father arrives carrying lovelessly the weight of his own shadow across the furniture. throws his socks missing the mouth of the laundry bin. exhaust of television static as his mouth opens agape receiving the dizzy fizz of turning channels like spindrift through the windows moist, wizened on his resigned couch he falls asleep like a pin dropped into the heart of the ocean— life, what have you done? mother lacquers her fingernails as the dog wags his tail furiously the mirrors ache as dead moments grow roots in the viscera, as shadows curb themselves perfecting their disappearances, the madhouse women rehearsing their discomfitures time swiftly passed through the very past of things that we have forgotten, late to unsay the day struck by wind and too uneventful to even plead for undivided rest.

Father's Tired Socks
An auspicious feeling sounded the bells See you, calm and deadly towards the new I can feel the vibration from my hell Do you have a name, dear? Where is your crew? Lonely sailor, you know theese islands well My tears are already smothering me Never heard the old tunes. I’m on a shell. If this dark room is my fate, agony. Today I saw the ship ropes being slit Wait, where are you going? Don’t you see Jack? As I approach you in despair, I quit Bang Bang, you shot me in the neck Who would have thought this miserable end?! A filthy pirate for which my heart stands
