A sign on the side of the road reads hope never disappoints But I know that those who walk these streets think otherwise old country stores that survive the language guns gifts and gold serve as reminders to those who silently shame them pictures of words from all around print the image of what’s to come but these words don’t bleed from our own hands so we put them behind the crown driving by does go fast and question marks will leave you at a pit stop that was covered with dust from thousands of engines -- I looked at something green for so long suddenly it’s red try to pinpoint all the colors why they’re filled with dread fire in a forest now the plants are filled with blood the rainbow likes to mess with me is it something I’ve done you can still hear the highway when it’s lost of sight what was there before is equal mystery of what’s there next just because my words don’t take up much space doesn’t mean there’s more room for yours -- your ears will turn the wrong way when you tolerate the story open the monster look it straight in the eye study the wounds the age the rage heartbreak brittle bones that’s how they came to shield themselves with empty space a cold embrace on the surface but inside you will lose it all turn back to the old days they say or move to outer space a sign on the side of the road reads how the present views the past but to hear the sounds watch the world is to know why it’s crumbling oh so fast

flowers press my hands down in the dirt I wish I didn’t have to take them out because they might be dead I think instead I’m gonna let them sit so they can spread the seeds of some generosity breakfast is the best you always know what you’re gonna get a day of uncertainty comes with responsibility the music is good to hear the floor is fun to watch the beer is good to drink but I wish I brought my cat and dog *where is the address of the avenue I live on and why can’t I find it* household exploration who needs a neighborhood anyway slight decomposition of a face I used to know days are growing faster with some soil in my eyes life tastes like cinnamon but only on the weekends sagebrush smells wildfire in the kitchen sometimes I like my hair to grow and sometimes I like it short but how I walk around is not your business of any sort there’s nothing left to steal space only to pass by when the roots are in your head and your feet pressed to the sky ** a man comes to the party water flowing out his ears sailing back from a nonsense dream making up some symbols so they don’t make any sense I wish he would stop talking cause he’s got a big head next to the house there is a park with a big hill pretty friendly neighbors who caress the humdrum spell the music is good to hear the floor is fun to watch the beer is good to drink but I wish I brought my cat and dog **

it sounds like it should be raining nobody is walking outside the few that are out are on their way home or running out of places to find one I easily forget it does not always rain when people are depressed here we have to figure that out on our own through the glass I know the dew is there but not collecting on my face let’s get you inside because under the golden rain tree is no place for a winter home the current sad is always the most sad that’s its beauty now you can be at peace when you’re asleep **Sunday nights hold inside a tenderness to sit still business is empty and so am I** the storm is running out of patience for the drought the colors are falling down so maybe we will all stop hanging around the eyes are in the trees looking farther than we can see elemental feelings run free ****
