all and nothing

about

everything and nothing hold hands in a creepy circus environment, stressed and sweaty, frantic, helpless yet finding rest in submission

lyrics

All or nothing a scrawl
a diagonal diamond dying of dilation
getting too wide spreading too thin
leapt out of an eye
like a hot tear on a tear
and a terrain of lament becomes
a meadow of mint sent
the sorrows of the land airborne
the nose homes in as the light dies
the scarecrows climb down from their poles
look for sickles and scythes in the tool sheds

Elsewhere…
a whale surfaces in the moonlight
a clown with a telescope observes
the dark surface his make-up black and white
in the starlight


You know they aren’t real but do you?
You know they aren’t real but are you?
sure, when they called your name
you took a step back to look again
you took it all in and with a yawn
you moved on
allergy tears in the eyes
Was that the old world or was it already new by then?
Was it I who stuffed the clothes? you asked
who painted the faces
who hammered down the poles
from a distance he is watching you
the sky full of shiftless clouds
fears that wobble in the wind
the wind picks up
every which a-way, Always no ways
you take a stick you drag it through the sand
no don’t ask it’s it’s it’s it’s
it’s no one it's no face it's no on
it’s nothing and all
