Circle of life Nature calls

On the board there laid a game, Who's a pawn and what's my card, Rolled the die and flipped the deck - I’ve never reached the end

Sultry was the guide this time, name of the place escapes the mind, surely lost all track of time – two licks then they bite

Has the happy trail has grown stale, As if the train is done derailed, If the one-way track’s a loop - I don’t know go ask the owl

I morph and merge into the absurd , I'm not staying here all day long

Explore my epitaph haunting Spiralgraph, I'm not staying here all day long

Kaleidoscope friendly buss, fanciful and wonderous, was the child just a dream - Your culture is a meme

This might hurt a little bit, if I can handle without the fit, never mind it all the time - I'm a damn commercial

Drippings from your brain rain down

what was what and goes around

Mark Mark the rivers Mark - Chum Chum the dredges Chum

Hop aboard a raft of stretched bamboo, glide our majestic river up stream

Sweat drenches from a feverish dream, I care not but can see what you meme

Have we drowned the calls of the wise, stitched and sewed out our eyes

Will we close ourselves to hide, why don't we do it one more time

explained thrice, multiple times

manual caught fire as we brought to light

that's why we're not assembled right

I see my reflection now

if we drift aimlessly

Expectations a’ void in thee

drawing figures in the sea

mayhaps a century

or half of what it is takes to believe

this creation you conceive 

I see you and you see this

conjured endless lackless bliss

Well,  at least i know me now

If my core is cancerous, what feeds the dream and ends with us, perhaps overthinking now – maybe you should ask the owl

As if our ends repeat, what stops us from the ending before, what if I find you to be a bore -  anyhoo here’s some more

Shall we flow on lopsided time, grip tight my hand we’ll climb right in, toward our oblivion – headfirst plunging in

Towards the horizon now, where we go is where we were, stretching into the infinite– I see metric time

Fire, Ignite, Fire, enflame

Deep to the depths cesspool crescendo, on top of crumbled institutions  

Eyes dim and fade that I shall follow, pressure fills the eyes with pain and  

Paraphrase the radio sideways, drone of voice it bothers intensely

Forever to them is something further, whinge and moan and go on and on

Grasp at the years long forever fade, never coming back from the void of killing time

Whence does it strive and drive and thrive, where is that sanity I left it right here

Journey toward the final destination, one more hill to climb and die on

Mortal shell dimensional shift gone sideways, skip this timeline entirely

What do you even know (where mortals merge or diverge)

When do you even have the time (when space folds to collapse)

Clear water burning, rivers receding

Desolation of the land

Shufflin’ on towards the bridge of ideals, just to watch it burn and implode

As the city towers above all, the gasp of the crowd drowns the fool

Wealth is the only speech they speak, carcinogen plague at their feet

When the order topples over, it’s always the poor to pick up the pieces

Fight, Flight

I can’t right now

The horde build some structure to the gods, who even listens or cares anymore

Beyond the scope of the limits of the mind, perhaps to rationalize our existence

Once a drop or two of juice in a bucket, the cells combine and divide the riches

If I had a dollar for the times I was right, I’d be able to offer you change

Stuck my hands in the cookie jar, don’t you know it’s empty

Come right down to get down

Knocks at the front door, don’t you know don’t answer

How is this helping? I don’t know it’s all insane

Sitting in the dark gazing towards the empty unknown

Words fall on the floor spoke by no one for one to hear

 If these shoes weren’t full of holes they’d walk me out of here

Holes fill these pockets inside out like the promise you made broken truths and forever lies

Decompressive Mind, unloads the schematic plan, static to stoic hand, can't grasp or make demand,

hindered to never move, in the dark and weighted down, events untold repeat, forever numb and incomplete

Lucid tethers fold, subtle slumber mold, phasing from place to place, basking in fears embrace,

one more place to go, where he first lost his mind, in place stands the husk, damn I miss his musk

One day is melted, blend in the decade, eons aggression, epoch depression

Defunct construction, connect disruption, soul damp to collapse, aftermath relapse

Floating drifting
Slipping tripping

Find me,

in the neurons pain, in reoccurring shame, where the vessels split, where the demons sit

Fortune in the palm, has no claim to tomorrow land, booted progress slump, forever stuck in this dump,

flee the dream and reality, foreign land another ploy, how's the weather where you are, here is strange and so bizarre

Run away, or else delay, cross this line, will make you mine

Not bad. U mad? So tru, glad it’s not you.

