another world
02:34
|

wandering the hills at the break of dawn
i contemplate why i've been up so long
i wonder what's keeping my feet on this lawn
and i walk
my bike
back home
red blood
red dress
read a book this week
and i walk
my bike
back home
red blood
red dress
red exterior
intermittent visions of catching a dream
extracting its essence
do you know what i'm seeing?
a sudden realization of becoming a being
and interplanet janet was a galaxy girl
while i'm stuck in the sticky orbit
of another world
revolving at the rate of a tilt-a-whirl
and i walk
my bike
back home
red blood
red dress
read a book this week
i collect
the stars
that glow
red blood
red dress
red exterior.

comet vomit
02:12
|
|||
abominable masses
i move like molasses
i kiss like thumbtacks
and my sweat becomes the dew in the grass
i become one with
the taste of my stomach
the light from your comet
illuminates the vomit on my shoes
i'm reminded.
stuck and uninvited
i become the mud on your shoes
the light from your comet
illuminates the vomit on my shoes.

the days are just days
03:18
|

the days are just days
they erode like soil or brains
and everything is happening
but i can't feel the change.
the body's a cage
that disconnects from the brain
and everything is changing
but i can't pinpoint the way
it moves
like
a stationary bike
a frozen turnpike
the sky pierces my kite.
the concrete expands and contracts
it cracks like the bones in my back
i can't tell the notes which i lack
you're hitting potholes
in an all black sedan.
you speak the anxious word
and the grass crawls up my skirt.
i fall into the absurd
and the grass crawls up my skirt.

swim myself
02:10
|

i can swim myself
i can loosen up
i can taste the essence
i can cough it up
i can ride this bike
i can look like this
i can light it myself
cuz i can taste the difference
i fall into a pool
from the highest shelf
i got no water wings
i can swim myself
i've got a bone to pick
this lack of mental health
i can taste the difference
i lit it myself
the dream is the truth
i put it to use.
i can swim myself
i can loosen up
i can taste the essence
i can cough it up
i can ride this bike
i can look like this
i can light it myself
cuz i can taste
the difference.

colt 45
01:44
|
|||
i, young geometer
swallow thermometer
internalize temperature
unclothing an emperor
nice without meaning it
suckle thin peppermint
life and avoiding it
my sexual disorientation.
so i, like an astronaut
discovering parking lots
spit up dry apricot
i can't tell which earth we're on.
i fall right into it
a trap of my own making
i talked to god
and their breath smells like
colt 45.

the cut
01:32
|
|||
clothed in the same arguments
naked in their motives
wear them like bandages
i closed the cut, the cut still bled.
words and their meaningless
centuries of sentences
i spoke the word
now it orbits the space in my head.

dark wonder
04:10
|
|||
cut grass and pond water
i dive into the dark wonder
break the surface of the green cover
i plunge into the swampy summer
and i count the crumbs
i measure a mess
like a thick film it floats
it's immeasurably dense
i count the koi fish
i count the stones i throw
i count my words
cuz i speak them slow
cut grass and pond water
i dive into the dark wonder
break the surface of the green cover
i plunge into the swampy summer
and i still sleep on the phone
with trouble finding my feet
on the way home
do you
still sleep on the floor?
i heard that it works
i heard it don't anymore.

the difference
02:30
|
|||
i can't tell the difference
between you and the words you say
just like you can't tell the difference
between what is and is not okay
and i wait for you to notice
and i wait for you to know
and i can tell the difference
between the moon and the light of day
just like i can see the disconnect
between the things you think and what you say
and i can't tell the difference
between my floor and the ground outside
just like i can't tell the difference
between what feels real and what's contrived
and i wait for me to notice
and i wait for me to know
but it takes too long to show
you
