Step into Circus Playhouse Need tokens for the machine In the back pocket Velcro trapped cash To fuel my Atari 400 dream The blink of an eye, ai on a photograph Change the context of the context I'm old In a world of bitcoin, I'm a two-dollar bill Spend me before I lose my cents I'm old Two hand touch on the side of the house Or stickball in the cul-de-sac Waiting for that school bus sound That sa...

A precipice is plentiful for her to make a home that breathes A harsh place to live but where isn’t in these days Securely known in the balance of things Almost unseen and forgotten in the din Tiny in this chaos Just a sparrow Or so you think Just a sparrow Or so you think The flight is much more than freedom Seeing this devoid of activity Let the wind carry through pollution and disease To sights...

Tuck far away, you can be anyone in the world Someone that will bring energy to a room But slowly the urge returns And the story runs red I'm on the run when bodies are found in a small town called Section I'm on the run when bodies are found in a small town called Section The cards will always come up lacking To double down is dangerous play But surely the urge will return And the story run red I...

Spotless eighty-thousand-dollar ride Hauling absolutely nothing except stickers Weakened cowboy on a horse of flaws Keeping the chaps from being assless By providing them a surplus Keeping the stereotype in the fullest bloom I've seen the way you move along the road As if you own it, looking for a fight Weakened cowboy on a horse of flaws Keeping the chaps from being assless By providing them a su...

No need to frown Everyone is home Sunday is filled with men Stroking balls Being among Living betwixt You in my life is good Lament's Lament is only that we can't meld and merge No Covid here Only men with brawn Playing tee or fiddling Or fiddling and tee What a lovely task Being among Living betwixt You in my life is good Lament's Lament is only that we can't meld and merge Guests have come And g...

In the weekend I’m bold So much more of who I am A heightened man We ride for Thursday Just have to survive these empty days Goodbye until Thursday In the end we’ll make it all our own If I’m finished in their eyes We can storm right through the night Take the weekdays for a spin And then cut out Why wait for Friday We ride for Thursday Just have to survive these empty days Goodbye until Thursday...

Always in the mix That’s the thing about rats Hyper intelligence That’s the thing about rats Traveling at speed That’s the thing about rats Sensing everything That’s the thing about rats Spilling a secret That’s the thing about rats Relationship strain That’s the thing about rats So close to my heart Opportunist That’s the thing about rats Burying a clue That’s the thing about rats So close to my...

Emotion dump I see the wall coming Distance between me and tolerance Not for people but things Damn near everything is moving And I'm complacent I had it all figured out I don't want to grow I'm moving too slow Send a comet at the world I struggle on Nothing has instructions and everything is hard Send a comet at the world I struggle on My child is sitting in a driverless ride Send a comet at the...

Everywhere I taste your pulse In the morning In the evening as I watch the crowds go home You made my day inverted Now I walk this place like Blade Innocence drained from me like the crudest oil You made the sun seem evil Now I carry myself this way You called it a blessing as the best of me drained away Sorting through the wasteland of my mind Let me find balance in the sunset sunrise But not bef...

King Slender bounce as if on rubber Off the ropes or so he hopes To slam down opponents In the prime of his life Kin Corn Karn gone In this light his eyes are golden He’s a flashy dude Don’t step on his arrangement He’ll straight clothespin you King Slender unleash the slender bender Send a bitch down the way Backbreaker paused Until he has a cause Make a Star Man gone In this light his eyes are g...

Is the measure of a man the sum of his years Or what you see today on this frame Can I beg you to remember me the way I was As someone to envy and fear Walk down the hall seems longer (Impossible) Gotta find a way to slow the fade (Impossible) Feel the bones They’re growing colder (Impossible) Burn away the olden days My gait has taken so many hits The baggage and the pain and the remorse Walk dow...

So now You are glowing Repulsive So fetching You sit so sure in your clasp of gold Never budging to face trouble head on Stronger by definition but forced and rigid Can you step down from your throne? Can’t be in this fight in your current state Spreading the gorgeous light A conflict free diamond in this time of need Is just a rock that’s in the way Locusts Are coming Devour That smile You sit so...

You've lived complacently Off the cuff I've wanted to step up and save the day You say you never wanted my dog in this fight So do something to save my brain Innocent in the bliss and now I’m hooked So do something fast before I walk like you Right rights the wrong And that is why we're here Moving is something to do When the pot isn't stirred The mixture congeals You say you never wanted my dog i...

They meant it when they said I was on the rise Always looking for a shortcut to ascend The first one noticed when the time came to be chosen Anyone in my way will face my steel The pointy end Stab if you must Don’t mind I do Hasten your thrust I’m coming for you The pointy end The one you use Time for you To destroy this ruse The pointy end The pointy end Imposter syndrome won’t be the end of me B...

Between the pages An ancient scroll Incantation spoke too audible You bought it low And now it’s grown Spreading like fog over the home Dispel belief The unbeknownst Sanity draining human host We see the changing of the tide A part of me believes It’s so dangerous to dream The God of the Moon agrees Yet he fills us with all Marching on Towards violence Eyes gone gray like slate Where the sun Faile...

Found a camera in the cupboard Another in the fan Someone wants to know what I’m doing Eavesdropping on a man Feast your eyes if you want to I’m no stranger to the game Ran interference all my days Now I run counterintelligence on you Getting fitted for size in the memorial garden Back of my mind I’m looking for bugs That’s not the way to ruin my day The boys are itching for a crispy evening And m...

It’s a fine line between living and living well Finding a heaven in this hell Live in a million years in this moment Steal a vibe and confine it Sneak a taste whenever the well is dry It’s the fight Wise Meet me in oblivion Wise Meet me in oblivion Wise Meet me in oblivion Wise beyond the times See me in a place between the seams Bonded in perennial dreams Meet me oblivion Claim your space We’ll r...

Cryptozoology and cryptocurrency Strange bedfellows like tutors and lobotomy We find ourselves in the corner of the pub Nineteen bottles empty and thirteen shattered and seven to go Digging through the shallows of my old billfold Seems like every bit of cash went down his old gill hole Bartender tells me calmly that my friend has to go Deep sea features on a landlocked sea creature Yeah, he knew h...

The only mail I don’t hate is hate mail, I love it Speak your mind and never hold them back, you sicko You fold it up nice and walk it down the hill, on the coldest days There’s so many broken among us Taking up the space we can use for trees Or parking space Or fast food spots Or luncheonettes Or bridal shops Or taxidermists Or lotto offices Or pawn shops Or gold exchange Or smartphone repair We...

Reading my name on the back page Whatever you said got legs My plans in disarray Because your storytelling brain leaks like a grate This won’t boil over today Am I right? I’m feeling so violated Can you see my pride slipping away This is supersized in my mind You spilled your beans and I caught a stray Vans populate the front of the house Flashbulbs and microphones in my face Wagging tongue on the...

A letter unsent airs the darkest truths Brittle us We apologize for all the bad blood Brittle us We fester inside building a claim Brittle us The edge of a cliff staring at rocks Brittle us Awaiting their feast without a pause Brittle us We're resigned to a fate without a fight Brittle us We brandish the sword that we fall upon Brittle us The gravedigger Measures our size Send me packing Buried my...

Mama always warned her to walk on the right side of the road Oncoming traffic at least shows its hand Instead of that blindsight No use for hindsight Fine china shatters just as easily Goodbye sweet young thing Sandpaper hands caress the face No need to learn the lesson Wide eyes bear the truth I'm guessing Why do I have to be right this time Prized possessions die just as easily Goodbye sweet you...
