on a mission
in the hands of business
crushes the fine line

criminal salvation
this time around
it will not be
different

what the fuck happened
now more than ever
not since the stone age

we the people
we the dinosaurs
we the caring
left dying
the reality being
this

can’t do it

can feel it
in my breath
released
to the frozen air
lips sweating
preparing
to look out the window
here

direct from nowhere
my outpost on
mountain top

and
my love of the sidereal
with midnight

even if
you called yesterday
call again
look
find the best
for you

the benefit
sleeping
in the doorway
no lock
no key
only you

strangers in the twilight
again
only you

and that is what is
gone  yep it’s
only you

started a band
everyone
played out of tune

at first it
sounded like cacophony
eventually
the sound evolved
Beethoven’s unpublished
symphony
then it made sense
another good choice

a brief knife fight
who
would want to hear that
more evolution

then it happened
the new sound

it’s great
my gosh
a shift shaper

donated my brain
to the underworld
my blood to a poem

24 seven and
no time
only stood up

rich on a planet
you can not understand

this is goodbye
never spoken
there are no words
left

when we shared
when it was written
when we laughed
didn’t see it ending

now i do
now i will
now i know
now is forgotten

drawn together by air

wakes up
feeling
like a human being
a bother

a contribution
on top of that
breast feed
overweight

where is the connection
the evidence
the headline
the death of death
life
constant urgent
and wonderful

gratitude permanent

licks herself clean
does not shower

by the time
it’s over
we will be finished

keep hoping
keep praying
keep regretting
just keep

going

the group
has the power of
the individual

she dressed
like a man
while
i dressed
like a woman
and
we both knew
how to act

slightly concerned
now we are ready
can talk and sing
come see us
i
won’t be here

make an appointment
for
the hostage situation
involves thanksgiving
surrounded by the stuffing

how do i reach you
when
you are not here

brought to you by
religion and commercials
for the homemade

lord
you are beautiful
