Clay Kohut Poems

All set for an adventure,
Would you like to come with me?
we could head into the mountains,
or the shallow southern sea,
...

You're an ant.

You're a soldier,
You're a worker,
...

On top of my game
I've nothing to gain
from a burnout who burned out last week
...

We started to live
we started to die
You started by poking a stick in my eye
...

I'm bracing for the fall out
of the fight
the deadly radiation
what a sight
...

My suicide, though I've not died,
is going just as planned
I'm sinking in slow sand
tied to a rubber band
...

I tend to tread alleys
at the dead of night
some times I see rapists
sometimes a gang fight
...

The homeless man sets down his can and then begins to play,
singing the songs from older days,
he doesn't dress like he's been paid,
I stall to listen,
...

Never should have said I loved you
You said it first, what could I do
I woke up naked; you were too
I thought we were just having fun
...

I need to get some toothpaste
I need to get some teeth
I need to get some molars
because it's hard to eat
...
