 Fountains of dread

Walk the line
Read your lines
Play the part
Of Calliope
The island of the library
Banished but you still live
And your powers continue
Like a picture book
With no words

 13 bottles 

Of beer on the wall
86 empties 
On the floor 

 John Wayne as Genghis Khan

The hell i aint pilgrim!
Punch!

 99 bottles

of beer on the wall
Get em in the goddamn fridge!
99 bottles
of beer on the wall

 Illusory

pahked cah
Wicked 
Sick
Mah

 aggressive 

 in paltry acts of puerile acts
how's that for an outro? 
The outriggers 
Gaging location by the pattern in the water
Trying living it year by year
Without poi
Without mangoes
With out pigs
Say goodbye
Say who needs you 
You say to your boat
Let it go
For your own sake

 Broken dreams

Shattered lives
Cancer
A comic book life 
ended in suicide
Boxes and boxes and more boxes
of comic books
sold for a song
"We're not taking those to Washington"
"You can drive the truck"
"You can stay in the master bedroom"
Shattered lives
You went to India came back and told him to move out. 

 Crème de nobody

Store bought!
Walk to the cafe
Caffe Reggio 
Cheesecake and espresso breakfast
Rhymes w dirty streets
NYU students partied hard last night
Horns honking til 3 am
West village 
Horns honking til 3 am

 Bzzzrpppp

flim flam 
Ann Arbor
Jackson
Tennis shoes 
Read my lips
Read my mind
Powhattan 
Canadian skree 
To the North
Cree
Iroquois 
Ghosts
In liquor dreams
Say what you will
On a Sunday morning
Blessed be

 Creole eyes

You burnt some cat eyes
with straight up catfish
Sandabs 
Hush puppies
Rice and beans
Collard greens 
Check the mail
Let's get the hell out here
Ah shut up
We don't got money
Oh well 
We got food!
Yup

 Bacardi bottles

little ones
line em up
Knock em down
Zzzzzrpp
Mmmmmmmmmm
Zzzzzzrpp
Somewhere in Washington state 
In a house 
Drawing anime space androids
Yup
That's right

 


 dreadfully bleak

Well it's your own damn fault
Thank god for Luna 
the moon was not even shining
The stars were dead
You were done

 You wandered

broke but you had vision
Unfortunately your eyes were going bad
You got a job as a bus driver for Greyhound
and didn't tell anyone
The doctors said they could fix yo up
so you quit and started washing dishes at a Chinese restaurant 
The cooks had all been brought over from China and they all lived together in the same house
One night one of the cooks was squatted down chewing on a ducks foot
"Is that all they feed you?!"
"THIS DELICACY VERY GOOD"
I quit and went to work at a National Park
The pay sucked but there were lots of young outdoorsy women
Elizabeth said we should get jobs at a motel in Sparks
I dumped her
Rosalynn said I had no ambition
I fucked her many more times
Carol had a lazy eye
I told her the joke about the guy with the wood eye

 A frosted sandstorm 

Sturmundrang
fleabit 
Old tires and
lazy wives
Mocktails and day walks 
To the pharmacy
Insurance denied
Have a crescent roll
Spreading it on thick 
To disguise the truth
There's no hope
You are doomed
What else is new?
The Knicks are in the finals?
My god, but that suit?!
C'mon you were most stylish guy in the NBA
Peel back a bit 
Ah well things change

 I'll cut the modest cord

Redirect the phalanx
Eat a banana
Stow macaroons by the sea
Stand by the sea
Read books of sand
Broken shell biographies
Of steamboat cap'ns
And merry swabs
(No poop deck)
Fossilized remains of large seaweeds
Antibiotics bottles floating and lost from a garbage skow 
Oh happy days once again!
Happy happy days!
