Talking to Everyone

 Talking to everyone 


I talk to everybody 

like my dad used to do 

always keep it friendly 

don’t wanna be rude 


wanna know how you’re doing 

make the world less cold 

something about the burden 

feeling less of a load


I see life as absurd 

with some moments of truth 

health as a gift 

will one day be yours 


serious is easy 

laughter is hard 

implying generosity of soul 

that some kill off


can I help you with this 

I see you there 

this might be the only 

conversation I have 


how about this weather 

that president 

how I miss my mother 

I pay back the kindness

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
