Gums

How stained might your teeth be?
There's no fun so there's no new age
Weightless, but building baggage
It's fathoms deep
Corrected by coercion
Give up your gums for a gummy bear
How shaved might your cheek be?
If you cared at all you'd know
Eat 'em and smile, no creature harmed
Click Click Clack Clack Clang Clang
That's that
Gave your gums up to nothing, up to zero.

This will be forgot
Death solves all this for an ant or an astronaut
Just another growth from root to rot
Implode and back again, the memory remains
Claim now as your future
Breath solves all from tiger to tick
I could call, but I'd still hear a click
Watch the memory remain
Can't use those eyes anymore

Stand In

Not the Doors, a movie about the Doors
Not the floor, the varnish peeling off the floor.
Not the act you get caught in, but the crack you slip through
Not the dead, but the casket
Not the grave, but the dirt
It's yourself
You did it to you
It's myself, I did it.
Not the surface, but down below
Not the verdict, but the bailiff's boots and belt
Not the game, but the dice
Not the grave, but the dirt
Not the song, but the story
It always comes in spurts
Sputtering wheels fall off and then it's the end

Books Abroad

Is it all a bunch of bleating
Whimpering for a win. Abundant, but unaware
I'm just a tiny whiny ween without a foot to put a leg on
Fidgeting fuck forgot for free
Not to speak ill of me, but a mirror is all this world could be.
Retire and reflect.
I bought some books abroad, identical in theme.
Pale as a pilgrim
My skin don't peel
Jammed into cruel shoes worn through the heel
Blistered business boy

An Exerpt From Amtrak

"I don't know it's just me shouting shit I wrote in a notebook about this professor dude who met his childhood friend's parents on a train and they wouldn't shut the fuck up for three hours. And they left their seats a mess. I got a right mind to go to the warden about it."

Design for Life

I don't got it, I never will
If I let it it's gonna kill
Couldn't take my own advice
Shouldn't have to say it twice when the first word made me ill
Designed drive is no design for life
What I covet is what will kill
Burned down and sold, simplified and still
We covet, we kill
Burned out and sold, scrubbed out at will
These conversations kill
Let them rot, let 'em die on that hill
What we covet becomes a bill...
