have you heard the story
how it all began in the sea
then man jumped out
searching all the new grounds
for the purpose of history
at once he ran from valley to peak
collecting immortal memories
but also he slashed burned exploded and cashed
all the green that his eyes could perceive
if you forget you are a merman
there is one thing that you can do
wiggle your toes and try to feel the earth
beneath your mythic feet
forth he went up the mountain
and named all the beasts and the trees
without notice or sound flipped it all upside down
trading us for an army of me’s
yet still the ocean did rumble
she weeped with wailing and splashed
in rhythms and swells and her howling yells
he knew we would drown or crash
so down he walked to the valley
and slowly he realized the beach
is only around as the sea’s landing ground
and always just out of reach
look to the sky for confirmation
it’s a reflection of the sea
all of the things that you will need to know
are not of your memory
if you forget you are a merman
there is one thing that you can do
wiggle your toes and try to feel the earth
beneath your mythic feet

Whichever Way

“…but i think the important thing is that we grow and the only way we can grow is to have a mind that’s open enough to be able to accept situations…” - Herbie Hancock
whichever way the wind blows
it will never blow you to the ground
let our love grow
i don’t wanna know if we will come down
so baby let your hair down
don’t you know i love the way that looks
let our love grow
i don’t wanna water the tree with doubt
i don’t understand why i can’t stand around you
i don’t understand why i can’t stand for this
i hope i fall into your lap one day
i won’t crawl into your sheltered space
whichever way the wind blows
it will never blow you to the ground
let our love grow
i don’t wanna know if we will come down
so baby let your hair down
don’t you know i love the way that looks
let our love grow
i don’t wanna water the tree with doubt
you won’t understand why i can’t stand around you
you won’t understand why i can’t stand for this
you hope i fall into your lap one day
i won’t crawl into your sheltered space
whichever way the wind blows
it will never blow you to the ground
let our love grow
i don’t wanna know if we will come down
so baby let your hair down
don’t you know i love the way that looks
let our love grow
i don’t wanna water the tree with doubt
“but i think the important thing is that we grow and the only way we can grow is to have a mind that’s open enough to be able to accept situations to be able to experience situations as they are and turn them into medicine turn poison into medicine take whatever situation you have and make something constructive happen with it…” - still Herbie Hancock

Undone

there’s an ice blue fire
doing circles in my veins
but i don’t know how it came to be
and every time i try to look away
all i see is a suspended piece of me
there’s an ice blue heart
beating patterns in your veins
pumping hard for no one to see
maybe the fire’s too hot
let it cool for a while
see what it means to be
there’s an ice blue heart
beating patterns in your chest
pumping hard for no one to see
maybe the fire’s too hot
let it cool for a while
see what it means to be
undone
undone
strip me down to veins
and learn not to run
undone
undone
lover from the mirror
unjustly chosen one

Sincerity

sincerity
disparity
authenticity
plasticity
one time for the online insults
two times for the permanent pencils
sweat stains on the digital sweatpants
profile got anthroposentience
three times for the like-check complex
am i liked am i liked am i liked yet?
keep the dialogue down to a monologue
two track mind with a democratic demagogue
cold sweat on the sterilized heart
staging the pictures to edit the arc of the
pose of the century
the case of the mistress identity
is sleeping with enemies
and kissin on mirrors it barely sees
one line for the on time insults
insecure souls leave their shit on your seashores
sincerity
disparity
authenticity
plasticity
dear public diary
are we all metafiction prodigies?
verbal diarrhea
or Homer’s postmodern odyssey?
i said what i said without speaking a word
Dr. Seuss wrote by observing the birds
he rhymed shit that rhymed and delivered the word
on time and with grace for all to be heard
god hasn’t died yet
he’s chillin in cryo with Tupac
and Nietzsche and rhinos and whatever else
we might lose in this psychopath epoch
so get off your iPad and nuzzle some dirt
make friends with a stranger ask where they hurt
delete your personas and fashion a self
make peace with a demon and build him a shelf
All Right
All Right
All Right
All Right
ooooooh show me something real
sincerity
disparity
authenticity
plasticity

change
a change will come
when we let go
from what we know
the heart will shine
