Where I'm from Where I’m from you woke up to the sounds of blue jays and the six o clock news Where I’m from Daddy is watching the news to see which friend died today
Dany Jean-PierrePublished 2 years ago in PoetsAppendix B (i) Update
Belief is now hard to come by. Froze its behind off last winter. Carries chill deep in its bones. Wonders if warmth will ever again infuse and envelop.
The Dani WriterPublished 2 years ago in PoetsThe Last Supper
To me the last supper consisted of breast meat chicken nuggets, because that's the day you departed. Even though your head-ached and you were sick to your stomach I was never starving.
"Numbered One-to-Ten Lion's Den"
“Numbed One to Ten Lion’s Den” (5/26/22) Only look to the past for knowledge, “Edumacation Por-age” who-say “go to college”, nature Activists’d say look toward the foliage, followers say.. on this day we’re all 9-5 working today, “nah..” fuck that shit.. I’m an acid-naught whit, here to deliver all that funky shit, so hold tight.. don’t quit.. or irreversibly become too lit.. because I’ll be up on stage in a bit, notoriously throwing a tantrum childish fit, but if you love my vibration creations that have risen tall upon all our nations, show appreciation with a NEd Flander gander of those “Oh so-pretty perfectly palm-sitty calling me right-meow titties.. make love to all-da kitties.” 😘

“Dark Knight of the Soul” (6/12/2022) I’m so entirely confused and feeling so used, why have I tolerated twenty-nine years of being abused?
Tyson MendenhallPublished 2 years ago in Poets"Hippidy-Doodah, I'm from Utah"
“Hippidy-Doodah, I’m from Utah”(6/1/2022) Brainwashed hippie Utah’n born and raised, yeah more like “Cali” cuz completely un-phased, lyrics spit drop jaws to the floor and amaze, Peter in a Rabbit hole daze, stop and stand-tall in your own shoes.. craze, go outside to absorb the sunshine and all of its precious rays, time isn’t indeed of the essence.. so be patient and yes.. more to layaways.
Tyson MendenhallPublished 2 years ago in Poets"Darkness leads the way"
"Darkness leads the way" (December 2021) Mold a paper sphere in our mouths and spit, immaturity storm passing it’ll dry out in a bit, our targets her tit, bullseyes the clit.. emotions rainbow from direct cold-hearted hit, doing dumb things smart and inner energy gets lit, flip open a “Cosmo” and maybe see a girls tit, harassingly joke about all the reasons to take totes, or even ride out with the crew singing cards in our spokes and elope, but nope, change is near and I’m their hope, what’s comin’ next is fuckin’ dope, covid 19 with soap, old oak chairs and braided rope, confessions and lord pope, stop drop and roll, fire extinguisher a pole, lyrically I’m on a fucking role, “oops” helped ya out there.. I dug a hole, first let’s take care of that stupid mole, sorry not sorry, wasting time productively it wears and takes a toll, under the bridge-a troll, Russian roulette-a roll. Fold without a demerit, step right up.. you earned that shit, now wear it!

Tyson MendenhallPublished 2 years ago in Poets"Oh Sudden Resurrection"
“Oh Sudden Resurrection” (October 2021) As I sit here and bleed, all through the scars as to which I’ll be freed, it’s seemingly impenetrable wall, is bout to crumble and fall, unleashing it all.. once and for-all.
