Maybe

It’s weirdly bright outside
I imagine that the world is hungover
I want to hear all the stories
What makes the universe get up
In the morning

I often wish my work was
Something of the greats
Another mindstate to be had
The writing good or bad
A taste of the ancients

I forgot myself early today
Cried with my head hanging over
I knew that it meant it would
Never be the same

Reflecting on what could be good
Comes from the terrible bad
So I don’t throw the unclear away
I read over it sometimes
Like a worthless piece of art
My critical eyes abusively

Unsure of what is good
Reading through it the heart laughs
“You thought this was worth keeping!”
It’s true. Some if it is not bad

It will read differently
When we’re eighty years young

A little displaced like an
Upside down lawnmower
Making my way
Cutting through the air
Something with a purpose
But nothing to receive it

Where’s the landline
My grounding wire

Good Stuff

Sometimes life is
Like a bad movie
A headache in the making
Heartbeat
Fast asleep
Dreams of singing cover
Songs in Czechoslovakian
Stop breathe
Wait and see
Climb into the loft
With me
Hang out in a memory
An end to winter
Walking barefoot
Under the stairs
I remember nights
Like that only
It wasn’t just about
Meaningless stuff
Most of it was good

Good Deeds

To love you
Is to love you brilliantly
To hold you
To make love to you
Never discard you
Is to fill your cup
I will not report you
To the authorities
For your criminal kisses
Step into the light
So that I may expose
Your good deeds

What Is Good

To you
How many times
How many different ways
What does it mean
If it’s gonna be good
To you

Little things matter
How big does it have to be
To be good
What does it mean
If it’s gonna be good

What’s the signal
When do we know
Is it natural
Does it flow
Will it become
Better than it is
Or is this it

Is this as good
As it gets
Or is there
A bigger picture
How do we find
Our happiest

What it means
To be subjective
Do we see our name
In lights
Or at the edge of
Temple flights
Stairs that bear
Our needs

To breathe the
Simple things
What do we truly need
For what is good
