Parallel Thoughts

seem to favour ingenuity
building block and tuesday magazine
live inside a periodic scene

moving forward on another line
you have turned it off and you will find
unrelated influenza high

Carousel

unplug the phone
you will never see, you will only read
unlock the door
with will exercise, you will feel alive

every opinion is waiting to see at the table i saw you appear

something it took while the rabbits revive in the house eating missiles and soil
roaming around in a telephone line on a something residing in oil

picture me on the roof of your garden shed
it's such a great height
i couldn't com down from there
you are so high up, you are feeling stuck

you can see the people
all the colours that you feel
walk around play a game
be the colour be the fame
play the places and do the deed
live in perfect harmony

Southern Jets

i can try a mile or fly away to flow on silver shades
but me i don't give in
i am slightly inclementing row around in southern jets
but me i don't give in

fluttering a baby tries to sleep it off on mother capsule
baby gets a raise, baby has a go
symbolism leaking out of budging skies and melting caps off
baby coming down

is it all in head?
a red book comes alive to take a picture
reason to feel doubt, reason to give out
blubbering in third floor windows
shuddering in curiosity- a little doubt
living with and out a face to see

one, two, three, you see me
walk with flowers overhead
you'll survive
in a century, compromised

Under the Bridge

on a screen something could appear
on a marble ridge
slowly coming on to light a beam
inking on a pane, covering a day
pulling on a piece of string

and if you pull, it will all come down
lighting a room, waiting on a cloud
looking away, chiseling a line
making a play, looking at the time

of course, trying it again
making up a word
talking in another way
to speak in the usual terms
what is there to say?
what is there to pull us through?

shadows of spring, slowly dripping off
candles and wings, making for the north
catching a wave, sitting on a line
making mistakes, happens all the time
thinking of words, that convey the truth
talking of verbs, making up a truth
casting a line, walking on the side
watching a tide

Singular Undoing

are we in a new age?
or are we sat around waiting for the lights?
are we really through with
making up for the silence by posting the dark

singular undoing
a lady is looking for milk in a draw
making and removing
the stops that behold one centrifugal night

a blinding and working old soul
a motionless horrible goal
a step right in two on a fog
break wrap the new on a log

Setting a Scene
so familiar with this, and making a screen
to put it all through and link up the words
to prettier things, a sentence you wrote
untangle and press it in for a while

something tonite, a scenery
see a place to do right, with emptiness
runs around in the dark, unclear to me
how the story begins to shape up

well, i saw her around, up elm grove and third
she told me to wait, and give her a hand
in silent regard, i lift myself up
and give her the help that she asked for

something tonite, a scenery
see a place to do right, with emptiness
runs around in the dark, unclear to me how
the story begins to shape up well
with light and before, setting a scene
and taking a right, blissfully
well, a colourful mess, setting me up
to come in and see what's going on

you're infallible, in control, you remain

Sitting in a Tree

three little birdies sitting in a tree
i saw them there
one saw a manatee waking up to wait

in the simplicity
making up a breeze from far away
some periodically making up a scene

The Record Album

i made a friend when out today (his name was ben)
i never know what to say (but then again)
i go to him when i'm around (he's always round)
i am in need of different sounds (and he will play)

records i've heard before (and he will play)
it's hard to recollect this one (and he will play)
i'm pretty sure i've heard this before
(yeah he will play)
i'm in up to my neck

walking around and shooting some (until we close)
he locks the door so no one comes (the shop is shut)
we hang around and talk some more (so well i guess)
there's nothing new but it's interesting
(and then he plays)

records from long before (both of ourselves)
i really love this song (it’s pretty swell)
but did you hear the one before? (i know i know!)
it really makes my day (so do you want?)
yeah i think i’ll take these ones (i’ll add em up)
it really makes my day (what when you buy?)
yeah and talk to you of course (i’ll say goodbye)
and see you again, ben

L.A.

l.a. i don’t know what to think, my heart is really on the brink
i’m moving out to where you are, just tell me that it aint too far

a countrys length from san fran to l.a.
my countrys length is more than one whole day

l.a. i don’t know where i am, i need some reassurance, man
this town is really so far out, and i don’t know if i can live without you
l.a. i don’t know what to do, my heart has pulled me here for you
without a reason or a word, of truth to justify this birds flight
out west
birds fly
out west

a countrys length from san fran to l.a.
my countrys length is more than one whole day
i’m moving here, within the year
i hope that you, will love me too

Motion Picture

lighted up the moview screen, now it’s dark
came to see the movie but now it’s dark
all around the seats are just empty lines
all the actors reading out empty lines

double feature now it’s the second half
hope it’s not so boring i’m strung apart
filling up the screen with a funny face
people try to find a seat there’s no space

you are so unreasonable
i try so hard, but nothing comes

now it’s over and all the lights are on
wasn’t too fantastic but i had fun
walking out i see people at the side
queueing up to see the next motion picture
