I ate some orange before the travel trip Tilted the sand dial and defied times tenacious turmoil The rockets were shot into space full of seed and castrated politicians We shielded our eyes from the Chem trails they cut slices through the sky Watch the master mucus slide into contrived contraptions Slime these wrong doers and reestablish the gold tooth A wafer for your thoughts it's all I have The banker only gave me wooden pennies and a cardboard cutout of Miami He smiled while he hustled My father always said never trust a suited reason He mowed fields with motors built by his careful hands sometimes a spider would take his knee brace and conflict came antibiotics and spaghetti Westerns made him whole He dies two years ago now but we still smile for his stubborn statues I met a snail that hindered my momentum but he was much older so I paused politely I always talk with the old heads and ask about Nixon and Elvis they amuse and frighten with their time stained logic Everyone thinks I'm crazy but that's alright I use to think I was sane and castle inclined but 25 years of folks stating your unstable may break a brain fortunately I have a back up I found it in a Denver appliance store next to a fallout shelter The man said it cost a dime but I hand him my pocket lint instead we nodded at mutual hysteria and dined with the cannibals I mixed up my brain purchase so sometimes nostalgia gets the better of me This new one once belonged to the duke of Delaware sometimes he talks low But I've gotten better about leaving him on the back burner I heard he ate dust and cried while clapping for Hamilton this is me reorganizing my headspace This is me gagging on tuna helper I grew up in a food stamp paradise spam and apple's for after school snacks spaghetti with the red paste makes taste buds mutiny but the bus lady gave me a sticker every time I climbed on healthy and bruised I feel better

Trash day
I ate some orange before the travel trip Tilted the sand dial and defied times tenacious turmoil The rockets were shot into space full of seed and castrated politicians We shielded our eyes from the Chem trails they cut slices through the sky Watch the master mucus slide into contrived contraptions Slime these wrong doers and reestablish the gold tooth A wafer for your thoughts it's all I have The banker only gave me wooden pennies and a cardboard cutout of Miami He smiled while he hustled My father always said never trust a suited reason He mowed fields with motors built by his careful hands sometimes a spider would take his knee brace and conflict came antibiotics and spaghetti Westerns made him whole He dies two years ago now but we still smile for his stubborn statues I met a snail that hindered my momentum but he was much older so I paused politely I always talk with the old heads and ask about Nixon and Elvis they amuse and frighten with their time stained logic Everyone thinks I'm crazy but that's alright I use to think I was sane and castle inclined but 25 years of folks stating your unstable may break a brain fortunately I have a back up I found it in a Denver appliance store next to a fallout shelter The man said it cost a dime but I hand him my pocket lint instead we nodded at mutual hysteria and dined with the cannibals I mixed up my brain purchase so sometimes nostalgia gets the better of me This new one once belonged to the duke of Delaware sometimes he talks low But I've gotten better about leaving him on the back burner I heard he ate dust and cried while clapping for Hamilton this is me reorganizing my headspace This is me gagging on tuna helper I grew up in a food stamp paradise spam and apple's for after school snacks spaghetti with the red paste makes taste buds mutiny but the bus lady gave me a sticker every time I climbed on healthy and bruised I feel better
