Type-O Negative
Tell them you got it right here
Telephony at the turn of the century
And the snap-backs to prove it
Something something story
Like this these that but which
When to whenever and so do so so
The water’s fresh and the time times telling
Toughness like tenacity
Terror like waking up too suddenly
Forward like the Monday becomes Tuesday and
Forever like right here right now
When you find what you want you name it
Or maybe you’ve got that backwards this time

All the Dangerous Fictions
Sense tense
Sense tension
Torsion torque testament
Tested and retested
Reset and rested
Relish the signals as the day ebbs
What can I say that you haven’t said better
Is the wrong time and place
Velocity carries direction
Weight carries mass with direction many times
Temper, tender, ten cents taken
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Tastes like poison all in my mouth
Wait and that’s one way
Better yet, hire one
Best of all

I’m Blind with Something and I’m Not Sure What
Or when I don’t got it in me
The thing about mile 21 of a marathon is that it’s boring af
Or it has a dumb-ass hill where nobody in their right mind would put a hill
But you could say that about any one of a half dozen massive pieces of NYC infrastructure but there you have it and you have it just working out
I have this note on my wallet that says, “We’ve been there and precious and and and dark and mannerist” though that last word is a scant readable mess
I wrote it while I was driving and it makes perfect sense to me
For this autobiographical(ish) thing where I just catalog all the swings and phases and moods of our lives these past 40 years ago
That just made me think of “We Didn’t Start the Fire” lord help me, but that shit ruled the radio like a year
Right around the time of “Don’t Worry Be Happy,” right?
And I don’t need to catalog everything that was going wrong right about then.
Pick up your feet when you’re walking, Jamie

You Have Thumbs, You Have Darkness
It comes back to A machines
It comes back to As You’d Like It
It comes back to Sound and Color
We have things we aren’t proud of
There’s trying to change and changing
Questions of speed and the grand what-for
You can have a balcony in you like
We can flood it with Golden Hours
Vista vs. vantage point
The conditions coming together just so

Oh + Well + Oh + On
Why do you make it dangerous?
So many bruised pathways
So much bruised fruit
The funny things looking too close again
Make a circle of it or send it packing
I could share something, I could try and convince you of something, I could fool both of us
What are Fridays for?

It Just Goes
Attaboy is just steps from this AirBnB — I highly recommend it
The thing about preparation
The thing about all these logged miles
There are so many rules and you follow most all of ‘em
But white sneakers are good any time of year
All the alls and the leather tools, too
Like your little dog, like Sunday, like severance and satisfaction
Because one thing will always follow another and it’s up to you to do any stitching
Like the cat when the box is opened
Like another bank collapsing
Like a search engine just doing it for you
On any given day in any given November
It keeps coming up heads
Thor’s hammer is flawed and it will fail
What then? and
Do you want sugar with that?

The Front, the Back
Insignias
Do you wanna hear about the basic things?
The grass?
The fox curled up in the neighbors front yard come 4am?
The firepit made heavy with night after night of ash?
The sound of a ridiculously dry fire is sometimes no sound at all
Pull it together s we can pull it all apart
Pull it tighter
Push off
This is the way home even if you’ve never been home before
