music from an escaping dream or an undigested night in which we finish the great & clever expense reports designed to ensnare the accountant of the faerie king

All the Parts
I
as in a dream in which we must play all the parts but self-consciously the work doubles and suffers as he turns to drink and loose video games
but unlike this dark wood newly sprung up around the house the chance of coffee or anything decent for lunch recedes
when we were stranded beneath the white waves it was only those voracious years of romance novels that saved the ship and sailors
so once properly cooled and decorated the cake of my previous actions could still prove delicious
it was never meant to last as long as it has though some seeds only sprout after a fire we never knew needed so much tending
and we started off so strong but whether we like it or not we’re in a purely habitual forest now
perhaps this is what the song is really meant to be about or could be under slightly different meteorological conditions

Reading Tender Buttons always just about to make sense a half-learned a real language you can still laugh like kindergarten maybe or waking from a dream having to pee you guess what Susie Asado looked like from the tea maybe maybe maybe tea maybe not maybe it’s all too sexy a stupid man like me will never understand and I am as mutton I know she’s from a different book but so what if it rhymes like butter falling off bread to glow too glow wait where are you going are we going don’t tell me don’t tell anyone the secret keeps the bread fresh the glass hurt
despite what Sumerian summer sunsets this dream
Three Dreams
some strange squash
I don’t know how to cook
they hand me
like a prize
though they won’t let
me text
someone I need to
urgently
watching
the clock
…
My punishment was just.
Though I had no
memory of the site they
said I visited. The one
that made the commuter
jet come crashing down. But
for some reason I could not
deny the charge. I tell
them I would like to be
hanged, but they say they
don’t do that anymore.

We talk to the chef/owner of this
sushi/chocolate shop
and tell her
because we’re friends
about another meal
we enjoyed recently then
she’s not
paying much
attention maybe because
she’s busy prepping
she says we should be
careful
of the knives in the
other place I want to
ask what she means and
birds before dawn dream of a festival getting lost
rain through the night again the dream of chewing glass
the dishwasher
halfway through
a dream of the ocean
the mourning doves already forgot my first dream
