We are
Confident
In
The American will
That the Herd
Will
Forever
Follow.

If we
Met
Our forefathers,
Could
We
Relate?

Attuned bodies
Looking for
Immortality

Seeking a horizon
Set yet, in
Reverse.

What one
Does,
Does not
Matter.

It is We
And what

We

Do

That matters.

I listen to people
Talk of
Friends who are now artists.

They make things.
They construct things.
They put
Things on
Display.
And I wonder really,
Really
What is the point?
Two colors together
Make another
And the word, well, I think without
Any kind of force, more
Caught
Up
With
One's
Own
Ego...
Really has no place anywhere.

It's like a
Brick
Tossed aside void
Of
Concrete or
Others...
Alone on the
Street side by side
With trash and
Ripped up weeds.

There
Are
These challenges.
The mirror
Holds truth to every
Falsity.
One must choose
To
See said
Fault though...
To choose to see well,
That is the
First

Step.

I can hold a thousand
Candles at once and still not hold true light
If it is not for a reason for the whole.

I know what is right by the taste that befalls
My mouth; by what my eyes do when I squint to think;
By the looks of others faces.

Everlasting humanity
Dying
So to be
Reborn

When one
Forgets about
Time,
One forfeits the knowledge
Of the one's
Who have come

Before.

Candle light
Onna'
Dead horizon
Woken up by a flashlight
That ain't
Mine.

Down by the water
We watch and squeal
Wondering to ourselves
How God
Truly feels

Light-hearted and wandering
Dead ended and graduated
We are the fateful few
To young to be forever blue
Got too much time an'
Not enough money
Somebody somewhere
Can you tell me where's my honey?

She left two years ago
And a day
She took my dog and my
Favorite pair a' shoes
Oh' lord...
What on Earth am
I gonna' do?
She smelled like lavender
And chives on a Spring afternoon still
Wet from the dew
Oh lord...
What on Earth am
I
Gonna' do without you?

Desperate accents
Ain't nothing bout' us that's recent
Made up a make-believe
It crawled right up my sleeve
Out of orange juice
And done with abuse
Never did find her
That lady was born
To be free and unwillin'

Got another notch
Underneath my belt
You know...
Can't say what is for
Got another rock
In my boot
And you know what?
I sure as hell
Can't shake it
Ah **** I'm broken
Ah ****
I'm stolen
No one around me
Knows my name
And ****
Looks here I'm all outta' change
If I could only take my life
And rearrange

Too tall to
Tell
The difference
Between falling in love
Or falling
Into hate
Lots of words
Lots of
Definitions
Lots of reasons
Why we do what we do
For simple
Recognition

Last call
Last chance
A star sputters out like a broken down
Ol' 55

Out in the distance
A cold coyote howls
Every cell in me
Down under my skin
Tells me:

We gotta' begin again
We gotta' begin again
We gotta' begin again

Tailored suits
Pre-ordered wives
Diamond necklaces
All in stride
Pearl buttons
Pressed pages
Souls too damp
To wear it to tonight but,
It's alright,
Take mine.

It's alright.

The wind for some reason
Is always better
On my

Side.

Nature
Seeks
Equilibrium

Stability
Life
Experimenting
And failing
But seeking
A plateau
Where thought and breath
Can
Coincide

We are not
Random

We are merely
Tests

Let us
Not
Fail our creator;

Our Mother.
Our Mother.
Our Mother.

See not the past
Or
The present.

The future
Is the light, the clouds,
The earth, the dirt,
The fascination of our deepest

Obligation.

The mike
Stands
Still.

Are
Our voices

Ready?

Are our

Actions?

Let us
Prove ourselves
Right before
It is too late and we
Are
Forever

Wrong.

Light in the hall
Let's
Have a ball
Get on your hands and knees
An' Crawl

Beer on the way
Don't you say
Everyone's gotta
Pay the piper
Some way

Don't you be
Your own
Worse enemy
Your souls to good
To be spent all day
Belittling

Cross the road
Over the vine
Rests a tiny place
I call mine
Come over
Have a drink
Any day or time

I'm your absolute
You're my fish in a boot
Love me or don't
I don't give a toot
Gold and gems
All hidden things
Take my hand
Let us sing

When I take my tide
And let it ride
I think back on
A lot of silly things
One night stands
A flurry of flings
The river is wide open
Yet what I've felt
Cannot be spoken

Her hair falls
To her left breast side
She says words
Like a
Bereaving sigh
Aren't we here to love?
Aren't we here to die?
Aren't we here to live
With and without
The need to cry?
You took me for a fool
And I let you
What else was there to do
But act like
What you wanted me to prove?

I'm a drifting
Whistle
I'm a
Trundle of thistle
I'm a broken vein
Dancing
On ripped' sinew

Take me as I am
Or
Leave me
I'll find another way
Take me if you can
Or
Delete me

I don't mind being
Make
Believe

Take me
Jezabiel
You make me feel
As if
Im in a spell

You are the one
Underneath my wings
You are the one
That makes me crow
And
Sing.

I can't leave without yah'
Babe'.
You are the holy one
Above.

If I take you for granted,
Make me be the one,
That is stunted;

I am forgotten
Without you;
I am death
Without yah'.

Got a lot a worries,
Oh' you know
It's so.

Little sugar near me
Little sugar near my bowl.
Can't you see
That your life
Is nothing but words,
And a
Half-hearted pray.

Wolfs all around me.
You're the love of my life.
You take me to places
I never thought I'd go.

Take me slow.
Love me heavy.
You are the girl,
I've always wished
To know.

I feel your breath.
It rests upon
My paper thin
Napkin
Neckline.
You are my Cleopatra,
Streaming past
A transient dream.

Take me as I am,
All harmon, all joy,
Patriotism
Reflects
Like lost reflections
Of past ages
**** past remembrance.
