impossible boyfriend

i fell in love with you at the top of a playground
once a boy now a man with a furrowed brow and shaky hands
pull the splinters from your finger take the rocks from your shoes let's go play
don't worry baby fair weather will come our way again

it aint so heavy baby let it go
don't worry if the wind picks up don't worry if the cows don't wanna come home
it aint so heavy baby let it go
don't worry pretty baby we'll wait for fair weather to come

I fell in love with you at the bottom of a mountain
once a boy now a man with a clever tongue and twisted grin
pull yourself out of bed take the lock off the door let's go play
don't worry baby fair weather will come our way again

it aint so heavy baby let it go
don't worry if the wind picks up don't worry if the cows don't wanna come home
it aint so heavy baby let it go
don't worry pretty baby we'll wait for fair weather to come

can you hear my heart fluttering around in its cage
will you take it under careful supervision so it doesn't fly away
and when it's time to go will you bury it next to the tulips and canaries
so it can come back next spring singing

it aint so heavy baby let it go
don't worry if the wind picks up don't worry if the cows don't wanna come home
it aint so heavy baby let it go
don't worry pretty baby we'll wait for fair weather to come

enough

frantic, fleeting skating on an ice patch as the wind flies through where my hair should be
left behind with feminity
finding new identity
with who i am inside of me

curious to think that my present is just a test of patient buildup towards tomorrow sun
grass is flying from my hips and hands are writhing telling stories
do you know what i'm saying
without the act of listening

shaking molting melting like an iceburg hit the sun
spraying rain like noise to quiet disbelievers
do you know what i'm saying
without looking at the sky

it's a jungle of robotics
with factors of organics
as inspired by the cheetah
and created as machines

who are you in the fog
would i recognize your voice
or need to touch your face
for i can't connect with anything
'sides my own to-do list

wasting away again in mad impurities

Rewritten patchwork song. For special ears only, which means the masses will probably hate it. It's rough but I don't care. Whop!



I got so much to say but words won't fit in the space between your arms
and it's hard to act detached when your fingers are wrapped around the weight of my heart
it's all your fault if I fall apart

cause I'm wrong for you right now
you are right for me somehow
all we have is what we make and what we break
from our beds to our wedding vows...

so we dance in an alleyway and watch the ashes from our hands fly
watch the rain water down your expression watch your shadow as you say goodbye
you disappear right before my eyes

cause I'm wrong for you right now
you are right for me somehow
all we have is what we make and what we break
from our beds to our wedding vows...

I wish I may be right for you on stray eyelashes and pocket change
perhaps you're misinterpreting the end of that recurring dream
I know your haves and wants are very different shades of grey
cause when I kiss you the color shows all over your face...

cause I'm wrong for you right now
you are right for me somehow
all we have is what we make and what we break
from our beds to our wedding vows...

Can't let a year pass by without adding to the pile of schmwords that come out seldom now that I'm without the time to pay attention. The cat jumps up and down, attacking my ankles while I'm in my bathrobe, and I plead with him to wait until I'm better prepared. Please, kitty, wait until I've had some coffee. All I can say is that I'm editing now, moving from creator to whittler, engineering out all the superfluous references to passe lifeperiods. I don't go for walks anymore. I have a destination from the moment I wake up. It is good, and the cat thinks so too, as one of my first destinations is to fill his food bowl, but after that I yearn for the wanderer inside to wake up.

Are you there?

You and your socks and umbrellas and sweaters, you and your haircuts and talk-to-you-laters. Me and my bathrobe and half-written letters, me and my inbox of please-do-this-betters.

It's in there somewhere. A request from you or me to make a connection.

Shit or get off the pot is the saying.
So I don't have to.

Hats are for special occasions.
