OUT OF THE GAME

I like working with children
Because they're not yet part of the game

I like working with the elderly
Because they're retired from the game

Everybody else in between
They're lame

THOSE WITH BIG HEARTS NOW HAVE BIG HORNS

the devil is very tricksy...and I'm talking figuratively...at least I think...he's a tricksy devil...because he's taken over the warm-hearted...he's had sex with the liberals...he's gotten his semen into their blood...and misdirected their good intentions...those with the big hearts now have the big horns...beware of the 'liberals'...because they are fascists in a new disguise...so full of hate...and so much uglier than what they protest

THEY MAKE ME THINK I'M FUCKED

confusion...and then I feel so sick...the anti-Trumpers make me so sick...Washington Post...New York Times...CNN...the entire media-industrial complex...and then they say they are the truth-tellers...and I get so sick again...but then I wonder...if they're really telling the truth...and I'm so sick by their truth...then I'm completely fucked in the head...because the truth makes me so sick...this makes me confused...hence why I said 'confusion' earlier...because they make me think I'm fucked...but I don't think I'm fucked...I know what you're thinking right now...because most readers of poetry hate Trump...so you're thinking I'm fucked...I don't think I'm fucked...but you think I'm fucked...so who's right here...I don't want to be fucked...and I don't think I am...but what does that make you if I'm not fucked...fucked? Fuck!

THE DRAGON IN MY CHEST

Confession: part of the reason I wrote this poem was to give me an excuse to post the HEART song.

THE DRAGON IN MY CHEST
by matt burns

The Dragon in my chest
Has been asleep
For so long

Then a Tinder message comes
I send one back
And there's another

I feel the Dragon stirring
He turns over
He snorts
He smacks his lips

But the messages cease
And the Dragon's quiet again

Back to sleep,
There's not a peep.
It's good to know,
He's in there, though.

All along,
He's been in bed.
Wow
I thought
he was
good
as
dead.

SMOKE SIGNALS

SMOKE SIGNALS
by matt burns

I've been sending this smoke into the air
I'm tired
So hungry
At the point of despair

Where's my tribe
They must be out there
Somewhere

WRITING NEWS!

So I haven't been doing all that much poetry lately, but, don't worry, because I've been writing more than ever. I recently completed a memoir called "The Natty Ice Diaries" and completed two other non-fiction books called "True Paranormal Stories" and "The Burnzo Papers". The former book, as you may have guessed, is a compilation of paranormal-related stories I've written over the years while the latter book is a compilation of current-events related articles/essays I've written.

I also recently started my sixth novel, a Milton-esque work of religious fiction entitled THE WOMAN AND THE DRAGON. I made a teaser video to promote it, which you can view below. In fact, I've started making teasers for all my novels. Because I'm in a good mood and I like you, I will actually post three other teasers that I made for my novels BLOWTORTURE, JOHNNY CRUISE and SUPERMARKET ZOMBIES (watch them below).

Oh, and one more thing! I have several new and fun short non-fiction stories up at my other blog. Click HERE to check them out!

Thanks for reading, I love your body and stay tuned for more news!
