Try n’stop the girl with the travelin fingers and wind for hair
cause kid, if you only had the right kinda ears to hear the stories this worn ol’ blue bag could tell you
of memories that smell like locks of smoke
scrapped skin, coffee sting and feeling broke
like the way the back of a neck and fingertips spoke
but I’ve figured out the perfect combination of solution creations to keep in motion forever
Never stop.
you wanna know these stories
cause i got a friend who’ll squeeze yer heart n’squirt lemon juice in yer eye, make you beg more certain disaster then tell ya he’s a myth, that we’re all a myth
and another who’ll pull stars from the sky for a glass o’ red wine a fast ride and midnight dance
one’ll rip the road right out from under your wheels, toss ya into the dusty land with bottle of cheap booze, a tire iron and a pin cushion and tell ya he wants new boots by noon
there’s a giant in tight pants who’ll pierce right through ya, with eyes like super nova, burning holes in yer pockets that you won’t wanna mend
I know a girl with a scientific mind and a wild drunk smile who throws tobacco into fires and prays to the universe
and a bartendin buhda with a bass heart playin with the earth tones and talkin to aliens
you wanna know these stories
the sly cat local shaman, island kings, and river kings, and shoreline dancin queens and karaokie angels livin offa dream smoke and whiskey tickles
singing to an old blue moon,
singing to the jumpin mad twitch under yer skin
drivin on forever
no rest only lust and dust
and you wanna know somethin
I got a queen elizabeth rose with crazy dew eyes in my backyard that hasn’t bloomed in years
well, this year it did
and that aint no dirt lie
you wanna know these stories
with your own eyes!
you wanna see these soul guts
it’ll blow your fuckin mind
right out back yer dull skull
that’s how I go without knowin where the next turn’ll take me
kid, I’ve lived through shit that’d break ya
and I got these stories

Was it so long ago
That we met only to dance awkwardly?
Awkward yes,
But not without grace.
And some time after The Borrowed Match Polka
The coffee stopped flowing.
But the sun never stopped shining.
And I never got to tell you
Or blame you
Or thank you
For the seed of doubt
You planted like a flowering weed
In my garden of false content.

Light Like Medicine
Darlin,
the girls got a firefly heart
and though fever dream
it’s hard to say
weather that light lights for you
Cause there’s mountain ridges
risin high between
your smoky eyes
and a drifters dream
and like she spoke
those speedway days
full of broken bones
and red wine stains
you were just a candle wick
and she a firefly spark
to shed a little warmth and light
upon a path so dark
Now don’t be fooled
and lose you way
in drifters dreams
and fireflies play
cause whose to know
weather or not
your path rides parallel
with hers
or if it's just
another road to cross
to bring you round to
what you really want
Just know this
darling friend
that a fireflies light
it has no end
so any time
you need a spark
on a lonely road
lost in the dark
grab yourself a firefly
and ask the drifter
for a ride
and you’ll soon see
the road beneath your feet
you’ll know weather
to ride on or not
and you’ll know
exactly where to get off
Darlin,
she’s got a firefly heart
one that burns forever
without stop
so now that you’re on
if you really want off
you're gonna have to
learn how to jump

if we are us
Dawn is the time to see flying saucers
But magic in every instant
And walking everywhere
Life abounds on either side
We are the folks who help caterpillars cross the road
There is no name for our reward
Highway people and gypsy band
Who carry with us affections of many colors
Inventing slowly this new culture
Knowing only that now is forward
And there is no need to ask for directions
And some of us speak of rubber balls
And some of us speak of park benches
And some of us speak of cloud to cloud lightning
This is our way of speaking
Sometimes with barroom breath and poetry
Sometimes only with wide eyes
Our family holds many songs in our many satchels
We sing them by firelight and dashboard
We paint on bedroom doors and card board
Dancing new steps with invented rhythms
Howling and clapping and laughing and smelling
What fate has sewn on the breezes that reach us
In moments the great mystery touches us
And he said “truths like that
You have to let those strange hands touch you”

It uses to pull mind tides
It’s long and prolonged
And a blue black pin cushion
Sharp star pins circle slowly
Transfixed and I can feel them moving
But fade and elapse to burst glittering dawn
Still hold the attention of the fawn
Long blinking in wonder
Why is it so hard

