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

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

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

Freud 03:56
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 03:49
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

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

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
