COLD ENGINE

Old data
stands guard over the present that my guilt gives
Tin foil
starts peeling from the helmet where my head lives
Ice water
to cool the sins they don’t forgive

This author
sneaks jokes into the places where the plot sits
Snap punchline
has been designed in ways to give my heart fits
Ghost writer
just never knows when he should quit

Rust orange
in small freckles dotting where the water set
Round rivets
for sealing up the seams at where the lines met
Warm thunder
the kind of roar you don’t forget

STONIC

The broken glass appearing
A drop of dye goes hiding
The only hint is in the shade it draws
Voicemails are spilling into solubles
Goes down easy, like repenting
A grail brimmed with tired trying
Premonition of taste before the tip begins
Toss back the oil with the water, in one go

YOUR FEELINGS PLUS A QUARTER COULD BUY YOU A GUMBALL

It may have been a single night or several, based on my intermittent recollections
The fingerprints upon the pristine veneers of all the furniture began to pressure me
So we took turns to keep ourselves from shouting over every exclamation
It was too warm to see my breath, so I guess that I was smoking something
We tried to move, to make sure it was done before we thought too…

BYSTANDER BLUES

Anything that you love
they gonna take from you
Yeah, anything that you love
they gonna take from you
Oh, yessir
Unless you get some money,
ain’t nothin that you gonna do

They gonna wait
until we all tear ourselves apart
Yeah, they gonna wait
until we tear ourselves apart
Oh, yessir
They just like the color
of the blood that we weaved into our art

So, I got a song,
gonna tear a hole in the sky…
