Strung my imagination on a kite watched it take flight, man it was windy. Just beneath the cloud is where I found my place. Just this side of the cloud. It’s all seen, never captured […]

I walked up high on a telephone line. I tripped, didn’t fall, I was flying. Man, I was a plane. Little wire runway, never call my name. Boy, I’ve gone insane. Flutter outside to a […]

From up in my apartment, I look out and see a street. Screams behind me, startling, coming from my TV. Green, tired eyes to windows. Look out, I hear four feet. From frames behind, of […]

Crawling up to easy. Crawling up to free. Crawling up this lifelong path to be what we will be. Bring us back to laughing. Bring us back to smiles. Bring us back to dirt road […]

Walk for years to find me, because I don’t know where I’ve been. I am not where I am right now. All we are is ever falling, until we hit the ground. Running. ‘They already […]

Am I way ahead? Did they already pass? How will I ever make anything last? If I wait for you, will you wait for me? I wrote you a song, but I can’t really sing. […]

It happened again. I snapped. I never realize it until I’m back. That was a week. Did nobody see? Does nobody know they can reach out to me? Normal me, falling so calmly to the […]

Not sure how this will end, so I should, at least, begin. Not sure where to go, maybe tomorrow I’ll know. Get ahead, fall behind. Wreck through life. Be so blind. Storm around in a […]

A cup of cold coffee in the morning, to the corner where she decorates dreams. He’d always go down there when he was in town. Down to visit the queen in hopes she’d dance and […]

Out. After the sun. The sun, it won somehow. I was driving home and I caught a shooting star, listening to the wolves on an old album that she sent me. Out. Under the night. […]

He sees hands on one screen, His wires skip to future memories, ‘Stuff me in my time machine and take me to right now.’ She is sorcery. This is so surreal. Time is sorcery. She […]

From another place or from another time, he drove outside to take a stroll in his mind. Makes up he’s a fire. Tells him it’s just rain. ‘Soon’, he says, ‘the light comes back.’ In […]

She pulled him out, she fell right in. She told him just to let her swim. The coffee spilled, it always does, and she got mad because he was. Sometimes it all spills a little […]

I’ll just sit here and watch the sunrise, see what happens. Something’s always happening. They say time is undefeated, do they know I am too? Your realest smile is in your eyes. I can see […]

I’ll take a trolley to my youth, Go do the things I used to do. Those things always got me through and back then this was easy. • I’ll spend a day with my best […]

The TVs on, but there’s nothing on and he can’t sleep. Wonders why the deep end’s on the wrong end and then doesn’t care to care. He likes it that way. Anchors must be allowed […]

Mend me, bend me, break me. Push me ’til I’m the dumbest person in the room. Surround me with genius. Push me out of place so I’ll feel easy and one day, maybe, get some […]

All the, none the, sleep I get. The demons here, they’re so upset. They live next to a cigarette that sleeps above my ear. All the fun that we forget. The memories there, they lost […]

Walk out of this opera, ‘cause I worry that she’ll sing. Wasn’t ready when it started, so what does this really mean? Slide out of this orchestra when my chair sits way up there. It’s […]

Lights blink in the distance and I don’t know why, Imagination says, ‘old smiles saying hi.’ Talk to myself more than you these days, so I look up to the sky. Radio, silence, and another […]

I take my time, but it gets so quiet. Silence. When I get back to normal. Still don’t know what that means. Speak. Give a sign you know you’ll be fine. Bridges sings, ‘take me […]

At times I run away just to get by, even if just for a little while. This is headlights in the fall. This is me putting me into it all. Until I leave this fog […]

He’s got feet down beneath his knees. Walks to the water while she’s out at sea. ‘One day, mermaid, take a walk with me.’ He floats his heart up above the trees. Only comes down […]

Life, you bring my people down. Life, you are so deep. Life, you move so slowly, Life, you only steep. Life, you know we’re tired now? Life, just let us breathe. Life, you move like […]

I am not a writer. I am not a light. I am just a little thought moving with the night. I am not a circus. I am not a clown. I am a half-balanced act, […]

He’s not who you say I am. He’s got time on me. He filled up songs for legends, bumbled beaches with the dead. Don’t care, or know, who you think I am. I’d like to […]

You shine. You’re dark. I love the way you shake. You’re fine. You’re smart. I love the way you make it. I didn’t mean to leave us. I didn’t mean to slide. I don’t know […]

You talk about early, but you’ve never met late. Do you ever wonder why some people stay? You think about dreaming, but don’t get a taste. Do you ever wonder why some people wait? Eat […]

Drop, puddles move. They say, ‘it’s raining.’ I was gonna walk today. I told you I’d break, you said you were crazy. It’s just part of the story. The tale we’ve been writing for ten […]

