Righty 02:00
We are not making friends, we're here to be less sentient If I press too hard, it folds itself from end to end Not the only thing that matters, we do not touch And only ugly feet are pattering When did paid service make me feel like a right hand When did sit ups make me feel like a boy again We were lousy to our mothers And they will never have enough

Up at the top of the stairs, there is a guy in a robe with a sock in his mouth Down in the kitchen where dinner was . . . Dinner is Yes, dinner is We're kept away There is no contraction, the lower d is a semaphore We're building up to fractions, panty-waste We all press ourselves against a solid grain We can't make it matter What do you get a rise from? Tell me what you're looking for What do you get a rise from, anyway?

I know the seasons well . . . well? We are wet We are service industry men with a political bent We are not cashiers We are not friends We have responsibilities or there's nothing there All arrive Meet in Maggie's basement tonight We made a mess, and now we've got a big fat bag of earth The roads are clean We were where we should have been And the roads are bare Skateboard in the Square But not enough We are wet

A Spat 03:45
I'm taking the couch while you're still here, but while you are not here I will sleep the whole night through in our bed 'twas made for two Seems I do whine I don't feel the weight {or} see the waves But your hand's in my face Somnambulant kid, on the force You should break form, count sand I'm taking the couch while you're not here, but while you are still here I will sleep the whole night through, in our bed 'twas made for two Don't wash it away, it'll fade
5.
Okay I've got this bowl It's filled with fire And a bubbling photograph And a gatefold sleeve And it says: "I don't know any Jesus, I've never met any Jews." Where are you going with me now, huh? What are you gonna do?
6.
I'm away So salt the water, let the meat rest I don't care for your sister but she pulls her weight I'll let it slide Pass the right hand Grip the hilt, pawn the daughter I don't see I'm just taking my shirt off boss Can you get away
7.
I cannot stay, though I'd like to Cannot take care of my home Stepping away from my body I feel no heat on my bones Wait Shove off, the body's rent If that's the case, I won't fuck around anymore Away from the door I can taste the glaze put it right Hey Baked in deep hue Upset the fens Until will push through the press board again Uptick in chaste women Our great clasp, how it was bent Yes, we'll push past the crosier again We're not spent, we'll just fret

Out on the veranda, there's a chip The chip is on the floor The floor is fairly clean I'm having second thoughts What does nutrition mean Left two parts on your front lawn The rest is tucked away in cabinets throughout your neighborhood Try it "There were about 4 or 5 kids and they were making gestures at me and I knew if I didn't say something it would quickly escalate and I said, NO! I WILL NOT BE A PART OF THIS!" Made quick friends with oily kid pissed is knowing all the people in your neighborhood Try it

Ocho 02:36
They are all wall-eyed and piebald with retinoblastoma They have congenital heart defects and osteosarcoma They all carry the weight of the world They measure the weight of metals in rocks They are not your friends, it's time served
11.
Okay I've got this bowl It's filled with fire And a bubbling photograph And a gatefold sleeve And it says: "Went ahead and met Jesus. He did not mention you." Where are you going with me now, huh? What are you gonna do?
12.
Welp! 02:19
Aging hen cur When the ice breaks easy, I will take you to the water Fill your lungs Leaving craft birds on the Annisquam bridge Keeping it tidy With the house South East of here What does it take to . . . Walking around I feel no burden Shooting you where you lie It's not shameful Lie in wait We all chose you carefully Taking the hit we bear no ill will Binding your hands and feet You will serve nicely Lie and wait
