As if grass could grow a little bit deeper, Next to roots, “How nice to meet ya” It’s sad to say the summers setting To make room for the moon’s wedding A landscape stain is someone’s shelter Pulling hairs, “I want to feel ya” Atmosphere squeezed in a bottle, And at the bottom there’s a reason Four electric limbs in every order Dusted down, “I need to taste ya” Tease the sky with scarlet letters And words dressed in anxious sound Three years of love battered lust, “Who am I who can I be?” Foliage tends to garden, The part of me, I did not want to see Undercover ears drink for a good friend But the world is crying and were not listening You can’t cut your lover if you love her We keep killin’ what keeps those lovers fresh air Cities of lightness lay in forests Animal vernacular smokes spectacular Dreams sick on people collect ashes The fruitful spirits counting backwards Plastic feelings scrape the upper lip of Pan, “Oh dear, sweet goat trickle fits”

Oh, I’ve been wasting my life, Jumping thru these leary hoops, on fire Dancing for old girls in monkey suits I’ve waltz thru twenty years I’ll dance thru twenty more And somewhere down the line I’ll trip and fall, And open my damn eyes To all those things I want And all those things I don’t A seed to grow in me until it pulls me inside My mom was racist, Her eyes were sunken in My heart's been racing since, I taught it how to beat Oh, I’m a sleepy sentence, Cozy between dormant books Earmarks, forgotten flowers, healing powers Lost in time They say, “The world is yours” But then what is mine? I want to share I want to care I want to be cared for By beautiful fairies, Who see a man in me And feed me chocolate love And teach me responsibility Take me down water, Baby please, don’t break me I was breathing, I was drowning, I (you) stopped breathing, Now I am Floating

Someone, thinks for you Someone, thinks for you The animals are the humans, And the humans are the animals too Plant a caterpillar in your face and forget it Butterflies out your mouth So copacetic, don’t you get it We’re pathetic

Oh strange body, how you haunt me Oh strange body, how you hold me A list of reasons, Bury your home made of stone Cherish your heart made of gold When you’re alone, When you’re alone Talked to seasons, They’re hungry can’t tell when they’re full This party can’t handle no more And if I’m still grabbing dandelions in the end Than I’m a fool Thoughts are weddings, Of two toe-tied dancers who spread They’re legs as the voice in your head To all you can have, And all that you can’t Hug your spirit Cool air feels more when you’re pink Life flashes by when you blink So get up and do, more than just think Now that I can’t be alone, More than I can be alone A list of reasons, To love all those things that you love, Those colors that dance for no one else, The stories you’ve wrote But you’ll never read again

Only one thought a day, I thought I’d play In my treefort I stay

So don’t run, Eat from the tree That bathes with the Sun And drinks listerine With those cold, cold Binocular eyes He seasons the sky Behind crystal clouds

My Town 02:55
Ay-oh, we got that We got that, we got that H20 1,2,3 mystical do-re-mi, You’ve got a friend in me Speak holy comedy, Higher than piety Things it will do to me, Things I won’t do to you This town means my town Around town, I love this sound

Running around in circles in my head Got me so dizzy, so fast I drank the wrong medicine That’s gonna make this shit last I wish I took the other stuff To watch those lights take flight Just like the hands on the clock Each and every night When all the illusions, “I’m a loser, I’ve got mental diseases” That I’m beating by depleting All I’m eating each season In the morning I’ll be puking up the pieces remembered In the morning, I’ll be coasting on a coffee table Alameda have I told ya how I need ya To be there, in the morning As I’m preparin’ a so bear flight I’ve been thinking about those things The mountain goat above my toilet would say Today he’d say, “Everything will be alright” How can anything or everything be alright? When liquid energy is leakin’ from the nose I surrendered To the cost-benefit of picking up the newspaper In the morning, as I’m tick-tock, talkin’ Of plummeting people, plumbing planets Pushing enigmatic gastric plastics Seemingly fantastic, bombastic bombings Of the wombats I know, you know, That your homes are too good, To think all about the things that you should We froze, we froze Subrosa, subrosa Crawling like an infant, Father Time drags himself into his marigold bed. His head incessantly throbbing, he reaches for his pocket watch and rotates the hands four hours forward. Just as he returns his watch to his pocket, Mother Nature trumpets from the hall. Seeping right thru the cracks of the bedroom door, she sings the song of ten-thousand song birds. “Father Time, while you were gone drinking wine and lapping luxuries, I was out, comforting chatterpines and solacing youngerberries. Assuring them that Father Time, surely had all, but forgotten their lives. The seasons will be here, the seasons will change. The seasons will be here, just later this year! The rosewhales weeped, and the letterlotuses won’t sleep. Father Time your ignorance now is a spectacular crime. If you want all the best for my children and I, then give up your humans, please put them to rest. Fingering his palm, Father Time counts all the lines. Seven-billion it seems, his eyes decide. Brooding his brow, each wrinkle runs deep, Father Time speaks with closed cheeks. “Let it be heard, that lessons are learned by all who think, and I am why. All the unknowns are known by me, only time can tell a secret decree. If it is not clear, don’t worry my dear. Things as they seem, unravel at the seams.”

Here’s the thing, We’ll love it when we can’t speak Well here’s the thing, We’ll love it when we can’t speak A turnicate so tight, A blasted bird’s beak A turnicate so tight, A blasted bird’s beak All days catch up, Pull your hanging tail in All days don’t seem up, Unless you seek them dancing All days catch up, Pull your hanging tail in All days don’t seem up, Unless you seek them dancing Hold it down now, express your ugly concepts Proud now, embrace your ugly contents
10.
Ploom love, In boxes somewhere, Sinking on a ship While your angels are stirring Burning their last wish On cigarettes, Those unforgiving kiss Your messengers, Have packed up all and left And your friends all know, You sleep in catacombs Coburn, From spools that spiral, Out from between legs That silly thing that, Keeps me in my head And stops the thoughts from, Squeezing into juice That juice that men drank, And never drank again
