I'm always amazed, at the audacity
of politicians, and twisted fools
creating what they think we need
like a bunch of useless tools
Traffic is a problem, just about, everywhere
here in Austin town, here's how they would repair
More bicycle stations, *** is what I said
how will that relieve the stress'
and alleviate, traffic woes within our head?
People move here, at well over 100, every day
they all have cars, that they put on the road
getting in the way
So the perfect solution, that our Council will expound
is put more bikes in proximity
that's how we'll get around
I'll admit, that I don't vote
participate in government
the point seems moot and rote
my monies, always been misspent
If we lived in Europe, where it's been for many years
I wouldn't fear for bicyclists, like I do right here
The logic escapes me, and builds upon my doubts
are they paying for our bicycles, so we can get about?
paying for insurance, when some car hits, and knocks us out?

Keep Austin Weird
local slogan, motto, claim
Musicians, officials, and the Major
each, and all, proclaimed
But in years since it's greatness
the Music Capitol of the World
SXSW, I'm sure, you've heard
with rainbow flags, unfurled
ACL, it's own music stage
greats that come and go
***** Blonde, and Rosanne Cash
within that venue, putting on, a show
As with everything, not normal fare
and with government tangled in
******* it up, beyond compare
it's just another fail political
where no-one really wins

THE VENOM
Like the seconds after a door slams everything seemed written in lower case.
There's too much mining done here lately.
Hated days, sign and date nothing.
Let's at least humor tradition:
You be the beat, I'll be the creature laughing.
You shiver, I'll keep the plan simple.
We are a room without a floor, firefly lit.
We are damage, a tower about to fall from the sky.
If every name needs to be rescued from itself then it is so nice of you, darling, to bring me to my knees.
