when are you coming down?


I see your eyes when 
I close my eyes
clouded like summer could rain
I see your eyes when 
I close my eyes
sunlight will not come again

when are you coming down, darling?
summer is fading away
autumn is whirling in dark clouds of starling  
loving is only today
when are you coming down, darling, my darling?

summer is fading away

cold medicine


in forever, 
you won't be
able to read 
this is gibberish
to those 
in forever
some kind of
signs maybe
lip signals
if they can even
make out 
the single from
the noids in
those days

so hello forever 
I can tell 
you everything
I like those 
shoes? (are those
shoes? if you 
have shoes, 
and feet, 
I'm sure I like 
them or would)
and I would like
your eyes 
all of them.
Can you seem
me through
time? Even
from forever
forever?

it's so far away
here forever
come back and 
hold me

pour/poor me


[[ drunk talk of revolution by people who don't know 

pour me a drink, poor pitiful me, poor impecunious me, and pour drunken me into bed 

I'll fill in the blanks later

bonus: Trump tweets on Christmas eve about being alone "poor me" -- that's what it will be

]]


oh pour/poor me
oh pour/poor me
oh pour/poor me...

a cup of that sweet manifesto
and talk to me more of that dirty revolutio [[ re-vol-u-she-oh ]]

no time for your cha-chas
we're talking bout Caracas

then pour me
oh pour me
oh pour me...

into bed



X-ray Tex


someone run and get me 
an x-ray technician
think I see a shadow on my heart

someone run and get me 
some self-medication
think I see a shadow on my heart

turn up! (turn up!)
the radiation! (radiation!)
think I see a shadow on my heart

doctor see a shadow 
right there on my chart
doctor find something 
hiding behind my heart


perched in a cage
built of my bone

set on a swing
and singing alone

this little bird
is singing a song

of something gone wrong

tick, tick, tick
something no longer
follows the script
