your vintage smile should stay a while
static state of mind i wait
to see the picture that you see
colorblind kid with the faded paint
never change for no one dear
not for no one disappear
i was staring in the backyard back home
met with visions crystal clear
smoking on palm trees i breathe
somewhere between awake and asleep
after all is all we’re after
i’m in love with feeling laughter
laugh with you until my eyes drown
see it take shape in the great background
there’s a whole other side from the half you see
laying on my back on a tapestry
i know the situation has a gravity
i try to approach it practically
balance between here and the absentee
the median is where we live happily
buildings grow and trees will die
wind will blow the breathing sky
parts unknown i’m surprised to find
the jester moonwalk occupies
a space that’s far but couldn’t be closer
amazed he can maintain composure
in a place where plots are devised
he doesn’t need to be supervised
we all can learn from a man like this
rock to the rhythm on a jam like this
if it’s bad, it doesn’t need to be that
boomerang (stars) bars’ll bring you right back

it’s time

ya win some, lose some, a to b
the moment’s where you claim to be
but you get lost in the scheme of things
ya gotta be aware of the pain it brings
chasing clouds as midnight walks
lucid living hugs us all
pacing crowds of clicking clocks
rushing towards a great brick wall
illusions break when you’re awake
eyes wide shut we claim to see
the true test begets when we rattle & shake
this is how we came to be
you’re better off dead, the governor said
as he kicked you out of town
lonely in your head, lonely in your bed
are you lonely just a bit not fitting in the crowd?
see the moment, seize the moment
see the moment, seize the moment
see the moment, freeze your omen
free.
……
if you read people at a fifth grade level
you’re bound to be recruited by the devil
the type that’ll revel before the job’s done
if it was always first try then it wouldn’t be fun
collapse and relapse, writing to the tracks
step on tree cracks, feel the breeze on your back
dripping mixture, melting fixtures
fix ya liver, leaks with liquor
reeks of reefer, sweet but bitter
please the pillar beneath the vineyard
the nature of the sky is originally clear
this is a point that i won’t defer
but gazing and gazing for years and years
will only make that sight obscured
good without evil is up without down
fire doesn’t wait for the sun to be hot
if you live like a circle going round and round
you’ll never be found like an afterthought
see the sun in the midst of rain
the sound of water says what i think
un-born, un-dying i say
i invite you to please have a drink
