SHAG CARPET HEART

If you need a place to rest, then I can accommodate you
It’s a super-secret special nest, your own ultra-plush Xanadu
Just follow the wood-paneled path, you can slip out your worry shoes
Wrap yourself in the warm embrace of my shag carpet heart for you
If the world has you worried and worn, all the way down to the bone
Southbound shoulders and face fully forlorn, all the world a gray monotone
Take a trip to my colorful den, bid all those terrible thoughts adieu
Sinking slow in the woolly depths of my shag carpet heart for you
And you can stay as long as you wish, make yourself at home
Dream of perfect memories drenched in Kodachrome
Nestled in our reverie reminisce, this sparkling shag carpet bliss
And everyone is welcome, I’m not barring the door
My heart is just as forgiving as it’s shag carpet floor
We can make a new paradise, all our troubles faded from view
Starting over and living our best in my shag carpet heart for you

A WOLF, A GUN

Image
In your dream, your hair is dancing, off-key tributes twine, entrancing The crackling hum of waves of light, coarsing through your veins like snakebite Children shivering like a paused VHS, angry furniture fills the room with stress Pummel problems we can't diagnose, morse code clocking ticks out threatening odes Singing Ooh, I'm a wolf, I am a gun in your home There was a time there was a God who hung his world on your facade Fingers thrumming ribs like strings, scripture spread from spine like wings Then the words burned off the page, flames warping sound in crackled rage A smoking book, a mumbled moral, filled with pseudo-sense in quarrel Screaming Ooh, I'm a wolf, I am a gun in your home Shadow babble, TV tongue, spirit throttled, left unsung Harps of doubt are fully strung, breath of cynic spins in lung The facade world now gone unhung, Sunday bells all mute, unrung But inspiration's found among dreams and colors of the young Singing Ooh, I'm a wolf, I am a

THE MACULATE CONCESSION

Image
  How does it feel to be dealt a hand full of sardines and rusty nails?  Pinch yourself you might find that you hate the way you feel.  Frosted shoulder shoves your teeth into crooked interruption. Loop the handshake in reverse til we forget our introduction. Leaves falling like elevators, confetti the political desanguination. Your mouth is spitting bitter snow but everybody's changed the station. Scrape off the tears of rage and cultivate a garden of attrition. Feed the beast of kindness and pray it don't die of malnutrition. You think when the dust settles you'll ascend to the upper crust. But when all is dotted and crossed you'll only be left with dust. Elevator filled with fallen leaves, crisply blanket the fallow field. Throwing punches yards from the mark, it doesn't matter if you yield.

ROOFBIRDS

Roofbirds could fly us away, instead they roost They demean the destitution that they produced They're grooming their grubby feathers so handsome We're trapped behind bars in their national ransom Roofbirds you roll us like dice in your game The whole world is burning but you side with the flames We all yearn to soar to the peaks in this town But we decay in the drought of your trickle down We'll rise above your prickly fence Our gift to make your present tense Re-dictionary the world to make sense Roofbirds presume to be wholly devout Their orders come straight from the puppet's mouth No true deity penetrates your radar Your hijacked horizon will blind you with stars We'll rise above your prickly fence Our gift to make your present tense Re-dictionary the world to make sense You scratchy uncles better flee This blue wave from the rising sea Wash out your stains so everyone can be free
