hello i am trellis and i am a gay robot on acid.

group sez: 'Hi Trellis!'

oh what joy to permabulate gayly through the corn waving our limp wrists at the silly cawing crows and weaving dragonflies into tiaras and crowns.

oh my how happy we will be when we come crashing together in one great collision of carbon alloys and receptor devices like SaraPunk's hermaphrodite slugs all in a heap thrashing then still. ok... that's all.

i'm done.

Lincoln Sward: born 10/08/74 in Escondido, CA

I really don’t know what this is all about. I was just writing these poem for therapy...and to give me an idea where I was at in life. All of it seemed as if it were the way things are and that I could relate more to my reality then I could others. So I let it live and gave it a home on page.
Now alive..and better off than I was I started to share this life with others..it’s better than nothing and I already have enough of that.
