I’m a ready-made, mechanical procedure Like mutable occasion, a breather I pause—to inhale In the clause of my tale And wow, we write it down Generations applaud my sloth Is it all that I got? I don’t know I’m over determined and overstuffed in the slippery syntax of my gruff Langston Huges used to call it design But now it’s possible for us to waste our time Involve yourself in the mess Accommodate the rest Resist yourself at the front of your tongue You’ve got to Disrupt Everything you’ve ever thought…it sure is a lot! It’s preauthorized Anticipated demise It’s a mutable occasion Of our frustrations! Detangling symbolism In the colors of our prisms You know we’ve been entertaining ourselves with these lies Cracking smirks for supplies The word—a book! Who’s got a spool of tape? The vice—yet a look! Who’s hot & cooled sedate? It’s a revelation just to try to make it frightening I am myself only when I’m doubtful and I’m distracted By the solidarity they are forcing down on me Like a sentence with structure, intimate vocabulary Springing commonality between you and me Is it an excess of doubt and distraction? Am I laughing, am I laughing, am I laughing? Or simply punctuated?

i will try my best just to stay focused on what it is i've been hired to do i plug it in i pull it out subtle forces build our doubts in the people we once had trusted no first woman on the moon no stained glass haiku 'cause letting down the spirit was my decision and i'm both the villain and the victim well it's peace busy peace regardless of teeth remove all my genders and spoil out my name neither loser nor winner 'cause i'm tired of the game yes it's peace busy peace and i am still me just a piece of a piece and the whole infinity i will try my best just to stay humbled by what it is i've been hired to achieve i plug it in i pull it out subtle forces build our doubts in the people we once had trusted but i'm both ironed out and combusted....

High Mirrors 04:36
downtown streets bounce the echo of all place and all time revolt's static glow television multiplied i'm dressing up to drink highballs a man glosses all his mind, "there's nothing wrong with this cat call the pretty ladies--they just like the vibe" oh! what a suburban lifestyle bursting with those floral dresses lawyers and doctors they reconcile a system that oppresses she was over 30 put her hair up in a bun knew her way around the office controlled the warmth of a gun with hair trimmed above their ears matched in style and in grace men will conform and fall into fear their laughter locked up inside of their rage there's no selling my emotions when they get all tangled up in legs death and life mirror devotion to some higher realm of praise... she was over 30 put her hair up in a bun knew her way around the office oh! she loves--she loves everyone i will sell my soul to Death give it all from breath to breath i am not what they expect AT ALL

now i...i remember little brother up to his knuckles in the water and i...i was whispering sister-- you've gotta help me out gotta pull him up out of here in the bungalow on the hillside i was praying for the buffalo i was struggling i was reaching but brother still slipped down into the whirlpool ... ... you are the one like a mule kicking and spitting up the dust cause every single muscle has to pull the moment closer until you've got it mastered under your control cause the hope's in the hoping as the go continues going where redemption is redeemed by the dreamer's ever dreamed
