this cat wants out
fly ointment
chasing in clouds
run and track small beetles
feathers fixing
lurid corpse on offer
ok recliner
spin and cook another day
leap through verdant port
sly feline retort
poised for the pounce
high above us
wish they could laugh
where did they go?
vet appointment
time to sleep long
this cat wants out
fly ointment
chasing in clouds

Zeus
05:26

|

here comes old Z
questioning me
hey Zeus did you
bolt this time?
yo Zeus will you
walk with us?
where do you go?
what do you know?
what can you show?
where do you go?
hey Zeus - are you gonna
hide in the tree?
crazy boy - are you gonna
stay out until the daylight?
hey Z - let me think now
cuz I don’t know what you’re drinking
(uh yeah sure)
try to find a view
again - you
scratch into the sky
we really like your smell
would you ever tell us
if you cared if you care?
I know you go through hell
we saw your furry friend down
by the squash over round there
they all know you like a cousin
over on Kentucky road
and St. Clair
through the wind I hear you jingle
can you come and make me laugh
about so and so?
did you change your form?
are you brewing up a storm?
did you find your way through?
you have to move kind of slow kind of moving deliberate now
you’ve got to feel that you know that the stealth works in your favor
and now today the city stops
in its tracks indivisible
we’re hiding out by the stone by the things you left behind
Zeus do you know I have to drive
to the east like a mountain man?

shadows
on the grass watching
alive again
we're listening
the indigo
zone swallows night into
morning
climbing
bark and stair
sunlight peak
drink to the dark
a cascade pool
we're all alone
with everyone until
sundown
let go let's go
up for light patterns in my
my skull
you know you'd know
no fear of the sting
evergreen and sky
head over town and coming down again
remember

Nocturne
03:43

|

let them go
it’s a blue time
now over the tree
but I’ll be there for you tonight
it’s alright here
drift in-to the space
changing all the
same place another face
animal connect invisible
go
enter shifting skies
liquid eye
we can heal it
but I can’t feel this
let us go
it’s a new time
dew lining the grass
I’ll be there again tonight
a long flight
one pulsing light to call you over
two targets uncertain
three glowing creatures in caressing breeze
one two three
hold with me
go
sparkling drink
try not to think
it’s OK, it’s our way
can you feel this time?

Greener Grass

look out head fake
fascist bastard complex
we know their days are numbered
don’t give up on me
take some breaths and reload
hey, the sky is looking rather angry
I am too but
look, the birds are circling my head and
locomotion
hear the falling leaves and hidden thunder
blunder over in cold misty hues
panic attack - nothing
secret tableau - nothing
energy suck - empty
had to let go
static attack - nothing
secret tableau - nothing
energy suck - all things
gotta let go
maybe you hear - something
slip in my back - one thing
why don’t you go - hunting
for dead lingual cues
green dream stay with no loathing
lose fright myth come new scenery
look out head fake
that’s their story now
panic attack
secret tableau
look at the cats, they will
leap through garden grass

Maze
03:13
|
|

I know I - I know I need to stop clocking your door
it’s just a way to pass time
you say you - you said you don’t need to hear any more
we haven’t discussed it at all
one statement, no erasing
wanted to chase it, so much time
she didn’t care that we went into the maze
no time no (rhyme) - they’ll laugh cuz we found a new way to the floor
it’s not too late to stand up
come back come back – back to change, I don’t know what it was for
I know I need to be here
one flagrant mistake meant
there was another line to pass
we wouldn’t know if we were out of the maze

All Ears

head into the sunshine
if you really want to go there
it’s alright with me
they were plotting some solution
on the rising sea
a friend there, a smile to spare
a party, won’t you watch me think
standing on the train
we gathered up our old crew
we can sleep in on the boardwalk
peaking by the bay
nothing’s every really finished
drown it every day
welcome to class year twenty
I think we’ll pass for forty
I’ll see
waiting in the hall
I’ll see, and you looked through me
and I’m tearing apart
and stopping and starting
soaking up points of view
and tunneling through
and I have to explain it
study and fold
and I’ll never perfect it now
we can wake up for dinner
I guess we’re all the winner
holding in the rain
and we’re running away
and there’s nothing to say
thought connecting with you
was the right thing to do
and I can’t protect it
from terrible times
try to accept it now

Someone Else
04:04

three four five
still alive
treading water
we couldn’t bother
finding another place to go
look for some kinds of things to grow
I dip my head in water
cleaning slate for other
thoughts of connecting to
if I could be someone else
we might spend some days this way
waiting for something else to say
treading water
I’ll get out of my way
we’ll get out of the way
let’s get out of the way

Never Always
05:24

flying solo(w) this morn
the solidarity of feeling is torn
I’ll be patient when you implode
doesn’t matter if I don’t agree
kick back let the air clean us up
never will go back into that world
I salute my friends atop the wall
hang on a sec I’ve got a call
don’t think it’s really true
that you thought it through
run in circles like you said we would do
sit in car and drive and drive
around the empty streets
feel alright wait it out wait
promise to hear you out this time
you’ll never wait back of my line
we walked right through without a sound
I won’t kill myself when I’m down
I won’t run away when you look –
let’s go

Here on the Ground
05:54

another day to fill the headspace
you shuffle a bit, refuse to sit
you want to try to make a late show
the pleasure is mine, neon is fine
you ever stop inside the old house?
face down no bet, it make you sweat
it doesn’t matter if you’re gloomy
we welcome you to sit one out
in the fixed America
time isn’t everything
isn’t everyone
passing through my window
wasted human fence
if you find another view
just let them know
you crack a smirk around the chainmail
hasty foot, what a load off me
we wouldn’t joke about a coal train
lighting up the upper margin
she feeling bolstered by the turnout
the spicy grub at the bustling hub
it never tells you when it’s over
and they welcome us to turn away
from the fixed transnational doom

The Bus
05:04
|
|

heard a story last year
two cats found space inside our tree
one hundred years of standing
isolation in the group
but the roots are all connected
try this try that try
away from home away from
disconnected rats salvage scraps
of ideals and ideas
then came you and the question
running free from the fear of the fall
make a statement now
grow our power how to
be a continual process
never doubt we’ll escape this mess
high to trip the bus
nothing can be said to destroy us
when we see the delusion
sort our petty gripes and confusion
every day a way
not me us today
live in the present shining
drop the tired insufferable cool
how to trip the bus
nothing can be said to destroy us
now I’m flying
and now we’re flying again
as under and below
cool air makes my acquaintance
now I’m flying
now we’re flying again
as above so below
thanks for the cookies my friend
