Minimalism 03:30
find my tainted cell in the great wide ocean give it a rattle tell it it's nothing tanning oil for sale buy my shit, it's all on the grass need to reduce, reuse, recycle I am a greenhouse gas fray all the comforts, melt all the cushions flying north with the misguided birds strip me down, down to the minimum too many words, too many words (x2) find me a coat check with all the cushions flying south to the home of the blue build me up, up the maximum words will do, cause words still do
2.
Raft 07:59
running water, running water taking candid photos of the water and rafts and people getting into rafts and how their long, lanky legs refract the sun into my eyes and how funny love looks from the shore (or) from a parked car until I realized I was drowning all along
3.
Almonds 03:59
my skin, is pale I've been hiding for so long in the crawl space, in the attic in my bedroom, in my dreams white hot exile, cold arrangement I want to be found in the crawl space, a winding attic burned my bedroom, torched my dreams don't use me for my warmth it isn't free you took my car and crashed it in the sea and slashed down all the apples from the tree oh, it's so painful to be old enough to drive to be called on, expectations in the morning, when you're sick circular breathing, choking motion I'm running out of clothes where's the crawl space, where's the attic by god, I'm so exposed don't use me for my warmth it isn't free you took my car and crashed it in the sea and slashed down all the apples from the tree don't use me but I'm pretty sure that's just an empty plea you took my car and crashed it in the sea and now I can't stop lusting to be free
4.
Rain 04:59
no rain, today no rain, please, tomorrow I live by the lake in a flimsy clapboard shack so don't drown me in my sleep don't kick me in the back the city can dry up cause the city will drink me up and catch lightning in a cup and call it pot luck you're so utilitarian you're so cold and composed I'll just swell under the water so we're both cold, we're both cold
5.
Down 02:47
don't be late for your own portrait hanging traded in your blues for the crisp and the quick and the warm but a smile is never real when it hangs there so softly not the faintest twinge a stapled jaw, so fashionable it's all coming now I can feel it in my skin running in circles now as we try and trap the rabbit
6.
Peanuts 02:58
"blah blah" in a letter a toothless baby describes the weather "ah ah" it's green again one hundred and ten days without zen we never feign we're always faint you see that battered vein? it's peanuts and it's paint I'm a writer a writer by trade but really a compiler a compiler of "oh" a hearty "ah ah" and a "la da da" spells out my name rename my name that's fucking great you finished your whole plate of slop, of slime, of thick, mucky, salty grime but you don't know the essence of your hate keep on prodding keep on prodding till it bursts like a pimple smash the ant-farm, keep in terse there’s a geyser so much water that you’d burst too much drinking I spilled coffee in your hearse I'm the worst I'm the words that the plane drops down at it flies through the wisps of clouds and all is gray and sound but still there’s no way you’ll be able sum up anything so you keep on spewing and spewing and spewing till you give up on chasing your tail around the tree around the tree around the tree around the tree
7.
Standby 06:20
I'm on standby out of here the diving board wobbles but the water's clear I'm on standby out of here the "great wide ocean" crashing near
