Grasshopper suckin on his own labcoat
Science loves a monster
And she’s a cannibal
Take a tile burning
burning with percussion
and give it what it wants
let it lick another
and crumble and chime red-hot like a penis head
piping with potential
Take a pile
sizzling like Gomorrah
Aching like a kid under new slang
for someone to smash it

Rart the Stevolution
02:42

Your face flew by like an hour
blown up as a twin tower
I wanna get inside of you
and hug your big front tooth
the one that’s been blacked out with a spray-can
and nullified before I had the chance
You come in my room mid-sentence
your pretty lips talking nonsense
I throw a sheet over you
but your nonsense glows right through
and plugs my ears with my own fingers
you always plug my ears with my own fingers
I feel a hatewave coming on
and I don’t wanna fight it
cuz if you feel it too
we’ll rart the stevolution
I run outside in a frenzy
I see your tentacles are extending
its a beautiful day and you’re making me sick
I feel like a kid cuz I get a kick
out of covering up your
face on a bench with my back
spit on a coupon
fist-bump a weed coming up through the crack
I feel a hatewave coming on
and I kinda love it
I tip my hat to you
as a willing pervert
Just tell me you feel dirty too

Your very own
hiddenest
never tell
is your sweetest
indulgence.
The drippingest,
creamiest...
You gotta do
what you got
to do you
gotta do
what you gotta
do.
But let it bother you.
If you love
yourself
Ravish the
wounds you caused
yourself
lap up that
nectar.
stuff your face.
pull down your pants.
and explode
from every
faucet and
even the
passive orifices
Now clean it up.
avert your gaze.
and pray to god damn mercy
no one will ever catch you
you
are a creep.
i’m a perv.
we’re all gross
but
if you’re a creep, i’m a creep.
then you’re a perv
wait
a minute there
you fuckin perv
get away. from my kids
i don’t want them to
look at you
see themselves.
least not yet.
least not yet

Both Babies Gotta Go Git
03:52

He says he wants none of this
none of us
Last week he was licking my feet
now he’s making a fuss
Grumpy Gus with grimy teeth
but you tell him you love him
check back in a week...
Because he’s gone
like the cool summer breeze
but you’re alone
now you’re a sucker please
if you think I hope you’re at ease
because I don’t cry for your touch, no
I don’t cry for much, no
That summer breeze gave me a freeze
and I feel the packed pounds in my knees
so my baby wants nothing to do with me
well he better fetch some fish to fry
when he and my other baby meet
after a warm sweet wet kiss meet
and between the cookadj;aw!&&%$ heat
Baby better get used to his leash
cuz he ain’t been nothin yet
baby says he don’t want none of this
both babies gotta go git
both babies gotta go git

Siggy, you little freak
You know I love you
do you love me too?
No one believes me
You’re not making this easy
everyone thinks you’re sleazy
and they’re fuckin right
I’m sick of defending you
all the damn time
and where are you
when my ass is on the line
from defending you?
the kind of crap you pull
and yes, thats why I love you
but not everyone gets us
so do I even get us?
Siggy, we have so much fun together
you’re the only one forever
only one who gets me going
I’m losing my friends
losing sight of a happy end
confusion is a heck of a hell
do you know hell?
do you give a damn that you damned me
to the final straw I’m clinging to and dangling off of?
Stick up for your own damn self huh?
and I’ll stick up for my own self
lord knows its been a while
god damn has it been a while

Sundown Town

What kind of stone, stone, stone do you want my love?
what should it say-- pray say what you want for me to say
to your eternity
and keep that meadow warm for me
Well I hope your daddy comes to the funeral
heard he broke his back living long enough to see you through it
and it broke my heart when your heart jammed
and now its swinging open
left me creaking like a rusty dog
what kind of stone, stone, stone do you want my love?
When dying cowboys guzzle your gin
and drown their privates in your missy’s sin
and you’ve smoked your childhood down to the bone
and a bowl of dust has snatched your humble home
well you best head down to Glendale
To all you broken shards of men
who’s eggs have cracked under a wooden hen
and the taste of slavery’s still on your tongue
which can’t form words you knew when you were young
Just be sure you’re out by sundown
What kind of stone, stone, stone do you want my love?
What should it say, pray say, what you want for me to say
to your eternity
and keep that meadow warm for me

Day 5
I successfully learned to cross my arms comfortably
the formula of a sentry
minimal energy, maximal authority
while looking alive
twice over
static electric
tapping on the glass like a mime
And from the outside, it reads tense
rehearsed
a denial of my short-comings in flesh
an awareness and dismissal of this
which is terrifying, we hope
Piranhas have tiny little teeth
but there’s something especially frightening
about a dangerous group of harmless individuals
which is what we are
but we don’t know it yet
Chris is doing tai chi
Ally’s counting sheep
Gina’s stiff with isometric and a snow white quiver
quoting “sharp” to the boss
mocking “sharp” to me
a scarecrow to the people
getting nods from the police
just to make you feel extra dirty
Hire six mimes
tell them three will survive
the three that get along best with the other five
breed piranhas and starve them and arm them with a smile
and enough neurosis to keep them alone and mild
and wear a tofu vest
Infinite piranhas working on infinite type-writers
will eventually kill the management

Cadillac Wings
03:10
|

You took your Cadillac Wings
Flew out of the seventies
shaved off your fins
and put out your dirty loving
Got yourself a box
like the one that your computer came in
now you run around in that
to show everyone you bought the product
your suits are drab
drabber than a funeral
but you consciously caught the fish
for your spicy tuna roll
and your soul looks so good
it even lost a couple pounds
none of that pesky personality to weigh it down
so I frame that Cadillac and put it on my wall
the sixties were so free, I totally am like that too
sometimes I wear a fedora and play the kazoo
or maybe the ukelele
if I’m around a couple lucky ladies
So ignore my devotion to Apple and I will ignore yours
so ignore my devotion to Apple and I will ignore yours
so ignore my devotion to Apple and i will ignore yours

Your curse has wandered off
the back screen door is swinging shut
Your fervor tickles in
the morning mist
and our pupils are
are back to base
Is that you, Miss, or my weary retinas?
Your likeness on the black
Is it true, Miss, that you left before sunrise?
before the sacred attack
that made us?
I came of age in your gaze
sirens and doomsday charts
senile bugle solos
and swan song snares
God bless
the US of A
But now it seems the one who winds us fell asleep at the key
or else his ratings must a dropped most miserably
or else a 14 year flare of ptsd
has cooled and walked away

Now Everybody--

I see you pilot
abusing the intercom
forcing your captive audience
to interpret your dreams
I tell you its mommy
I tell you its me
I can tell you’re unhappy
does that make me free?
am I the one we have to please?
please believe me
i need a TV...
They tell me how to be
So long, something
See you in some
things are best for-
gotten
gotcha
lets talk about your dreams
I’m lying next to you
and you’re out in the audience it seems
I can’t help it if I’m bored
you can’t help me cuz you’re broken
got these days swinging by
whizzing past a sunday afternoon
and your whistling and I’m smoking
they tell me how to be
