Tick, tick. Tock, tock. Tick tock. Time vaults between three clocks. They’re lost, but we’re not. We’ll move as they lose the flock. Tick tock. I talk. I’ll drive you insane. You’ll walk that way […]

Words Make Letters (10/2017)
I was never good at speaking. At least speaking to her. So, I’ve always liked letters A little more than words. What’s with all the yelling? Why do people fight? What’s with no more letters? […]
Caught in the Apple (10/2017)
This breeze blows blues away. I’m just waiting, floating Under the bridges that you’ve burned. You’re lost in the city. I’m making a name. You’re caught in the apple. I’m hiding from fame. Your ceiling […]
Only Seen in Pictures (10/2017)
The pictures. He’s out there. Creating waves. You sat there. He never understood it, he was a cool cat. Enigma. There’s something people dug about that. He was always unaware, you knew he always knew. […]
The Credit and the Name (10/2017)
You can keep me busy. I can keep you calm. We can say we’re lucky While you trace my palm. We can sit together. Wonder where we are. We can dwell on nothing Underneath the […]
Back to Introduction To (10/2017)
Don’t think too much about time zones. You’ve gotta lose it to find it. Don’t make too much of memories, What if they’re make believe? Just met some friends for the first time. Seemed like […]
Left Flipper Ferris (10/2017)
Left flipper Ferris, fake music on the walls. Hot nectar on knives. We came alive. It shouldn’t make any sense. Graceland with the giants. ‘We’re closed’ walk-thrus. Open the cooler, we all wanna die. It […]
Beyond Between (10/2017)
We fell into my car. We spilled into the stars. We understood half of what we’d heard so far. We went out beyond the town. We walk out when we can’t stand to sit down. […]
String Seemingly (10/2017)
She was just layin’ around. A little free time found. Feeling the thought of something, Almost the way he sounds. They swim with the waves on the string, The string that seemingly wanders endlessly. The […]
Cross the Wire (10/2017)
Slice the slab. Cross the wire. Spinning wheels. Dancing fire. Slow-motion for satisfaction. Slice the slab for satisfaction. Slow motion and it hits harder. Cross the wires. Drop the line for satisfaction. Slice the slab. […]
Red (10/2017)
I went out to work on Red’s words I couldn’t help but wonder, why the red swords? From pain or paint? Swords or roses? Red from the color of roses, Watch it leak down the […]
Queens Won’t Sway (10/2017)
Life’s tried to win my entire life. I play every day, I write every night. Throw it all at me at once and I’ll still stay. I’ll probably go crazy, maybe lose my way. Kings […]
Silent Lemons (10/2017)
We sent globes on ropes to Sticks in the sand. We threw lemons in the living room. She asked us about new things until they got old. Nobody danced at all. It wasn’t what we […]
Happy Birthday (10/17/2017)
For the first time in my life, You won’t be on the other end of the line. Or the other end of in my arms. Happy birthday. They say it all the time. That you’re […]
Top Shelf (10/2017)
I don’t know what I’m doing, So nobody does it like me. You can’t level with me. There is no keel, you see. Not even I know what I mean. Will you do what you’re […]
Living in Laughter (10/2017)
Sometimes I thrive. It surprises me and then it goes away. The way you say, ‘I’ll do it another day.’ I know where I’m going, but I don’t know how long until I’ll get there. […]
A Little Longer (10/2017)
The walk’s a little longer, But I don’t mind when you’re around. There is no map, no compass, still We know we’re not going down. We talk a little longer. But on the phone is […]
At Least, At Last (10/2017)
I’m a little too lost to follow, I’ll catch up with you tomorrow. I know I’m going nowhere fast. But, at least I’m going somewhere. At last. I’ll get there, I’ll catch a ride. Why […]
Stand Out and Hide (10/2017)
Stay away from my sprout, man. You got run down and Your Napoleon shouts, man. Listen to it, maybe. It’s not for you. I stood out and I wanted to hide. We dreamed of this […]
Somewhere Under the Sky (10/2017)
Let’s run away, let’s find a place to fly. Tired tires through the snow to a cabin in the winter. Leave while no one’s listening, back to our favorite space to hide. You rescued me. […]
Kick Anything (10/2017)
I don’t know where I’m going. It was forgotten when I flew. I color a pad in the air and I’m listening to you. I never meant to fly down your street. I’m always up in the air now. I’m tired […]
Get Me There (10/2017)
We just pulled over here for a moment. We lay with our backs in the grass, Poking holes in the sky, we’re staring through the night. We’re not the same as you and me. All […]
Leave Inside (10/2017)
Eyes tend to find repeating themes. The clouds will walk while people sing. Sometimes things are worse than they seem. Birds were talking while people changed. Like the corner of a fingerprint. Slowly growing. One […]
Mood This Morning (10/2017)
Underneath the beds of roses that frosted the streets. Mysteries rearrange their reading of me. Something isn’t happening. The literal meaning of what you’re not. The general’s barking, you’re distraught. Littered with all the nights […]
Absence of Nothing (10/2017)
In the absence of nothing. With the exception of everything. We will all find that our memories mean anything. What does this mean to you? Over driven and going nowhere. Knowing where I’ve been. Is […]
Tell Me, Tom (10/2/2017)
Tell me Tom, did the wildflowers bloom? The charts will tell the truth. Today I’ll listen and reflect, can’t stand to watch the news. Tell me Tom, did it hurt this much for you? Your […]
