why do i fake • and why do i go fight • i haven’t got a clue • still to this day what’s wrong or right how do i hold this old seashell in my hand • out always to discover what it means to be your man so i fly • into this web that traps an eagle • in the eye • inside the thread hole o through a needle • stitched in time why do i sing and why do i go dancing • my pants are filled with ants • itching up my legs do si do • around the barn’s dirt floor • scoring with the chickadees • balancing 2 and four on A line • between 2ledges and tall reasoning • bought the sign • that in saying it’s the season so divine why do we hate • and why have we sedated • all these children that are glowing • in their age we’ve been deflated how do we know • just what their futures hold • just because the cold is coming • doesn’t mean it’s been foretold it’s a lie • and it’s all teasing in the chimneys of our sky • intoxicating beings left behind why do we go loving • the stars are high • the skies are full of little pearls and doves fly by above us angel hair • woven from despair • a cloudy night from hope’s great light • your haven high in heaven we must try • 2B good • all (good boys) go 2 heaven • ties that bind US 2B true until we greet the brighter side

C B+ deflated d reams - my attic holds Am F G blue sky asleep - inside a casket C B+ traces of A fire’s coals Am F G my hot air balloon - and basket i’m chained in town and growing sick from dreams i’ve had my plan’s been drawn school and house in anchored brick my airship leaves - just after dawn the buildings fell - a way beneath the fire breathed - a thankful sigh the houses seemed - like rooted teeth below the milky - morning sky i made it happen in my head just hopeful illusions of grandeur those promises that once were said now dissipate into (the) empty air my new perspective on the sky almost makes this world seem kind i know that i was meant to fly it’s just t`he way we’re all designed the clouds are silhouettes in bronze i’m glad they join me on my way i’ve always envied vagabonds for the ease with which they stray

been walking down the road • remembering things that i’ve been told • and not remembering but been told • so my memory keeps on spitting out Da new version every time the rhyming in my soup • the dinking round the tollbooth by the pool playing the fool it’s still the Dbig deal every time • the rhyming in my soup • the dank and darkening stairs • where wishing wells R leading U so i Amrun back home • home 2 C my mom • 2 hide my head in sand • do not want to B A man • so many Dmanly things • like guns and sport car bling • exhausted from opinions racing round the kitchen sink gone 2 meditate • on death A heightened state • where all R knowing reason seems 2 sooth and satiate our Dthirst 4 mindfulness/things • 4 justice’s twisted fist • maniacal my eyes roll back so far in2 skinhead so i run back home • home 2 cry alone • 2 hide inside my mind • they watch me all the time • down doing things • that later i’ll deny • but knowing all the while • they’re filming me and saving files so they’re freezing you • you’re asleep out in the cold • you’re lost out on your own • there’s no road paved with solid gold

something in the way she always leaves me loosing it something that she says i knows she’s right i blue it but knowing things can (change) i’m hoping 2B true again 2U hard for me to blame i’m guilty but U2 a bit you act a bit dI ranged untangled but in spite of it you’re wanting me to change 4U 2much but i/u won’t budge a little bit 2 second step and i think for sure we could get to shore with this leaking ship if we all blew a bit we’re always in the know · even though · we know · we don’t know shit through all these 2s and fros · we’re dancing through the thick of it and everybody knows · that guessing’s just the gist of what everybody knows i’m smiling down this road i’m trying to make ·my best of it my heart is all a glow · i’m feeling dumb · but/yet incandescent i’m playing in the cold · the snow falls · i just step in it the hammond organ moans · it’s peddles tickling innocent LY · yer 2 little piggy toes and i think for sure we could get to shore with this leaking ship if everybody blew a bit i’m crying my way home i haven’t got a leg to stand on i’ve re announced the thrown that i have long been sitting in the carpet’s red and worn and deep down all the dirt in it starts to wear me thin we’ve got no where to go and still we keep pursuing it so someday wHEN we go there’ll be a free pre requisite to somehow let things go and try to know how to forget and forgive for what we did and i think for sure we could get to shore with this leaking ship if we all blew a bit and i think for sure we could get to shore with this leaking ship if everybody blew a bit

It is also, in some places, known as coco-levio.[5]

this diary on this scary day is one of warmth again and play i am not going to say what my feeling really is in fact it’s just a lark that i have any at all no one’s left to listen, no one ever has, my bed’s been made un-wizened so been judged to be the best, but somehow just one wrinkle in my head is always left. ... more
