oddities cont.

Alarm clocks lead meaningless lives
beep beep beep etc
Ruining dreams
keeping time
Poor kid


how do we toss words around like
love and
in 5 minutes
like no one has said them before and
like no one has lied?


Raindrops on the windshield
Beck in the background
Brentwood drivers 
cut me off
I hope they don't
prick my finger


So many choices
for me to choose
which path?
here 
there
everywhere
What do I want
Sam I am?


red, green, blue, yellow
emerge from the chrome wrapper
cellophane covers
the child's dellicatessen
fruity
fun
delectibly mine


tingles and cracks
on my lower lip-
I've begun to nervously lick it
like a twitch
and the wind has slapped the wetness
and showed me who's boss


fuck me
where the hell am I
will I remember this
He holds me
and I am dumbfounded
my brain rampant 
with evil thoughts
I am convinced I will fall
and break into blackness
get me out
I want to feel it again


seeing your eyes 
drowning
made me writhe
because
I couldn't stop the rain
behind your eyelids

why won't he speak
I can tell it's corked
in a dusty glass bottle
deep in there somewhere
rip it out and spill
all over me
so I can feel too


too many people try to be what they're not
and somewhere in the course of this masquerade,
they start becoming something
that isn't good
and isn't bad
but neutral
and there's always a leader
with slightly more brain matter than the followers
preaching and screeching
their orders
to his subjects
they have no minds
they became mush when they came here
they have no eyes
their's are sewn shut and will not be opened
they have cement feet and will not move
when introduced to new ideas + ways of life
no one can predict their reactions to anything
but I guess it doesn't matter
because they have no minds
and they are what they aren't
unfortunately


frustration, manifestation, creation
rediculousity, curiosity, hurridly
I need to run from this chaotic scene
I flew into


she makes me crazy 
every so often
I can't hold back myself
and I say stupid things
I never really meant
and hurt her
somewhere in her
shining, shimmering soul

I only didn't tell you out of fear
fear of explosion
and expulsion from our friendship
we've never quite seen
eye-to-eye
when it comes to things like this
I only withheld
because I didn't want to fuel
hidden anger

levitating lint
how are you floating?
the question is raised
and henceforth
there is no answer

the sun splashes down
onto the sequin dress
the pear tee wears
sending the light dancing
across the little tiles
and making its 
beautiful bark glitter +
shine

Headlights slice through the fog
like luminescent laser beams.
Cutting the stillness + weightlessness.


the trees exfoliate
under the wind's cleaning power
shedding their outer layer
and letting it be washed away
down the slatted drains in the street.
