how an urge from under
keening from the past
a woman’s long dirty nails
reached out to sully you

what grasping fingers
rescued from creation
what fingerprints of genius
hold you down

Jimi on that strat ax hammer penis
Crosstown Traffic
Can You See Me
make me stronger
then you kill me

Sunrise on the starship
Tear down the walls, motherfukers
Go ride the music

I’m So Glad
Green Grass and High Tides Forever
nervous at the movement, the car window
and the glare
Road to Ruin
I Don’t Want You Anymore
they load the rolled-up air with anger
you play it loud to
kill the windshield time
without a woman

Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad
Lou Reed John McLaughlin Bowie Jethro Tull
vinyl lying on the floor with ashes
fryouts way too loud and late alone

Odysseus chained to the mast
sirens eat out his liver
they think it’s a different movie
sailors didn’t sign up for this shit
You said you had cocaine
She don’t like
She don’t like
She don’t like
Cocaine

the glare was daylight
now it’s poison
are you a bad witch,
or a good witch
Dorothy?

AM I ROOTED 
OR COMING CLEAR
PRAY EVERY MORNING
you’re my blue sky
you’re my sunny day
Lord you know it makes me high
when you turn your love my way

walk along the river
