an unmarked spirit

cumbersome fantasy smoothie

mystic anthem sampling

productivity hax

my brain is scattered in thousands

in the morning of my life

the dying art of being human

wake up and take my mind for a walk

when i’m with you i feel like i’m cheating on myself.

a bouquet of faces

rancid spaniards spreading jesus

i pour salt on my friends to make them last longer

safety square

fire diamond

boutique screensaver screwdriver

to think that even when we turn away the sun doesn’t stop

meandering across our early 20s like chipmunks in pursuit

death and dissemination

each sentence a spell cast

time is the wind at your back

in an alien landscape

where leftie is tighty and righty is loosy

i’ll get around to it

you have a point there

working man’s yellow

and leotard blue

wifi router blinking like embers sunk in an ashy fireplace, the heat the home relies on.  

riding like a bicycle afraid of its wheels

Marshall coils

"Do Not Remove Tag Under Penalty of Law" label

radiators always sound like they’re in pain

i’ll share my hotspot with you

limb whorls, and soil thawing from the bottom up

each year new rocks come up from the ground to the surface

as the frost thaws

rocks from deep down nowhere

making their way up to sun

endlessly

caught dry in the rain shaddow

gooder than it used to be

avaricious simpling

ten ton turbine

time crystals flailing

that moment you look out the window and catch a telephone wire against a sun-bleached wall and for a second it feels like you’re anywhere else other than where you are

the universal placehood of things gathered under sky


orion on fire

coiled dendrites

this mammalian unrest

one mammoth quaker

full bodied years

the least significant bit


Biking like a rogue pod racer


the drawer with the extra soy sauce packets

unwearable focus


hopping on a train of thought thinking it might take you somewhere good

but somehow you always end up back at the station where you got on


Playing chicken with our eyes


you got an innie or an outie?

and from down the block i couldn’t tell if it was a garbage truck or an ambulance


Whackalicious


and perhaps on my deathbed i will come to realize that living wasn’t worth all the trouble.




Seething meerkat.


1 2 skip a few 99 100.


Everything in the city ends up flat if you leave it there long enough.


In the fusty manifold

four orange wings and no body in sight




we swam in the oil spill gushing fluid like otters



i wish ill


Remains

Manufractured splinters


cootie shots
herd cootie immunity


That fruity nothing we call day

That angry biomass we call self



a thousand pounds of success won’t make the crickets any brighter



sunk deep in the quizzical ancient



i fall on

steely corners

shifting



Tennis ball

hits the dash

tennis ball

dangling

from the ceiling of

the garage.


Watching my thoughts like some bad B movie.


bought myself a funeral plot for my birthday


The monastic babble of a crackhouse at dawn.



something to take the edge off my life

something to take my mind of my mind


pushing like Reeboks toward the final light


memory’s vast temple


cup-and-ball


wrap myself in chain lights

and dance


dropped my fig leaf


Songs Without Love


Sunkist flat to the asphalt


People always think we’re related


Pulling water fowl from my head.



Sunscreen sweating into my mouth

Fat Fed ex hogging

Smell of crude oil and samosa



I had a dream I pan fried my hard drive



I broke it trying to fix it


A cereal goodness strikes again


the dropped blueberry

you just can’t find


watching the horror movie of my life unfold

I am a deep diver diving

i go deep deep diving inside my chest

and pull jewelry out of my shipwrecks

I am a spelunker of myself

I squeeze right through the

tightest parts of me

to meet the no eyed lizard beneath

he tells me there’s so much more to see

and scurries where I cannot reach




*album of songs each about one of the decrepit objects in the backyard. Make a video with each and then throw the object away.




Album called “the haves”




i’m full charge

I take life’s lemonade and turn it back into lemons.

And I glue my omelette back into its shells.

“circles surrounded by out-thrown rays of bright ejecta”




above the salt




the man from bog ville




like a broken pocky stick




i left water on the stove and by the time i remembered it was all gone.




My old bony heart




ill curry favor with the next best thing




quiet as the sun rising




The sneeze that no one hears




in liquid night




there’s no shade on a cloudy day.




like trying to turn the lamp on with a wet hand




ferrous slag




sometimes i feel like everyone around me is sad, is everyone around everyone sad?




gather all the trust fund babies you can find

make us do a good thing once and call it kind

my heart was in it i just forgot to pump




everyone older is old

everyone younger is young

protests staged in my mind, demanding new leadership.




cells multiply inside me as i sing this

All we do is argue in my head.There's no use now / there’s no turning back now.It's a rock buried in a homestead.      (i think that’s about mom and dad...^)

For all that I want to, I can't deny that my life is my life.

Crescent life

Somehow I still thought it would end up ok. It didn’t.

Hoisting delusions day in and day out. (how am I supposed to have time for anything else?)

Now even I don't need me.
