borrowing the time you want now 

taking more space than allowed 

heart beats faster at the thought 

there’s more to be had out in front

making a criminal duo in bed 

never enough minutes left

sand runs out between our toes

something in our hearts scream "go" 

to the exhibition with our name on it

things go ping
bouncing off memories

landing with irritation
in mouths and other cavities

these memes

radioactive they bond

producing resonances

frequencies reach us beyond

our touch, scent,

got as far as he can

past developments 

where shoulders end

against seas of cars

he couldn't feel a fit

chased him off a billboard leg

there was nowhere to go

just keep it moving

before the hunger for anything 

overtook him

he'd have to sit down

Businessmen don't like me

That faggot at school

Who preferred 

The company of girls 

Thirty years later 

We're in the locker room 

They hold management positions

They exude attitude

Here to do the numbers

To make our margins

In go participants

Out come dividends

Bottle humanity 

Carbonate it

They're closing in 

On the formula for it

the ghost of what I want 

haunts my waking life

drives me to great lengths

hangs me from great heights 

desires laid out in front of me

like a vista from a hill

I descend slowly then I 

tumble and fall

the fruit’s so succulent 

like a summer in Italy

captured on an olive oil label 

the ghost of what I want

the weight of my record collection
kept me up all night

I didn’t listen to anything
just stared at the spines

thought of those moments
lived not vicariously

those emotions were real
shared from the vinyl to me

thought of all the things
I could possibly do with my time

listening to records wasn’t the worst
making them might be alright

Heels pinch me

Earrings pull me down

Skirts twist me 

Clasps leave marks

I practice the walk

Work mirror and brush

Even if it comes off

I fill my life with machines and things 

I don't think they make me very happy

I don't dream of them-they dream of me

you divide existence in two bits

between plants and cats

Something's gone

something's lost

Your button

Motivation

I'm really impressed with how 

professional everyone is

Despite where your eyes go

It takes a lot to wake up 

Every morning and 

Do what you're told

Despite what you know 

Of the world

I like that tie 

You're wearing

That's a wonderful

Hairstyle

Are we ready to

Make money

Are we ready to

They're smaller

using less space

quieter; air diffuses 

their complaints

compost-friendly

excreting green bricks

connecting silently

habitrails where they live

working smarter

brains in a cloud

running cooler

add coffee and yoga

taking over

without questions for you

except 

"when are you leaving?"

and 

“Could you go sooner?"

I need you
To help me

Break the day
Into tiny pieces

To wipe it off my face
Replace it

With your kisses
I've got a secret

Sometimes I can't
Handle it on my own

It gets too heavy hold
Thoughts become desperate

And I think of you
And a crosswalk button

I've got to press
Effective who can tell

But you become that
Little flashing man

Leading me
To your bed

We could live without security 

Jumping between short-term scenes

Being paid exactly what we think 

To produce images of quality

Would return in new opportunities 

Like church without boring parts 

Like school without low marks

Shares styles willingly

Got an eighth of you 

Inside of me

Maybe that's where I got

Certain tendencies

Someone's nose

Someone's toes

A certain impulse

To go for the throat

An arrogant gaze

That can't be backed

By gold in the bank

Or acres of land

An attraction to women

With looks of ice 

A tendency to go

Too deep inside
