Some Damn Thing

I like to make things that hold your attention for awhile
Turbulent romanticism wears like a little black dress in a hurricane
A sense of absurdity, improvised and genuine 
That surrealistic pose confronting the vicissitudes of some damn thing
Frenetic breathing of passion and caprice
Multiple possibilities for self-differentiation

Beat

My mind is a pocketful of loose change
Dirt in the fuel line, cabbage growing in my ears
What is freedom and to whom does it belong?
I don’t trust my skills wrangling unrelated stimuli,
Emancipating myself from the flypaper of bogus philosophies
Yet at the gas station of love I get the self-service pump

In & Out

Garbage in, garbage out - Common knowledge
If you push something hard enough, it will fall over — Fudd's First Law of Opposition 
It’s like having bees live in your head
So many variables creating a chaotic, indecipherable mess
Sometimes I amaze myself, and other times I can’t remember what day it is
In a cow pasture watch where you step.

Counterclockwise

Investigation of the utterly inscrutable 
Her arms were full of sapphires of the moment
Aren’t reasons what we manufacture?
Creativity is the greatest rebellion in existence
You see, thoughts create the illusion that you’re in the driver’s seat
From dreams emerge the intimacies of our being

Appearing Now

Different orders of reality disturb dreams
Spirit animals take hallucinatory form
They needle and taunt like ancestral phantoms
I deny ownership
Too monstrous, this mood of misplaced energy
Karmic theatre of a mislead self

The Greater Whole

Feeding on disturbance, wasting chance and serendipity
Blinding the display of  elemental energy moments
All that’s beloved passes away
Memories decay, afterimages survive
Its sacred strength is rendered weightless
A paradox that defies gravity

Told You So

So you emancipate the story
Hawking apocryphal tales
All that you fear you desire to sanitize
It gets you talking to yourself
Remember when you used to dance?
Singing mystical lullabies in your sleep

Dead Flowers

Carried on the wings of hope
Beyond the stars where there is no more sadness
Beyond the weird border between world and self 
To the places they have not told you of
While sadness is a signpost reminder of being human
Things get bad and test who we are

Wishing and Hoping

I introduced you to Manhattans
You said you introduced me to your soul
The world is not literal enough to take the cake
I see durable intimacies in your promise
Praying the sunshine won’t go away
Can you tell the difference between the sensation of life and life itself?

Chances Are

You believe the stars that fill the skies are in my eyes
Hazy possibilities without purpose
Things have their time, then fall apart
Beholding to someone is a debt that never gets paid
Still waiting for a friend who no longer is
No one stays in love by chance
