-------------------------------------------------------------------------- (funny how gentle people get once you're dead) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- high roller high stakes bearded soldier behind a wooden desk collapsed heart black hole identities looking through windows for fresh bodies to heave and rent cannon-in expressionless walking by put-on dead dull mind on this this is and that projecting files on a silver hat what you think tells me who i am nickle realities hold them in your hands ----------------------------------------------------------------- the stitch-cloth lightening of restless hearts torn up by ambition they fall apart walk by regret walk by happy stuck the message is the meaning when you're cannon-struck light the fuse and watch it burn on the street a couple embraces against the cold all is love walking past like an insignia on my soul sweet girl at the corner store hands him a card and her heart she gave him a valentine right in front of me so sweet and smiled like cool blue smoke in an iodized dream you never know when it's your turn what can be seen can't be said what it is you can't keep it in the shed a faceless mission there's a million ways infinite thoughts fall like rain you can't keep it or build it up then what it is just becomes corrupt thoughts and memories go and come the future-past it comes undone there's happen and a'happening and many ways --------------------------------------------------------- wire coils around our hearts smoke fills our lungs sitting in chipped seats in bright humvees skulls cracked and spilling precious thoughts and petite dreams a new goat for father your next pair of jeans our right to feel safe is bought with tankers of blood our child sleep soundly their's sleep in the mud they those evil ones they have a dozen names ultimate-preserving-freedom-justice is a school in flames -------------------------------------------------------------- say something once never say it again take all the flags down from the walls of your den they'll make a good fire no future no past that is just a trick a turn of mind only eternal moment converging they think that self image never ends watch them watch themselves there's something crazy about people who think they know something and it's real there's a trace of logic from the dust on the trail and more than one way to cross the silver stream old man with an afro there could be any number of reasons why the shit went down to the people who look for rusted steel mortars homes in the shells and to the man crouching with his arms 'round a lamppost don't you see the cars rushing by your knees? you're on the edge of the road but at least it's not the middle they breathe and yawn and sow the flowers in your yard to those to scared of themselves to smile at a stranger to be drunk once is enough to be drunk is to be drunk one and all to the boys at war with love and the girls that lay themselves at the feet of a horse out-of-control find the keys in your pocket the door was never locked everyone wants security a hearse for the ride home complete with bulletproof windows iron plates in case of bombs but the mini-bar is empty and the gas tank is full you give the doctor all your money but he still collects the bill the rain don't touch you in your limousine prozac's just a pill my pet snake sleeps beside my bed i feed him dollar bills your watchdog like a cigarette burning down like a chain don't make no difference to you now now, now you've got a baby-errorplane still you've got to hand it to them those folks with emu farms those birds might not fill our stomachs but they sure do fill the yard keep up the gold pillars for the new dead fool king he'll bring us to the promised land he'll make the rubber chickens sing sometimes you've gotta wonder what it's all about, when there's a man and his gun pointed out of his eyelids he's only having fun. some kingdoms last forever some others they just fail every generation has it's coffin and a nail still drinking up religion still spelling lies as truth still gambling at casinos actiing cool and so aloof somethings gotta give sometime someones gotta live the trees could be grow a little taller but we like to eat the roots. ------------------------------------------------------- . look at us we're on t.v. we're the men who know we'll tell you how to live we've got big heads and bigger guns egos made from iron drums hear us beat our drums --------------------------------------------------------------- . there goes the neon saint with the vanilla girl out of my mind and on to the street it's hot in the bus we just rode past he's a gleam in the window a word spelled backwards i wish i could see through unfettered eyes. the people pile in a baby blinks and stares i look at the patterns on socks and mongolian heads over the bridge along side the box-car windows caterpillar light a girl talks so fast the car's are drenched by her spit lips and teeth reflecting light ------------------------------------------------------------------- . joy is people, not in things. a winter silvering light, a forest after rain. unifying space time field experience, is death to thought of mind / unmind's precious indifference. it's unwired lightening, light of eyes in eyes, communion, charity, unjudged and unjudging circumstance. it's the remote look i get, you ask me: what are you thinking? we sit riding the train the window nothing just look, the silvery light like the golden light of summer has grown from nothing in me i can't be sure if you see it too, but i hope you do, listen: clatter, clatter, clatter it's been a while since we took a train journey together. coming home to you, mother father in the backseat catching the sides of their faces, dad pats mums leg and there too, a glimpse of darkness from which came light. streetlights, the dashboard glow. pets learn it from your touch my rabbit lamb cat / cats and now charlie is my balm my gladness like seeing a tow-truck towing a tow-truck, he takes the edge off a subfusc day. joy is the smell of rust, fumes, engine, body electric. a man yawns and buildings are painted ochre yellow. it's there in tiredness, like a hard days work and the first sip of cool beer. all time bends to it, broken up to reassemble this side of the dream. rings of maps and rivers, stick to the path, the water falls in it's own pursuance under roads and stately homes in caves there's mystical ancient bliss, stalatit-ing fragility knowing with one touch it's gone. some never reach their golden years, but time is unknown to love, which is pure and of this moment. --------------------------------------------------------------- . try to see it's a roundabout and then jump off! back © All work herein copyright
