Vacant
A metronome beats hollow time.
Hollow time, high time… I was on my way. Until everything went a little pale and flipped.
And now my funds run low and I sit lazy and restless.
But I have always been …
Vacant
A metronome beats hollow time.
Hollow time, high time… I was on my way. Until everything went a little pale and flipped.
And now my funds run low and I sit lazy and restless.
But I have always been …
And there it goes now again,
Trinkets and snippets,
Whipped up in a windless whippet,
Caught and carried through dreamless air
To a foreign lair.
And here I hold you tight again,
As if today’s embrace could shorten
Tomorrow’s distance …
It has been a while. Since last me met. I passed you in the stairwell. You remember how it went?
It’s been a while. Since I found out. The feelings faded finally. But dreams release their pain on me.
It’s …
Here, now, whatever.
Hard to say if it’s for today or for forever,
What would we know either way?
some day, another,
some day, brother.
Fear now,
Strips and strands.
Plays on his words,
Forgets his hands.
He’s a failure …
Work to rule,
A simple fool.
Something crude-
Far too rude.
Sky blue,
Future tell.
Sky blue,
Hope you are well.
Time strapped,
Brain mapped.
Predicted states,
Expensive rates.
Sky blue,
What can I say?
Sky blue,
Some other way…
still, others othered often bothered…
the key to inner pieces
the one who follows to pick them up
same thoughts in different brains, different times
change afoot and up to no good
splices in all sizes
torn apart asunder…
Dredge…
Shred first, taste later
The hard-won destruction fakes its toll
Ledge…
Bled first, healthy again,
The softer climates rust the weakly postured
The milk slips over the edge of the bowl
Bits and bobs sieze up and collapse
Litter …
it’s all consuming, rest assured
Out the other side for sure
We are beating all around the bush
Breaking bottles in a rush
Nearly ready to be fooled,
Prepare and sharpen your sharpest tools
Almost time to draw the line…
Feck it! We’ll throw the empty books on the fire,
And feck them! While they burn we’ll be warm.
But it won’t be long before the flames dip down,
And we lose all sight of shape and form.
And in …
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 …
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,…
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 …
Capo 4th fret

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 …
