so communication has always been a consistent issue
and its something we kind of expect
we just kind of contain it
so that it doesn’t impact the crucial aspects
(crops)
I think the weakest aspects broken down here
the shoulder out here
the colder hemisphere
well at least in the warmer months
i think it’d turn me on my head 180
the laptop crumbs
i’m ineffective but never lost sight
where i’m coming from like
loose grip from the thumbs
loose grip on the bait
loose grip on the reel
loose statements and copy copy and paste
i think the weakest aspects found me stumblin through halifax
a mid-century chalet
and an oak out front that was cracked
from an ice storm a couple years back
im rewinding again
the grip of my thumb stuck in a VHS tape
of the 2nd Aladdin
in the back of a minivan while going 80
if im 27 today
but my grip is already shaky
i think the weakest bit the way my hands cold
like blood ain’t running to
depending on where im at ill probably pin it on the altitude
i’ll probably pin it on the altitude
i’ll probably pin it on the altitude
i’ll probably pin it
I think the weakest bit the bottom log 11:40 talking over
i’ll tell you one thing
tomorrow step towards a different order
(static res)
transcending
the only scent is some washed linen
simple but authentic
try to not act hot headed
ideas weighing on me till my body top heavy
Ill as a cross-reference
I had to step as soon as Crops blessed it
I 180’d from my old catalogue
growing pains that were just camouflaged in the sadder songs
detriments to me was a lesson I took in stride
Wild Ohio’s sipped in the booth
why the fuck would i let you drive
I been throwin shit as these walls
While she’s trying me on for size
2000’s movies on the queue
When you told me you’re finna slide
How could i ever change at the altitude that I fly?
Everything looks like it’s a speck
That i buried behind my eyes
i’ll probably pin it on the altitude
i’ll probably pin it on the altitude

future tenses

hollowed out
minimum questioning what it's taken me
or you would think it adds up to something blatantly
i've seen a segment
seen it generate latency
hard drive full of pics
send it back away from me
habitual or the futur proche like my tutor says
and if its right in front of you
you better off palming it
and if its right in front of you
you better off palming it
comforting
to learn this isn't that important
waking up beside a window
waking up the rain was pouring
palermo streets I bought a coffee
2.50 and it's glorious
I was talking to a dog walker
the Doberman was looking forward
the radiator leaking
and I'm looking out for when I'm ornery
i've seen the same bagger each Sunday
forget the number for my poivrons at the grocery
stepping back and take a deep breath
simple put it out for me
all this shit gonna evaporate
i'm hot and it's still storming
hollowed out
minimum questioning what it's taken me
or you would think this all adds to something
well wait and see
i've seen a segment
seen it generate hate in me
hard drive full of memories
i'ma peek again
the futur proche or conditionnel like I could say
and if it's right in front of you
you better off palming it
and if it's right in front of you
you better off palming it
doubled down
a crowded subway sold prosciutto
my mom's spaghetti recipe
in the stainless steel going real slow
the question was
how much practice you really clocking in?
parsing through
i heard they miscommunicated and gave a good job some throat lozenges
i got whiplash talking accented
stale brick put the snare drum on the separate second
child-like like my 2nd cousin
child-like like the second coming
child-like like the subway packed
and my book bag one-shouldered in 4th grade run it
a hand turkey in 5th grade
we smarter than
reading my future between two fingers
you smarter than
stepping in the mall in the middle of Florida
you smarter than
you smarter than
i'm smarter than

couch sore

I heard it's the way it goes
I heard
"When there's no one choosing how the mind and the body's reacting to all that... chaotic things"
Funny how we only got
Rhetoric another cough
Funny how the math doesn't add up
Back then I was better off
Semolina flour hands
In conversation with the shape
Sitting around reading Otessa Moshfegh
Turning to another day
I might just end up a couch sore
Solitude ain't a habit breaker
The island here is a shift shaper
Well people come and go belly up
A life vest and a shadow
People come I seen many of
I might just end up a couch sore
No I don't find nothing fulfilling to fill myself up
No I don't find nothing fulfilling
No I don't find nothing fulfilling to fill it all up
No I don't find nothing fulfilling
"When there's no one choosing how the mind and the body's reacting to all that... chaotic things"
In the presence of
In the absess
If I had a map
Walked just half of it
With some frozen food
And the TV on
Seen a treasure chest
And the blinds was drawn today
Shower curtain body bag my plate
I can barely scarf it down my face
Coming off another night at my place
You could turn the wheel again and it's right
I just got preliminary with my sights
Seen all the seasons break with the ice
My skates double laced so they tight
I don't take R&R as a slight
...
Pull em down for me
I don't have the time of day
Pull em down for me
I don't have the time of day
Pull em down for me
I don't have the time of day

venn diagrams
02:49
|
|||
I lean back as the evening darkens and comes on
A chicken hawk floats over
Looking for home
Looking for home
I have wasted my life
Wavering on the triple circles they passed over
Seen a diagram that put it so plainly
How my heel is open to how quickly my mood changing
On a dime or a quarter drop
2 thigh tatts of a stoplight
And a Meijer candy vending machine
That gumball falling in perpetual motion
I couldn’t hit a bullseye of what i’m good at
And where my interests lie
And so I chew and let it wash myself over
While the horns go
I’m always wavering
And even when the two hands meet
I let the time go
Clapping for myself for so long
That how’s the line goes
All mixed up inside this dullness
I heard that Steinbeck used 300 pencils for Eden
And my paper cup going stiff from all this constant reheating
How it's constant
Wavering like we all get better with waiting
Or 300 for half of it
Thats one pencil for 20 pages
If my math right
Yesterday seen a diagram that shake me
Meaning you gonna have to commit to just one of these spaces
Couldn’t face me, 28 with no true sense of self
I think I’d call it sickness if I wanted to
I think I'd call the moment missed how i’m like 0-2
Running bases off some dive bar plates
While Jesse pays for touch tunes
No sense of self is this shit
Its all coded, untrue
Probably tubthumping ringing through
Playing it back
How chubawamba’s my gospel
I double up on meijer granny smiths before the hostel
I double up on meijer granny smiths cause of a phobia
A cold stethoscope
My doctor had a fossil watch that ticked in the silence
I’m probably goin down with the ship
Wavering just like I'm made of wood
You got something to say well say it
Cause the moments good
Researching replacement blades
Ways to build a shelter
Ways get away unscathed
Back to wavering like we ain't putting our best foot forward
Heard 50 years ago they was all a piece of shit
Composition notebook full of scribbles
And quotes from old pieces of shit
Oh you got something to say well say it,
Think you misunderstood
The way I’m wavering
A G&T sitting on the bar floor
While the horns go
The venn diagram spinning i threw my pencil at it
A hardened gumball spit out into the a kitchen napkin
300 later my bullseye was just a moment passing
The venn diagram spinning I threw my pencil at it
a stoplight turning yellow I turn and look up at it
300 later my bullseye was just a moment passing
Just a moment passing
