I've got a picture of you
blonde hair, brown dress
slowly walking down the stairs
There's too many here, talking at once
make them go away
The sidewalk is wet hang on to my arm
oh, please stay
There's a crack in the road
watch out!
I'm on your side, be on mine
Which way do we go? Yesterday's already gone
Tomorrow won't come. We're left with today
I've got pictures of the past
(all our friends and dinner guests)
water damaged and ripped apart
I was walking down memory lane

Have mercy. Have mercy.
Have some shrimp here
in the big room
on the bottom floor
of the hotel. Stand
at the small table and talk
with others in your field.
Make new knowledge, network.

If I could but see you naked
If you would fall down and please me
If from a butterfly you'd revert to a cocoon
That would be so great
Then I would be so happy
If you get a tattoo
Then tattoo your behind
With the red, white, and blue
Why not and show your pride?
When you come back to this planet
from your adventures you don't know why or where from
Don't be so slack!

Pour your potential
out of a flat pack, add water, and
you suddenly exist,
but not for long.
Huge face paying
a moment of attention
then looking away.

You said I sound like Neil Young, so I learned a song by him
I have a history of being other people
It's a blessing; It's a curse
We're all a collage, nothing original
We're all just absorbing material
Robert Johnson sold himself to the devil
It's all a myth; it's all a lie
Everyone wants to be someone special
But it's never ever good enough
We're all just average material
Capable of small miracles
I just wanna be something original
I just wanna be something meaningful
I just wanna hear something original
I just wanna hear something meaningful
We're only original in the arrangement
Of the parts we assemble

Have mercy;
little creatures
in the huge cube
in an even huger cube.
On a block of a once-huge city drawn
by creatures who love
to own rectangles and squares.

I need to take a walk in the sunshine
I need to take a break from my head
Stop shouting at the sunbathers caught in the rain
the sun will come back again
The storm clouds come rolling in and rolling out
I can't predict the day
Sometimes I think we're in boats tied to the shoreline
back and forth back and forth
what a bore!
The shoreline is burning
No one's out playing
The sun will come back again

sink....

You swim with the others
for a few days,
then whatever makes you move
leaves the pool, perhaps
gets an Uber to the airport, your shape,
all exoskeletal and shit,
sinks
to the floor.
