it makes my eyes hot everytime that i hear it
i know without doubt it was written for us
twohundredandtwentysix seconds elapse and
i think to myself, how many more millions
of seconds-that-turn-into-minutes-that-stretch-into-hours-to
fill-up-the-days will go by until it's complete.
It's worth the wait.
you're so calm on the surface.
percept of lucidity preludes calamity and
somehow, you think you know my intentions.
ha.
placid, unlike the lake, hardly describes all but the surface.
Good morning, jail cell
i'm sure you slept well
night seems much longer
in times of distress
confess son,
confess
it's got you by the throat
and God only knows
you're choking to death.
i don't claim to be eloquent
though your eyes rest upon me and
move along like you already know me
and i guess you do
i guess you do
and i can't claim these words to be my own
though i wish i could
cause they already said everything i've been
wanting to scream for years
undying,
over and over
indistinguishable, but
ever present.
i want to run all these songs together
compressed into one stream.
indelible and audible.
and i want you to listen, and
extract that which you'd wish to keep.
the words aren't mine.
but you can have them.
There's so much of the
raw material
from which to work, that
I don't even know where to begin.
But nevertheless, I have.
It's not so hard to incorporate
the ambiguity
as it is to preserve coherence,
But nevertheless I manage.
And by manage, I reference only a
single attempt
for I dare not try this
more than once
Once is all I ever needed to decide.
i'm still here
but that's irrelevance
cause you're still miles away
in theory
we have all the time in the world
but the measure of time is
a theory unto itself.
so all i can do is wait.
to kill time is to
waste it
why is waiting such a burden
and
impatience such a pre--necessity
in the chain of events,
now seems like forever.
it will be like a speck in the
relative emphatic order,
not even worth the mention.
so,
i sit.
