.ignite.
when i try to tan
i burn
and everything i make
i burn
and every life i shake
i burn
and every coffee break
i burn
and every winter night
i burn
and every time i write
i burn
and every summer storm
i burn
and when i try to warm
i burn
.discipline.
i was raised on broadway
and catholic mind pull
but all that taught me was
to be mindful
of what i was doing
and when
and if i should do it
again

Stop the "Intimacy".
jamaica station. train waiting:
Stop the "Intimacy"
[ mozart mozart mozart ]
the rhymes have stopped. it's impossible to tell which cloud of
smoke they left on. blurred vision is all that remains (i wouldn't
want to take it with me, either). i'm not a mass e-mail, never
forget you kind of gal. more and more each day i play games.
remember before computers when things were simple and written
down? we take liberties now and nobody cares.
this train just brought the sun in. wrong track, though.
i guess i'm not going home.
i wonder if she knows how loud shes talking or that someone's
writing about her. now it's the beep beep of cell phones or the eep
eep in my head.
his voice calms me down. each time is a mental tattoo. every day
and then some. it's not doodling, it's passion. she blew it, i think.
will i bore her, you think? it might be exciting cause it's new.
coffee stains.
