about

a meeting is arranged in loose time

lyrics

Flat order of marching unstable
a piece of wood rolling in the Tennessee River
over and over
a century or so until
a matchstick or a toothpick
it finds itself at play
unsure the size of the day
meanwhile
a series of serious eyes sleep and wake
some die
shrinking in shrink wrap
an unawareness of polka dots the morning after
stability relentlessly trembles
a migraine behind dark glasses
black coffee with molasses
shivering without evidence on the edge of generally
any stirrup hanging off the song of trains I mean sport
–Amateur… diesel–
fossil fuel horses parasite houses
people even ornamental plants
a kind of big money symbiosis between the insect and the sun
automatic watering system
scientifically determined inaccurate
but the green light shone down anyway in
all the great languages, inferred indo-european,
biblical measurements, lengths and widths, spans
assembled just out of reach,
blessed impossibility
Oh!
stretch out feel good
get used to it
And just ignore me
and my impish ways
my impertinent imperious
swingin’, voluntary death
which has already occurred in such a splendid way
on the squeakin’ playground swings
oh without a shadow of a doubt
none can escape the dreamways of the adolescent giraffe
in his skyscraper stable what a joy
so hard to build so easily destroyed
when you simply decide to frown
on the angels who brought you here
upon landing after you were carried so far
more or less sleeping the whole time
in their gentle sock hop rock and roll
forgetting the way home
when ⅔ of a rock fell on your brains and made you sing
so here you go time for a meet up
time for a rendez-vous
which has already occurred in such a splendid way
make me whole again
make me whole again
make me whole again
make me whole again
make me whole again
make me whole again
