hello again
it's been too long staying in
my voice cracks at any sign of pushback
i've fought the current before learning to swim
i've drowned with no one around, eaten by the waves
the air I called mine was stolen

late at night
bitten by the briskness from the waterside
I can't hide, there's spotlights out again
everyone is looking through the double sided mirror i'm enclosed in
i'm cooped up with no exit on the horizon
watch the sunrise on the ceiling
snuff the never ending night
just put me to sleep
I put me to sleep
i'll put me to sleep
i'll put me down
burning at both ends
waiting to collect the molten wax that drips
like a vicious cycle with delayed reward
here it comes

in the morning
wish it was nighttime
get out of bed
I put some eggs on
drift through the daylight
hazy and out there
when the sun sets
I am the master
now it is nighttime
I go for a bike ride
this is my time
my time to hide
I do not want to hurt you
but it's the one thing I must do
I follow the orders from my bastard master and he is the one that I serve

you better watch where you're stepping
this old house got creaky floorboards
any sudden sound might wake the neighbors
and you know we try our hardest to love them
do you think they have it out for us
I think they might have it out for us
do you think they went and bought a gun for us
do you think that they want to bury us
I think we have to move
I think we have to move
is it me talking or is it the paranoia
self diagnosed agoraphobia
there's bad guys around every painting
do you see him here standing in the corner
can you see him here hes right in the corner
tell me you see him here right in the corner
duck under windows hide under floorboards
shimmy off to bed
you know the rules, lights off by dusk
if you slip up we all could be dead

I aint never been fishing without my pal Jerry. Everytime we get together I can't wait to see all the funny fishes he's gonna pull out of the water. Being with Jerry is like the presence of a father. He's looking out so I can eat real good tonight, he's casting his reel to places I never thought of.

unfinished food

unfinished food for the spirits
I dont finish cups or plates
leave the rest for the swift wind of the unknown to sweep it away
dirty sink ashtray
warm window screen summer day
roasting in the sun
smelling of chemicals
oh yeah it’s right there
a familiar cupboard closes
3 years goes by
and you don’t even notice
someday i’ll be back
someday i’ll be back
like the old times again yea
like the old times
Living off pictures
I wish you’d pick up
Keep calling your phone yea
You never pick up

I can feel it all around
barely audible but it's nowhere to be found
it follows on the trails, it follows on the walk home
but when I turn around
I turn around and nothing says hello
I feel the stillness
nothing says hello
am I alone now?
universal murmuring disguised in pines and breeze over my face
the friction, I love it
so i wake up and i step outside
and i look around and i look to the sky
i stare at the sun and sing a little song
and i laugh and feel good so what could go wrong
i walk to the store and look at the people
going everywhere and doing what they do
and i go to the lake and relate to the ripples
and sit on some books and let the words roll through me
and i can feel it all around
it’s barely audible
and i’m searching for the sound
i follow on the trails
i follow everywhere
and when it’s finally found

bug eyes

ive never seen a creature traveling so fast with such intent
I asked where are you going early this morning before he took the wind
with bug eyes that wooed me it had to be moving you know there's no time to waste!
being so little must change your outlook in so many significant ways
someday i'll take to the wind and then you'll never see me again
someday these bug eyes will swim and then you'll never see me again
there's mamas and papas and aunties and uncles and someday we all will ferment
until the mold in our belly turns bile to babies that roll til they hit the cement

i saw your mother eat your family the other day
your brothers head
was like chicken wings
i saw your mother eat your sister whole in a firey escapade
second born
she never played
your father was next oh how he tried to run away
hiding never worked
your mother knows everything
the family pet was the only thing she left alone
oh she was ashamed
found days later by the mailman
full and hanged

I’m at a stop light
I’m looking down
avoiding all eye contact
get over yourself
cuz at the end you know
it’s not you
it’s the people around you
peering into your back seat
equally mute
perceiving you
well at the end of the day
when we all float away
we get to point b
and we’re all alone
its the people around you
they want you to say hello
say hello
