Rerun

He's a B-flat whole tone scale kind of guy

who wouldn't know it lest he tried

Never really touched the keys with feeling

until he pressed them next to me

He picked a grand D5 out of the list

A flabby kick, a tight snare, and ride

sequenced them with clever whim

laughing at this silly song

A few suggestions here and there like

subract the sounds as they rerun

shape the length of the pattern clip

and remember to press the song button

Flew the coop, leaving the nest behind

Sped up across the twenty-four

heard the call of our stomachs growl

Seeking provisions wrapped in flour

Can't Get Enough

What I know about her is but topics few

not only does she write, but also reviews

short hand stories read aloud to

tech-head nerdophiles addicted to the news

Subtly revealed to me all the clues

that lead me to believe I sought the blues

Tried my best to abide my rules

that day she laced her running shoes

I've had more and less love to lose

endowing my wounds, she left a bruise

which bled quite black like spoiled fruit

and turned my attention back to the roots

Perhaps I hadn't thought it through

but, what is a conventional man to do?

the night my eyes were brave to woo

that curious guilt that she felt too

Salvations

There is a beach house in my dreams

riddled with dusty things

on the walls lives a whole history

my collection of memories

The edge of the universe, I have seen

there was nothing there for me

just a grip of complex patterns

I laughed until I cried

Today the fifth year continues

soon coming to an end

I have taken on the task

of letting everything go

it runs on frayed tattered edge

Tiny Beast

It's not easy

but don't forget about it

just put it down

try again another lifetime

ages pass

the children get older

the new age

old propaganda

She's not tame

not like the other ones

a tiny beast

tramps on a small frame

I walked out

and slammed the door behind me

I stamped away

And shook the whole street

Lucid Games

Maybe you will change your mind

Waiting for the light to change

Something here doesn't feel right

You called me out of the blue

In the black of night

I stared at some images

they brought tears to my eyes

You were lying next to me

smiling like a wide eyed child

I was hidden in plain sight

locked behind an open door

Nothing feels quite like

when someone doesn't want

you anymore

Lately, everything around me

softly speaks your name

maybe it's my memories

playing lucid games

When you tried to call me

I ignored my phone

I saw the blinking,

heard the vibrating

Still, I left it alone

If I was by myself

I might have picked up

but I was out and with my friends

you were home and out of luck

Larry

It's not so obvious

it's hidden in your eyes

not quite a blanket

but foggy and white

You run from spiders

they chase you in your dreams

some nights you're falling

in and out of sleep

Don't ask your Mama

what the B-word means

She'll drag your confidence

quickly across your cheeks

Kin

Maybe I should give up

trying to love you

maybe I should give up

calling you my kin

Am i so bad that you don't wanna know 

who I am

or who we are together?

If you choose to be

You will be alone

If you choose to be

You will be afraid

Does it hurt so bad when you look at me?

Of Who I resemble

Of Who I favor most?

Maybe I should give up

trying to look at you

Maybe I should give up

calling you at all

Honest

Honestly It's a bad time

maybe you understand

I've been walking in the rain

I've been smoking again

I've been reaching out to you

with my invisible hand

grasping at superstition

pulling out whats real

Every dream takes time

It's better if you're fast asleep

I don't know, I don't mind

Falling in deep

You like to think you're like me

You like to think you know

I don't really know about that

honestly, I don't
