denver when it rains

the green was too much for even the blades of grass to deal with
did the rip tide matter?
did the undertow mean to be the undertoad
should i be afraid of men dressed like women
even though that is a commen road
do we burn insence to smell better?
or feel better?
something tells me hatred was a flavor of the month
but oooh the taste is sweet
do you not agree?
try living in an airport
to find the expressions of the sweetest thing on earth
a five year old childs smile
even if it is
24, 48, 72, hours
or a week that
make you weak
but you find it
it finds you
never mind the rest of it
the smile complies
and you smile back
making it
make sense

a night in detroit

pale yellow skirts
lifted so high
too high
makes mothers cry
young fathers punch holes in walls that should not be
ever get a feeling of what should be?
let it be
let it go
listen to the songs
cry
cry like you never have
and wipe away your tears
with a pale yellow skirt
leaving only the salty tracks of existance
better there than a crack head in a half way home for addicts
whom ends up in jail anyway
i won't visit him
but his daughters cry my name
in the velvet night
that they run to their mommys
through
and she finds them
screaming my name

new years night or more

when the wall comes in closer than any other
moving one past what is
i am not satisfied
nor may you be as well
but one may never know either
unless one acts
simple questions
words put together in an act of arms
to force ones forces into one
do you wear that?
do you listen closely?
or see the videos?
i wanna
i wanna
oh jelly roll
the dirty young girl that cries
in the night
in the morning
at breakfast
in study hall
when dinner is served
but you know nothing of that
you just smile when the dress is hiked high enough

fanta and fantastic are certainly quite differant

why do the men come home to the village
and why do the women come running
there is no reason for either
the children should just keep playing
the women should keep on crying
the men should find new villages
the gods will laugh
the rains will fall
and the crops will grow
it always gets dark at night
the sun will always show its face for the day
we always should go about our business
