(Pry open)
Mornings for writing wrongs
Afternoons for wagons of wagging tongues what wrap around each other like pythons
Evenings for sleeping
What more can one man do?
This is all happening
While we speak
Everything & everything else
Everything’s happening
Mornings for being strong
Prying out muh system
Afternoons for leaving
Evenings for weeping
Educate my rage
The same page we’ve always been on
This is still happening
While we speak
Everything & everything else
Everything’s happening

There is what is & what should be
& never the twain shall meet
You’re over there & I’m over here
& never the twain shall meet
I took the liberty of keeping my distance
& never the twain shall meet
I know where I would rather be
& never the twain shall meet
I took the liberty of introducing myself at parties
Being the bi that I thought I’d be
As it becomes a crutch
“Let’s keep in touch”
Though I know what you’re really saying to me
You have no idea what you do to me
& never the twain shall meet
I know where I would always much rather be
Whenever the twain shall meet
In places you don’t talk about
Rambling at parties
Being the boy I never thought I’d be
As it becomes too much
Please keep in touch because I know what you really mean to me
My aim
I’m sorry

Kumquat
03:19
|
|||
|
I’ve come to the conclusion that a lot of life is waiting around for not very much to happen.
& in a place like this, the most that one can hope for is to get started upon by some big kumquat.
First: the loneliness
Second: the motion to make it slow
Third: indecisiveness
It’s the boredom that puts people on death row
I do not know where to go
Fuck you future me; this is the best you’ll ever be
& Hell is a waiting room
& Heaven is a gated community
The only times I don’t hate myself are when I’m being a big kumquat
First: the loneliness
Second: the motion to make it slow
Third: indecisiveness
It’s the boredom that puts people on death row
I do not know where to go
From the cradle to flames
It continued seemingly on forever, endlessly & then it stopped
Y’know someday you’re going to die & the world will breathe a sigh & feel a kumquat lighter
I do not know what to tell you
First: the loneliness
Second: the motion to make it slow
Third: indecisiveness
It’s the boredom that puts fuckers on death row
I do not know where to go

Dearth
03:55
|

A little something, something to cull the edging
Bending out of all proportion
Distended & mutilated
Sombre ‘n diluted
In one end, it comes out the other side; alive
Barely breaths
Slow death
No telling how it’s going to end
Well I guess that’s that
I still need it back
Up yer arse
Forgive my belligerence but fuck off you fish eyed, dead head cunting bollocks fuck!
Was it a bit much?
No hope & no remorse
Well I guess that’s enough
I love you so fucking much

Compliance
01:37

I understand.
You needn’t expand on your answer
Enraptured
(I’m listening)
& so adrift
Lift fingertips through what we missed & what we did
(I miss it)
& I miss our time, with your own mind
You’re your own kind & you’re not mine
(You’re beautiful)
I miss living
Miss misgivings
Quick quivering, swift shivering
(I’m brittle)
So long have I wanted to die
I must comply with quiet resign in healthy compliance

Kind words; how they depict us
Sharp swords
Raised & to the point
They better, better get the words to go backwards
Start emanating from a voice outside us
Why ye braving the acquaintance of a bigoted & maladjusted fuck tonne when the best that one can hope for (sure) is tantamount to a complete indifference?
Least that is what they tell me.
Least breathing everyday
Fists.
Twisted amid smoke ‘n bones
Terse word: “As long as you’re okay”
“I’m never better! I am the life & soul!”
(All the while my little heart is brea...)
“King Substance Wolf stood atop Mountain Clouds & all the while, rampaging!
Proclaim to my devoted flock something along the lines of:
‘Let’s get fucked up!’”
Before we burn up.
Kind words are better

Destination
04:59
|
|||
|
Say missy could you help me?
I been wandering round & I’m a little bit lost
Going off of the setting sun might account for my lack of a direction
You might just know the way
The way to my destination
Say missy does this go off road?
I been wandering round & I don’t got no home
Round and round in a circle
Lost alot in my own loneliness
Floating
Coping
Hoping you might just know the way
The way to my destination

Gumption
04:05

I show up late for the great rollicking, bollocking what so I hear (far too clear) has been deemed to be a long time coming
Pertaining to something I done
What the ho; what the heck?
Indignation kept in check
I am bred & they breed
Information we receive through gumption tired eyes
& the winner is the first one who dies
First prize!
In innocent lies
Can barely describe
& you were so right
Bodies twisted in moonlight
Reckless in the wind
Daylight
Daylight coming in so bright
Kept alive
Anything you can do would be obliged
& we will try, try to keep
Keep in mind
Minding gumption tired eyes
Weak from a lifetime of bored compromise
But hey ho
What the heck? What the hell?
Indignation I can quell
Just a bit used to it
Many years of practice
One more cannot hurt
Just about what you deserve
Can barely form words
Like it matters
& you were so right
Bodies twisted in moonlight
Reckless in the wind
Daylight
Daylight coming in so bright
Kept alive

Aye!
04:24

In a mode of change one can sure show ones age
Don’t you know that you can ride & hide for as long as you like?
To a burning sea
Past a load of debris from a crumbling mountain range what’s showing its age
Will you come with me?
Don’t have to say immediately
Don’t you know that there’s the morning sun, egging us to go on & continue through the plethora of trees
Swarming of the fallen leaves that swells open to a mighty lake that shows us our age
You can run & hide for as long as you like
Don’t you know that?
