SBD POETRY ISSUE 1 (aka SBD pseudo issue 9.5)
Sorry this poetry issue took so long to come out...I was plagued by many problems. First, I almost had this issue finished, and then I lost almost all my work due to harddrive problems. Second, I got way too caught up in work. I want to apologize to anyone who submitted anything to this issue and didn't see it. That means that I lost it with the other 90% of the original issue... this is just the first of many poetry issues... just keep the poetry coming, and we'll hopefully have another poetry issue on the horizon. Send your poetry to me at jason.seiple@bozax.com Enjoy this issue, we have worked pretty damn hard on this one. Let the poems begin! Adios,
Lettuce

I am currently wishing to tell you that this is the intro to the all poetry issue. You see, I have it on my mind, for what seems like a very long time... all I needed was some time to find, and maybe a little help from the big bud kind. But now for words, I think I'm stuck, so why not introduce our favorite one, fuck, and now we shall crawl up out of the muck, and dive into this issue full of junk. Secrets - Lettuce So many little secrets trouble minds things kept hidden down where none can find so many little secrets plague mankind. Fears that creeping, in the mind's bell they're ringing asking "what will everyone think?" and "when will these troubles cause me to sink?" Sink into the eternal razor slashed nevermore all because of these secrets the mind has to store when the dull whisper turns into a deafening roar. And maybe if more would understand than maybe less deaths would be planned and then a safe world could be at hand. Live, learn, understand, accept... hug a troubled kid today... save his life. Haikus - Steve Drink Wa-Wa Coffee Enjoy their Irish creamers makes your shit slide out. Work at McDonalds Save up and go to Art School Work at Burger King. Nazi Skinhead Girls Weigh more than their fat boyfriends They must love corn dogs. Joseph Genaro Gave me his Cheap Trick Records I gave Joe my cold. While your at K-Mart You should stop at their Cafe' Really good french fries. Went to Men in Black Got stuck in middle of row Couldn't leave to pee. Jaime Lee Curtis Born with both wiener and vag That is kinda Weird. Went on tour today forgot my deodorant had to use Dandrew's I hate Rikki Lake But I do like makeovers So I watch her show Is this milk curdled? I'll have my girlfriend try some. I bet she can tell. On the Internet Adult ID checks aren't cheap No porno for Steve. New Coke, Clear Pepsi Hoarded in some dorks's basement. Next to Vulcan Ears. My VCR sucks takes too long to rewind I'm charged fifty cents Out of Cat Litter. My Cat always lets me know. She Shits on the floor. Where is home now? - Lettuce Where is home now? when there is nowhere else to turn? Where is home now? when your welcome has finally worn out? Where is home now? when everyone else merely wants to ridicule? Where is home now? when you feel sad and dejected? Where is home now? when the pain has become too much to live with? Where is home now? when life no longer matters? Where is home now? when you become a broken individual? Where is home now? when the impulses overtake you at last? Where is home now? when this day is your last? Where is home now? when you take that final overdose? Where is home now? when you zone out for the last time? Where is home now? A coffin, a tombstone, and an empty world left behind. Where is Hell? - Addict The continuation of life, everyday, smash up, bang up, stretch, make it disappear... as hell engulfs you once again and all you know can help you no longer and your mind cries out, for money to buy soothing pleasure. Numb the pain, this life hurts tranqualized and numb, joyful smiling hurt no more that is what you seek... but until it comes burning pain smash up, bang up, feel the laughing skulls all laughing at you laughing down on you lie down, fetal position, love is no more... mother earth rejected you help... scream, noone hears as the fire consumes you cry, tears in eye die, feel as if it has come god, will he have mercy, or am I still alive? pain engulfing me... ache, sooth my pain, please. Until I can numb myself once more, this is hell. For C - Lettuce With your smile, you made the day light up. With your beauty, you made the world a better place. With your love, you started to make me feel complete. With your touch, you could make all my problems seem non-existant, if for only a short while. With you gone, I feel worse than before. With the absence of your calls, I feel worried and sick. Without your insight, I now feel lost. Without you, I don't want to live anymore. And I think it was you who said, if things just didn't turn out, we would always be friends. But where are you now... when I need a friend the most? TO quote Husker Du: I've got nothing to do I've got nothing to say Everything is so fucked up I guess it's natural that way EVERYTHING FALLS APART! EVERYTHING FALLS APART! To Jess - Lettuce The days of your youth are bright, but now that you've turned your back, I just hope you always remember, the advice that I gave you. Popularity isn't the goal to live for, yourself is the only thing to be true to. Always ignore the ones who try to stand in your way, and do what YOU feel is the best to do. I know that you probabally now hate me, that unfortunately can't be helped... but remember the advice from this former friend, ALWAYS remain true to yourself. To Lettuce - Taco In your darkest days, you must begin to understand that life is a beautiful thing, and you are still needed. Before you insult yourself, you must remember, that you have many assets, and you are still needed. Remember the smiles that you bring to the days of all who you meet, and your humor that brightens the days of all who listens. Stay a while, you need to. life is too beautiful to waste, and you must always remember that you are still needed. Ready To Die - Joe We are ready to die said Charles We are ready to face the ugly end Im not certain I'm ready to die said Mr Bangs I dont think I want to die I dont Shut up I dont want to die So Mr Bangs was shot Then Mr Grey began to cry So he was shot Tony screamed He was shot The rest of us stood silent faces of gravel Trick Or Treat - Joe Trick or treat is dandy you get lots of candy Red blue yellow green orange purple tangerine Hide through the park Glow in the dark Lick suck swallow Fuel Rod - Joe Johnnys got a fuel rod six feet two dont know what hes gonna do somebody from the NRC was over dont know who said get rid of that rod before September 2 Johnnys house is where we play with the fuel rod night and day but the NRC's gonna take it away Conclusion - - Lettuce I fear that now is the time to leave, but we will be back sometime in the future with more poetry that will blow your mind.
