stuff and a picture

people don't like to be told what is clearly nonsense(about the way they think they operate).

and now the picture

"sorry to a friend"

I should be doing something else

but love and love and love

and I cry like a baby, oh do I cry

when think upon just how beautiful you are

and love but love but love

holds you still just for thinking

and I cry like a baby, oh do I cry

just to think that you think that too

when love and love but love

comes and grabs a hold 

and I cry like a baby, oh do I cry

when it brings me to my tears

and I listened to you writing in the room next to me.  I hope that you didn't mind.

a little experiment

the one thing

I know that you want

the one thing I can't give

without denying you

Knock the wind out of me (lyric version)

Knock the wind out of me

Is this redemption just a candy for my mind

thought you were burned from there long, long, ago

   are you still beautiful or is this misrecall.

Never is the only way you ever leave

if breath were mine it leaves in disrespair

   do you still laugh

 

Knock the wind right out of me

Somehow thought enters the mind

The concrete presses down (toward) the line

Mistaken jade to breathe

Head down, crawl through meant to be

Sew me back and set me walking

 

on my face, and love that will not loosen

chains me here, higher than I fly

only in a mad man’s mind does 4 proceed 3

 

Knock the wind right out of me

Somehow thought enters the mind

The concrete presses down (toward) the line

Mistaken jade to breathe

Head down, crawl through meant to be

Sew me back and set me walking

 

Is this coincidence divine

threw away your photograph some  time ago

   and at 24 degrees, breath falls

I Wanted More for You

I hope you understand(now)

you have everything (you 

wanted) you needed so  

much ( more [(than)]) I Wanted More for You much

upon your breath up on

that life you

call your own you call

and all (there is to give) isn't me

Or Mine, Or

hold this skeleton and it. can let you

down... down

Response....(ible)

So 

is this what it means to be responsible.

Take what is in your hand and give it to the closest

Open and buffet yourself with a handshake and a nod.

"This bit might be the one you want, sir." offered helpfully.

What is full is clearly what needs to be poured.

What is empty needs filling.  My cup is full,

here have some of this, otherwise I might

spill it on the floor.  That would just be

messy. 

or is that something else.

And all the kinds of things that I should

I've looked in that closet already.

checked it once more, still empty.

Someday I know it will be full of magic.

Maybe here is some magic that I can stick in there.  It'll be happy in there.

There you go. be happy closet.

No, not magic.

checked it once more, still empty.

Someday I know it will be full of magic.
