Finding
my identity
as I fumble
through your
laundry,
I'm finding
my identity
as I stumble
through some
palm trees.

Sitting on the sand
where I watch the tide,
I'm sitting on the sand
where I syllogise;
sunshine and sugar pills,
of which I am comprised.

Honey,
if I'm a ***,
it's because you made me one.
Hustlin' out of your garage,
it never takes us far.
My hands are in your hair,
now it's all up in the air...

Hard love in your garage,
hey now, we are what we are.

And it's okay darling,
for the stage you're in,
'cause you're still shedding
so much skin.
Push the blood to the tendon -
lend me a hand, save Sunday
for sleeping in.

When the rhythm hits
and the syllables split,
I'm just trying you.
If I get to heaven,
or, if I could only
just get the hell on
out of here,
it would be
'cause I followed you.
to be honest, I'm exactly what i wanted to be
i came here looking for the truth
and to find someone else out there
who holds something i want
more than anything else in the world,
someone else who breathes diamonds and electricity.
i have an audience now,
and its time i came to grip that
you all are more important to me
than any girl i've ever touched,
i'm ready to admit that.
Reminiscent thoughts of how it used to be
Not between you and me; But me, and me
The personal relation between me and self
Morals and patience once put on the shelf
Characteristics I had once acquired
Is now just another thing I admire
Longing for the trust I once encompassed
Within myself, for my goals to accomplish
I can’t find you, if I’m not me
But without you, I’m not complete
I need to get myself together or find you
So you can bring the cure for what is due
But if you wait until later I can’t place blame
I am the only one to blame for who I’ve became
Either way please meet me soon
Be my sunset, not just another afternoon
I’ll promise you all that’s deserved
I’ll promise you I will conserve
All that I need for you to say
That you will be mine and forever stay
Today is a hollow day.
I am a shallow voice
in a tin cup.

I rattle and clang.

I am five copper pennies
wanting to add up to more
than a nickel.

Brother, can you spare some change?
i'm reading tea leaves again.
this comes along with counting tiles, i suppose.
conversations carried out to their inevitable conclusion
inside my mind always have the worst endings.

when did i become so insecure?

i'm wondering at this point about the wisdom of wearing
hearts on sleeves and all that jazz. it would be
better for my mental health to be more stone-like.

i am a rock, i am a rock, i am a rock.

too late, i realize,
i am rock candy,
and you have me in hot water.
every man for himself--am i a man or a self?
wearing long suspenders and
smoking my tonsils raw
a handful of questionable virtue
and inexpensive self confidence

i am no longer your folk hero,
but rather a jolly youth that hates degenerates
i'll fall out of my chair to keep
my ear to the ground
i must listen for change

yes, and between the mattress, shrieking
and the myterious column of faces
appears the fog in twilight, swallowing
***** tonk doors and vagabonds whole

i am a strange left handed moon man,
i'm high
i have that paralyzing lonesome feeling
i have nothing new to add, that feeling
i am an ambassador without *****,
almost pornographic
i drank one
whole river of bourbon on
this very night

i smoked two
and a half butterflies
and now i can speak in colors

i took three hits off
this cloudy chick
and now i can sing like a sparrow

i snorted four
lines of sunshine
and now i can pull an all-nighter

i freebased five
pearls from the ocean
and now i can smile much brighter

i injected six
fireflies into my arm
this very night

i took seven
dandelions, and mixed them in a bowl
and now i can tell you all
the secrets of my soul

i swallowed eight
droplets of Hoffman's best blend
and now i can tell you
how this world will end

i ****** nine
of nature's best nymphs
on this very night

i infused ten
different sunsets
and now i can tell you the time
Bobby brown came down
And let me have a smoke

Talkin bout the rave scene
I don't want to go

He handed me a monkey
Eat your ****** snack

We walked downtown
To solid ground

To hear the cats meow
Yellow lights flash

In
And out

He threw me for a loop the loop

When he took me underground

But the chemical well-being
Kept me safe and sound

The lights were heaven
The dark was heaven
The lips were heaven
The sound
Like a million *******
Gave you the chillies
Don't wink or kiss the ground

One girl
Two girl
Three girl four

I don't dance

Not in this trance

A corner captain loud

I could see from my perch

In the corner of earth

That the ladies liked the beat

But I'm just a boy

In a room of noise

Looking for some sleep

I met billy the kid

With his nose full of ****

And his mouth leaking neon blue

His girlfriend

Sid had less hair than me

But her smile was sure right on for sure

I could tell in a hurry

That her mind wasn't blurry

Someone I could try talking to

She said

It may twenty third

Flipped me the bird

I was trippin or tripper I think




I loved her white skin

As it flashed in the din

Her black nails like daggers were sound

She pointed the nails

At like five different rooms

Telling me about working parts

There you've got boys who dance to the noise

Like techno party new

You have does over there

Flowers and hair

Rolling hard before midnight dream

Two glasses of water

A tab of the blotter

And I was gone before ten  thirty three

I lost bobby brown

To the tongue of the crowd

The speakers spoke

I have a dream

The crowd all
Cheered

But sound like a herd
Of a thousand white horses
Coming after me
Blue licks
Red licks
Light trips
My heart
I closed my eyes
For a minute of time
Electrons falling apart
I was thirsty and worried
I left in a hurry
Your brain looks like this on drugs

But when I looked at my phone

To see about the time

It's only midnight o clock