Cupcakes on the floor, the clock reads zero. 6am and I’m waiting to sleep. Goldfish on the counter sit next to no coffee, and I can’t hear them talking. Blue, red, white lights outside an […]

I’ll trash that whole day now. I’m so clear in the mirror and it’s so foggy out, I can’t see a thing. Sliding sideways between three white lines, Songs about your shirt humming in my […]

Realize I didn’t mean to stop? Realize that wasn’t what I wanted? I lost my person, lost myself, I was feeling overwhelmed and sometimes life takes time. I can do it all. I can’t do […]

Money she’s out on the bike today. I know she’s driving me wild. I am just a spectator, but she can go for miles. Money I’m back in the van today. She knows I’m not […]

Soaring song. I was watching the moon hide in the air as it came on, and I thought of the days when it was just wood wheels out there. Carved, then, fresh trails. Stare at […]

What if I said there’s no ego? If I said it’s only pride. What if you knew what I’ve been through? Would you run away and hide? What if I said I’m just nervous? If […]

Wide awake on the third story, He sits while Howard sings about his time. A creature stews in a pot on an elephant On the third story and it’s only Saturday. A gift from the […]

He’s not afraid, he’s just had a long day. At times, he feels he knows he’s losing it. He’s not losing it, but it’s not next to him. Reuses shedded skin. Worn thin, His mind’s […]

What if we didn’t worry? What if we walked to the sun? What if we took a weekend and didn’t have any fun? You left to set you free, but you just came undone. Why […]

I’d write every day if I had enough ink. You gave me this pen and it’s starting to shrink. I’m just trying to save it. I’d live every day if I didn’t just think. Got […]

Tell me I don’t hear me on the radio While my wheels fall down the road, Up to your mountain inside the snow. Come on, get me there, bring me home. Tell me my thoughts […]

Coat your throat. Touch the sky. Unroll the pool and float, so high. Race on and on and you wanna slow down. Days awake, Up so high. Float on the pool, unroll the sky. Way, […]

It’s flesh in front of black and white. The one you think of every night. The sting of a spring, floating away. The one with whom you know you’re safe. So you make yourself comfortable. […]

When I walk to your window, I see myself looking in. Moving drops of melted snow To find a fire burning Near your warm and calming glow. You see you outside of old frames. You […]

He could build a big beard, grab a sleeve, run away. Get a dog and a van, have no plans, have all day. Shout, ‘I’ve never felt so free. Look at me.’ But, honestly, anybody […]

I am not a liar, I just take my time. I live on a wire, sometimes I am fine. I am not a writer, I’m just wasting ink. I swam in a fire, and then […]

You think that you’re breaking. You don’t know you bend. You feel like collapsing, and you think it’s the end. I’d take all your rain. I’d take all your sorrow. I’d make all your days, […]

Hear these same songs in this same spot. Nothing at all’s the same anymore. It all feels so different. Head to toe, connected. Hammer and nails, miles of tile. I’m out of myself and happy […]

Before I ran into you, I’d never stopped to meet me. I bounced around inside myself, Hoping to break free. Sat in the back row and wrote it all down. Wrote it all out before […]

I couldn’t stop and I couldn’t go. Time is nothing but more, or less, time. And what if it ends tomorrow? We never know what we’re gonna be, But, we can be more than what […]

The boy who couldn’t let himself in. Every time he’s ending is when it all begins. Woke up in a hurricane, afraid to sleep at night. That boy smiled through so much pain until he […]

I sat alone on a beach on a Saturday. Thought about a note I wrote a while ago. A note about fighting parts of myself, wanting free. I know I called it, ‘Song To Me’. […]

Where is my ship? Who moved my shit? Been sleeping nine to five. Seems something isn’t right. Got too much on my mind. Weather and a woman. How did I slip? Who touched my shit? […]

I drive in the sandstone, my mind in the sea. I climb to your rooftop for a little peace. I go to the city, sit down by the bay. I go up to heaven to […]

I read a book where it wasn’t all easy, But I’ve always liked making up Better stories in my mind. The way before is now behind. Ahead of a head and it’s always easy. Yeah, […]

In some ways, it’s already yesterday. I don’t know how I made it. I got buried. I dug in. Got dug out by people I dig. Pulled out by people I love. Why do people […]

Skipped stones and steeped thought. I walked for years before I got lost. And I never knew I’d be alright, If I slept all the way through the night. There is a light inside me, […]

The leaves changed with the terrain. Leaves left and came with the terrain. We listened to the Cities during sunset here. Years ago. So I gave it a spin in the dark. Thought of you […]

