Califurban Boy

restless for day
to wake
up and out
on my bike
adrenaline junkie
zigzag, cutting through
metal and man
yet alive
and alone
with smells

escalation
of euphoria
strong shot
up my vein
when smile
goes limp
and brain chatter
is gagged
unconscious

no need for
CERN
string of theories
slices of membranes
to prove
you and I
are two
colliding universes
–shawnzahedi.com

once bitten
I’m intoxicated
for life
can’t clear
ukulele whisper
my mind
island kiss
island fever
naked sounds
naked sun
I smile.
–shawnzahedi.com

we all compete
to take a nip
virgin delight
hover around
adore the sight
show-off our might
pick-out the smile
those willing lips
our eager

raised to run
focused, fast
pass obstacles
fearless, far
but can’t
simply can’t
keep up
with the wind

sky is coughing
’cause I…
air has fever
’cause I…
earth is blistered
’cause I…
in stupor
raped
life
unprotected
though we
are wed
and

tonight
I ran
away
from cars & crowds
to the dead
empty streets
of Beverly Hills

but I
could not run
away
from stars

jouer dans la fôret
des rêves…
l’enfance perdue
ou redécouverte
la jolie fille
la souris séduisante
le garçon perdu
le lapin méchant
bâiller mon nom

eat, pray, love
in L.A. …
no need to travel
wide spans of ocean
no need to let go
what you hold dear
let go
