tonight we dine inside each other

bandwagons are the planet
is hot lava
my soul is
your soul is
heaven is
hell

bandwagons burn down
this armageddon
trail of tears
trail of fears
trail of careers
is what's keepin us in business

wheels keep turning
fire keeps burning
souls keep yearning
fools keep learning
nothing keeps earning
nothing's keep
counting sheep
losing sleep
dreaming deep
thinking cheap
giant leap
empty creep
silent weep
guts churning
society spurning
society's gurney

whirligig

swimming against the current
generation of new waves
foam as they lap the coast
filthy feet follow us

my eyes breathe for me
a sky full of diseased blood

and I adjourn

raw sadness is a joke
I can't take anything seriously
I've never felt empty
I've only dreamt about getting lost

while we idle beneath symbols embossed

I'm dying the slowest death imaginable
said every smiling face pressed up against my skull


hopes and dreams are each other's
failed hopes and dreams

grapevine

moral high ground on an inverted planet

impales me at gravity's will

the brain wanders

there is no breadcrumb trail

for the sitting ducks

to inhale

pigeons' wings slither against air

erupting beak volcanoes

full of erudite illocution

empty themselves! you warn

but we missed each other

the only point we ever intersected

we just were not very interested

he said gnawing at the bone
he said, gnawing at the bone,
he said "gnawing at the bone,
he said." gnawing at the bone,
he said "gnawing" at the bone.

he broke all his teeth gnawing at the bone.

I just wanted to erase all the questions he said.

Now he is an earthworm, crying in clods of sky.

Cut himself in half.

Rebel without a corpse.
