Yes, freaky man on bus
Those are my *******, I'm sure
You must have seen a pair before?
I can tolerate a quick glance,
But is there any chance
You could take your stare elsewhere
For at least some of this journey?
I saw you pay in cash
At least you're getting your money's worth, at my expense.
I'd crotch-watch, pointedly,
Except there isn't much to see.
(On buses in London you have to pay twice the fare if you use cash, as opposed to an oyster or debit card)
Blood under my nails
And in between my teeth
Hair-and-bone-and-skin.

Faecal Matter
Ground into my knuckles
*****
Coating everything.

I am tainted by things of the body;
Of your body.
I remain unclean through choice
I need you in
And on
Within.
And

TRUE AS CAN BE

(We are)

••

there is ONLY PAIN
here



Hey!

Let's cut each other some slack

Okay?

••

Either a RICH KID or a POET?

!!!

(sure)

!!!

Come on!

EMERGE FROM THE

SELF CONTEMPT

EMERGE FROM THE

SELF DECEIT

••

(it's hard to think of you &

Write of beauty

All you tell me of is your pain

Or of the lover you wish to control and keep)

••
••

Yes!

Everything seems to be trying
To **** us!

••

Most of you are just little kids!



AND SO?

••

We walk so gingerly

We seek the Road to Real Hills

We know of the Gentlest
Most Enduring

POWER

••

today

(The PERPETUAL DAWN!)



you know that the path we are on leads only

To pain
Suffering

&
Death

(Real Death

NOT
Poetic death)

••

The TRUE MOUNTAIN

Is in your Heart

••

I will love you forever

&

Ever

••

What do you got to say ?
Who do be spyin me?
Them don't give me but a ****!

"*******  your feelings man"
Is what they think!
••
----  But they try spy me down!  ----

What was a country now is but
A corporate theology !

Militarized and sick with greed
And a ruthlessness beyond belief


So they spy us down!



So if'n you'd be loved be free

Free enough to stand

Up to them attacks THE CHILD
(The one you should be holding
By the hand)
•.

If you think it all a game
You'll
Take yourself unto the grave



Speak YOUR TRUTH

Loud and clear

Live for love and not for fear

••
. **
~~~
'n I ain't had a drink in near 4 years!

••

Had to get what I love --  straight
'n what I hate --  clear

('n to free my Truth
from all My Fears)


Here I am
Again

Ready to roll !

••

It is a strange and macabre time
A murderous time

A time of alien shapes
Inhuman sounds

Cause we can't trust OUR
*******  LEADERS!

Don't mean we shouldn't trust ourselves

No matter the innocent souls they ****

••

Love
--

Come
Gentle simple one

Be proud of your human-ness

It is all that we have left

It is all there is
It is all we need
••
///


Yes



You DO say so many things!
•••

The high moon hill and the caressing stars

The wind kissed fields

And the true lovers who come to sing


(We pick the flowers --
The ones which are there)


Now they are ******
And so we start to prepare

We start to prepare

For we are the ones who are here

••

And the rain falls
(Nourishing )

And we rise up
From the words

And stand

As simple as truth is



YES



We stand
I
"Walk the Cross"

Just to set you free
••

The death by love!

-------

I sing of the one truth
Because there is one

I enter your beauty
Because you let me

I forgive you
So you can know me

••

It's all really simple
And easy

••
Very easy
••

I
"Walk on the Cross"

Thru the city streets

I'm the one you see
As you look out the window

I'm the one knocking on your door
"To each his own,
but I'm ******' keeping mine."

ask anyone i know:
i have a tendency to forget things.

i forgot moose's middle name
my password
what day i have to go to the dentist
what i did yesterday
if i ate this morning
what year i stopped talking to ryan
the words to my favorite moldy peaches song
the name of a childhood friend
the book that i was supposed to return
the movie i was supposed to bring
the cookies i was supposed to bake
the smile i was supposed to smile
the words i was supposed to say

but this is only lately.
i used to remember everything

i thought my tactic of not thinking about the bad things
made the bad things not real

but it only makes me
forgetful
