Oblivious
"A classic case of stumbling quid-pro-quo, from a distant world in the distant past. Crash Bandicoot; he came to visit you and I. But you're so oblivious.

Don't you say no, don't you say no again.
I just won't do it. I just won't. 

A pollyanish comic book convention, and I'm impressed by your knowledge. Watch me fumble as I lean to kiss you. But you're so oblivious.

I hope that you didn't think everything i said was just another way to get you between my sheets."

Hope lies with the proles
"Question-mark bombarding motives for economy. Running rats on a telephone wire. 

Minds connected like pizza-cheese. A(The) mass of imbecile enthusiasms.

Hope lies with the proles. The countenance of a churchyard ponzi scheme; Spur the continuum.

An exemplary hero dose, glass shrimp to clean your fingertips. A queue jerks towards the classist truth."

Long lost cause
"As soon as the front door shut. The snickering drips; injustices to my name. 

Oh, it breaks my bent knee

How do I dent your resolve? The coldest cheek ever turned my way.

Don't you remember every single thing I said? A long lost cause. Don't you forget now, all my promises. A long lost cause.

The morning after eye and a special brand of emotional terrorism. Not just a common rose. Socialite polygamy was never my vocation."

Stormdronk
" 'n Augustus wartlemoen, ek lyk na iets; maar proe na niks. Op 'n middestad se rusbank. Ek ruik net gas lek. 

Staan by, die geloof kom. 

'n Skrikkeljaar geskenk vir myself, om al die stukkies op te gaar. Vloek my uit; ek soek net aandag. 

Staan by, barmhartigheid kom nog.

Ek wil weet of ek stormdronk nog bruikbaar is. 'n Selfbeeld soektog.

Sietjies trap deur 'n eeu ou mynveld. My ontsterflikheid sal seker eers na die dood in-pletter. 

Staan by, die geheeu kom nog.

En an al die mense wat saam aan my lewe gebou het. 'n Lewens haarsny kan maar bietjie langer wag.

Staan by, die liefde kom nog."

Stormdronk

Tiny House
"Estranged brothers: come home. Ignorant lovers: be truthful to yourself.

Hand, break through the window and tuck me to sleep.

In a tiny house with tiny dreams; It's always the worst it seems. In a fickle home with no disease; It's always easiest if you please. If you'd please.

A Nostalgic present meets the hopeful past. Winter ushers in a dim future at last. Obliterate my senses and wash my belligerence.

The unkempt garden and persistent insubordination. The most recent unfunny disaster puts the next into perspective; wishes the young divorcee."

Going home
"Perhaps deficient. The last fridge magnet from Columbia. A stark reminder, a cure for my thoughtcrimes. Increments of someone's attention.

I'm going home, I will not leave this land until my bones gesticulate. 

Entitlement always speaks out of turn. Stamping out clandestine white guilt. On the road to perdition lies: rebuked gamboling.

I'm going home."

Little Charms
"Boughs of an ancient elm tree; vehemently mustering courage. And so far-flung. A caretaker you won't care for.

Oh it's burning down, fire reaches out.
A no(Oh), it's burning down. 

Keep your little charms. I'll keep my little faith you see. 

For your sake: Petty revenge schematics cannonball through my mind. An uneasy realisation in my heaving breath. 

Please just stop intercepting my self-discovery. My fulfillment drip feeds slow enough."

Remind me to forget
"The fatal malfunctioning of a social system. Foolish qualities reinvent themselves. Philosophy or death?

Remind me to forget about myself, to purge my waterlogged ignorance. Remind me to forget about myself.

The entrails were never truthful. Lucidity is never meticulous enough. 
Another false phaneron in a day-long tailspin. Our usefulness may never manifest."

Remind Me To Forget
