By daybreak, they pulled a shopping
cart full of gasoline
into the park
Before dawn, in the dark, on the lawn
there was a spark: a lit fuse of
burning flesh.
And notes in folders to the press
So the bad news they had left
Made the rounds but faded fast.
When the sun rose it was ignored
The system stops for nothing
It chews and chews and chews
chews and chews
but never
swallows
wasted away
I tried to tell you

Fire Escape

I hear you crying
on the fire
escape
You light a match
and then you
throw it away
when you’re alone
at the end of the
day
try and fight the
urge to
self immolate
i don't forgive you what i gave you

Foam Cup pt. II
02:33
|
|

I saw a box of styrofoam cups
split open on the freeway,
dropped and demolished by trucks.
Brake lights blossomed but no one
stopped.
The f l o a t i n g white shards
looked like seagulls
dipping and diving on an open
artery
and I crushed them with my car
into tinier and tinier bits that floated away into the sun
would one day
make it to my bloodstream.
where are you going?

I want to break down every border
I want to open every cage
I want to pull down every statue
And plant roses in their place
But i’ve been trying to
keep my body clean
I’ve been trying to
keep my mind empty
because
i don’t want to think
about what’s justice.
i don’t want to think
about the future.
It’s not my responsibility
and I don’t want to have
another break down
i don't want to have
another freak out
where did we go
wrong? where did
we go wrong? where
did we go wrong?
where did we go
wrong? where did
we go wrong? where
did we go wrong?

Colony Collapse
02:36
|
|
||
Fewer bees,
and telephones
with bigger
screens,
and pesticides.
The more that I
learn,
the more I believe
the earth is a
corpse laid at our
feet.
We’ve gone away. The
comb crumbling away.

Hunger Stone
02:55
|
|

All we loved and all
we dreamed is dust.
If you see me, weep.
If again you see
this stone, so you
too shall weep.
So shallow was the
water
in fourteen
seventeen.

Waiting (We'll Starve)
05:28
|
|
||
I can’t wait for tonight
I can’t wait for a new life
I can’t wait for somewhere
to be alive
a car wreck. a jumper.
a selfish final act.
We’ll starve with water in
our lungs waiting for the end.
