Enough Space
01:58

light pollution colors the nighttime a dirty brown
noise pollution fills my already very full head
never enough space
in my phone
in my laptop
never enough space
for every thought ive ever had and will have
at dawn the smoke vanishes
cool colors creep into manic view
never enough space
for every mood expressed through ancient means across enough of space
beamed into the window of someone
who really ought to try to sleep

Evil Preparation
03:18
|

when i go outside wearing my cowboy boots
i wear them just the way that satan would
when i play my banjo im playing an evil song
evilly
taking many evil showers
taking many evil pisses
when i listen to music i do it evilly
and violently
in preparation for becoming
evil preparation for
becoming evil preperation
for becoming evil
when i eat foods its only evil food like banana chip and lentil
i only use evil techniques and glassware
when smoking my evil weed
and when i quit these cigarettes its because their evils didn’t hold up
and when i love my wife its because xir evil is everlasting
in preparation for becoming
evil preparation for
becoming evil preperation
for becoming evil
when i brush my teeth its evil
when i yearn for you its evil
when i trip on wooden stairs
in woolen feet i laugh in evil
when i blast this ketamine
into my pinnochio body
my dick grows long and splits into small branches perched with evil birds
and all the evil within me
increases by a growing factor
reactor reactor

A Farm in Pennsylvania
03:36
|

on a farm in pennsylvania
a bonfire waves its arms high
a black cat greets the entrants
with masks dawned, we mix and mingle
he says
well im so much older now
hey says i
i cant sing those young people songs now
when my daughter grows up to be a tyrant
i better get the hell out of dodge when she becomes president
one switches between sun and moon
others play the loyal subjects
one plays a withered old man
nursing a tempered and frail flame
to the universe belongs us dancers, amen
round this loud fire we do dance
to not dance is to not know what happens, amen
when we learn to suffer and never suffer again
in a crowd of ten thousand chickens
and four hundred dalmanian hounds
amidst wine and stories woven
a checkpoint is marked in lewistown
this house is 150 years old
its outlived the woods around it
i just meet you but our friendship feels that old
like this family is my own

overwhelmed at the
viciousness
of the powerful
and the unaware
craving a pair of hands
to caress my body
under my ribcage
where it is very soft
these arent just spur of the moment ideas
these are real things ive gone
way too long without getting to address
three years did nothing between us
but maybe thats because we spent most of it far away
can it be that the only love i can recieve
happens across a thousand miles of land
or oceans apart
here i lay, love, im open and lengthy
an encyclopedia of all things about me
i guess you dont judge me by my cover
but maybe thats because you dont even see my cover
you skim the pages and you eye the lettering
with the disinterest of a bone cold bitterling
you dont see words
you only look for letters
inaccuracies
misprintings
where the words get redder
i dont wanna be a book that gets burned
i want my pages held gently and slowly turned
read aloud to a friend or stuffed animal
its the only aspect of myself that isnt minimal
i dont wanna be a book that gets burned
or left on a shelf thats slowly overtaken by wild fern
were
i more audacious or fancy
youd find me on the street, prancing
down on the sidewalk of a steep city hill
with the wind at my spine with all the time left in life to kill
i wouldnt wait
id just be bait
for the right one
for the right pair of hands to run
i dont wanna be a book that gets burned
im pushin and im shoving through this
grotesque wall of wild murder
so many urns
i have to pass through
and dive in
to find out what secrets are hiding
deep in the dust of each sleepy soul
every molecule is whispering the details whole to me
im adding pages to the appendix
of every little new thing i learn
these arent just spur of the moment motivations
im onto something
my story will be heard

