Untitled #31

You can carry your entire
record collection in ones and zeroes
in a little metal box
in your pocket
150 years ago they didn't even know what a record was
and in another 150 we won't remember
Jesus we have moved fast
fast
fast
no wonder the days seem like a blur

I Would Have Rather Been.. blah.. blah.. blah

If you were ruler of the world
would you change anything
or just put us all
with our backs to the wall
and laugh through the blue gun smoke
as we slump to the ground

Or would you rewrite history
to suit you

these are things I think
when I'm looking at you through
the space between
my fingers

End This

200 miles underground
It waits with the patience
of a moon
to rise up through the crust
when the Sun flares for the final time
it will eat its shell
and that will be the true end

2012 my ass

the Mayans had it all wrong

Father of all Monsters

There are airwaves
and radio stations
that transmit
this code
underneath all the music and noise
and there was a man
who saw what Saturn looked like
and Jupiter
and he told me our idea's
were all wrong
that life is out there
and it's just waiting to be discovered
and that the God's weren't myths
they just found that other places in the universe
are better to inhabit
predecessors to our journey
into the cosmos
ants crawling over the legs
of Typhon

Surgery

They are going to open me up
and take something out of me
they will fix the jigsaw puzzle
that is my spine
and take away the bad dreams
the pain
the fear
they are going to put me to sleep
and when I wake up
I will be a new man
I will be better
stronger
happier

Christ almighty I'm fucking scared

Fragile: Handle with Care

Karma's a bitch you said
but baby so are you
and how many more nights of
drinking to make the pain go away
can we take

Hay Fever

Cleaning out the cobwebs
so this scene plays out the right way
and I never got those humid hot nights
what special fascination they held

How long were you lying to me?

I don't think I was ever the
one and only you promised me I was

But the Sun is shining and
I don't feel that weight on my chest anymore
pushing down so I can't breathe

Late Summer

And my rocket ship is aimed for Alpha Centari
and I'm not scared

Nesting

Turn once
turn twice
turn thrice
blink and sigh
feel the looks in their eyes
fly sparrow fly
autumn is around the corner
and Florida beckons
or Mexico
where they shoot you for looking cockeyed
or for just being a gringo

Perfect Symmetry

Sunshine Sunshine
creeps through the bedroom window
and crawls her way into my sheets
curls up next to me and slips me a kiss
Hello Lover
It's only 2 a.m.
and morning has arrived

Sometimes I wake up dreaming..
