Sound has design
Someone has replaced
my feet
with a woman's.
A trout hangs
in the windowsill
and there's a crackling n' cackling
of my wings
and they take off
without me
with a woman's feet
Vicious fish
were laughing
we never did know
why they're laughing
my eardrums explode
my lungs collapsed
I was almost out
but I gasped you back
I spit up my teeth
I laid on my back
and in each blow
I found it harder to react

Trout

My baby plays it cool
But my baby plays no fool
I hear you mumble in your sleep
About a love you could not keep

The night is short when you're awake
To talk to me and kiss my face
I sip on tea, and hear for trains
You throw the fish back in the lake
I hear you talking in your sleep
About a love you could not keep

My baby's heart is gold
But my baby's eyes are cold
I hear you cry out in your sleep
About a love you could not keep

Wait

was it- was I, a spice?
to be commodified,
to over-season
to wonder how much of I is allowed in I
is it living? It it mine?

execute intention
tender of attention
spoiled with a garden
keening pawns and paper
collecting in the red
exhausting moral agenda
spoiled with a garden
seeing a sighing dusk
watching
cracks in the sky
looking back
at all you must leave behind

brokers of exquisite dreams
collectors in tragedy
gaining gold at the cost of meat
worship the pillared
the misers
who twist your life into a commodity

execute intention
tender of attention
spoiled with a garden
keening pawns and paper
collecting in the red
exhausting moral agenda
spoiled with a garden
reaching to hold a hand
knowing the palm is greased
finding more distance than before
you look behind you
at a closing door

was it was I a spice?
to be commodified, to over-season
to wonder; how much of I
is allowed in I?
brokers of exquisite dreams
collectors in tragedy
is it living? is it mine?
gaining gold, at the setting of the cost of meat
worship the pillared
the misers
who twist your life into a commodity

They got you clawing at each other
Bloated Man
they got you like sardines
In the can
Swollen Man
He got you drinking all of his juice
Cold Steel Man
He got you hatin' all of the you's
they got you, they got you, they got you
Reckoner
Convinced you into Apathy
Harbinger
of your entropy
they got you they got you
they're not here
bestial complacence
you're not there
pack like compliance
you're not there, you're here

You can read
My diary
Learn my secrets
Sell them back to me
Did I see this, in a dream?
Did I see it, on TV?

In Your Beak

Hellhole

ragged tongue
with rusted lips
woke up gone
like you wouldn't be missed
leafy words
mossy phrases
snarling big city dicks
in worn out places
not young long
deviled in the daylight
a golden houred con
our atrophied blonde god
is decaying in my car
dystrophic destroyer of your con
vapid tongue
tired lips
woke up gone
like you'd go un-missed
leaking words
mouthy phrases
tiny town dicks
in sworn out places
not young long
I couldn't bare it all
but your pride tried
your sticky finger eyes sip up
you're sticky
the pollen is your poison
the pollen is yours
a mantra:
limitations are priceless
limitations are yours

but we are all there
wasting/smelling
the black in the air
addiction in the vents
relief is the coolant
release is the coolant
a dais for cryptic condoms
and I find myself
lapping
licking
sipping
cemented
forgetting the things you did
saccharine dreams
sashaying the line between
compassion and insincerity

Dais For Moral Performance

Jesus is in retrograde
You birthed worm of
Worm of Want
why won't you think of Papaya?
why won't you say its name?
Temptation of crisis
Salvation on a shelf
How are you all the same?
Instrument of fear
Benedictine on your arm
an avocado on an autumn day
Why won't you think of papaya
why won't you say its name
