swim in

it took a silent samurai to pull back the
fragile skin
his training SO precise
on weekends hes the preacher, on weekends
we're the congregation
a silent samurai already knows this

pour me another bone bath
while i quote his benediction

the silent samurai is praying for all of us.

it on

on stairs, on a ceiling,
on stares, and on sealings
on once more vacations to radio stations
with valuable minds
caught in analog time

sold on

Who's got that Mexican fire grass
I've got the black whiskey blues

A smile without venom's not a smile at all
And a shelter without women's not a shelter at all

I'm the black and yellow tiger who's a speech impeded soldier
with a knack for getting over
7 years of being sober

you wanted blood guts

a furniture collector from new hampshire
once passed by me while i was waiting for the bus
when he got like 9 steps away from where i was standing
12 giant coyotes flew out of an unseen forest and tore all of his things to pieces
he was fine, but his stuff was pretty messed up.

religion

are you religious?
are you righteous?
are we brothers?
are we breathing still?
is this thing on?
how bout it, guy?
is he ever going to cut it out?
come on.