Wuddya say? Destroy today. Evicted now from my garden

Space swept crust, where wind dust

Cracked rock, weathered away

Pools of clay, shape this form

What could be? Could it stand?

I call to thee, bliss abandons me, Do you look away? D o you turn away?

Undulating modulating pulsating frequencies, mimic mine and I will yours and vibrate in time,

melt our minds collectively and join the ensemble, frailty of fingers stretch long into the night

Entwine wisp of essence our eternities, spirits dance and twine to resemble other things,

defy gravity and take off to the moon, dissolve the molecule and fall into the sun

Rise and thrive

I spy with my eye

Calm split in half, Doom in my hands

Trembles horrendously, nerves pinch the hairs

Burrows deep in mud, drown endless cares

Spring will surely dawn, devours the crust of cold

Till my waste of space, Fill my mind with haste

Troubles of mankind, Planet turns again

Slapped on the shore, vessel that you ignore

Calm come over me, final catastrophe

Cycle infinite strife, Drained th’ very raindrop of my eye

Chupacabra, elemental, cleopatra, on their way

Borrowed sanity by the ounce on rental time

Nights bleed to days to nights, whatever day it is

Have no clue no recollection, mind throbs all the same

If time could tell a lie, etched in eternity

Hollowed out of hollow men, perhaps just the fog

Did the rain pass today dry as dry can be

Dust fills the eyes cuts the lens and I spy

Big fish a walking, maybe stalking, sludge in the water
I been here before
What's there to want then? Mayhaps my coffin, inside your belly
Why would you think that that was okay
 

Crawdad a clapping, Midwest knee slappin, eats his own brother
He's done that before
Picked from the bottom, apple so rotten, bushel a six pack
Consensus is that that is okay

Splash in the water, yeah propaganda, take no bait then
You're a fool if you do
Fishy pants is trolling, lawd he patrolling, slips trips and falls how   
The thought may have occurred before
 

Can't wait to sprout some legs then I'm finally out of here

My name is Doug the tadpole, growing up in exile, scourge on the water
I'm getting out of here

My name is Doug the tadpole, swimming in the water, I'm nobodies daughter
I’m outta of here

My limbs they do dangle, check you later, ask how I'm hanging
I’m so out of here

My name is Doug the tadpole, lord of the ocean, what the hell’s an ocean
I’m was going to get the getting out of here

 
You are not the boss of me, I am walking outta here

Pull the covers over me, shadows creeping everywhere, up the walls down the stairs, sits calmly in all 8 chairs

Dead of night stalk the halls, tips of hands graze the walls, one foot forward cautiously, one eye closed and one to see

One step, two, three down the stairs, grasp the rail and hardly breath, can’t quite see the space below, through the window pale moon glow

Shadows dance upon my presence, reaching out to space consuming, quickly gather this fallen boy, why are you here go back to bed

sleepwalk dream-works

What do you mean that I’m not okay, is my fabric torn and frayed, it may be I’m not right in the head, somedays why roll out of bed

if I had marbles they’d circle the drain, nothing but fuzz makes up this brain, my stiches are coming undone, snags in my limbs like hosiery runs

Stumble down, fell down the stairs

Hit head on every stair, tragically beyond repair

hold my hand, euphoric

Stoic oak door, burden a bore  

static in mind, forever no place   

drift from the shell, can’t feel it no more 

Now carry me, weary my crate

Coaxed to the chair, touch can’t ignore 

Dancing darkness hanging humidity,  

rips into fog, escaping this breath  

Sprinkle your ash, upon my garden

The ones whom dived into the hay within the confines of the barn

Delay the rake from behind your claws dig in reaping skin

Crave, behave

Break free, I’ve broken free

Skipping into the atmosphere with a rocket and my spear

Roll over, And one falls off, I’m crowded

Flashback dreams a memory, games of the mind play a fool again,

Wandered mind daylight time, drift into sand, washed by time adrift

This tree stretches to the sun and turns around buries itself into the ground

Hop a ride in a matchbox car, into the sky, sail beyond the absent eye

A weathered paw will toss a coin into the air to fill a pond with wishes

A thousand cuts into the scales the coy upturns and greets the master

Linens tatter into a thousand shards pierce the illusion, melts away

Too in the mood to bust the groove, to shake it loose, to make the move

Dragged the bed out of the room just so this gloom can go doom elsewhere

Shake this tool of a fool from the other verses open the portal and merge existence

Slide down sideways from the top of the hill to the bottom rung of our bunkbed

Laid a rug down on the floor to forever store the slumber lord
