Gift Of Time

take everything 

it’s not mine 

never liked half of it 

chains around my neck 


I’ll spend the rest 

how I see fit 

sometimes it’s just 

staring at the sky  


enjoying this 

gift of time 


why are you in such a hurry 

the horrors will continue 

after a brief message 

from our sponsors 


come here and let’s 

light up this moment 

here in our mind 

it’s not promised


I don’t know 

how much is left 

I don’t think 

I can get more 


so let’s just 

share one last hit

this gift 

of time

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
