as you were
thickener and putty
do your peers travel often
accomplish great things
while you wither
two, three, four
what did
what did
M.E.S. say about repetition
pilloried, duck-footed
and now he’s blushing
inhibited
two, three, four

bombing at the open mic to none
sweating under hot par cans
looking for the prompter
who’d you say inspires you
the river ganges
have you been
a foreign voice says
“user error”
am i getting better
or am i whac-a-moling symptoms
barbiturates wrecking system
psychosomatica listens
jesus, you look awful, buddy
you should really kick the monkey
matt and bubba, what was missing
did you ever come across it
what a gas to get caught up
it’s been years
is your number still the same
we’re looking for a sponsor
think of the exposure
well, i’ll follow up in a few days
a foreign voice says, “user error”
am i getting better
or am i whac-a-moling symptoms
barbiturates wrecking system
psychosomatica listens
jesus, you look awful, buddy
you should really kick the monkey
matt and bubba, what was missing
did you ever come across it

ma’am, i have prepared
today’s eulogies for you
people time forgot about
died out of the blue
applicable memoirs
have been summarized below
less than
forward slash
number three
sent from my iphone
just gutted
could i get a box for this
oh, you don’t say
win the hearts and minds
of fickle customers
with folklore
a photo booth
and, of course, hors d’oeuvres
tonight, we toast those reprobate
who could not be here with us
hey, don’t look at me, pal
talk to my namesake
so be it
“a piece of gum”
she whispers
oh, you don’t say

i want to sing that
feel good music
they want to hear that
feel good music
write songs for the fans, man
who wants to be a band’s band
hire an agent
get some press
this week’s internet success
we are dangerous
salty, soused
another quarter
in the punk machine
you should have seen the
beaming investors
flanked by adoring spouses
wring dry who you can
on your way to the middle
hire an agent
get some press
this week’s internet success
we are dangerous
salty, soused
another quarter
in the punk machine
who wants to know

buddy

reckon we’re sick
of talking like the brats
move another letter
squeak goes the chair
i am your buddy
i am your friend
haven’t we all our fixes
image, powder, liquid, isn’t it
everybody get down tonight
counter culture gatekeeper
the college students drink
from your gutter
bonham in the kick drum
cold linoleum
molly at the window
singing “that’s amore”
i appropriate, equivocate
wear pastel jncos to the discotheque
gimme some sugar
you won’t tell him
i won’t tell her
wig and waxy nose
oh, come on
you know how to turn me out
set fire to dissidents
i will show them my heel
i will hold my tongue tomorrow
i will
still my buddy

our bodies insist
on this state of degradation
offset briefly by a yearly
two week vacation
during which i resolve
to mind my high blood pressure
a trait passed down
to kids in pictures on the dresser
pick it up
double time
half that
just right
satisfied
aren’t you mystified
by the underwriter, too
all idle whims
and wicked deeds in 2016
are given equal share of mind
with the ease of one click
it’s a shame
we’re the same
more or less
philistine
have you considered
reconcepting your personal brand
yogi, salumist, read post-humous
an aloof farmhand
from a rockwell painting
“oh, what a sorry lot, my lord”
she thinks while pinned
to open office inspiration boards
pick it up
double time
half that
just right
satisfied
aren’t you mystified
by the underwriter, too
all idle whims
and wicked deeds in 2016
are given equal share of mind
with the ease of one click
it’s a shame
we’re the same
more or less
philistine

it starts with a question
it ends with a command
your friends can’t answer for you
neither can the band
the neighbor’s breeding pit bulls
none of my doors latch
they’re just the sweetest little puppies
but they make a lot of noise
like they always say
you don’t forget your first
a fly and some bedbugs know, too
give yourself away
in pixels to the void
what bliss is indiscretion
to err
writer, scrap your novel
it doesn’t stand a chance
rather, publish bullet points
alongside pictures of your cats
drugs are on the rider
what time do we go on
then we set up in the living room
yeah, man, i heard you
from the lawn
like they always say
you don’t forget your first
a fly and some bedbugs know, too
give yourself away
in pixels to the void
what bliss is indiscretion
to err

forget it

it’s a party
are you dark enough
two criteria
grim speech
all black attire
what gives, sucker
just more fodder for your bit
first rate plucker
of all fruit hung low
just forget it
i’ve forgotten, too
nobody’s lonelier than you
roll your cigarettes
save a lot of dough
cuss out the idiots below
grant immunity when
the offender’s your friend
each walk-in dealt their reckoning
what gives, sucker
just more fodder for your bit
first rate plucker
of all fruit hung low
just forget it
i’ve forgotten, too
nobody’s lonelier than you
grow the food you eat
paint the window sill
wave hello to the neighbor girl
just forget it
i’ve forgotten, too
nobody’s lonelier than you
take the window seat
sleep through the turbulence
nobody’s holier than thou

so long to innocence
you had your run
now here comes arrogance
who knows what i want done
when the credits roll
when the music fades
ready armament
rose or rotten fruit will do
choose one to throw
i trust you but i have to know
i throw out my shoulder
and my sunburst SG
trade my microphone
for a razor strop
the barber of seville
when the credits roll
when the music fades
ready armament
rose or rotten fruit will do
choose one to throw
i trust you but i have to know
