Spending my time applying for hire, desire to live to desire to buy Staying alive to thrive and I am arriving on time, flashing a smile It's what I can do to emerge something refined, stick to the grind, the civic mind I was born from the warmth of everything wearing only a body that is beating As light shines on the crowd of everyone, a sense of...Learn More

In the shadow of a Saturday Early morning Did I even sleep at all? I didn't mean to wake you, I was noisy, I apologize In the echo of an argument Feeling empty Why are we doing this at all?

Pregnant with privilege like a pigeon Before the accident that killed him There is blood all over me I'll lay him down with my sorrows And dig a hole with my car key A shallow grave for my friend and me Poised and hollow like a violin In an orchestra of failures There are appendages all over me Waving from the balcony Descending now like a human...Learn More

Why should I try to believe what I read? It's the gender agenda It's the human desire To feel like we're being cuckolded I feel like I'm being cuckolded Why should I lie to my friends when I'm real? Well, they always say just how I should feel It's just what the television told them It's just what the television told them Hide all your money in...Learn More

Cones and stones in the road ornament new construction zones Can I see the sky for the high-rise across the street? Among condominiums, there are machines Driving steel pilings in the land on Delancey Nascent tones from the ground trembling underneath the wood My good as it were quietly drifting neighborhood I'm from the development there by the...Learn More

Pastels in the waiting room spin like a washing machine I hear Placid and resonant, a distant voice calls to me Fluorescent Lights vibrate the corridor and I can see everything But I'd passed Out prostrate and hemorrhaging unconsciously on the floor Fluorescent Lights vibrate the corridor and I can see everything But I'd passed Out prostrate and...Learn More

I've been working on the weekend I'm trying to feel some kind of feeling Trying to find some kind of meaning I'm building a house to work it out in I've been buried in the basement I'm digging for a place beneath the pavement Waiting for when we can all get wasted Inside the house, imagine it Living indoors, I'm spilling out on the...Learn More

My friends, my family People I haven't met Are heads and hairdos in silhouette We are shaking our shoulders and our hips We move our lips in time In a verse, in a rhyme I'll sing for you a melody Will you sing it back to me In a song? Echoes through people And carries on But what could live as long as dirt As a song? After all is said and...Learn More

There is a woman in the window She is looking out at me I was walking through a courtyard Now I'm standing in the street She is crawling on a table I am watching eagerly She is taking off her T-shirt She has nothing underneath She is stripping in the silence She is pressed against the glass I am watching from the asphalt I have fallen to my...Learn More

I am living inside a hole With an animal, animal And if I can, I will try to keep her alive In a domestic home In her eyes, I see what it is to be inside In her eyes, I see what it is to be Ah She is sleeping most of the time Except for when she's not, then she's not And we are playing a game, making a mess Of our domestic lives If we weren't in...Learn More