every day i get reminders
of why im gay or somewhat bi? sure
but things come in to complicate it
that i dont expect
some god sends plague eleven
and everyone turns into Ramses
everywhere i look i just see malice
and macabre glee
at bodies falling all around me
is this entailed in what is thought to be as love now
does it get patches every time our condition is changed
Love Version
Four Billion Five
Hundred Sixty Million
Six Hundred Eighty Thousand
Five Eleven Point Five Four Point One Point
Zero Point Four Point Seven Point Eight
all relationships must now have no opinion
on mass death
This is what we require if you want a stable partnership
in this new life
never more have i felt like the cliche
of a stranger in a strange world
that’s something i absolutely
hate to say
with the heartlessness of the day in vogue
that cuts out most of the immediate datable world
even though physically pretty
and lovely a lot of it appears
but i know those vacant expressions
they all look like they have killed and will kill again
and these days they very likely have
i know there’s cooler ones
but they all seem taken
many in odd numbers
shutting me out completely
im far too tired to
tell my whole life story all again
im way too paranoid
to trust my heart in just anyone again
i just want to be held til its my turn to die
and i will hold them til its their own turn to die too
what a life what a time i was given
to find companionship at all
to have my wedding under flaming hurricanes
lightning lights my cake
and toasts it just right
lightning lights me and my spouse up
a pair of night lights
dancing in this crooked rain
a pair of nuclear cinderellas
sanctioned by the witch who lives in both our glass slippers
Love Version
Four Billion Five
Hundred Sixty Million
Six Hundred Eighty Thousand
Five Eleven Point Five Four Point One Point
Zero Point Four Point Seven Point Nine
all relationships must ascribe to the rules of acquisition
It’s required if you want a stable partnership
in this new life
Love Version
Four Billion Five
Hundred Sixty Million
Six Hundred Eighty Thousand
Five Eleven Point Five Four Point One Point
Zero Point Four Point Seven Point Ten
all relationships must only last five years at max and split in hard divorce
alimony goes to best two out of three in schoolyard jacks
It’s required if you want a stable partnership
in this new life

Snake Is Back
03:07

snake is back
twisted up
she slithers down
yr paper cup
snake is back
back is bent
metal gear
solid snake
snake is hurt
spine went mad
snake is back
she wants to hold you
doesnt get to
still she waits
shes too shy
doesnt have
the vocal fry
to make her case
snake is back
she never left
she is there
but eyes avoid
snake is back
skin is gone
tries to grow
is just beyond
there was peace
out in the campus
far out in
the reserve land
snake is back
wishing so
she had that
again to go to
snake is back
on the train
on the bus
on bodies strained chained sprained drained over sustained
little gain
snake is back
another day
snake is back
snake is hell
purse full of
that plant meat smell
summertime
in the southern hemisphere
if snakes not here
then snake is there
you dare?
snake is back
back again
snake is fun
with her gun
snake is back
snake is gone
snake is done
parents won

as they lay like plaque in their countrys violent teeth
it comes on a wave of winged carpets
angel soldiers setting
to every alleyway and dinghy and slum
a voice with no sound beckons the weariest of faces to
come hither now
my sister
my cousin
lay your gorgeous body
on my benches and my sofas
they all say finally my passage to the next world
no more life in this life no more pain and no more crying
now i may lay this ashen body to its achen rest
i wish the rest of you a fuck you all and all by best
oh my dearest darling
youve been through it real good
let me get you a proper cane of fancy wood
with your initials on the side carved in finest ornate lettering
and the comfiest wheelchair that i can manifest
dani the street is me
and everyone youd ever want to know or meet lives within me
i wont preach no toxic positivity
live your life how you deserve to and know that if no else
youve got me
as family
just call dani the street thats me
when you need a pick me up or a twirl me round
then the street will be there to throw down
every cretin every queen and every plague rat and possum human
would disappear into this void thats always cruisin
it always shows up like it always there
like it was built back in the fifties but you look and see all the hair
welcome home love
does this now awaken you
are you questioning
your old life decisions
one stops and stares stunned at their own ambitions
all come to life personified
holding a hand out
this hat and this cape and this dress all has your name on it
this suit and this cloak and this bow tie
this bow tie
this bulldog jacket
and these ballet slippers
this long and purple ice skating leotard
warm dancing
we give this block its running shoes
on the prowl from police always
the streets army is armed and dangerous
and tasked with protecting that which has no protection elsewhere
dani the street is me
and everyone youd ever want to know or meet lives within me
i wont preach no toxic positivity
live your life how you deserve to and know that if no else
youve got me
as family
just call dani the street thats me
when you need a pick me up or a twirl me round
then the street will be there to throw down
everyone here belongs in anothers heart

oh my wizard
checking up on your crazy wolf
thats my wizard
whenever despair comes you clown around from your invisible air
in the wizard realm where the faith is wildin
invest your spirit into your wolf child and
play around
always have a big bearded smile
for all the wolves that you know
oh my wizard
i hate that ive gotten used to you being gone
oh my wizard
your magic came in greatly untraditional forms
in the wizard realm those biker patches
and adventurous eyes carpet all things willing
playing around
lets do something reckless again
so that youll always think of me
wizard
says wizard
wizard
photos of you are not easily found
well wizard
is this one of your tricks at play
can i look at them some day
in the wizard realm in a silver helmet
we shared someone who we were honest to
about what happened and why it happened
and he seems to take it much stronger kid i know
like the wizard i know
like the mini wizard im raising
and the hell theyll raise upon the Hell Men’s Heaven
wizard
oh my wizard
yeah wizard