Put me down or burn me down, I'll be fine tomorrow
Somewhere in this box is a private revelation
A perfect little spectacle hidden in what we can only hope is an answer
If you track me down, I'm running....Maybe limping
But I'm going places and nothing you can poison me with can hold me back
I'm a full out, all-in, primary example of when crowds attack
And I'm standing up and finally standing still for once
So look at me, family, have one last fucking look
As I stand here now with an old rusty blade to my fore arm
Not for suicide 'cause where's the fun in that?
But to get the last image of my people I've always wanted
Shock and fear, but not for your lives or mine

if we had stayed
Little sister ill-advised but still to follow me into mud
And if we had never found our way from that bog
Perhaps though long dead, still we would laugh
Alarming hikers as a phantom hare and hatter
Our ghosts having their tea parties in the cabbage

Walking in a field
I was walking in the field in my backyard
with my friend Evan.
And if there's anything he knows it's
a shitload about birds.
And he explains only the interesting
things about the birds
Like the mourning dove and how
the sound it makes
is actually coming from its wings,
not its throat.
Or the Grackly whom can make
two different sounds
at the same time.
Who gets all excited before singing
puffing out its wings
and breast spazing uncontrollably.
We talked of Wallace Stevens
his 13 ways to describe
a blackbird
and than we finally decided
that every bird has a poem to it
especially the robin
who jumps around
making it sound
like rain
tricking worms
to the surface only to face
their fate being pulled
from the ground that
keeps them alive.

you complained that
your hair was starting
to get brown
within the blond
but the brown is what
turns yellow
to gold.

The weathers starting to get warm
and my bedroom window is open.
I can hear the cars going back and forth
outside more clearly
and in the mourning, the trucks
from the engine factory next door
wake me up.
The tree outside my window
is starting to get those little flowers
a breeze crosses my room
all day and night
And None of these things may matter to you
or too you or too you or too you
but I'm sure you have your own window
and can feel that same breeze
that i fell and can enjoy it
just as much as I do.

Sweet and shark nights
"I go in bed,
bed goes in room,
girls in room
our girl..."
I needed 70cents to get home
I can pay $2 for the parking garage
but that damn parkway will charge me
70cents to drive
70cents I don't have
"Wanna go shoot some rats"
"You like jazz music baby"
If i had any sense we would
have watched 'sweet and lowdown'
instead of 'jaws' the night before
my first favorite movie instead
of my very close second. My attention
would have been caught completly and
i wouldn't have tried so hard only to fail.
"I think we're gonna need a bigger bed"

Another Creepy Point for the Creepy List
I was sitting on a bench
outside a supermarket.
Nice day out.
A mom and two kids
walked into the pizza parlor
next door and the daughter
gave me such a smile
that its starting to make
this poem really creepy
to think that i would even
notice something like that.

What Did Monroe Really Think
You had one of those posters of Marilyn Monroe
on your wall, not the one over a grate the wind blowing
up her skirt, the ends of her dress distracting us
from the look of pleasure on her face.
But one where she's lying down on a silk bed,
a little skin showing, eyes half shut, a slight smile
creeping up her lips, a look of complete satisfaction
of things happened or things to come.

waiting for it all to come crumbling down
the rapid fire earth-shake-dance
the shape of plume of
dawn colored city exhale
and how it obscures the big colapse
(from a point almost flying)
brings it's own little nuclear winter
home, as the ocean reacts
those eyes are all scavangers
and now it's a clear shot
to the far off horizon
wonder where those ghosts
gonna haunt now

wanna see the future
but it makes no cents
or at least
I got no cents
for that flashing plastic
crystal ball and quarter fortune
on holy ground -
the technilogical marvel of
a transistor trick
with all the worlds
secrets
locked up, all yours,
visions and the goddamned
taste of time

you're beautiful
reflecting moonlight
smoldering like greek fire
bright like fusion
shimmering at all points
sipping sorrowful wine
you whisper about
evaporating pools
the color of the same moonlight
and you,
you're shining
that's how I see you
and your magic forms

leaving one hell of a winter in anticipation of another, singing with overheating engines in-between
I think we’re all
having
a little trouble
breathing
and this
season
blooming into may
flowers again
finding in
spring
cool breeze
flings
whether fallin
out
of or
in love
again
and living hard
learning to
relive
waking the dead
and working towards
a life
to
live again
uprooting
and thoughts
likewise
confusing
always moving
in-between heads
and beds
dreaming
of
still
sleeping
in again
where crazy rain
frozen
still with
ties to
winters pain
chill
throats
sore
from screaming over
bar roar
and smoking
outdoors
with the cold
again
just do
remember friend
that all
that
wet cement
dries
so quick
if
you step
strong enough
to imprint
on the rest of
us one
footprint
outa dust
can last forever
and again
so newborn
learn to
live strong
and
walk on
walk on again
and bloom friends
bloom
