Point
Time is quick to remind me
That I just play at joy
Nothing strong and reliable
A quick fix ploy
Yet stubborn I push onward
I worry as an oar through the sea
That's turned thin and moldy
But it's fine to me
I would lay in this boat til death
I would lay with you
Nothing has ever torn me away
Because nothing will ever do
More than what you mean to me
Even in th...

Breaktime
I walk always with a sword across my back
Poison in my voice warns of the lack
Of concern because I can't be concerned

Crossing traffic in the dark streets
Graffiti a tale of color and change
On tanks and cars and piles of metal chained
And twilight at trailers of half-know...

February
The potion works slick and slides down the throat
The feel is the boon if not the goal
Why would I ever feel wrong?
