  • #87 the love song of j. alfred nothing
    today
    i am tired
    i cannot resist
    i will be pulled along
    by the rising and setting
    of the sun
    i will not put up a fight
    i give
    the sandman
    has poisoned me
    i cannot come to my senses
    i’m not fully awake
    and i have
    no control over my urge
    to dream
    i am sleepwalking
    i am delirious
    i am some twisted rabbi’s
    lonely golem
    from mud
    i am made
    and my curse lasts
    until the universe calls for rain
    but it hasn’t
    rained for weeks; the forcast
    eternal sunshine

  • #86 sometimes we are a desert, other times a newt
    i have been plowed under
    and rolled over
    i have stretched
    for miles
    but it hasn’t changed a thing
    under the sun
    the sky above still tips
    the universe and
    its ever-expanding
    holdings
    and still the beetle cringes
    under the rug
    how can you explore the ocean from a balloon
    how many times have we bet the sun and the moon
    the world is everything without us
    with coal for eyes
    we see what we
    are tricked
    into believing and so live
    under the gun
    how much of it were we ever really prepared to get
    has anyone here ever dared to cash in that bet

  • #85 there is a small, unknown chamber in the hiding places of the heart that contains a tiny, locked box and this is what i found in mine
    remember
    that summer
    when everything was new
    and how from
    our seperate rooms
    we shared a wall
    our headboards
    only inches apart
    yet so far away
    and once
    late in the night
    you tapped three times
    on the wall
    and waited
    and i tapped back
    and waited
    and like this we carried on
    for hours
    and in the morning
    over the cereal we stirred aimlessly
    we smiled silently
    at our newfound
    language of love
    and how every night
    after
    we lay awake waiting
    and it always came
    then back and forth
    we tapped everything out
    and understood
    without words
    each other
    then
    one night
    you tapped differently
    three times
    then silence
    i tapped four
    and there you were
    and then you were gone

  • #84 what will you say when they finally find me
    like rolling down a hill into heather
    or running barefoot through the corn
    the pebbles just roll off my tongue
    they plop into the brook so the water
    rises and slowly covers my feet
    how many needles does it take
    to weigh down the pines
    how much silver would it take
    to thread them all
    why is there a toad
    at the bottom
    of every empty well
    a myth is nothing mysterious
    meaningless or ambiguous
    someone once dreamt she was me
    sometimes you pay the price
    for giving things away for free
    what would it take
    for you to kick off your shoes and run
    what is keeping you from being
    what you were meant to be
    when the ripe peaches fall
    will you be there to catch them
    sometimes wishes don’t come true
    even when we wait
    we don’t know the reasons why
    what will you say
    when they finally find me

  • #83 unwritten rule #136
    how much of this
    am i willing to let go
    with every one i lose
    a little bit more
    of what i think is me
    and that’s what i wanted
    i thought
    but now
    i don’t know
    because what’s still
    stuffed deep inside
    is all i have left
    of a few things
    i don’t want to lose
    that i want to myself
    that i want to be real
    again
    but i know
    they never will
    c’mon
    give it up now
    sentimentality
    is your liabilty
    your achilles
    heel
    your
    unenlightened
    weakness
    what would
    the buddha
    say
    the robin’s breast full
    worm eating its way through dirt
    self dropping away

  • #82 and another and another and another
    remember that drive
    through the old sleepy south
    for seventeen hours
    in the car we dissolved
    for eons in silence
    sometimes
    and other times
    shouting over the roar
    of the road and
    the ruin spinning by
    the road made shimmering
    by the endless dripping
    of the wet orange sun
    and both of us
    somewhere between
    loving and hating each other
    which didn’t stop us
    from everything in between
    and twenty three years later
    everything pains me
    just a little bit more
    and now i think i know
    what you meant
    when you said
    nobody knows
    what love really is
    because when you
    know what it all means
    that’s the moment when you die
    and when you said
    love me now
    i told you
    i wasn’t ready to die just yet
    rachel where are you now
    i wish i would have tried
    i dreamt about you
    last night
    you were the wallflower dying
    just like the last time
    except this time
    i was the one
    who couldn’t stop
    crying

  • #81 ununpentium
    what went wrong
    just before
    you plunged
    into the new mexican desert
    did you pray
    did you think of your wife
    did you try to pull it up
    or had you given up
    outside the island
    of stability
    were you gone
    in an instant
    or did you survive
    long enough
    to suffer our
    primal
    scientific cabal
    or did you die
    with your secrets
    intact
    now the kids
    you never knew
    are grown
    and once
    a year
    they make the long trip
    down to look upon the
    christmas lights
    and wonder
    where the hell
    you had
    gone

  • #79 happy good luck day
    for every lightning bug there’s a streak of light
    he’s a freak of night
    the junebug dreams of a winter that he’ll never ever see
    the katydid
    knows what katy did
    the mantis on my window is not afraid of me
    but why she prays i don’t know
    what sins has she
    if we could take a deep breath
    and squeeze our hands tight
    we’d lift ourselves up
    and float in the night
    then like bubbles to the surface
    we’d rise
    truth never forgets
    it’s always on time
    it hides under your clothes
    it has no regrets

  • #78 violet's song
    once it rained everywhere around me
    except where i stood
    it was dry
    and the sun for a minute
    warmed me
    until the rain slowly filled in the hole
    once we stood on the beach at the lake
    with your toe in the sand
    you drew me
    a jellyfish and in a minute
    warned me
    that i was soon to receive my sting
    where did everybody go
    what does anybody know
    we don’t build any walls
    that can’t fall down
    once you knew what it was to be happy
    and now you’ve forgotten
    it was a lie
    you believed for a minute
    warned me
    then it rained everywhere around you
    where did everybody go
    what does anybody know
    we don’t build any walls
    that can’t fall down
