the song sets you free


the wood and the nail cutter
a drum of unwashed water
   glass bottles
gone all asunder

dare you to heaven
         you alone

    when the unaffected by
one little day of
bright-light-truth
         get to   even

and if the cat’s been eating rats
he is not hungry for power
   anymore
he only hungers
    for more rats

      and bottle caps
the afternoon wasted
on honey
            and naps
feeling the effects
   of the latest relapse

the lack of sleep
      and confidence
motivation-ambience
but smiles are still
   collectible
and that’s nice to see
            with a paranaque wink
      this hand holding decree

it’s too far to walk
      she said
and the traffic
   is busy busy buzzy
it’s bizzy
      like neighbor-bees
swirling and cutting
at anything with knees
      that’s you boy
            and now   it’s me
   well now
      now
i need to go sleep
the words that i say
      are the ones that i mean

sleep the warm still night
      to fix aches in my head
and make my back forget weeks
   of trying so hard to make
                  these two ends meet
thank you for introducing them to each other
   for me
            and
sweet dream the street dreams
      where the song sets you free
