if the accident will

we shivered underneath neon signs proclaiming our deaths
we picked through the rubble to pass the time
listened for ghost transmissions under the pile
i thought i heard you laughing
i thought i heard you sing
we waited for rescue but none ever came
now they fly overhead not to save us but to watch the dwindle
so in an old parking lot we wrote in the dust from fallen buildings:
'we're still alive, so fuck you'

parachutes

|
every aircraft is a wish to be something else
every preacher crying wolf is much the same
no life parachutes
we lull ourselves to sleep with shrines and prayer beads
pacifiers for the infant in-group masses
no more washing feet in private ceremonies
let's write requiems for primitive beliefs
no life parachutes

i have a lake
02:25
|

|
i'm going down to the caverns
will you join me once again
all i'm asking for is a level playing field
so lay down your spear
if you enter that palace of wonders
trust me – i won't forge ahead again
and if you're thirsty, i have a lake:
there will never be a shortage
