Tack Piano 02:56
Else is discovered coughing up he asks to fetch for me asks if I can point this tack toward the New West he asks for privacy orchid rose left inside orchid rose caught days insist on showing up the Lipton tea ads for light beer followed all the way to work now aces read me to sleep orchid rose caught inside rain cock caught inside
2.
Great Moon 01:50
Demolition derby in a hospital's shadow The beds all screaming for warmth All roads littered with sections of carpet corpse Steaming in the heat Inertia dulls the sharp Dementia claims the smart Voluntary confinement/Cultureless void Held tall with the tiniest threads A great moon shone and we basked in the light
3.
Night dweller Mid-finger puncture Beads on the glass I'm counting the beads on the glass I'm counting all the beads on the glass to distract myself Waste multiplier Sickening clacks Stretch the glass I'm trying to stretch the brown glass I'm trying to stretch the brown glass around my face like a visor I'm making a mess on the floor Someone else will have to tell me why my fingers sting
4.
The Acrylic 03:15
held open door I count the assets count the magnets, the stickers eight feet up crushed by the risk apologize to strangers and cough nervous in the dark bad sign, he's doing chin-ups on the awning and I could I help find his wallet? I find anything else Ace and crew laughing hard and watching for the shakes and I imagine that this never happened but see myself doing exactly this no alarm talk hits as a moral failing talk remember I got surgery, ate junk food anyway talk years ago how that missing girl's still missing and it starts to snow I feel my face on the frozen sidewalk feel it give under my footstep so I stop looking up to strangers my stuck open mouth is hushed I'm fine I see myself walking away *** ace you owe an explanation your marine friend showed up, now the staff's looking too nothing by two in the morning go home, it's the last time I cover for you ***
5.
Fallen away again Given no hint or context Panic barking staccato notes You mimicked all the moves of a dancer in the archway You made me question my eyes and my conscious state You mimicked all the moves of a dancer in the archway I will ignore it against damnable evidence No sense of awareness Of your surroundings None of a desirable kind You mimicked all the moves of a dancer in the archway You made me question my eyes and my conscious state You mimicked all the moves of a dancer in the archway Slowly dawning sense of dread bleeding into the roots
6.
New Alphabet 01:56
how can you laugh off assault? it has a body count how can you shrug off the threat? it lives in your town you're part of it they keep him safe they keep him safe they keep him safe they keep him safe they keep him safe they keep him safe they keep him safe they keep him safe I need a new alphabet for how my being is disgusted every time I hear your name I need a new alphabet to shout you into nothing, less than the dirt
7.
Remora 02:24
The lighted towers call to me Promises of rest Suspension of routine and obligation Blacktop bears its fangs again Shining in the night Perches flicker from afar Pilots wait From their vantage point they're lulled by industrial hum Snapped to attention by intruding punctuation Routine procedure/follow course to destination Imminent departure/mental acceleration Detach and trawl
8.
I'm letting out the bees until they thick into a cloud and they bind me by the ankles spread into the halls where they fix themselves in columns with hands at the top and they lock all of the doors hit all the alarms then the vans start to scream and the helicopters pass the men are rushing in and they're filling me with gas. aces and aces I play on myself coughing and helpless, smeared in pastels
9.
Gamma Shank 03:43
You are a brick cannon My abdomen a paper mitt Soaked in the runoff of fermenting nerves Utterly foreign to joie de vivre I will have better luck Decoding towers flashing out of sync Bending their beams into translatable glyphs Using them all to bridge widening rifts There are restrictions/There are constraints There are restraints/There are constrictions Cleave them into perfect thirds Gamma shank A florid bloom bursts forth After days of frantic stirring Pitched forward into the loam Manifesting in a monotone groan A second set of limbs Shake off lethargic weight Succumbing as they slowly descend Upon a portrait to rend
10.
christ my body wants to give this thing a name I'm diving into my own throat dead pitch in Lac Souterrain my hand on a button, press my flashlight in its screaming eye I am possessed by a drooling euphoria Wipe the spittle from my jaw Imprinting crescents into palms Dead stare like a statue of antiquity
