HUSH HUSH
WELL
I DRIVE JUST LIKE YOU DO
MY BRAIN’S LIKE FRUIT STRIPE GUM
I GOT ME A SHEET OF ACID
I WANNA GO, YOU WANNA COME
CIGGY BREAKS AT THE DANTE CONFERENCE
NOBODY WANTS TO FUCK YOU UP
SORRY LITTLE GLANCES ASKING
MAYBE LATER YOU WANT TO HOOK UP
NAHH
PENNYFISH AT THE POLISH FAIR
THE SHOW OF THE WORLD
& THE LIGHT IN YOUR HAIR
KEEP IT REAL W/ ROOM TO FEEL
HUSH HUSH NOW NOW

KEEP IT REAL W/ ROOM TO FEEL
HUSH HUSH NOW NOW

RUN THE NUMBERS
i sip the reaches of the rain
throwing roses at your name
one more day turned silent night
‘til i flicker in the liquorlight
flicker in the liquorlight
i bet you BLTs for lunch
pulling poses over punch
ginny joules abloom in every pour
and copper stops the opera
copper stops the opera
so add me to the drawer
y’know, the one by the door
o Little Bohemia,
what are you dreaming of?
i wish wish wish i had a clue
instead of penning platinum alibis in blue
may the future hit the spot
awe, posterity and plot
you’ll be dancing in your socks
in a spotlight picking locks
in a spotlight picking locks
o Little Bohemia,
what does it mean to ya,
when one by one the shops
turn into scenery and props?

Here Then

Here, Then
here then, i must meet you
just before the joy & gentle scold of
overdubs takes hold
in a wound, where bills balloon
and chateau shadows clot
where we slowly slide from
jot to dot dot dot
does anyone know how come
one thing leads to another one?
day drinking in a discount chapel
oh, is that what you call looking in my eyes?
i bow my head & wane, you sing "echoes in the rain"
never have i ever heartsick hunger
here then, call me tell me once
wherefore the words will not uncross
untroubled by the loss
you be brave, i wait for little wave
to lace our hands and hum--
does anyone know how come?
one thing leads to another one.
love looks back wearing a crayon halo
sorry i can’t say so any plainer
i dislocate the candlelight
feed my memory dynamite
& night falls like an ax into Nebraska
strangers on this road me and you
we are not one we are two
strangers on this road me and you
we are not one we are two

MONUMENT DR.
it’s never forever
but you’re running behind
the statue’s laughing at you
with eternity in mind
party in a rental
on Monument Drive
double-park a spark
inside a Saturday night
the room’s abuzz
with infinite gist
carcinogenic cola
with a lemon assist
&
suddenly yu
veer so near
imposter momentum
bend an ear toward the street
lockjaw economics
will our eyes ever meet
dodging all the merchants
of bohemian grit
we chaperone diplomas
through the church of omit
the door’s ajar
i’m spelling the wind
you smile when i exit
follow fast and begin:
“all street lights propose
shadows, i suppose. who knows?”
god, i’d wish you’d say
i would like to stay
but you don’t
& you won’t

APRIL THE ONE
kissing a gun on april the one
like it’s a bit but it ain’t no fun
jobless in my leather boots
sickness is my wooden suit
underthink my overtalk
rainfall, pink like easter chalk
sunset, thunder, hollywood
god is such a neighborhood
you are you are you are
you are the light, so far away
you are you are you are
you are the light, becoming the day
yardwork charm and picnic ink
sweet mount vernon doublethink
homemade gospel, pocketknife
i’ve outgrown every afterlife, it’s true
bedtime! karaoke prayer
a touch of now, a kiss of hair
you got no need for magazines
and now and now and now i know
what almost means
you are you are you are
you are the light, so far away
you are you are you are
you are the light, becoming the day
becoming the day
becoming the day

BALTIMORE
well well well, if it isn’t the only loser
smoking oxytocin on the roof of a cruiser
trying to turn a feeling into fact
ya wind up so silver and exact
selling all the pain you can’t subtract
every morning is a monday morning
every night is a friday night
a student of the time between
you wanna know what other people mean
ten tears is all you see
well bring those metric tears to me
one for every month when we were we
welcome to baltimore x2
nothing much
to do but pore
over such and
not much more
well well well,
don’t the darknesses harden
around the ashtray
on the stairs in the garden
better to wonder while you can

DUB MOURNING
do you muzzle the moon
i puzzle for you? my
summerdumb angel,
pawning a Nobel blue?
or drag slowly
a mock eureka
into the sea?
and the wind will test
the Rorschach debris
i’m not a bells and whistles man
i am as loud as a tree
we laugh off
we live down
we dream away
we love singing beyond,
between, despite
or so we like to say
what’s a shadow to a lemon?
what’s a curfew to a lime?
from first to last & long before
the show and tell of time
you can see me
from your rosebud nightgown
your dazzling mind &
a tv in the background
to find ourselves
so blatantly viewed
like season finales
of historical mood

BREAKFAST ANYTIME
northbound on Allen
the suburbs are asleep
strip malls, street lights,
offices for lease
plane and sane and simple
riding shotgun with my boy
and with a homemade haircut
i said “man, my life is like a toy”
and it’s a fifteen minute
turned into twenty-five
first we hit a train
moving chassis after dark
u-turn at Woodhaven Lanes
where the cops never park
cut across to Jefferson
mayflies in the shore
baffled by the moonlight
i’m afraid they can’t ignore
and it’s a fifteen minute
turned into twenty-five
parking lot neon
table or a booth
two hot coffees
taking turns at the tooth
while a lady in pajamas
selling roses all alone
is more or less ignored
but weren’t you saying
you were grown?
and it’s a fifteen minute
turned into twenty-five
it’s a fifteen minute drive
to breakfast anytime

THANKSGIVING
what threads my mind through arson smoke
through tournaments of knock knock jokes
through working life and nodding slow
through private kinks and public flow
through copper fawns in Sterling Heights
through menu screens on silent nights
through spinster jazz and pinko cliques
through bibleheaded culture kitsch?
your borrowed pain and sophomore style
your patron saint of one more mile
your marquee mood and bogus lurch
your stainless hope and theory church
your bootleg milk and tender bust
your goo goo ga ga dada dust
what threads my head through applesauce
could deadname yahweh's albatross
could bite my speech like uncut lime
and still give thanks ahead of time

LAST LIGHT
animal justice, the crash of the real
i used to be buck and now i'm veal
i push my breath, i pull your leg
bowling ball?
that's a scarecrow egg
when i'm feeling small, i feel it all
so turn off the jewelry &
stand in the hall with me
this is my country, not my empire
& i'm not your father
& i'm not your umpire
intro minus outro
remainder sustained
supermarket harmony
let's buy a box of rain
scarecrow funeral:
time sure flies
i can see it in your eyes
so, i'm digging a hole
how far down
does america go?
english is my
second tongue
