Me (12/12/98)
I was sitting on a top of a tree when I first saw you there Looking at the sun in a blue sky I wondered if you could see me If you could see the real me deep inside Not just the silly girl playing and having fun Years went by and I could still see you Looking at the blue sky on a sunny day Then I thought I'd lost you for…

Nectar
I'd like to drop every dark, heavy, thought into a black hole and each plastic jewel, artificial flower or piece of pyrite I ever had I'd love to practice hope by cutting off all the tangled and burnt hair (how I'd love to be born completely fresh again without any harsh wear and tear) without heart scars or tar in my…

Where the Wild Cats Whine
Jet black hair and her green eyes shine Standing on a cloud in the cool sunshine Tell me can you see her Can you hear the wild cats whine Will you let her take you home Will you stay a little while Will you spend some time. Locked inside like a wild God’s cry’s Ringing in her ears in the still of the night Tell me can you…

pathos
maggie, you appealed with piped in sound effect thunder and strobe lights from behind the cardboard trees' broken limbs that you had been casting your shadow far too long in our short film the night was black and there was a boy and a girl in the meadow trying to burn a snowman sincerely, john

accelerated aeration
gone with the car's freeway flying open window, hat lost forever in the wind plastic pumpkin left on a train departed small, insignificant, riding the cushioned current with the lightness of a paper-airplane blown high like a helium balloon on a windy day or disappearing like confetti dropped off the roof of a tower so tall

tents and camels
I miss the innocent days those days when I didn't know what I know now didn't know how things can turn on a dime! and also the way the wind can shift from one day to another East to West or North to South?

no direction
Those days of being intoxicated from the mere fumes of great hope I remember them those days seem like distant friends so far off that the houses look eraser-tip size transformed or crushed like copper zoo coins molded new, into something less valuable and fleeting those days seem so far away like a line of cars stretching…

Love Is
Love is... Incredibly devious notions poured over soft and mischievous motions Laced in ribbons, mixed in potions, swallowed down, no commotion Only served in lethal doses, many faces, many poses Violent crimes, peaceful roses Every heart deserves its quotient Yearning for a gentle feeling, every soul will do its bleeding…

I really wonder what that dull woman hopes to gain by this odd and aggressive behavior harassing me like this... I don't have anything she'd want I'm not chasing the man she's chasing I'm just trying to live my life I'm just trying to be myself she'd be better off examining her hopes and schemes and perhaps think about who…

Just some mountains and clouds
