lyrics

we met in the mist amidst the sleeping mister missuses
and slid along a telephone wire until it finishes
declining to a dandelion field
a nylon sealed adolescent zion kneeling groups of ironic friends drugging and dragging themselves between the grasses
picking poppy petals and popping them til they massless
a plastic castle cast a shadow on the static
standing tall amongst the crumbling addicts
humbling magic
we climbed the steps and fumbled up to the attic
and noticed gleaming on the windowsill a bubbling chalice
we took
two sips
and when you parted your two lips i saw opening tulips
and hues of nude newness
then you drew the story of your uncle who passed
a sleek smooth jungley cat
and we mourned and celebrated all the wonderful laughs
that we’d never hear again
and felt indescribably more than merely American
weirdly inexperienced I tried hard to be serious
you laughed out delirious and shook off your weariness
and suddenly a path of light appeared out of the window
hovering yellow over the weeping willows and gingko
and sleeping kiddos on pillows fertilized widows in vitro middleclass minnows tossing and turning in midnight calypso
and as we stood to go,
the doves that had collected in your lashes flew away in the night
you good to go?
I asked you as you passed me by and led me straight to the light
and took your toe
and placed it on the wavering bright
bridge
and we tiptoe tangoed slow along the tight stitch
that arced out of the town and down into darkness
blind we stumbled into some kind of a dark nest
hearts pressed together we lay upon a blanketed space
and became entangled in lace
suspended blind in an anchorless dangling place
our bodies burning as I reached to touch your handkerchiefed face
your dangerous waist
I stay put and prayed for the taste
but we were wasted so the moment was later erased
when we woke up in mountain view with eggs on our plates

your force erodes the clothes thrown over souls of overdosed clones droning slow through the tar-coated roads of each day
your force is a freeway that weaves through trees straying far from the freeslave greedhaze endorphins
your force is porcelain palmed and iron fisted a fire misted by ocean fog you broke the laws of public school
your love is cool, easy poolside joints breezes spooled divine points of elegance
your force is pelican soaring delicate over morning tides bored exploring construction site skeletons

blazing trees under blazing trees
we swayed and seized
hazily walking through a town that was makebelieve
a maze of leaves we navigated greys and greens
changing scenes to a saturated daydream
we smoked weed and went to school and snuck out and smoked weed
and drove cars and went to school and lucked out and hoped it lead to some route with ocean breeze and love vows and open peace
we made jokes and went to school and cut class to slowly breathe
watching eternal sunshine and holding hands
I told you I liked you you shone like a golden strand
in the darkness you said you felt the same then we ran to the fire
danced while the plans we had made slanted and gyred
the parks lit fireworks at the touch of our shoes
explosions of green over sleeping entrepreneurs
stumbling over sweetgum stones
exploring steep unknowns
monarchs opening their wings to read us dream dust poems
I thought: her hair curls around her ears like a grapevine – her earlobes are as surely as sweet as loquats
I am to love you on scaffolding
I am to share in your lustrous laugh
I am to drive through the pines with you
I am to lay with you in sunlit grass
