THE BIG ONE

you know how sometimes you tell yourself

that you have a choice, but really you don't?

just because there are alternatives

doesn't necessarily mean

they apply to you

I CRYSTALLIZE

an invitation
make my lashes darker

my eyes are sparkling wide

make my red lips fuller

stepping me inside 

    

you make it all seem easy

to make it so unkind

my blood be cold with waiting

to leave it all behind

I CRYSTALLIZE

why should you think me cruel

why should you feel afraid

to have you love the thing I was

before the world was made

to make it all unkind

my blood be cold with waiting

to leave it all behind

immortalize

JUST ROLL

but lost children always find each other

in the dark - in the cold

it is as though they are magnetized 

and can only attract their like

CRAZY

distraction

a thing that prevents someone
from giving full attention
to something or 
someone else

BIRTH OF A NATION

change will not come if we wait for some other person 

or if we wait for some other time 

we are the ones we’ve been waiting for

we are the change that we seek

ALONE

I wandered lonely as a cloud
that floats on high o’er vales and hills
when all at once I saw a crowd
a host, of golden daffodils
beside the lake, beneath the trees
fluttering and dancing in the breeze

THE SIGN

fire in the sky - telling me to hide

but I don’t know

which side

and you will see the sign - showing you the way

you will be the light and you 
will learn to fly

THE SIGN

before you fall asleep

you must count your sheep

and all without - a peep

ON ME

there is a rhythm in this flight

a hollow entrance in the night

a majesty on feathered wings

a sign that better comes of things

the dew has barely faded green

than form ascending in a dream

as blackbirds facing the unknown

swirling heavenwards alone

ON ME

if all you can see

is what doesn't work

then you shall live in a world

where nothing works

right

don't trust you

ya, you look strange - where u from?

what you lookin' at?

yer not American, not Canadian, swamp dark
now ME, let's talk about me

I was BORN here ... belong here

it be my God given right to live here, without you
ok, we let you in but you need to learn to tow the line
step back and take a bullet for the dream team
I mean, we landed on the moon!  Invented the computer!
what have you done? (thinkin' jacksh*t)
WE made this world what it is

don't like?

just go back to yer sh*thole country and die then

I have everything I need and I aim to keep it!

you can't take it away 
all mine

PICTURES OF HOME

I have come to the borders of sleep 
the unfathomable deepforest
where all must lose their way, however straight
or winding soon or late; they cannot choose
win or lose


PICTURES OF HOME

here, love ends ... despair

ambition ends all pleasure and all trouble
although most sweet or bitter here ends in sleep
that is sweeter than tasks most noble

there is no book or face of dearest look
that I would ever turn to from now on
still, I must enter and leave alone
I know not how or why

FLESH AND BLOOD

dying man ...
doctor, I feel this pressure in my chest

can’t breathe - I don’t get it, I’m still young

why is this happening to me?

doctor ...

it’s stress - here take 3 of these daily

and come back in a month
if you still feel any pain
