lyrics

...& here we are once again friends, on the odium express busline, a curious coincidence out the window & fishy wet banana smells within. They are sent to punish me, their smiling smacking rings of inwardly consuming wetness & having breakfast & all wetly slopping into toilet stops & trains, the dead brain blown like sand onto glass with nothing there to contain a song.

'Arise, all ye who cry in light' yells the driver, & off they go, walking tall into a new sun, still crying here, & windows & towers & bells now for all to see.

Inside non-walls & planks lay the spiders in scheming, not wait for their tunnels, & still gently slapping he cries to their eyes. Smiling in glass now growing tiresome, & useless deceiving that all follows night.

Hello in sweet carpets led by lies & denial. Friends o my friends this becomes all the same: sourness, sweetness & to what for the bells go & for whom the seats flow... Readiness? No.

A poem is a song contained in pictures; witchcraft & heathens now beg for my stomach... Looking on the crowd from a great height cracked into tables & black rhythms of glass into which lightning rolls. Passions are soiled, the rhythms are boiled, it grows & it grows, it grows & it grows.

Shut down the crowd, take chains off the door, open trapdoor, & in they all slide, down & forgotten, a weight off my mind. A black frost; fine feathers flow; we all fall down. We all fall down.
