See the wind on the meanest grease all they see
Panorama of gospel preachers and ***
Anaconda will get me here, but that’s what I want
Get the red cross blood drive to fill your cup

Stretching on the line
Cannot find anything kind
Anything you find
Will be so blind

Animosity
Seek me in a dream
Sift through golden pans
Candle land

Shooting corner through
Spitting monsters right through you
With a fire too
New excuse
Trout Feb 2020
Ring time will see through you
Going to be a brand new moon
Lift off your shirt and battle reigns
Amity praise of seen-through maze

Smile at the phone inside your heart
I cannot see, it is so dark
Let me see the screen closer, will you?
Its living breathing electric sparks

Slow motion rain outside the tomb
Where robin sits, it can’t be true
Lift me above, I’m begging you
Your life is dark and sad it’s true

Ending a picture of a nail
Now that I’ve seen it, I can’t step
And in the moment when I’m there
I will avoid it just as fair

The ink’ed blots and the candle shots are all groaning in the shadow
The pine blue jeans and the massive scenes are croaking like an animal
I can’t find a way to release myself from the cutting of a lamb’s elbow
The bootstraps will come when you cannot find anything else outside, no
I am here today to enjoy my prayer even when you’re living tomorrow
When sister burned me, it didn't hurt me, it cast me to the fire's hope
The chance she's my mother is not so strong, in fact I think she's a running joke

You didn’t even notice
It was gone that whole moment
The class is screaming loudly
They all just love carousing
I am a quiet baby
I sit here like a lady
I’ll clap when they all want me
But then again, it’s my need

Is this the real motion?
Chairs already hit spokes and
Banged me right on my forehead
I felt it for several oceans
Trout Jan 2020
Don’t bring me into this please
This feels like such a movie
Am I going to die here?
Oh what a clever plot point

And I can’t stand being alone
When it’s time to have someone loved
Lessen the pain until it’s a drop in the bucket
I can’t see you anymore.

Bliss is such an aberration
Psychology, I’ll find this way should
Be something I can’t undo in me.

Leave me now again and again
Rich snobs are the best vacation
Never know if you’re seeing that siren

Ringing bells are all droning
Go to the church so it can be all drowned out
This is an abomination
A little monster inside of your heart

“I feel like you could see me if I disappeared”
I just like to pretend that I do
By searching for old words of love
And imagining that they’re new.
Jandek - I Knew You Would Leave
Trout Oct 2019
As a rich kid sentimental crucify
I go out lurking in the black of night
To see the moon and copy down the phase I lie
And forget it
It’s all lurid sky

My face is blurry till the scope reminds the world
It’s a jungle and you go home to bed
Insane men know, never understand
And achieve light like the bandit who stole
The girl that ran away with someone else
Trout Oct 2019
What disguise?
Is it time to run around or could I just be a frown
No denying
Is contours and smiles
The shells on the avalanche, they’re such a fanciful spot
Should I be the cancerous one who links all insidious lots?
Monday
I’ll die
To die severs all living ends and counting files
And a winter cannot bite or see the light
Into its glowing sight
Oh, who will die

Too summery inside my shy
Two angry little flies
Two gambling anchors that live on and die
Can you recognize the meticulous, the move
Can you go
To the man who lives in the snow
And says who will die
