- Cleaner Than Your Surroundings
If you were to become
cleaner than your surroundings
we'll take our meal in motion
we'll sacrifice our shoe string
tamp and load the barrel
the oath is chewed and swallowed
prepared to play the coward and
the pusher and the poker
- creation story
Paranoia warped into a gravity.
Which spread a smothering blanket on an evolutionary launch pad.
Vision was tested on blank sky and voice said, "Let me tell you about the time that something occurred."
Medication caused an ear to hear and a conflict of interpretation arose.
Landscapes were drawn from a plague of particles, and the burden was distributed.
The law would return as inflated skins.
While music initiated architecture.
Animals, living through a velocity of fear began to modify their behavior to comply with human observation.

My wife has a head of smoke
My wife has a leg of flame
My wife has a hand of bone
My wife has a silent name
My husband walks upon the walls
My husband is ten miles tall
My husband is the atmosphere
My husband is a living prayer
- Mated
When marigolds fall from your pores
And magpies burst from your throat
You will be speaking in future tongues
You will be wearing a backwards coat
And we will be mated
When you are sitting unaware
Tracing circles in the air
- My Fool Heart
Oh my
My Fool Heart
I wish you were a brand new start
We take the lies and we break them apart
Trying to identify the hidden target
Oh my
My fool heart
I wish you were a go-cart
- oppress yourself
In body and in name
with honor and with shame
by number and by worth
through logic and the absurd
through breath and through pulse
in motion and at rest
through matter and through vacuum
by trial and by test
- Shed the World
''By coincidence I was by standing
Interrogated by the familiar
When a squirrel said in a dialect
Don't shun the world, shed it
I walked along a public path
I observed the birds taking a bath
They sung in code
Their message clear:
- Space Orgy
I am everywhere all the time
You will know me by my smell
East-West on the greyhound line
Tracing invisible trails
Here is my head in a Lucite box
You will know me by my frequency
Here is my footprint on the face of Mars
In the Year of Our Lord, 10,000 B.C.
- The Way
O the way you navigate the chain of days
O the way your bloody bones hang suspended
O the way that you rotate your world about you
O the way you collapse into transparency
O the way you guide and lead us when you are gone
O the way you peel your words apart
O the way you swim through yourself inside—out and down
- Unfold The Leg
A perfect life
A perfect death
The future falls away
A perfect past at last
Unfold the leg
Walk on the ground
Unfold the cranium
Walk in a dream
- You Did Not Exist
I am them and we are me
A head and a tail with no body
In between
Upon that bluff to the east
As the sun hangs in the west
Misinformation is good
But broken promises work best
Do you recall when
