Pizza Bank 03:02
There are two kinds of dough That makes this world spin round. Enjoy them both at the same time Eating with your dollar, yen, and pounds. How’s that sound? Pizza globbed with tiny governmental seals. Food approved by the F.D.A. And by the U.S. Mint the real deal. Speaking of mints You get some after your meal. Here at pizza bank Insurance solutions while you chew. Here at pizza bank Our legacy’s in pleasing you. Elsewhere a fool and His money part but not with us. Oh pizza bank Oh pizza bank The pizza joint account you trust. They say that money Cannot buy you happiness, But happiness is pizza So that’s got to be at least second best. Maybe best. Every Friday a masked man Points a gun at your face And demands all your money. Give it over before you say family grace. Just a quirk of this place. No need for mace. It’s a trade-off for taste. Here at pizza bank There’s credit in tomato sauce. Here at pizza bank Our fiscal gain matches your loss. Elsewhere a fool and His money part but not with us. Oh pizza bank Oh pizza bank The pizza joint account you trust.

Bloomin' 02:52
Perusing books you never wrote but plainly publish in your smirks. Tapping into the compendium of brilliance where you lurk. A trillion flares point towards the aura where you breathe; inhabit space. Never before have I changed so much in a time rift of posthaste. Right behind you, I create ghosts who are for you clapping. But you're just living. You're not trying to make this earthquake happen. Am I in your frame? Or am I blotched again? The decision's raw From the voice of awe And blinks you never saw Who morph out of the law And my shaken paws I fear will become claw. My thoughts are blah Cause the decision's raw. You glimmer clarity in war-struck woods where nature's fallen. Revive the mystery that's been with me since I've been crawling. I thought I'd master human understanding as I've known it, But you extract something new and my cover's almost blown it. Stirring pots I once had tremorred were off-limits for me. Churning life from single tom-tom to a vast symphony. Awake from cocoon And I'm still a loon But an enlightened one. I haven't lost the fun. In fact the more I've won, Yet I am nowhere done. Must continue to run Towards impossible sun. Less demand for stun For an enlightened one. Regardless of my dreams, you still have formed a better human. Still hope I flourish in your mind just like a flower bloomin'.

Lil Ol' Seed 04:01
Lil ol' seed So very small A tree embryo In a seed coat shawl Biding my time Starting to grow Knowing that someday I'll get to go Epicotyl becomes the shoot Radicle's now primary root Cotyledons form my leaves No, I ain't no weed I'm a lil ol' tree No more lil ol' seed I'm a lil ol' tree Lil ol' tree Dormant no more Someday I'll get out of here And go and explore Travel the world That's what I'll do I'll kiss the dirt goodbye Forever bid it adieu For now I'm anchored to the ground Fungi friends are scattered 'round Nutrients are getting to me And someday I'll be free This lil ol' tree Now no more lil ol' seed I'm a big ol' tree Big ol' tree Decades past Still stuck rooted in the same ol' grass Infested parasitic hub Best friend's a squirrel nest in a nearby shrub I'm getting fed up with this. Where is my traveling bliss? I thought that someday I could leave But sadly now I see I'm just a big ol' tree Whee. I'm just a big ol' tree. Dyin' ol' tree Ancient one It seems that my life has never begun Same ol' birds, same ol' sky I think it's time that I say goodbye Yes that's just what I'll do My body mass is rather huge I'll smash you all to smithereens My falling carcass will cause some some screams Destruction, mass destruction ahoy And all that you enjoy I'll destroy And soon I'll be traveling Like I was meant to be A falling dying ol' tree Once a lil ol' seed Now just me

Every night comes this pursed old lady Her crumbly hair bun always looks shady Wearing grey with the same stain on her clothes Comes to fix us a gruelly old supper The same old thing poured in cups her Nasty dish that tightens up my nose It smells of liver milkshake I propose It leaves every skin pore fast exposed Death to crimble. It clambers in my throat. Lines my inner stomach like a coat. Death to crimble. I’d rather eat a slug. Does anyone have cow pee I could chug? I can’t eat another thimble Of this crimble. I swear the leftovers twitch alive at night. It slowly rises from the plate upright. And tries to gag me slowly in my sleep. I suspect the crimble’s murderous. It’s making my life crazy stressed. Or maybe it’s the old lady whose the creep. Always knew her glass eye hears me breathe. Always thought there was malice underneath. Death to crimble. It clambers in my throat. Lines my inner stomach like a coat. Death to crimble. I’d rather eat a slug. Does anyone have cow pee I could chug? I can’t eat another thimble Of this crimble.

