiant summer reflections
a smile, a smile, a kiss
good-bye

349.
i like lasagna, it is good
i eat it all the time
it is better than oranges

350.
if i'd wanted to be tickled
then i would've asked
for you to tickle me but i didn't

351.
the things i see on the floor
strike distant chords in my mind
memories of lost toys
flood the delicate circuitry

352.
fiery crash in an automobile
some things are meant to happen
other things just happen anyway

353.
it is 1:16 a.m.
my eyes are swollen shut
and i'm having trouble breathing

354.
i wanted to be more than a number
i was foolish then to think that way

355.
rodents thrive underground
they eat lots of worms
and they chew on the wires

356.
the puppet just sat there
not moving a muscle
not having any muscles to move

357.
this is the fun room
you will stay here
until you are a fun person
do not try to escape
it is not possible

358.
don't stare too long
don't burn your eyes out

359.
sums up thumbs up
accessibility and lakes
fed up head up
beauty and the skit

360.
increasingly flawless
i was under the impression
not anymore thank you

361.
minimalism?

362.
very strong people
scare me sometimes
i hope they behave themselves
or there could be trouble

363.
i believe in what i feel
in what i've felt before
over and over and over

364.
my choice is to choose
to let others hurt me
to let them abuse me
and tell me i'm worthless

365.
quality vanishes
greed consumes the rich
their tongues drown

366.
i was shocked to discover
that there was nothing left to discover

367.
up so high
it will never come down
i wouldn't either
if i were up that high

368.
and i was so confused
and i suffered my pain
and i suffered it well

369.
the black car drives
underneath the bridge
in the shadow of the moon
while the rain falls

370.
the candle flickers
the wax melts
the music drones
a hypnotic sensation

WoNDERGIRL your excessive excessiveness is filling me up in this strange complicated way and yet I don't think you even realize the extremity of this feeling you give me

because it's too excessive for words
