PUT LITTLE TRUST IN TOMORROW




whoever said
seize the day
must have been high

it comes at you like a ramrod
like a haymaker of light
like a newspaper taxi ramraid
thru a pawn shop window

youd need hands
like andre the giant
or a glove
like thanos

not my mere mortal mitts
of meds & meat & mistakes

SOME MAD SCIENCE





i know we CAN touch
& how important touching is

but i keep thinking
about how we CANT touch

how touch 
is resistance
is pushback 
from the atoms & forces
in our own reaching fingers
& upturned faces
& small animal palms
& cold night time feet

& i love me some mad science
but i cannot forgive it this

THE FACE OF DEATHGLO FEAR




well 
youre a person
just a person
like an everyday person
of meat & appetites & deathglo fear 

well
youre just collateral damage
everyday collateral damage
in the culture wars
bullshit timewaste
of impetus & ignorance & fear

& i am happy to see you 
lighting the grey retrograde streets
of the plumb citys boar
with your optimist flags
of freedom & future & fandango 
in the face of everyones deathglo fear

HOW WE BLEW IT




all 
the
WE did this
&
WE did that

how WE failed mother earth &
how WE squandered paradise &
how WE cut down all the trees &
how WE poisoned the rivers &
how WE melted the glaciers 
how WE blew it &
all that

well i dont feel 
i should be included
as i didnt do any of that

& neither i bet did you

LIKE BUTCH & SUNDANCE, A TV POP




born strange & shared
in a corporate world

so 
they 
run 
then
hand in hand
toward the camera
together together

& into 
a film grain 
freeze frame

like butch & sundance

before
the
credits
crawl
