look out into the great big sea
tinier sea, superior to me
cold like me, and she’s breathing
take it all in, the air i can’t breathe
pink depression stick
i think i might be crazy
but my therapist says i’m fine
iron heavy shoes
this shift will help me fly through time
the edmund fitzgerald
the edmund fitzgerald
load another into the endless stream
reverb and clipping, love LBV
fold into me, it’s infinity
carbonated wind, the water screams
creature of the night
i think i might be crazy
(strawberry depression stick)
but my therapist says i’m fine
iron heavy shoes
this shift will help me fly through time
the edmund fitzgerald
the edmund fitzgerald
the edmund fitzgerald
the edmund fitzgerald
edmund fitzgerald on the mirage line
somewhere over the rainbow,
Judy’s dancing with Richard O’Brien
as he’s playing chess with death by the sea
that’s a movie by Angelina Jolie
look out into the great big sea
the tinier sea, superior to me
i think i might be crazy
(be crazy)
but my therapist says i’m fine
(superior to me)
iron heavy shoes
(be crazy)
this shift will help me fly through time
(pink depression stick)
i think i might be crazy
but my therapist says i’m fine

i can't wait, I can't wait, no
when I see little lights in the shadows
one must hide when the sun gets higher
i don't know what this madness means
here comes the night, the bedroom in shadows
candlelights, I don't know where it's coming from
but I, I keep moving on
’til the darkest thought makes me want to try these wings
say hello to the night
lost in the shadows
say hello to the night
lost in the loneliness
say hello to the night
lost in the shadows
no one knows
no one knows
loneliness pours over you
emptiness can pull you through
did you go to sleep with the light on?
i can't wait for this feeling to free me, hey yeah
wind blows hard, but it doesn't matter
‘cause when the sun goes down
nothing else matters, the line is where the night lies
i will wait outside her window tonight
say hello to the night
lost in the shadows
say hello to the night
lost in the loneliness
say hello to the night
lost in the shadows
no one knows
no one knows
say hello to the night
say hello to the night
say hello to the night
lost in the
lost in the
lost in the
lost in the shadows
lost in the shadows
lost in the shadows

am i lost in the music?
is it all a storm of bullshit?
night in August, shift my skeleton
reflecting rage
the giving tree
got no more to give, give, give
slipping far away from the body, i’m lifted
slipping far away from the body, i’m lifted
bizzy be, bizzy be
bizzy be, yeah, bizzy be
bizzy be
the wise men,
they always told me i was old soul school
knew who James Dean was
when I was only six years old
hypernormalisation
is all part of the bit, bit, the bit
bizzy be, bizzy be
bizzy be, yeah, bizzy be
yeah, bizzy be
bizzy be
yeah, i’m so bizzy
bizzy be, bizzy be
no, i didn’t see Dean in the red windbreaker
as much as i saw him lounging in the car
no, i didn’t see Dean in the red windbreaker
as much as i saw him lounging in the car
no, i didn’t see me in the red windbreaker
not as much as i saw him lounging in the car
slipping far away from the body, i’m lifted
slipping far away from the body
bizzy be, yeah, bizzy be
bizzy be
bizzy be
bizzy be

monochrome photograph of a skeleton frame
of their parents’ parents’ parents adorned in the skins
of Bambi soft and Thumper proud
the grooves of the ribcage and vineyard veins
if you remove the cameras there’s nothing but the walls
if you remove the canvas there’s nothing but the walls
the water, there’s nothing to reflect the sky
there’s a lesson learned in how you feel the brush, now
so pick it up, pick yourself up
there’s a lesson learned in how you feel the brush, now
so pick it up, pick yourself up
asking myself
do you, too, remember angels like i do
they never moved their faces
a blank, blank expression
and i really don’t wanna lose my teeth
i’ve been thinking about it so much
that it’s probably close to happening
so i really need to think it in reverse, don’t i?
it’s a-
fucking whirlwind of crazy, it’s broken
fucking whirlwind of crazy
whirlwind of crazy
whirlwind of crazy
whirlwind of crazy
whirlwind of crazy
if you remove the cameras there’s nothing but the walls
if you remove the canvas there’s nothing but the walls
if you remove the mountains there’s nothing but the sky
if you remove the water, there’s nothing to reflect the sky
the water, there’s nothing to reflect the sky
there’s a lesson learned in how you feel the brush, now
so pick it up, pick yourself up
there’s a lesson learned in how you feel the brush, now
so pick it up, pick yourself up
and fly, fly

