2 Shades

Can you tell 2 shades apart?
Can you tell 2 shades?
Dollop from a squeezy tube. Throw-up on a snowy platform
Youth is wasted and careening
Do you know what time of year I mean?
Does a way it means the same to you?
When the powder is collecting in
The open ones. And I am like an empty too
Was it moving? That thing on the platform there
Was it moving you?
I heard it was a piece of art
Was looking from the thing we stole across
Why do you carry that house on your back?
Why do you carry your house?
It was the last one on the block
I wander everywhere with it

2 Crows

Time flies when you're feeling blue
It's funny how it slips away from you
The way it happened is the same as how you said it would
A museum will emerge
You will make the most of it
No one will understand a word of how it's supposed to work
& the campground mascot will describe a wound
& it will seem a deeper shade of blue
when the sky is like a yellow sky: the yellow story you described
& in the comfort of a home is where it used to be
You could find it in the TV room
& it was matted as a horse's mane: the name you had to suffer through
No one would understand the influence
under which the audience was moved
A yellow filter will absorb the worst of it
But you can't look at the crows
with the sun in the way
It's all sepia tone
's what you're trying to say
& you can't videotape
what you think with your mind
You can't look at the crows
with the sun in your eyes
No, it's realer
than what you understood is
unreasonable
and unfeeling

The Body Tree

It must have been a holiday or something
It was flat enough to see the storm a town away
It was the snap of cold that felled the yellow ginkgo leaves
A ball of fire in the atmosphere
Ball of fire, you are no son of mine
The time to go is gone or gone or gone or gone
Now you be sure I hear no peep of yours
Lest you come home a ball of fire
I’ve heard it said that there’s two kinds of scorn
But it’s hard to tell the time of day
When you knew the thunderstorm you saw was at your back
You might as well have been a basketball
The shiny sorrow of the Mayflower set
Is a bauble for a bowerbird
There is an urgency the moving clouds resent
But it’s before the second story was
And it’s a problem for a human son of man
The baddest harvest of the newborn room
You might miss it from a moving car
But you would feel it watching over you
The second exit through the roundabout’s a rainbow bridge
The time to go is gone or gone or gone or gone
The selfish words we say will follow us around
Like nervous ducklings in a line
It’s either up a hill or down a hill
The mother of all storms was what the forecast said before
The rain was splashing on the overhang
The tolling bell was just to say what time of day it was
And honest doesn’t mean it’s good
The cringing sun might have a word to say
And you could stop your ears with sealing wax
But you might miss the denouement arrive
The willow tree is a peculiar tree to choose
But it doesn’t matter when you’re dead inside
And you could say a ball of twine is standing in for you
But that’s just kicking in an open door
Ball of fire, you are no friend of mine
The time to go is gone or gone or gone or gone
Now you be sure I hear no peep of yours
Lest you come home a ball of fire

Nineties Night

There was an attitude
to pander like a plastic charm
and wore a northern style of dress
There was a golden hour of night
which also lived up in the north
Courage in a stocky shape
was helpmate to desire then
The wind would shake a faulty knob
one evening in the wind
And the second that the bed was made
a pillow'd tumble off the bed
The day was child to the night
in the most revealing way
And in the morning of the day
would steal from me my word
There is a tendency to quote
and there's a cheap momentum youth instills
it shall not be denied
And it was on the very day
as if tomorrow is an answer to
And we are all in love with then
no matter what the question is

The ducks were flying off
What there was no easier explanation for
For my pillow for the sun
The concern about the outrage was
The lake was out of earshot
I mean the outage drove the price up
But it was cheaper than a lawn chair still
Or might as well be
The balloon was like a palm tree to
Anonymous replier
There was a fire. My
My camisole was showing I was
I wasn't even crying but my tears were
There was a music in a speaker and it was
Music to my ears
My monologue was on
Landmarks along the way from
The fountain was unmoved
Was unmoving ambulance
Was stranded at what I
Address a way a shadow cast
My moribund store and aghast
Would emit a severe light
In a carton of
The single-serving version of
I was weighing out if
Optional
Children's hospital
Courtyard was I
My reluctance was no picnic
Was an alarmist type of
Comforting
Renegade emotional
I tried and truer word
The harm of what i said I would
Avenue
O Avenue
The avenue
Was on all side of me
So random and so clear
With my apron tucked behind my back
Now I'm only's good as gone is
