Millionaire of Time

 Millionaire of Time


I know the richest man in the world 

without a penny to his name 

he knows the worth of everything 

he knows what’s important 


he’s a millionaire of time 

holding stresses in one hand 

other remains open 

to whatever sets in it 


millionaire of time 

moving the clock at will 

with truth and beauty 

you can make the world stand still 


you’d swear you were stoned 

just to hear him talk 

you don’t feel alone 

feeling something like love 


can call him anything 

he’ll answer with a smile 

helping you with a burden 

walking away a little lighter 


the millionaire of time 

spends weekends in love 

surrounded by his family 

that’s how he charges 


millionaire of time 

far from the stockmarket 

walks of life would seek him out 

if they weren’t too stressed to notice

Life of the ****

  Life of the ****   I love your body   I made a map that I study   there’s just one thing   that distracts me from loving   ideas haunt me   they take me out for shopping   through imagination   stretching endlessly   tell me what you’re building   behind those eyes   come live with me   in the life of the mind   we go from the streets   to penthouse high   but there’s something   more precious by design   enough parties   enough clothes   can’t spend hours   talking about sports   give me a novel or a film obscure my mind’s got enough   junk to last months

  Mayor McGuffin We are products of our times  these thoughts aren’t mine  everything passes through us  from sewers to the divine  I vibe on your signal  you wave you particle  merge into a molecule  divide for reaction deaf dumb and blind  slaves to the grind  compressed coal hearts  exploited diamond mines we see through the veil  dancing snake-tailed  impatient for the end  skipping enlightenment  I drive this carcass  despite warnings  from weather service  to deliver you a package
