Line line line it up I'm barely standing
Like oceans to the sea
Like tired people in tired places
Like this whole income thing and every other thing
And then the trailer parts of trailer trucks all lined up at the Pepsi Distribution Center waiting for the truck parts to come and take them places
Drive up windows for fast food and banks and coffee
Tshirt shops on boardwalks on beaches
All that wood out in the sun all summer long
Hurricane shutters, shatter-proof glass, childproof bottle caps
This over time and that over time and you, too, over time
Think about the last time you took a good look at the sky and what you were feeling right beforehand
Or the last time you saw someone driving with their turn signal on and didn't know it
What train tracks do
What chainlink fences do
Any job well-done
And then time alone
Quiet and alone

Mantle and Its Opposite
Thunder and lightning and lies
The things we say about every action
Or a desk and the ducking and the covering
Thursday is a day and so is Friday
Fancy everything, the ground we walk on, moments after the rain stops
The last slice of pizza is not a thing
Line after line after line in the sand
And it's late at night
And it's early in the morning
And this thing and this thing and this thing are all piled up
The way thunder rolls in the distance
How some things just float
The things we say about every action
Or a desk and the ducking and the covering
Thursday is a day and so is Friday
Fancy everything, the ground we walk on, moments after the rain stops
The last slice of pizza is not a thing
Line after line after line in the sand
And it's late at night
And it's early in the morning
And this thing and this thing and this thing are all piled up
The way thunder rolls in the distance
How some things just float

Welcome to I Woke Up Before You
Want want want
Have have have
Private private
I see more than darkness
And days will always vary
If it's teeth or swollen weather
Let it be heat like a brick
Let it be water to my neck and welcomed
Let it be wrapped in anything
An egg in it, a cherry on it, one of those long spoons like at Friendly's
What do you own?
And what is too many?
Trouble with troubles and it's nowhere near time to go
Thatch together so shelter and stay awhile
Like stew and statements and stamen
It's all in your head because it's supposed to be
Have have have

Those Perfect Things That Would Kill You
I'm not talking about preservation
Rings, boats, fruit and other foodstuffs
Not scurvy, not rickets
And these other things come in threes, but not these and not today
Today the real is all too real
Today is unasked for remembrances
Today is what you'll walk into around the corner of you aren't paying attention
A deer family on the side of the road -- mom and two fawns born so late in the season
The old kind of torrents
Turrets, tribulation, trial, tradition
A wistful day has its sad parts
And regrets are what they are
Rings, boats, fruit and other foodstuffs
Not scurvy, not rickets
And these other things come in threes, but not these and not today
Today the real is all too real
Today is unasked for remembrances
Today is what you'll walk into around the corner of you aren't paying attention
A deer family on the side of the road -- mom and two fawns born so late in the season
The old kind of torrents
Turrets, tribulation, trial, tradition
A wistful day has its sad parts
And regrets are what they are

Golden Levers Evens Now
From now on
Frightful vs. fearful
Fearless from froth
Feckless freckled front
Golden great great grinning
Ginned gains gained
Granted
Helping her heave
Heavenward hoisted
Pulleys are like simple machines only less so
Nothing's right from now on
Out of a metaphorical starting gate
Or a cage between your ears
Or a blue heron in a little creek and winter's on its way
Only running slow this year
Today? Felt like a hundred out there
Frightful vs. fearful
Fearless from froth
Feckless freckled front
Golden great great grinning
Ginned gains gained
Granted
Helping her heave
Heavenward hoisted
Pulleys are like simple machines only less so
Nothing's right from now on
Out of a metaphorical starting gate
Or a cage between your ears
Or a blue heron in a little creek and winter's on its way

And Then a Throw-In
It starts once you have a line
Like the way light made dark, before that there was just a great volume of whatever
When is what happened what happened and when is it a model or a map
Let's squash down the dimensions here, place a camera there, some strategic lighting and then we pretend it means something
The thing about words is you can say anything
The thing about life
The thing about meals
The thing about math
The thing about people
The thing about disease
You're better off looking up today

Definitions Define Us and Other Stories
There is a street that is a place
There is a place that's in your heart
There is a heart in the Delta
There is a delta in your velocity
There is a velocity to my madness
There is a madness to my velocity
There is a velocity to my madness
There is a madness to my velocity
There is a velocity to my madness
There is a madness to my velocity
Water warps wood and things come apart
We're not built for watching the grass grow, but that makes it no less important
Like paint drying and water boiling and continents moving apart
Like the moon becoming round
I didn't mean to tell a story about comet strikes or shooting stars
I didn't mean to tell a story about all these things I have
I've never broke my leg, but I've dreamt about it

What I Mean Is We Need It All
What I mean is which one goes first
Or leaves first
Or which is which
On a Wednesday
And then there are the meals and the accountants
Powerlines doing what powerlines do
Stacks of magazines, demolition, containers of every sort
The buildings you've seen and the buildings you haven't
What can you imagine
On a Wednesday?

A Bridge and a Breeze
What bounces has better
Bitter benefits
Like waste-water
Like welcoming the dead
Like-minded, like-mannered
My last wish or trick or tremble
Breathing is a trick if you are inanimate
Thunder is a natural occurrence
If you're going to make an omelet
If you are going to make a difference
Half the haves
Bake bread
Know where your next foot will fall
And all the ants you'll trample

Unafraid Again
That's the thing about context
I mean, that's the thing about again
And then this thing about circles from other to make better to really smaller and worse
And then the dog and priorities
The pilot episode of your favorite-ever show
The changes they made
What a good background does for you
How seldom you think about furniture
Different again and this time the kind of difference that's burned a village
Articles on articles on articles
Something like a top hat and striped jacket
Something like a cone
And then a ball
And then the light on the water of the harbor
And then cancelled

What's Up Friday?
Tired tired tired tired, I'm so glad you're ordering Chinese
Done gonna find a whale road and other stories
Sky-showers meet electric shavers
The invention of brunch meet Eastern Standard Time
Your worst thoughts meet my latest manifesto about horizons and event horizons and fudge that does focus on chocolate
I mean, it's 2016 out here
So many ideas, so many people
And then a three-legged stool
And lies
And they're out. They're all out.
