1.
Sisyphus 03:59
Diary entry that just wouldn't take When the day doesn't go to sleep it's awake Every clever word I sat and wrote Only for it to swallow down its black throat Something has wandered into the trap History in a bundle sat in my lap It’s a car crash smouldering Cut it off should the hand refuse to write Make an example to the left of the right Sisyphus, catch it and wrap it in silk Never mind it if it should cry out for milk
2.
Is there a creature who is trying to say something to you?
3.
The Vehicle 06:39
Kneeling down under a sign “Prayers for the bomb to fall” Living, hysteria in mind Open to all that drops out of the sky Although I do know your name I’m choking on it again I see sunlight on the ground But do not feel it around Cars are waiting for you Purring, enduring Vehicles are waiting for you With churning obscuring wheels
4.
Bully 07:47
The flashbulb makes you turn And see them both standing there Clicking the wheel of a disposable camera How did they discern To make the shutter fall And where is the bully that keeps us up on our toes? And the whole town can see And the whole town is free A wheel to click and turn This is the animal A man on the riverbank sat cross-legged on the stones The river there to see Asking no questions but Making the flailing limbs stop Sinking in the sand Be the bricks that build my castle, keeping them from me With the song I took from them to chant my unbelief
5.
Let me die on this hideous throne Exalting in each new junk-piece Beating my breast, clearing my throat with sand Clean forgetting, long ago it was the kiss-off
6.
Big Players 05:21
Used to be a piece of wasteground To stand upon Like a boat to an island Take It home From the corners, eyes open Big players, heartbroken Just a speck on a glass lens On your own In the squint of a rifle Laid upon Don’t move a muscle, it’ll get spilled There’s only the holes, to be filled
