Whats mine today 
Or whats been mine
After that was, or during
What ocean was?
What trip had
And me in what dress
What woman you had 
He had then which
Which was i
That night 
Whose leg i
My
Own hand my own bed
I hold my own foot in my 
Own dress and my own
Blanket while you own 
What girl

What broke if
I made it

What stank if
I bathed it

Mirror it on one side has no light 
Mirror on one side it is you
Lake under it   is black
And on top it  is the moon
Which then do i wear tonight
When he takes me rowing
Ill wear the one I made myself
In the dark we're going

That girl and her 
Me and my rabbit 
My castle my rat my 
Dont you dare
My fort and my knife and 
You can go and i will
       for this cause and keep my

Because it's over and over again and im
And my mind im over and over again until
Im tired and my hands turn it like 
Soap in the bath but over and over again this time yields one skien to love you one skien to love me and im doing my best to love you to love you to love me

Your thing because i am thing i was thing
Now my thing because i said so
 but then you said so and i say so

but other that is other
Look under it is one thing you'll see

Maybe it got made of marble maybe ashes mabye fog 
The fact is that he sculpted it 
A statue of a rumor of a 
Person who I was
When I was
(Have i known pain?
If I have
was it is?
Do you know it too and if you did?)
Maybe fog, I did

When fire comes it is fast
And you cant find the water
You call on the girl
To dance with it she’ll
Dance with it
She likes fire she is
So sweet with  plain black eyes
She kills the morning kills the night
Her  twelve fingers finding poison filling
Your cup up propping your head up
Your lips wont be dry
She says lets sing together
I love  you

And the fire dies
Knees knees dirty knees
Salty jeoffrey save me please
Kindred souls
We knew it by 
The time we both had 
Same order that night
You know me 
Im texting you
YouRe calling me 
Im on the side
No reception
Modern day 
Heaven hell coven maven
Light the hay
Call me by my 
English name, 
My life is not 
A Freaking 
Game
Nobody wants 
To hear about
Voter turnout
About my monologue 
I am a monolith
A ten foot goliath 
All made of head at that island 
I am made of head
Secret disclaimer
My body is underground
An alien put it there 
Once when they touched down
Im a small statue life size if you please
Somebody sculpted me 
Down on my knees
And im made of wood
And im by the ocean 
And im floating away
Come find me 
Come floating
Come sail away
I am a locket you wear around your neck
Lose the key for me 
And I'm dead
Jolly come save me 
Im floating on air 
You cant miss me 
Just go down that street
And turn at the corner of mayhem 
And pluster 
ThereS a big house then an ally then a bluff
Im in the bluff. 
Folding my termites
They grew when i 
Dug myself up 
And changed into driftwood
Threw the locket in the sea
Swallowed the key
Come here
Carve me out of stone 
Or make me into a bronze
I want to be so you'd buy me in a 
Museum auction
Put me on the block
Jelly im rocking this fast talking man
Ill fetch a penny before the night ends
Night is over. 
Morning is a bubble in a balloon in a shell
When i get out of it 
Ill be a brand new girl 
Like tinkerbell or erewan
Ill be the queen of all the swans
Mutely brutes 
Ill live among them sing them songs
And if i see you coming 

Ill dive into the pond.

the lazy one remembers,
what times forgotten
madeline, cookie tin,

.....witchita woman dreams all night
of corn fields and sunsets, of
dimsum and rice
of a road that gets paved and unpaved
a road in a circle,
a road to a grave
where you drive down the block
-memory lane
-plane jane
-purple rain
-psychic pain
-home again
when it's that time of year
and the pumpkins rot
the girls in the fields
with fires burning hot are my cheeks
and cold is my back
spit the pearl out
and never look back
-just kidding i would never do that

hands with eyes
with i dont cares

-if i sell the gun
-i can kill the snake
-with my shoe.
