In my madness, I stretch my legs at night. Say, ‘they’re so crazy, in the park with no lights.’ He leaves shadows, his stride into my mind. Says, ‘it’s so crazy.’ It’s peaceful, it’s mine. […]

Own Way Home (2/2018)
A young man’s out looking for a new town, Looking for an old sound. He’s been looking for a place Where there aren’t too many people around. In an old town where nobody knows his […]
Knocked Down (2/2018)
Slow going, skating icy oceans on our path. Out beyond the silent frozen towns. Why do the good ones get knocked down? White glistens while quiet listens to Nobody living here anymore. Curiosity’s listening out […]
Pitter Patter (2/2018)
Ah yes, the hunter. Hunted by his own head and His own stunt double doubled back instead. Paranoia gets going. Nice to know ya, I’m going. Off the edge and then back again. Right back […]
Mustard’s Bowl (2/2018)
Rockets dodge dogs through the night. Pocket songs flow and we write. Ride the rails, rocket. It’s all over here. Slow motion drilling slowly down your skin, Notion’s not to show we’ve worn thin. Mustard’s […]
What He’s Doing (2/2018)
They say he’s right all the time, it’s his art. They say he writes all the time, must be smart. He says, Right. I don’t know what I’m doing, I’m just doing, I’m lost, I’m […]
Find Your Way Out (2/2018)
My book is open. Have a look, don’t get lost. My book’s wide open. Come on in, figure me out. Flecks of frustration scatter beneath patience. We were never finally figured out. Something steeps inside, […]
Yesterday Arrives (2/2018)
When yesterday came, I got so confused. My eyes realized how much one man could lose. Started feelin’ a little crazy. I could fight, but what’s the use? When yesterday came, I thought I’d lost […]
Broken Wing (2/2018)
I fall into a hole in the sky. Swimming with stars Before I wash up on shore. Broken wing, won’t fly anymore. Started strutting across the sand. Passing castles And shovels, seeking out your door. […]
Thoughts to a Bucket (2/2018)
When this is all over, The lights will dim. Tap your tambourine and words will last forever. I’ll still write for you from the stars. Throwing stones from heaven To a bucket down in hell. […]
Evening Coffee (2/2018)
Sometimes sun and rain are wrong for me. That song sang to me, that song saved my day. Saved my day. Sun and rain walk away. Maybe just for a moment. Maybe moments cause a […]
Wait Forever (2/2018)
I blasted off. I got a little lost. I came back down after it all came out. I took time off. We got a little lost. Under the moon there’s a little more room. The […]
We’re All Set Here (Wash) (2/2018)
Certainty slices through the air. Certainly nicer than what’s there. They never really seemed to care So why does this really matter? A little breakout chicken. All mopped up and unaware. A card. Two fingers […]
Into This Area (2/2018)
Saturday morning parking thoughts. Hi, my mind was cooking, Bye, my brain was shot. Cement these trees, planted beneath. What did you find when looking? Why did you forget to leave? If I could sink […]
Globe & Miami, Pause (2/2018)
Skipping scenes and dreams Of past lives’ past times. What was, will never be. Skipping things to dream Of fast rhymes and last times. What are you gonna be? Will you take all of your […]
Some Old Van (2/2018)
I rolled my winter back into summer. Made a lake with all the wonderland. Once fallen frozen birds began to splinter While watching a big red moon. I throw my summer back into winter. Make […]
