prompt was "bad examples"

the last time i saw you casting spells in the school parking lot
37 days before you left for that space station
trading smoke between our hands like mother birds and chewed up worms
touched my cheek and said to me girl curb your expectation

i'm not one of the good ones

now you're gone and winter's come and i am comfortably numb
trying to remember where you said that lucky star was
learned to smoke no-handed while commuting in chicago snow
guess that's probably it for me i'll see you in the next one

i'm not one of the good ones

one of the good ones

prompt was "she was a force of nature"

caught stumbling through a field that's flat and wide
she appears to me a circle in the sky
oh man oh god oh man oh god

a tremendous cloud the air turns like a tide
she calls out to me low frequency cry
"did you think that you would get away ?
who are you to make a break ?
all the crap that you find beautiful is there for me to take"
oh man oh god oh man oh god

spacious barn vs the vortex or, oh man oh god oh man oh god oh man oh god oh man oh god

Prompt: "She was a force of nature."
-----------------------------------

Standing tall and waving like a flag in the wind
A flag that wouldn't fall
A will that wouldn't bend

She's a force of nature on the dance floor
And everyone who tried to keep her down
Can't do a thing about it now

She was a force of nature, baby
Twisting left and right
And I don't think I'll ever forget the sight

So gnash your teeth and clutch your pearls
Beat your chest and curse the world
She's slipped beyond your grasp
And broke the curse at last

She's a force of nature on the dance floor
And everyone who tried to keep her down
Can't do a thing about it now

She was a force of nature, baby
Twisting left and right
And I don't think I'll ever forget the sight

She was a force of nature, baby
Twisting left and right
And I don't think I'll ever forget the sight

Force Of Nature

i think i need reminders
it's good to go outside
i just got out the door
and it's a brand new nite

walk through the city carcass
wrapped up in the seclusion
sounds from an open window
saxophone-forward fusion

today's Tom Sawyer
she's a real hot rod
plays Hang-On a lot

the nightlife owns
standing on this platform alone
i don't want to die
i just want to waste my time
the train arrives

the nightlife owns
standing on this platform alone
i can't feel alive
if i can't waste my time

come on in kid
take a seat
we haven't been introduced but I saw you at the United last month when Tommy got beat
a friend pointed you out, said you're the real deal
said you've been working real hard
he couldn't remember your name
but he liked what he saw
you're new here, aren't you?
how you like it?
it can be a cold place
Tommy wasted years knocking at the door
waiting to be let in
didn't matter how he moved, how he burnt the place down
no one would cut us in
I don't need to tell you that we got there
don't need to list everyone that Tommy put down
he's lost his last three but he'll never give up
spent ten years carving his name into this town
but you were there, kid
it looked close, but a guy like you has gotta know
the last fight was bad
Tommy's getting slow
I have to believe he knows those days are behind him
but he just can't help
getting back up
hoping for one more
that's where you come in
really think about it, kid
this could be good for you
share the stage with a lion
really hear the crowd crack
four or five steps forward
maybe one step back
a half dozen good rounds
give em a hell of a show
you know Tommy can still throw them
no one, no one, no one will ever have to know
I know you're hungry
I won't make you dance
skip the line, bring your people with you
don't leave it up to chance
Tommy is fading but everyone around here knows him as a king
you didn't come up here, kid
but you still heard his name ring
didn't you
didn't you
or 
you can just keep knocking
you can knock and knock 
and knock and knock and knock
maybe someone will hear you and come and open up
or maybe it's locked

I've been a lot of things in life.
Never been beautiful.
I've got a lung hole in my side.
I shit out of it.
My brother Mike was born from the same breast,
Or so they say.
And I am starting to believe them.
Haven't seen him in a while.
He's already changing.
Mom says where is your cocoon?
It's coming, mom.

You are gonna like me.
You are gonna like me soon.

The rumors, they don't bother me.
It's all in time.
We are mostly water and silk.
But I am more.

Water and Silk

my baby is sweet to me
the boy's got a fetish for commodity
we go riding in his shiny car
he brings me love and my favorite brand of candy bar

my baby's got the sugarcane
he's got the cacao tree
he sails to lands far away
so he can bring me back a treat
five minute vacations
i'm stuck to my man
an emulsification
soy lecithin

my labor is such a bore
but even when i'm stuck at home my life feels like a chore
the only thing i do happily
is put delicious shit inside me

wrapped in polypropylene
red, white, and blue
firecrackers of dopamine
when i bite in and chew
i love the sensation
i'm stuck to my man
an emulsification
soy lecithin

my baby is sweet to me
the boy's got a fetish for commodity
every day with him is pretty much the same
but i've come to hate my body in a brand new way

soy lecithin
