it’s all good, as long as there’s
no swing in the mood
comin’ 2gether, takes more…
than a show of hands
old shoes, barely keepin’ track…
with the trail
just another day,
2 fake it as it is.
-
y do it again?
if no longer in2 it?
try out on ur own…
bravin’ the elements
=
dealin’ with discomfort
unabled 2 rub it the right way
after all this time
still a guessin’ game
doin’ the rounds
can’t b helpd most of the time
the trick is 2 4get
up & comin’ 9 to 6.
-
movin’ alone
2 a different place & time zone
what a surprise!
same old scent…

takin’ a bite of the big apple
buggin’ little worm

under the covers, on the run

checkin’ evry’thin’ out
barely scratchin’ the surface
loose ends without restrain
comin’ around again
=
confident guess
couldn’t get better than this
daze 2 short 2 keep score
settin sun, @ a loss
runnin’ out of minutes
2 make up 4 excuses
around 4 a spin, back 2 sq. 1
been there more than once
-
2 thin 2 get the hint
lettin’ loose fancy frick
know the drill, pointlesss 2 conceit
this is just the place 2 b

from locker 2 meetings
more than a few steps
2 get 2 that place…

of what can be said
do u really think
som1 has the time 2 care?

when u don’t even respect ur self?

another day begins
things not lookin’ up, the way it seems
while the shadows slowly fade
behind their shades
fillin’ with confidence
in the company of strangers
just as long as you
keep ur distance
-
runnin’ out of space
glancin’ from a distance
i’m in need of some space
so keep ur distance
=
feet …on the ground
steady as they say it goes
ripplin’ under the surface
2 a fault line
smilin’ with guile
nvr showin’ on display
caught in the gaze,
long enuff 2 keep your distance

laid back loaner
blind 2 red flax
used 2 takin’ & leavin’
so little in return
slidin’ down slow
always incognito
no need 4 2 much
only touch & go
-
here’s 2 been there b4
voice of reason losin’ control
get the name, dial the #
cruisin’ on the F, bruisin’ 4 some funk
=
stringed along
evry sngl time
general rule of thumb
nvr 2 close 2 c the sign
up the ladder
5’ers dressed 2 the 9’s
stiff neck set in
with the odd crowd
-
1 2 many ways
2 go about it
placin’ the bar this low
comin’ back 2 bite, in the long run.

zonin’ out,
hangin’ off 2 dry
holdin’ the bag
parsin’ up the stars
-
can barely stand it
lookin’ 4 relief
no need 4 connection
moot point on the thin
bettin’ the shirt
game change 4 some skin
2 many minutes wasted
driftin’ with the stream
=
so naive,
feels like born yesterday
throwin’ hands in a daze
grey skies closin’in
fakin’ ur way here
2 close 2 loose some grip
keepin’ the phase astray
twisted turns thru the grid

all the over the place
evr’y 1 talkin’ about it
this might b just the thing
a little bit 4 a fix
-
take it 2 nurse the pain
or 2 go thru ur day
who knows 4 sure
collusion b4 delusion
=
lookin’ 4 relief
anxiety settin’ in
stressed 2 the 9’s
mood swings goin’ awry

in the still of night
2nd thoughts rushin’ by
frigid on the fringe
crawlings under the skin.

moonset away from home
no1 2 call or lean on
searchin’ fame & fortune
one 2 many 2 really count
-
sisters always worried
knottin’ ties that bind
brother waitin’ in a hurry
as it happens on the sidelines
=
u can nvr b 2 careful
even if playin’ it safe
& there’s always somethin’…
missin’ from the game,
-
wishin’ not 2 hear about it
now that it’s come undone
2 proud 2 dare seem 2 care
moonset away from home
=
stayin’ put
fightin’ the fear from fright
leavin’ is not that ez
when there’s nothing 2 go back

2 smart 2 b dumbstruck,
how’s that working out?
always 2 involved
in2 needless distractions!
-
frettin’ over dtails
more unsafe than sound
@ the trippin’ point
where evr’ythin’ changes 4 some chump
=
strung along
bendin’ out of shape
play’d smooth right off the edge
tell me, who gives…?
-
around the bench
clockin’ each grain of sand
mindin’ the petty things
sortin’ stuff from within…

that’s 2 bad,
@ a loss after findin’ out
sometimes we 4get,
2 do our best
quite sure,
nothin’ much left 2 share
-
that’s 2 bad
not a pretty sight
hate 2 say i told u
prospects not so bright
barely gettin’ by,
that’s 2 bad…
=
that’s 2 bad,
same old path down the line
been this way b4,
used 2 b where is @
recurrent dream,
unresolved play 4 keeps
-
tryn’ so hard
2 let it slide
slightly detached
enuff 2 pull a string sometimes
oscillatin’ btwin moods
so far, no good
=
that’s 2 bad,
was it worth the while…?

passive abrasive
waitin’ 4 ur turn
@ the scale of the scheme
dichotomies from within
-
lookin’ the other way
won’t make it go away
=
is there another choice?
takin’ shape, a twisted turn!
x-ing fingers in a pattern
useless wish 2gether alone
-
just once 4 spare change
a little less, than 2 much…
