Most Of Me Floating
02:24
|
|||
traveling towards that edge
meeting place of the ground
and the air above the ground
most of me floating until
a sound turned me around
above me the air, below the ground
I was high, low, high, low
ambulance light caught in my throat
how did I float from here to there
into your arms then to here again
away from the edge? how?

Time Takes
02:17
|

enter slowly, walk in a room
watch all at once the furniture
move over time, time, time
look out the window, watch all the clouds
the windows always let in and out
over time, time, time
let's walk, walk through the day
tip-toe tonight prepared for today
time takes time takes

Our Arms
01:38
|
|||
I'd like just to reach you
but my arms weren't long enough
sometimes all we can do is watch
cars drive into other cars
all that I've been is in your arms
or without you faced with myself
sometimes all we can do
is sit and watch

Turns / Home Is Where
03:07
|
|||
I'll sit down take turns with you
I'll be happy when my turn's through
how 'bout waiting your turn?
I'll take all your turns,
turn right, turn towards me, turn
turn into you, turn into me
all we can see
until today I too could say
I was at home, but does it go away?
or does my bed follow me wherever I go?
when I walk it follows

Determinist Chant

1234
the sun that sets, the sky
the birds in all the trees
are always going to be
the way they currently are
the way the dead leaves dance
they may not have had the chance
to take a different path
and the junkies
and the scrappers
in the wind, blow
in directions that were decided
when the semen hit the egg
slip out of the womb
right into your working boots
and into an early grave
with a name and date engraved

Close To You
02:01
|
|||
are you cold without the sun?
lay here while I bring your clothes
I'm close to you, I'm close to you
but one pill wasn't enough,
you sit there still looking blue
I'm close to you, I'm close to you
one pill, happening still

Dayton, OH
02:26
|
|||
the fence around the flag
was built by trembling hands
declared a deadly shape
but still it stands
held up were signs
torn down were hospitals
rolled were the dice
the weather bends and folds
destroying homes
it's been in the Times
the poor suppressed
the poor midwest

Only If
01:36
|
|||
things mean more than their descriptions
I'm prescribed my condition
only if I answer is my name
my name at all
can you tell me how the air feels
in a vacuum? something empty?
only if I answer is my name
my name at all, at all, at all

Flower Folded Up
02:18
|
|||
flowers function
open petals hit the air
powdered pollen
opens flowers up
all the gardeners
planting petals,
little petals
pistils in the wrist
plastic gloves
all that red
slow sutures
get well soon
cards I read
powdered pollen
flower folded up
