Friends in Love

you are a key along a car door
imperfect line
i didn't see until i got home
now every time
gas station attendant
takes his coffee
extra light with splenda
feeling sorry
for friends in love
bills take the lead on a sunday
imperfect mass
i fall asleep lose my money
on public grass
herschel walker made
the wrong decision
now he spends his mornings
feeding pidgeons
friends in love

Shannon Smells Gas

shannon smells gas
so i think she's going to pass
on the basement show
that is happening downstairs
she called the police
and the police are on their way
now that girl is nowhere to be found
i said, "have you seen shannon?"
they said, "dude, who's shannon?"
"there was never anyone here named shannon"
it's like that girl doesn't exist
shannon smells gas
at the basement party
and she called the police
and then she straight up disappeared
it's like that girl doesn't exist

Love Song

i love it in the morning when you're warm and cozy
when i call you cute your cheeks get red and rosy
you taught me how to float and backstroke too
when i look in your eyes baby i swim in the blue
can you hear the sound in front of your head
they said the sun is getting low
we'll have to find another way home
on a bright sunny day when your dress is yellow
we share some kisses and i get real mellow
roll the windows down and let's cruise to the park
hang around under trees and drive home when it's dark
can you read the sign in front of your head
they said the price is getting low
we'll advertise another way home
can you hear the sound in front of your head
they said the sun is getting low
we'll have to find another way home
can i hold you in my head

In My Feelings Pt. 2

this is a hunger grind
8 points on dotted lines
what whets the coarser mind
is talk talk talk
this is a milk fed day
chasing the left hand wave
what pinches salt away
is talk talk talk
satisfied by, chastened by
hunger on sunday night
i'll call if it's alright
salt flats for dotted lines
milk crates on monday night
i'll call if it's alright
red pills for orange rinds
wealth funds on wednesday night
i'll call if it's alright
glue traps for scarlet wines
i'm sure i keep you fixed like gravel under shoes
i'm sure it has nothing to do with you
i'm sure that hunger is just nested russian dolls
is just talk talk talk
hunger on sunday night
i'll call if it's alright
salt flats for dotted lines
milk crates on monday night
i'll call if it's alright
red pills for orange rinds
fair hikes on friday night
i'll call if it's alright
hub cabs for railway spikes
i'll call if it's alright

folds desire like kitchen cloths you stack
holds desire like a rock on atlas' back
freezing when you're there
in the old basement cafe
strange as when you stare
the tax man wins the day
the old man's quick to ring you up
he's tired and getting out is so tough
the candy's sweet, the sidewalk's rough
won't you take your loving down
the steps don't lead a single place
you're tired of turtles winning the race
the red wine stains the old man's face
won't you take your loving down

seen him talk to the pretty girls
twitching like a fenlayson squirrel
where's he go when the talking is done
stack glass one on one
seen him talk to the pretty boys
in the basement, grinding white noise
where's he go dancing is done
stack glass one on one
fenwood
seen him flexing all over town
sleeping in a wet grass night gown
stumbling to the basement again
where everyone's his friend
fenwood
anyone would fall apart
trying to be someone they're not

agnes lynagh holding flowers in the parlor on your wedding day
agnes lynagh chewing violets on the walk back to your father's place
among the lonely others
who're walking homeward late
passing the crimson flowers
there, beyond the gate
agnes lynagh getting older sending letters to the garden state
agnes lynagh always with you written on the old certficate
among the lonely others
who has something to say?
the flowers all have folded
there, in soil laid

My Grandma and My Dog

my grandma smoked weed for the first time today
because she doesn't wear glasses on her eyes
she thought it was a cigarette and took a couple hits
now she's baked like her homemade apple pie
and i said hey grandma what'd you think
and she said it was pretty cool
my dog got high for the first time today
because he eats everything that's in his path
he ate a special brownie that i left out on the table
now he's playing texas hold 'em in the bath
and i said hey doggie what're you thinking
and he said arf arf arf

caught a train in seacaucus
like fruits on a vine
getting fat and sweet and ripe
met a friend in new haven
at the dregs of his luck
throwing bread at ring neck ducks
saw a car wreck in halethorpe
wind carrying sparks
drinking beers in landsdowne park

Men with Wagons Pt. 2

|
waste your time on men with wagons
all bright electric
lay me down young men with wagons
all bright electric
scuff your shirt up in the shipyard
nosebleed baby something's wrong
left hand lining up on the lifeguard
turn me on
came to see the way you freeze your doubts
guess i'll leave before i'm found out
men with wagons

Smooch New Jersey
"it has been a quiet quarantine for Smooch," says Benny Profane, the group's mysterious new manager, who looks like an old
dish rag, and smells the same, "and yet, these boys were making noise the whole time."
At this point, in our discussion, Profane reaches into the pocket of his suspiciously pristine Letterman's jacket - (Mr. Profane would neither confirm nor deny reports that he stole it)...
