To dance
And sing
In a crowd
That's not
Havin it
To not be
Hushed
By
The
Chill
They
Themselves
Are guilty
Of the same
At some point
They
Remember
The thrill
Then court
The laughs
From
Some
Random
Nutters
If that
Don't work
Pull
Sharp
Down
The shutters.

In the hell
Of the cave
After the road
Runs out
You can't retreat
Or go forward
Then you'll see
Just what you're all about
Where cups
Hold only blood
And knives
Cut only humans
To see what drains
Out of you
And what
You've been
Consuming.

He put up
An art piece sign
In the New York subway
That read
PLEASE DONT SMILE AT STRANGERS
And it barely raised a grin
Most sagely nodded
Then stared down
At their screens again.

Concentrate on business
But focus
On infinity
They were keen on that
They really beat it into me
But the ring
Turned full Left
Leaves your foreground
Smudged and fuzzy
You can't see
Your way clear
To the good times
Always coming.

To wrestle
With
Every note
Turn em over
In your hands
Then pull
The insides out
Perchance
To hear
A different
Sound.

When you pick up a string
Will you follow or pull
Reel in the years
Else walk back and mull
Then again
The best course
Might be
To drop it and run
Toward the horizon
And whatever
May come.

What's the value
Of a diamond
When it's in the ground?
It's not even the worth of the gem
More the chance it might
Be found.
