I live to sleep in floating sheets Fabric hovers above us Turn the key on my dreams the car Glides the spaceways elevated Just a night away (a night away a night away) From the skeleton hands of the world Separate the days in my novel Chapters with a calling card Landscaping the man said Terraform my new zone But all the fears are gathering Midnight brought the horizon Closer to my breath Elated I scroll to the bottom No new business Motion to adjourn Dissolve the hands of the clock

Voltage swing, birds diving from telephone wires Did you get the message? Too tired to walk to wired to drive Streaming colors at the circus Roads wearing an over slick look Grim slide from passenger’s side Author in charge of the automatic book Writes itself, jumps on the shelf Eyes catch When we talk about The next step Canyon splits where we are and aren’t now No need to stretch The imagination Make the real life jump (You got the) Literal sling option In the neighborhood of mountain crest or peak Catch an echo backwards Find me at the bottom, seated in the autumn Leaves forgot to mention 'em

The bird in my mouth is upside down Flipping around leashed to a standard sound Diet is worms and sifted dirt Grass between the beak and the goal Heart beating the steps beyond hurt In death we are recycled A soul that seems immobile Becoming a distant problem Caught in a drifting warble (flute music) Gliding over the lawn I survey the folds of leaves Any tiny crinkle Could mean company I swoop and dip the long dive A swan song for the audience Tiny ears the fear is real Coming true in miles per minute (whistling) Flexing the melody Bent staircase See the serious mark Upon my face

Watch my wound healing Timelapse, the sungraph Gap of understanding Attention has been taken from me Life force is a joke And I’m the only one laughing

A gratuitous loop, an abstract group We spiral the line two lonely hunters Binoculars focused on the splits In the seams of the drawbridge Picking up a distant signal Coming closer, made to order Likely echo from a fold of Creased wings turning over Bread the meet, deep fry to keep Sealed the pact between lunch and snack time Scope of practice is kaleidoscopic Warp whatever gets in the crosshairs Echo on, echo why Echo you and sometimes I Echo I echo e Echo why and sometimes you I echo Drawbridge

My wake up call a gentle kick in the teeth From god to me friendly reminding The hands up on my shoulder coffee pouring over (hot never cold) Wiping up the counter proposal Of the simple fabrics of bed Last night I was with my tiger A small companion Watched me at the restaurant (a small joint) As bats swooped the bugs The rats ran the ceiling A terrifying circuit - I should know I stood second guessing my order Was the combo really worth it? Where are the big speakers? I don’t know I don’t know Kind you see in the theaters Shall we go? We should go Looking back at the stretch of day Orange stripes following What did I have to offer him A little more time he lived for attention Little sprig of cayenne Where are the big speakers here we are here they go voice coil to the spider supporting the cone
