dying but less dead a few scratches short of a sword tossing horror onto the doorstep sleeve cradling the child looking for the thread to sow the limb back on for the umpteenth time this lifetime i met a sagittarius put a few bricks in my structure I'm tasting like five different people the lorax speaks for all yr purple hair jumping the border on a shopping cart following my aries heart let's light each other's eyes on fire all we have to do is stare and know know it always tumbles down in various stages; in various states of jenga love in a field of eyeholes and wine painting with the colors of yr sweat a certain safety net being draped in the fabrics of my home and my honeypot candles of my fresh husk keep time in the timeless find yr bespeckled visuals find yr own to engage with from the scraps of yr spectral intuition before you get too old bridges of coffins never house any trolls for it gives them too much company in the terms of their secret fee the task is the equivalent of walking the length of a spoon in 5 paces but once you wake up in yr bed and they won't let you move you learn that spoons are forever thankfully the spirits play with yr hair cause they're obviously starved it's as close to the real thing as they can get they have three bricks always levitating the secret fee becomes theirs to keep sleeping

bring in the breathing canvas throw paint up the nose listen to the flood know that its a dry flood take account the dry blood smooth out the valleys scratch out the mountain before you climb rewind rewind rewind rewind she says i am an object just like the real thing too confessional uncomfortable uncontainable by nature unrepressable unguessable unpresentable by nature is projecting watch the siren check the underside of every rainboot by that brand allow some things to vomit in a path that blows the leaves away the suits will want their likeness edged into something beige draw them like you draw your favorite cage she cries where is my cover just like real thing unexploitational inaccessible unconventional by nature unassessable too conceptual controversial by nature is projecting peel off the layers to allow it to freeze looking at you down there scribbling pictures of the birth year on your knees take in the smudge of a desert and the grievance of the crisis cat look at it look at you and find first where the metal bones are hidden at she says by the power invested into my first rental payment like the real thing unexceptional uncontrollable reprehensible by nature unrepressable unguessable unpresentable by nature is projecting

oh Candace in cadence shuffles through the breath of the shade mist xe revels in the disco ball world tapping light on xir icicle feet painting it blue in the holiday time and the old call it crime and the young seem to always find a glitter filled cascade in view cadence of the moon teenager xe tumbles and trips over the leaf of a clover and the scorpio’s tail splashes into the stars xes both near and far away clusters in xir eyes maybe eveeything xe left behind 25 girlfriends makes xir want to fly and maybe die but xe learns to take in the love that comes in like a rip tide too quick too soon cadence of the moon teenager asking which way does the neckchain spin which way does the wrong side win how do we finish this episode and sit back for the next season or so

rose vine tangle queer ice angel swiss lace veil Mx. Unstoppable stripes down up jewelled flora makes the aura Mx. Unstoppable red hot ex statistic catch the spell dont miss it Mx. Unstoppable sweet face sour taste don’t go to that place only a 1/8 straight Mx. Unstoppable revenge fantasy their daily ecstasy dream Mx. Unstoppable watch them stroke their hand across their sequin heartache Mx. Unstoppable I’m exactly what you say I am as much as what you think im not wrapped in citric acid seaweed breathing earth seed Mx. Unstoppable red hot ex statistic catch the spell dont miss it Mx. Unstoppable

a flowing brick wall dress ze’s burning up the sugar with the cane in hir teeth screams out nothing but the ivory thinks that the snow comes in other colors and that you have to pay the weather channel to see its all just word frolic, ze seethes can what you write build up a raft that doesn’t sink wild electric fence stare crawling out from liquid nitrogen ze finds the beautiful in nothing really there and in return upon thy wrist gaze upon the kings of this come forth ze’ll call blinking many an eye from before the family of fern can catch the silk and blast the lamplight upon their ilk a flowing brick wall dress ze’s burning up the sugar with the cane in hir teeth screams out nothing but the ivory speaks in tongues and ears and churnings speaks of the angel stricken with eternal cursed yearning tearing at hir robes dragging hir barren body across the web making a mountain from the magma that pours from stretched pores around it

woah the thick grey blood that comes when the gates are blasted wide open at last take in the new colors now for too many years blue and red were not allowed purple was one they said youd go to hell for what is that you smell is it wine you already know the smell of wine is it alternatives so fresh and new but theyre eight times older than you i give to the bees an offering for i am a jagged pavement offspring pray they take me however they wish to take me if theyre able to take me i cant hurt or really heal cant find it in me to steal i just blow hard into my moldy clarinet everythings got way more stairs and everyones got way less feet everyones got foreheads streaking all across the street tell me now you cant say that and go and say a lot of that why read the news when you can spin this wheel everything persists out of spite including you at three at night talking to the raccoons in the ceiling i give to the bees an offering for i am a jagged pavement offspring pray they take me however they wish to take me if theyre able to take me

its fun to be a ghost walking on the underside of the sidewalk upside down nobodys watching but everyone likes to think they are i could be naked right now if i thought it fun and no one would bat an eye i can drag anyone of my choosing down into my negative sky so in case you wonder where have all the cops gone your welcome its fun to be a ghost feeling anything got old way too fast they told me the white sheets are optional i got one that’s just enough to cover my head i spend most of my time at the bottom of the ocean cause those poor anglerfish they don’t have any friends turns out i learned today a lot of ghosts come there but only so many stay in my last will and testament this is what i said “if anything happens that was me” i didnt leave anything to anyone no one knows what to do with all the empty cheeto bags i left at my computer screen It’s Fun to be ghost and now it’s time to be a ghost in bed

lets all go together and throw our heads against the wall dig into our mountain reserve get as much as you can carry lets make it rain the faces always all the same lets all go together blazing through dirt on a hand made machine burning billionaires bones for kerosene catching a current on roads of staples with a ribbon going off into nevermore soda bottles tied up in her hair doing 50 in a wheelless wheelchair garages more like temples that house the mighty combine spikes spikes all we swim through now are spikes amidst a sea of velvet motor dykes patrolling the hall the mirrors drape it over and film well have fucked with the signal by dinnertime put on the mask and play yourself like its 1979 and i hear the mice i hear the mice i hear the mice i hear the mice i hear the mice i hear the mice

lets talk about the frustration of not being able to vent all about the frustration you feel with where you have been put you feel with whats being done to you and you really werent alive until about 18 and even then it took way too long sometime in between you lost the muscles to scream and how every time you opened your mouth you were always told your wrong wrong wrong and when you remind them that they just say your wrong again and in my dreams im in my room again a ghost of 31 and the door is barred so i cant leave wintertime in the football field and the playground society chain to a link fence the rusty items you know no one will ever want to steal remind all the passersby that yr most intrusive concepts can be made real here

about

"NATURE IS PROJECTING" MUSIC VIDEO
www.youtube.com/watch?v=evx6tFTliNg

Stage Two:

Construction. Deconstruction. Transformations. Turnovers. Evolutions. Changes. The creatures of marketing. The fragility of an imagined-or-otherwise ideal innocence. The already conspicuous existence of a set-in human role. The tolerance and passivity of ignored and forgotten vulnerably and internal expression. Language and music in its entirety. An outdated mind algorithm that never had a useful healthy life. The thin veil between our lives and another. Monolithic oppressive force and the time it represents. The consciousness of self and those once or still over you. These are all things In Various States of Jenga. But to each, what is their destination?
