Cobbled out of all the mismatched pieces
Plastic soldiers in the lost and found
Turned sideways in a fit of treason
Split open at the speed of sound

All hands brace for impact
No flinching, full contact
They'll say that they broke us
We're still breathing now focus...

By ourselves we tend to buckle under pressure
At least together we anticipate the fall
Locked our...

DIRT
______________________

Without a care
In your cap and gown
You lift a solo cup for the last hurrah
And there's a sense that the world is ours
Offer up a toast to the passing hours

And at my worst
I was hopeless and ugly
A figure in the dirt
fumbling for someone
And at first
I thought you were pretty
A goddess in...

I gather lint on her sweater, like dewdrops clustering at the edge of a leaf. I'm told to "Cut it out. You'll ruin it." But I pay her no mind. She knows that I just want her attention. The sidewalk smells like ozone, fresh rain dries on black painted iron fences. The sun returns from its shrouded sill and we sip overpriced coffee in a...

Intro:
I dreamt that I saw you
Knee deep in heather
Clutching a bouquet of
Yellow carnations
A breeze caught the hem of your
Lavender dress
sun-drenched

V1
I woke up in alarm
and I caught myself
falling off the bed
Upset that it never really happened
and incensed that it was
a picture perfect moment

Through the day I was haunted
And I...

So let's take your baby blanket
Throw it round your neck just like a cape
Dispel the fear and get over this in a single rebound
Shuffle round the dusty hardwood floors
Stirring up the sediment and old feelings
Slamming into doorways at the speed of the sound
Of your laughter after a poorly timed kiss
Disintegrates and leaves no room for doubt
That I,...

I woke up this morning and walked to the local breakfastorium. I ordered an obnoxiously large breakfast burrito, smothered in green chili and made complete with some grilled mushrooms. It filled me with an incredible sense of satisfaction. It was the topper of a completely unproductive morning, the icing on a laziness cake.

The reason I bring this is up is to talk about the...

I remembered the smell of the air conditioner where I grew up. It was the scent, wafting from a fridge three feet away that made the aisles of grocery store seem more familiar to me than anywhere in the world. I savored the memory for a brief moment. I recalled the slender dial of the machine, 1970s era notching and fake wood paneling. I could...

She crunched on a starlight mint and each sugary, sweet, bite, burst like a firework in her mouth. The drugs had hit her quickly. Soon every breath would be bliss. Every touch, electric. Her eyes would twitch uncontrollably, in a manner that only looked like sex.

Hours later we would be huddled under a blanket, shivering, desperate for the last great yelp in an ever...

Dickerdom! cried Lorenzo as he carried his guinea pig Alistair.

Assholitude! Bastardry! He paced across the study with a fretful look on his face. His velvet robe had recently been cleaned. A soup stain had marred the impeccable fabric. It would not be tolerated.

Gerardo Menzel had dealt him a crushing blow. His reputation among the members of Bard & Beards was tarnished by innuendo,...
