she’s on fire / he’s a liar she’d approach him / he’d deny her she’d live him / he’d die her she’d quiver / he’d expire (he’s a liar) he’d win her / she’d get fired he’d instinct her / she’d get quiet he’d relinquish her / she’d pull tighter (he’d deny her) he’d extinguish her / she’d admire she’d believe in him / he’d retire she’d be leaving him / he’d rewire her (he’d die her) she’d relieve him / he’d rely on her she’d hover above him / he’d ignore her he’d lift / she’d climb he’d cry / she’d be fine SHE BELIEVES THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO STILL FEEL THIS WAY he’s going away to sing songs of the sea she’s going to find out where he lives someday HE’S TRYING TO FIND SOMEWHERE TO STAY he’d shift / she was a line he’d gift / she’d decline she’d want to be heard / he’d be looking for signs (she’d decline) now she knows why she left him / now he knows why he never wants to see her again she’d implore him / he’d explore her she’d adore him / he’d adorn her he’d star her / she’d moon him he’d scar her / she’d swoon him he’d advance her / she’d dance with him he’d entrance her / she’d enthrall him (she understands his need to know in the now) he grunts / she grunts (and they make holes in the house) SHE BELIEVES THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO STILL FEEL THIS WAY he’s going away to sing songs of the sea she’s going to find out where he lives someday HE’S TRYING TO FIND SOMEWHERE TO STAY she now knows why she left him / now he knows why he never wants to see her again ooh, ooh, ooh

Sometime earlier he had asked "Ya ever flown in one of these before?" I told him no, but that I wasn't afraid of heights... Why do I suddenly feel like a lost soul? I can see where I was tiptoeing across cliffs beyond bits and underwhelming tundra slid my feet under it Plunging out into darkness Hoping for something to hit home Its not a whole other energy amounting to anything Please don't abandon my tangled string box I wasn't encouraging order But my insides are the basement of a hoarder I can't straddle the border no more I'm listening for the fine chimes of an anteater's spine which allows it to climb up Bavarian pines THERE IS LONG LONG LIVING LEFT LEFT LEFT BEHIND Shooken off chips off shoulders of a boneless body Twilighted nearsighted light shone through Light shone through A dangerous precarious don't seem to scare you Being rung around by a hundred pound elevation maker I'm a running run and gun type a guy but but I'd like to redefine that definition because it takes a grounded root to shoot a feature of phase Why do I want to press my hands around these ears? These garments telegraph touches of leftover follicles of skin left behind in an innocent sweater for real though I'd rather have my hand rapping around ropes around my head than be the man with no legs trying to stand water is a platform and the other elements play along too out beyond paradigms

"Never have a felt such a sense of longing for the resevoir or the blanket sprawling under light polluted constellations why'd it take so long?" -The Fatty Acids Love developing difference increasing singularity singing her name, the one I adore I look at her picture on my phone and say what is indifferent from insane making sameness? how can we claim this is anything different? expand attract accordion sustained baby grand write our names on each other's hands in invisible crayon the minds approach to what bodies want to withstand fascinated by what we don't understand propelling the demand of a commanding plot we dare not call ourselves anything but lovers befriending the evolutions of this color we are trampolining revolutions in each other in seesaw pendulums under parachute cover so we can swing like rings with centrifugal wings absolution waxed and wondering how passions are faceted

my shoes know karate moves the way we do together things spreading the seconds dispersing to corners to own up the space as if you were a liquid touching each other like up and down zipper songs waterslide down a rainbow only to stop on the hair of a period blip of a blimp or a poem of people who all are full characters i don't want to know the truth about clouds i prefer to rest in the nest of a mission statement's stated sound safe and sound wishes have no place in wells fishes can't survive in hell the oldest dishes never sell a gentle man never tells maybe just out of place maybe just stupid face maybe just bubblegum covered in place and i can't stand up or i'm sitting in an innertube floating through the goddamn blue sky to find a spot where i can be lived like i've already been died it was something then it grew and that's the pump inside of my leg its very hard to perform a signature on a blank so big how many could go into the void of a bathroom on the crutch of an open door or BALANCE A BALLOON ON YOUR FINGER BANANA IN YOUR POCKET this should have been written on a landscape so it really could be a part of something bigger holding back the peanut butter running water down a stairwell calmly waiting to make a decision to swing on a rope and be free for a second while suspended i made like one thousand decisions while i was holding back the peanut butter running water down a stairwell calmly waiting to make a decision to swing on a rope and be free for a second while suspended... elephants could learn to eat my right arm and even in the drunk of my most endearing wishes i would still like to sorry on behalf of my non-beauty sleeping i wonder how many times i've been all i've ever said i was or shots i've made in one blown up whale? while walking i broke the concrete with treetrunk legs and harnessed a propellor of wishes not in a well but a sky that is not a sky but a new world where there is no land there is no sky but a new world where there is no land there is no sky to find a spot where i can be lived like i've already been died it was something then it grew and that's the pump inside of my leg

about

These are the songs you hear in your head when the pilot says power down electronic devices and the ducts well up behind your eyes as you prepare to leave before you're ready to go. These are the beats your friend is bumping in the car when you get picked up at the airport and proceed to freestyle teal statues sculpted from visions seen in the frozen tears of goodbye kisses.
