When you one day fathom a brother,
(raised by the same father and mother),
proudly display the hat
of parochial scat...
you'll wish your brother was another!

Uncrossing
Silent screams on the asphalt,
life that stops in the blink of an eye.
A feathered dream falls,
a hairy hope falls,
lost in the blur of the floor.
The road, cold and indifferent judge,
echoes in so much absence
with legs and wings,
that once vibrated
in the sweet embrace of nature.
The pain remains
in tire tracks,
a testimony to the fleeting life
and the cruel intersections
of human haste
and wild innocence.
life that stops in the blink of an eye.
A feathered dream falls,
a hairy hope falls,
lost in the blur of the floor.
The road, cold and indifferent judge,
echoes in so much absence
with legs and wings,
that once vibrated
in the sweet embrace of nature.
The pain remains
in tire tracks,
a testimony to the fleeting life
and the cruel intersections
of human haste
and wild innocence.

I’m a loser baby
I liked myself better
when I hated myself more
misery had a melody
self destruction had rhythm
now I’m fumblin thru life
like a virgin at an orgy
good intentions but awkward as fuck
my hands remember Rachmaninoff
but my brain has set fire
to the keys
sendin up smoke signals
to a god that stopped listenin
somewhere between genesis
and my one man show of self sabotage
they called me gifted
before my fingers learned to tremble
virtuoso playin tag with oblivion
composin chaos from memory ...

BILLY - THE REVOLUTIONIST!
I feel like a revolutionist today, folks!
Armed & ready to fight prejudice -
With my words!
I had a dose of it last night.
Was told I was not welcome at a certain wine bar,
Situated here, near where I live.
Was told to watch my back -
Just because I'm English!
I only went along for the Karaoke...
Unfortunately,
The guy never saw the person behind the mask -
Never gave him a chance!
After all, I could've been the English guy,
Who fought to save his daughter's life,
The surgeon; instead, fighting...

Cheese Trap of the Slut Ho
You’re not my girl no mo-I don’t even want you as a side ho’
Raise the fuck up bitch-you gotta go,
“No more good times, no more freaky lovin
Time to get semi bitch-so start truckin,
“Now you want me in your ass and pushing deep in your shit
But what I told you baby-you gets no mo dick,
“When we was together anal you never wanted to do
Now you giving it up anyway I want, because we’re through,
“Get off your knees and release your ass cheeks
Get like a garbage truck and hit the motherfuckin streets,

Deglittering
He was like an object that sparkled
I love things that sparkle.
They attract me,
even if their light
is not their own.
Even when he was the light itself,
he kept going dark on me.
all too often
when I was shining the hardest.
He did it with subtle cruelty
Without warning.
And after one too many times,
the scintillating, electrified glitter
that enlivened my tomorrows
scattered away
turned...

Bittered Sweet
As friends go, we were quiet lovers
just a once
Absolute darkness forced our fingers
to search for help;
Found our bodies.
Your hands were so cold
that I knew they were practicing
being blue, soon.
So black, though, in the room
You didn't see my eyes teared up
from the freezing
When I put your fingers
to my lips, and blew
all the warmth
that my chest could offer you.
I couldn't see you
not smiling
Knowing this wasn't enough
to thaw forty years
of wintered life.
...

out casts
guess I’ll die before I ever see
a duck billed platypus in boots
at the theatre there simply aren’t
the parts is the usual excuse

Last to Leave the Party
You’re the last to leave the party
The last one to catch on
They’re way too kind to kick you out
But they’ve already gone
They’re setting good times on the shelf
They’re turning off their phones
When you’re last to leave the party
You get used to drinking alone
Should’ve known the time would come when you’d get left behind
But you were having so much fun you couldn’t see the signs
They’re looking at their watches saying sorry, gotta run
But it’s not late, and you thought things had only just begun
Time only flies for the person...

They’re looking at their watches saying sorry, gotta run

Rivers of Life
I drown in the blackhole of memories
hearts break down as porcelain whispers echo
the hurt as a delicate origami unfurled
swirled as in a whirlpool crumpled and torn
your lies are as a cuckoo's call
empty echoes, shadows fighting the night
threads of my trust now frayed
swept away by my tempest of sorrow
hearts break down as porcelain whispers echo
the hurt as a delicate origami unfurled
swirled as in a whirlpool crumpled and torn
your lies are as a cuckoo's call
empty echoes, shadows fighting the night
threads of my trust now frayed
swept away by my tempest of sorrow

stagnant hearts always turn to stone
I've convinced myself
there's nothing here
worth holding on to
and I've been waiting
for you to prove me right
So far
you don't dare to disappoint
I push through because
there is nothing else I can do
I have no one pick up the pieces
of the crumbling parts of me
and it's easier to push
the closeness of your face away
than let you see the real me
in this half light
Never mind that I want
you to push through
intuit the wrongness of this place
I want you to see me ...

New Years Eve
all alone
looking for someone
to kiss
when the ball drops
searching for you
cause, you're the one
I want
looking seeking wishing
just to be in your embrace
to hold to hug to squeeze
New Years Eve
looking for someone
to kiss
3, 2, 1...
I'm all alone...
maybe next year :)
