Itchin 02:30
I’m itchin over today, over caffeinated and dayquil made me me volatile swill filled and carried away contemplatin a plan no longer viable Voluptuous and pliable on a mean night under the marquee on a sepulchral rock twas paradise write it in your book of moments: we could play our game a million times this only happens once. Pullin ticks off burnt skin peelin from sun poisonin welp from where wasp barb went in Papa heals it with tobacco spit No burn, or sting Just itchin

Pure Cool 02:17
Angry lovin Slovenly portrait buried under a place now permanently closed Beside a time washed hand painted poster that read “Yours alone” Waitin to return to dust Pure calm is the norm under heaven Me make a celestial connection Uncanny reprobate mind Reasonless play

Soft Fire 05:55
Soft fire burn turn under earth Run, torch in hand Damned dungeon boss Great albatross Maps drawn in sand where our time was lost. On wasted land disease expanding Condemned to obey a force commanding “Laughter is madness” Turn and unfurl closer

Cook it out Like nothing else Like Nothing is Like nothing sticks Scrapin off cook quick spray coating is thick Burstin is a yolk with both hands

Taylor Bug: Eyes that taught the dumb on high to sing Gentle fiendish changeling Mercurial or lighter than air or not having what it takes to be to care nothing matters to plant my feet on the ground You sent a text: a friend died from having one too many uninteresting conversations Half a mannequin in an office Half a face on display However infinitesimal We beat on or beat off It doesn’t make a difference which anymore We’re in the same boat. Nanny: Life’s not bad. It’s good. A good ride. That’s it.

about

Remember that swing we'd rock in? You jumped out and broke your arm backwards. Always speaking so softly I can hardly remember the sound of your voice, even in pain. She bought curtains to block out sunshine and hung up star shaped paper lanterns. They reminded me of glow in the dark painted stars, Sirius shining just above my bed. I drew blood from my thumb when I first tried to hold up a fish for a picture. Sunlight flashes on the water, you are backlit, beaming, beautimous... it all keeps happening, swirling with that light that takes so long just to reach our eyes.
"I really loved you", they told me. Then I went home.

For Brenda, Emily, Kent, Mark, & Scott.