I am a lion. Courage, my desire. Afraid of heights, my life out on a wire. Dogs show men who preach they’re not liars. A curtain brought a tin man a home. I am no […]

Half past rain in the park, The drops were all on cue. They swirled in circles with us, It was like they knew. Made-up rain in the dark. The drops were right on time. And […]

Do I live in the past or am I from the future? I don’t forget things that I’ve never seen. Real reels tangled, cut scenes. Why do I know the things I do? I can’t […]

Maybe today’s my lucky day. I found a wishbone on the way home, But nothing ever came true, It all just hit me. Out of the blue. Three feet bouncing across the street. The sound […]

Practiced. Patience. I was waiting on the paper. See what it said. Not said, but read. Black and white, little tiny lines. Old mug of crunch, I was opening the paper. Pages of dead. Not […]

She is a warrior. Her eyes are heaven. She is not fearless, Her dream’s never broken. She’s a worn out angel, One day dancing. Outside, a song in my head. By My Side but she’s […]

I will rock my soul. I will be like me. Do everything I want. Tomorrow I’ll be free. I will not grow old. Always be just me. Say everything I want. I don’t know what […]

Why would you yell? Why don’t you talk? You make me yell. You never talk. The more you need it, The less you have to say. Go ahead, push it away. Monday doesn’t stop to […]

A lifetime is a day. Each evening is a breath. Did you waste any sunsets? Did you get enough rest? Each city is a stop light. Every risk, a step. Each postcard is a letter […]

Don’t talk to me. Not the way you talk to yourself. Go outside for a while. Go way outside for something else. Slow down, for me. Spent time with me. Quiet, chatter. Talks with myself. […]

When I’m alone in a cloud, I’d rather be with the people. When I’m surrounded by the people I find I’d rather be alone. People get so loud. Why can’t I be in the same […]

You couldn’t have waited? Nobody was ready for that. Two years ago today I was excited to see her. Nobody was ready for that. I still get excited to see her. To hear her. Have […]

I listen, loud, while I live so softly. I move so slowly, you think that you caught me. Though, I know you’ll never keep up. I know you’ll never change. Keep up. You speak so […]

If I sit here. If I stare there. At the elephant in the tile there. On the table here. Unfocus, no thought, there. City’s breath blows hot air. If I sit here And I don’t […]

I walked across my brain today While I was crossing the street. I walked outside the lines today, They watched me from the back seat. I talked about the day today While I was stacking […]

Chase a ball on a field Spin old earth on a wheel. You’ll be like your idols, All your fallen idols. Write a book, make it real. Your ideas that people steal. They’ll be like […]

This town was alive. This town fell asleep on me. It doesn’t say a word. This town is dreaming. This loud is quiet. This loud fell asleep on me. It doesn’t answer calls. This loud […]

We walk through the weather Writing our own book. And you look like the ocean, Waving as I look. The cards are in the music. The dealer’s gone to hell. Don’t care about the prophets […]

I see a spark and think of blue. All that’s in my thoughts these days. All that was on my mind, It all got left behind. One afternoon I spilled it all. Well, not one […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

The silent type, though full of thunder. Not naive, but so much younger. Her roots will weave and wade in wonder. What are you really after? Close a book and think out loud. Give a […]

He skips a stone off a roof to glass. Opening, she leans halfway out of her room Eyes move up while they begin to bloom. Colors colored in black and white. She opens up the […]

A real who’s who of nobodies meeting in the dark. Like shadows as they gather In the corner of a circle in the park. They’re there. Half of a two piece puzzle falling to the […]

I was once the sand Carrying the sea. And every sleepless night They walked all over me. I was once the colors Reflected by the sea. I was so magnificent. They always looked at me. […]

I’m always up. I never walk around. Coffee all day and I leave the ground. I’m always up. I never hit the town. Stay inside and mix my thoughts around. Do you wonder where your […]

Sometimes I forget that beneath all the bad days, to the left of the lost ones, above where I feel fear, beyond how things seem and how things are, down near days when you’re not […]

Listening to raindrops. Look up to the sun as they stop. You start to speak as we roll to the top. While windows skim The wind comes in And out of your mouth The story […]

Dr. Sue was a doctor. Dr. Sue was a man. Dr. prescribes, ‘If I ran the circus, I’d have boom bands.’ Dr. Sue says boom bands. Doctor says soon you’ll start happening. The shell spoke […]

How will I know if I’ve made it? Seems so complicated. All this time I’ve waited. Tell myself I faked it. Am I the one they’ll never forget? Sit on a stool and think about […]

I leave on a crosswalk Hidden in the trees. Bark is black and white So they won’t see me. Hide me on a mountain. Hide my rosey cheeks. I’ll be up so high That they […]
