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