spring equinox shines on Gansevoort Street
never thought i’d be walking directly into the sun
watching the freeway reflecting on the concrete
underneath the bridge that links these two poems
smells of chlorine and weed on the balcony
and Morty isn’t barking, it’s so strange
i leave the room to hit up Dollar Tree
all the basics like Starburst jelly beans
‘cause they’re gelatin free
days go by and i’m always thinking about you
days go by and i’m always dreaming about you
am i in Santa Carla or Santa Cruz?
bridge to grip to, bridge to fall from into
all the fog from the rain over the ocean into a b-roll outtake
skinny dipping surface tension with floating pollen
never thought i’d be swimming with the moccasins and copperheads
never touching the bottom it’s nothing but muck
keep our legs up like an angel, don’t wanna get the cut from the bottles
smoking granddaddy purple on the stump 24 plus away
one cop, two cop, a medic or two before more of them came
walk back to our room on the 2nd floor to the boy on a stretcher
their body younger than we are
days go by and i’m always thinking about you
days go by and i’m always dreaming about you
am i in Santa Carla or Santa Cruz?
bridge to grip to, bridge to fall from into
all the fog from the rain over the ocean into a b-roll outtake
falling, falling into metal
i never thought i’d be flying free into an ocean of pollen
days go by and i’m always thinking about you
days go by and i’m always dreaming about you
am i in Santa Carla or Santa Cruz?
bridge to grip to, bridge to fall from into
all the fog from the rain over the ocean into a b-roll outtake
so helpless, starkest oddball
so helpless, dark cloud, sea wall
a big crash, onto the shore now breathless,
it’s whiplash
days go by and i’m always thinking about you
days go by and i’m always dreaming about you
am i in Santa Carla or Santa Cruz?
bridge to grip to, bridge to fall from into
all the fog from the rain over the ocean into a b-roll outtake
days go by and i’m always dreaming about you
am i in Santa Carla or Santa Cruz?
bridge to grip to, bridge to fall from into
all the fog from the rain over the ocean into a b-roll outtake

rambling into the gold
but there’s a fork in the road
i dream upon a dream
i should not feel so deplete
if i decided to go home
would you also wanna go
if i decided to go home
would you also wanna go?
another year short from the last
everybody else seems to be having a blast
that’s before eye speared the rod down the sky
but we’re on the frontlines of a broken compass
we don’t need you to tell us what we are
you’re just a needle in the dark
somebody else to tell you what you need to hear
it’s you, we don’t need you
another frown forms underneath my face mask
everybody seems to think i yawned
i got my scone and espresso
still counting calories
split my sides with my friends
even though we’re on the frontlines
of a broken compass
and you’re just a needle in the dark
somebody else to tell you what you need to hear
it’s you, we don’t need you to tell us what we fear
somebody else to tell you what you need to hear
it’s you, we don’t need you to tell us what we fear
somebody else to tell you what you need to hear
it’s you, we don’t need you to tell us what we fear

we flew once, we drove the next
we’re settled and, i can’t say i regret it
yet i do, too, a mixed signal
wanna go back, but don’t
due of all my pitfalls
i know it’s not easy, to put fault on me
god knew that i can lay myself out
throw out my back, go back to work
soulless and selfish, deluded and broken
and aimless, and gorgeous
the same crash course that i walk through
years ago, waiting for the same old big nothing
i am, i am, i am, i am you
once spiritual, thus ignorant
and you choose, what you know
formed by the above
god is the witness, i was in your shoes, yes i was
i was in the shoes on the telephone poles
and the only thing i know, is exactly what you don’t
it always takes me, more than a few years
staring in my rearview mirror
white noise fades away
objects become clear, the closer they get
photos under chemical in a dark room
soulless and selfish, deluded and broken
and aimless, and gorgeous
the same crash course that i walk through
years ago, waiting for the same old big nothing
i am, i am, i am, i am you
texted me, and i texted back
haven’t heard from him in a long time
took a year before i saw my message was unsent
thinking he thinks i forget
seems communication’s never been a strong point for me
even though i express myself, under the mask of auteur
there’s mountains, there’s evergreen
calling out my name i shared with my dad
like these sidewalks, that he walked
how did i cycle it all back
in a poem so unintentional
getting lost, in digital chessboards
for about a year now, so many scholars mates
used to drive me crazy, until i made peace
with the way the other souls float by
not everybody, can be the same
how else could we, join our hands
(harper, angel)
soulless and selfish, deluded and broken
and aimless, and gorgeous
the same crash course that i walk through
years ago, waiting for the same old big nothing
(crowning achievement is wrapped in those kindergarten ‘i am’ poems)
i am, i am, i am, i am you
(‘i am’ poems)
i got a buzz in how the words fall
so has the years went so slowly by
in the blink of an eye, anything in my mind’s eye
people around me, inside me, remakes of other stories
things that really upset the wavelength
searching constantly for that red door
with a sidewalk of marbled chessboard
slower, faster, no control
why do we take over such a cannonball
when it doesn’t have a flame that can be sparkless
i’m too busy stimming
projector full of images i’m firing constantly
(stimming)
chaotic in the eye of the storm
...
years ago, waiting for the same old big nothing
(i could really be nothing)
i am, i am, i am, i am you
(crashing like Cronenberg)
i am, i am, i am, i am a creator
(big nothing)
i am , i am, i am, i am a hyperlinked ego
i am, i am, i am, i am nothing like you
i am, i am, i am, i am nothing like you
i am, i am, i am
i am, i am, i am
now you know what its like
to plug your mode, and
realize you are also so...
soulless and selfish, deluded and broken
and aimless, and gorgeous
the same crash course that i walk through
years ago, waiting for the same old big nothing
i am, i am, i am, i am you
i am, i am, i am, i am nothing like you
i knew when i was a kid, all caught up in, and
i’m coming down now
coming down from that cloud
slowing down now
ready to take it easy
Carradine, i’m easy
Keith Carradine, i’m easy
godfuckingdammit, it’s easy
godfuckingdammit, it’s easy
i am, i
