It's Just Been Confirmed
It's Just Been Confirmed
they've been out all month
without a sound
send artists to sketch their locations
gospel singers for prayers and blood
sent to investigate
how we're living now
they missed all deadlines
while eating up funds
rumors of mutinies
amongst the squad
silhouettes of bankers
ad agency start-ups
while feelings of introverts
and the sensitive have been crushed
It appears as if
the lost poetry department
has in fact gone
AWOL

In the sprawl
In the sprawl
in the sprawl
cars are sharks
trucks
don’t stop
through miles
only described as
nothing
at all
can’t be home
bones in holes
everywhere
you walk
giving off heat
windows smudged
don't got no
camouflage
with me there's
time to see
moving patterns
on the wall
doubts have grown
wings and arms
what was once banal
now feels hysterical

命
inochi samba 現世 サンバ
most you need
just seconds of
few last more
than a lifetime long
some flavor the night
one leaves a scar
times you just
vanish with the dawn
waking up to see
if the song holds
believing there's more
in the way it goes
others can't think
or see your way
randoms will get you
lots more won't stay
all appearing
from day to day
as innocent
animals in pain

The One
The One
was working on the last one
when the next one had arrived
boss yelled “hurry up” you’d think
we were all dumb and blind
had to get a photograph
at least keep the image in mind
closest I’d come to perfection
now out of sight almost alive
one day I’ll get back to it
one day I’ll get another chance
my only palliative thinking about it
with my hands
I was dreaming of the next one
when the last one lay dying
gave it all my medicine
all my income and it barely survived
now I’m here with no one
and my time’s almost up
without any consolation
I face a new world on my own

Suspicious Character
suspicious character
pulled off the line
no one’s buying your alibi
who’s taped up your smile,
suspicious character
bombed the interview
dating to eat for two
a request to change
your point of view
on these
important matters
something in your eyes
makes us nervous
looking outside at the day
without a purpose
want to make sure you’re safe
before you hurt us
it’s how we’re living today
nothing personal
