 Frustration
picture17 Dec 2005 @ 05:19
...............

frustration
sits in the stomach till it blasts out in a scream
CDs fly
shoes untie in the middle of a rampage

telephones answer in electronic drones
nobody homes when somebody's needed
time runs out when a little more would suffice

a pile of obstacles lie in one's path
frustration takes on weight of wrath

calm cool
sounds like a fool
when life is so obviously urgent

too many balls juggled
too many falls
too much
too loud
too impotent

frustration cloys
air passages clog
impossible choices
again come the voices

you should, you could've
you need, you didn't
you, you,
the voices nag
the voices, the chorus of voices

frustration
like a claustrophobic cubby hole
joy withers, the walls close in
frustration

 Lookin for a Miracle
picture12 Dec 2005 @ 18:59
..............

lookin for a miracle
lookin for a miracle
been down so long
lookin for a miracle

playin Parker down the dusty road
truckful of shit pours its load in my way
it's all the same, brother
it's always this way, sister

lookin for a miracle
lookin

long shot sunset spills her tomorrow
fog engulfed future teases her tonight
it's painted by number
it's a cartoon on a bender

lookin for a miracle
lookin for a mirror
lookin for the high priestess high heyday
lookin for the mt. olympus in the valley of yesterday

Dizzy spills his guts and guzzles peanuts in the crowd
while folks spill their bourbon, passing bullshit
laughter in backwater bistros

lookin for an answer
lookin for an answer
the feet keep on goin
while the soul's lost in dreamin
with tractors pointed nowhere
plowing fields growin nothin

and we're lookin for each other
and we're listening out for voices
and it's gonna be a miracle
if we make it through the day  More >

a flaming sandstorm
screams maelstroms in my mind
fire–eyed phoenix wails
re-birthing through infinity's scales

a wild-eyed artist
overturns paint cans from mountaintops
a sunset with no conception of time

begone the beige of blandness
forge pigments where no colour's found
turn it on, blast it wider, sing the sky alive  More >
