Sleepwalking, Eavesdropping- Move on by Keep talking, Eyes moving, Come on in. Still standing, Crash landing, Cannot fly Find something Gone missing, Now and then.
Outside the fires are burning bright
On an afternoon that came too soon, From the settled shade of an Autumn world, Under angry sky or jealous moon uncurled Across the burnt out fields and blackened lands, Among the evergreens and the shifting sands, in the hollow dreams and their rash demands, We come To where the enemy is posing as a…
They've moved out and I'm still here
Another look at empty rooms left waiting I see you leaving and you see me fade away It’s not the distance it’s the gaps we’re making It’s not the distance it’s the lies in the things we say Don’t know if it’s true, you’re better off without. I can see right through, you’re close enough…
The No Epiphanies Bandwagon (humble drums)
The No Epiphanies Bandwagon is grating on the ear And the Lost Articulate Abominables Collection is too far away to hear While the Belated Reasonable retraction anomalies sit further to the rear Hurrumph! The clearing of clogged throats must continue anon. The clanging of humble drums must hit you and run. Keep us in mind,…
Inert Chaos seeks new keywords
Something- Particles and their anti’s locked in existential war Nothing- Boiling emptiness snapping in and out of being Something- From a distance seems the signals beemed alive How does it begin? Ideas, restrained and hamstrung, Tied to the starting blocks, Mindful of false dawns and previous failures Now moving till the motion locks, Force applied…

Strings attached- Every damn thing is hooked up…
Strings attached and knotted Tentacles entangled tied Ropes and rigging assembled Hidden networks bind Simple things no longer live The chains whip out and lock I thought I had much more to give Than take back what I mock Barbed hook baited easy Tiredness taking hold Rest up soft and breezy Caught in mesh and…
Note to self: Note to self! (Life is a form of entertainment)
the instructions are buffered he noted we muttered- we are tourists in our own lives, and passing through with parsing eyes, already out of date. We were best before- We are best before, the instructions are stored, and we are to others, to ourselves. Memory corrupted, The endgame erupted, Without noise or moment, Into it,…
The Smell of Fish
Oily edged liquidy sickness. Cold fingers holding gut, Coiling a knot and not knowing it. Not knowing it, Not knowing anything Instant Education in remission Value multiplied by time Meaning and significance, Laid side by side in brine… Mottos and metaphors melt, Into muck and the melody The smell of fish and cold fingers Peering…
Brump
crunch it up and throw it out where it is when you’re not about driving home and i’m driving on with a head of air in sand Buried there by my own hand Tear it off and burn it down Why it still smokes when you’re not around Smiling face in the darkest place With…
Keep it coming
Trundling a bundle on, Pushing the covered wagon Feet dragging, toes digging into the earth. The sun obscured and hidden Dry throat rasping in the parched air Music retreats in the distance Fumbling the simple things Staying distant and affected Mind sagging, flows right into the worth Recapture the fading flame Burn it bright and…

Live and Learn
Reality crunchin downwards, Spitting shards strike pure. Sudden-stop momentum, Heart now moved for sure. Motion burned in anger, Vented in vacant space. Twisted waiting danger, Resltess smiling face Instinct taking over, Trust suspended low. The self withheld and sober, The self, at speed, to go. No meaning preaching feeling, No mission reaching out. Drums beating…
Dreamin…
An attempt at a traditional ballad. The speaker is wondering how he managed to dream away his life and let love and friendship languish… when he was young he dreamed of the future, then he tried to forget his distracted ways and get on with life. Now, his dreams are plagued by the past and…

Capo 4th fret G Am C D Haven’t you heard? They’re taking pictures of your mind Haven’t you learned? It’s getting far too dark to find Simple and straight, Soft spoken silence leaves it late Stand up and turn Her shadow fading from the world Turn to the sky, Turn upside down and inside out…

Pains for gains.
Pain is a funny thing, Screaming voice to stop Whatever you are doing Now until it leaves Many different types Gangs of mutual enemies Super villan collections For every possible weakness Like everything bar habit Quickly forgotten, State of being Cannot be maintained Oncoming buzz of the physical Heavy dread of coiled anxiety Angry biting…

in from the wild the cold, the child a signal born a signal filed when everything you do or say is recorded, reported, distorted when everything you touch today is broken, mislaid, contorted and everyone you try to turn to turns away from you instead maybe you built it up on your own alone inside…
