I'm cleaning out my 2010 closet- these are all remnants found at the bottom of it- Im calling the lot of them: Afternoon Eggs
AFTERNOON EGGS
Going back to landlines
Scattered thoughts two cents lost
The drain is clogged
Splitting logs
For the fire inside
We hide in our little spaces
And make family outta strangers
Growing closer with the cold
Cracking jokes just to keep warm
I remember what the seasons lost
When you move from coast to coast
It took three to fill the shoes left behind from loving you
Little birds with hollow bones
The way they fall and sore
As if they're one
Someone said you must pay
For the tounge you trip over
And the words you don't say
Drunk and in your truck
Blownout eardrumbs
Didgits numb
The wrong kinda bumps
Hood rat stuff
I'll talk to a cigarette any day
Probably till they talk me to death
Hey there little robin
Pickin through the corn
The day is commin
Soon now
Wild little one
We're all going deaf
And we trip on our tounges
Found the holy ghost
Lurking throughout
the walls of Madrone
Caution now
Don't get caught
I like finding
your broken guitar strings
On the floor of my room
By stepping on them
Even when they sting
Don't irritate the dinosaurs
We are next generation acid causualties
Over sencitive cry babies
Viens collapsing
Music freaks
Down some San franciscan street rambles a rittilin kid, an entertainment writter who's lost his goddamn mind....
There's a special relationship between the toast and the egg
It's a nice night in the city of your heart
Destiny calls from the mensroom stall
"buy her a drink on me!"
As they humbly fumble through a gold cane Monday
New friends and pool sharks
Dropping quarters in the juke box
Getting caught w/ bathroom bumps
Walkin home way too drunk
Losing all of Tuesdays charm
Some things you just do.
Why do you make me feel so good
Read the words over and over
Make sence of something
And something from nothing
Take off your clothes and fall into bed
Tried to find a home in people
Tired and tired and tired of sleeping
It is weird out there
One silver leg warmer had fallen down to her ankle
She had no idea how good it looked
How do you jump in heart first?