Winter 03:48
Though his wife was gone He somehow carried on Cause he promised he would bury her Held his newborn close Making sure she wasn’t ghost Raise a baby girl in the winter As the child grew It’s like she somehow knew That the world had all to permit her Played outdoors with dad To plow away his sad Making snowmen out in the winter Over time the snow that once had been so bleak Became a yearly call of fun times and mystique Father, daughter for adventure in the white Snow days extended out into chilly night As the clock swirled by Every winter kissed goodbye But the season always reoccurred The man was young no more But yet they still explored And ventured out in the winter One day he grew ill And prescribed a hundred pills But nothing made him better So the girl moved in With her own kid and husband And took care of him in the winter She reminisced with him about the ages past And all the snowmen that they had now amassed Laughter seeped into the night as it once had Crackling moments to be had with aged dad But as he grew health The virus had such stealth And as in it’s nature it transferred So it was the girl Who left this tortured world Instead of dad in the winter Alone once more The snow became a chore Freezing to his cheeks like splinters Yet he hobbled out To give her one last shout Smiling out two names in the winter Two fizzling flames in the winter

There. If only to furnish your Smile. I just want to stare for a While. Won’t you accomodate Cause you resuscitate And it just culminantes To A fantasy woven by You Straight outta your mind I’m out of mine. And I kinda find that it’s true A splendid pairing of two Understanding is something you’re always there Handing. And it finally feels like I’m Landing. And thank you for joining Cause I feel anointed Particularly pointed To A fantasy woven by You Straight outta your mind I’m out of mine. And I kinda find that it’s true A splendid pairing of two Here’s a glass of time to spend You drink it down with me Fill it tippy-top again Another jubilee Wasting hours never feels like Waste against your being Still constantly amused that I am what you are seeing. Laughing is something we do best when Crafting a connection that we are still Drafting but that seems resilient And you’re so damn brilliant A massive fulfillment To A fantasy woven by You Straight outta your mind I’m out of mine. And I kinda find that it’s true A splendid pairing of two

Lightning strikes and off colored thunder, Cigarette smoke pushing raindrops asunder, The fog is a pool. Try to float but slip under, My eyes full of oceans under glass. Soup by the bowl, caffeine by the gram, I vouch for a desk, but pay for the land, There are trees on the shore, shops under the sand, My eyes are the blocks in the market square towers. A round on the house skirts a square table, Woven like lace, a noose fenced round the able, At the top of the tree rocks a boat like a cradle, My eyes are clouds staring up through atmosphere. God in the sky casts its fishing line down, Lets the happy ones go with a laugh but no sound, Can’t reach the sad ones, their lips to the ground, My eyes are ripples on the water.

Poet's Luck 02:53
I’ve got a pocket full of patches And a jacket full of holes, But I haven’t any string To make the patches hold. I got a windpipe dry with thirst And a sky all full of rain, But back aways I lost my cup, That water’s for the drain. But back aways I lost my cup, That water’s for the drain. I’ve got a mattress soft and warm And a pillow to cradle my head, But my brain and heart won’t find their rest, Those dreams are for the wind. I’ve got a fist all full of keys And a gate all lined with locks, But I don’t have patience, now, To match and step across But I don’t have patience, now, To match and step across And I have a head full of rhymes And a library of words to lend, But I haven’t spit a poem in years, And not for want of a pen. Of a pen.

Word Streams 03:02
Word stream Sweeping through Once they get ahold of you Can’t play both the fields Tensing for the big reveal Crack swipe Now you’re gone Lying through your teeth in song Were there people here? Or was the raja upping fear? Comfort in integrity Swear they’re not getting in me But is the me the skin I’m in? Because it’s stretching rather thin. Chess piece. It’s your move. Flip the game board to disprove Dismounting to hypocrisy Nodding yes to guarantee Word stream Grab your mat A star is there to show where at Castrate your mind to fear Cause looking glass is nowhere near Everywhere I spin and sail Sirens sing to much avail. Beauty once deep in my thoughts Looks like my idea’s been bought. Hi there. What’s your name? Also here to play this game? Looks like you’re just in time. Oh where’d you go? Nevermind. You’re just candy wrapper too. I’ll keep glancing towards the moon. Word stream Scoff and shine Pretend your words more worth than mine Seat belt in its stand You really showed who’s in command Bubbles out your nose Glisten bleak so apropos Ice cream in my hand Seems to sacrifice my plan Dare I throw away The only thing they’ll eat today? Do I tuck the veil Or slowly plan another trail? Ears clogged out of spite I think I will rest well tonight. Handshake. Wish you well. Don’t think I have the time to spell Out my future for The two-faced out upon the shore So I’ll keep the mast away Heading far at last today Think I’ve won this one At least until the next’s begun Word stream If I may Trickles the birth and decay.

Say what you will. The future's already done. Say what you will. Say what you will. The graves are overturned. Say what you will. It's done. It's done.
