Shall I eat the earth
And everyone on it?
Spit ‘em into bits and
Wear ‘em ‘round in my pockets
Like I’m a filthy rich
With gold to his ears
If I had his eyes
I’d make love with the mirror twice
I’m the shit
A bright neon god
Bulletproof baby
With a newfangled three-piece on
What a dream
Such American prose
To keep smelling green
Til you wake up without a nose
The devil’s in the valley
The sky is a monster
We’re patrons in a crowd
Of silver smooth talkers
My street’s a museum
A blemish on our skin
Neglected until it makes
Another one of our heads spin, oh
Jesus Christ,
I think I’ve seen the light
It’s the price of your spine
I hope that’s all right with you?
There’s no question
Without being seen a beggar
So I keep my hands stuffed in my mouth like a motherfucker
I’m choking on the wrong hands
Would you give me a hand?
I need a goddamn hand

Always Saying Nothing

Did you forgive me when I came off boring?
I only wanted not to share so much all at once
Think I was trying to make it something else again
Like a drunk in an alleyway I kept singing to myself about it
All the rest of my heads are on the hunt
For the mind I lost, I tried to throw it out
Are you afraid of heights? I fear I’ll let you down too slowly
Do I convey the sentiment of one hundred poets only
I’ve the great white teeth of an elephant
In the mouth of a bluebird in cement
Spent the last three nights chewing on glass
Never gave my brain a rest
When I cough up the grains of a humble lung
And attempt to engage in another tongue
By saying shit, I’m saying nothing at all
Just saying saying saying saying saying
These sudden surges of extroversion
Do they alarm or do they help things balance out?
Make love in the park while everyone watches
Let’s go bowling wearing only roses on our crotches
We will live in modest homes
And surround ourselves with coloured walls
I’ll depart from my habit of foolish jokes
If you pray for me (I’m only kidding, don’t)
Am I droning on? Am I thinking too much?
God damn, take a breath and shut myself up
I know I need to get it all right
But I just don’t have the energy now
So we’ll decide we’re just staying in tonight
For a treat and a box of cheap red wine
We can play with ourselves and play rah rah
Maybe you could touch me there, oo la la la la
Little bits of me will live in the air
And dissolve into words that scream to be heard
If I’m saying them, I’m saying my mind
So I’ll say it, say it say it say it say it

Smashing

Stumbled on a picture of you and your son
Weatherwomen within me were soon announcing the flood
Rewound the reel for another round
We were then two polar bears just dancing alone
Five years lie somewhere I’ve never gone
Have you ever left like this? ‘Cause I have not
Shall I keep this farewell so finely worded?
Eloquent and the slightest bit perverted
Wish you well, smashing
I’ll be too
Wish you well, smashing
No more wondering
PS. Is this an
Ellipsis or full stop?
Ellipsis or full stop?
Ellipsis or full stop?

Moths All Around Me

I know what you are
You're my fanfare
Am I yours as well?
I'm your fanfare
Alone I fell
Into the room
Now I walk out
In hand with you
I was a child running
Into the warm arms of a fire
We keep pulling through
All the time
We'll speak in absolutes
Half the time
Meet me at the bridge
Of your nose
Meet me everywhere
Our hands go
Leave the outside light on for a while
Charm me with stories of your night
Did we fall asleep with the light on again?
How were your dreams? And were we moths in them?
Wouldn't that be pretty?
Wouldn't that be?
