vindication is a new form of flattery

i haven't written
haven't cracked a book
in god knows when
boxes are litter
in a crystal life
and all this confusion
has left me here
in this state of
immersion of masses
and a catastrophic ordeal
has put a damper on
mental capacity
a mental paraplegic
my arms wave
but my legs remain still
physically I am there
but mentally I am not all here
cardboard boxes
insatiable fears
when a world comes together
and the world disappears
coffee pots are the only thing
that make sense in a world of
crystal clear reasoning
and cardboard box fears

(the move is all but complete, we have amanda's entertainment center, futon and couch to move, but with the living room at the apartment the center for all of our empty stuff at the moment, we haven't the room to move big things.  mine and amber's room looks pretty damn amazing with the exception of the boxes we still have to unpack.  i will take pictures when we are done unpacking.  we are getting internet/cable tv on july 8th, so hopefully no more long breaks between posts.)

until i can thank you

this could be it

spinach in my teeth never got me down

i opened my eyes and i saw that
i am the fucked over catastrophe
who begs life while smoking nicotine trees
eats, shoots and leaves
then it all starts again
because like vapor in the sun
i am on the run, running running, gone
got to get out on my own

i opened my mouth to talk and said that
i am the blubbering fool
who talks in haikus while reciting time
wrong numbers and hang ups
then it all starts again
because like ice cream in the sun
i am on the run, running running, gone
got to get out on my own

i opened my ears and i heard that
i am the one talking in circles
who listens intently while counting your lies
appositive, hyperbole and a red herring clause
i start count over again
because like ice swans on your wedding day
i am on the run, running running, gone
got to get it on and on
