thanks

for returning the key
thanks
for locking yourself out
thanks for removing me from

all your bull shit


even though I love you


now I can play alone
with only my own bull shit


'pound you out of my head'

First Take

damn

gets me going

tears a flowin

dancing my bones

free



-Lahmadaj

easter

eats her

and the rain smears her flesh


-Lahmadaj

easy does it

easy now easy

just a little longer



there, all done
nothing more
finally



-Lahmadaj

don't know

why you're the one
so much driving me crazy
rev
the idle listlessness
a pace of evolution

the rain falls hard
continuous
to earth

leaping frog


-Lahmadaj

hey look

family

i'm not a loser

forgot to e-mail you to let you know

i've got my own apartment now

i even have a few friends

not saving the starving children

but i feed a lot of them music

hey look

i'm not a wasted soul

got my own place

got a job

made a friend

moving up

i think i see the beginnings of air

pulled from the earth


-Lahmadaj

oh music

the only thing worth anything

a fortune not
in the man's hands

good thing

good thing it's here

otherwise
I'd not


-Lahmadaj

one

of my friends

one of the only

will fly into my city
in the heated August month

should be grand to see him
better than most anything

one thing
will be

lengths of sky
laugh I laugh



-Lahmadaj

there are his eyes

looking at mine
he tells me words
out loud

he rarely says what's below
this burns

seems alive and smiles
touches lips
can hear breathing

what depression
to have the infinite light
hidden

looks at me
lost my shining
sometime in the years
thinking of when this all stops

i'll wait and wait and wait

may be birds


-Lahmadaj

excuse me

sir

turn off

sir

off

stop




-Lahmadaj

yes

press me
trick the light
enter tongue

reimburse the rally
each has none
funny

place replace
easy in the
scheme

oh oh you know oh
low is the treasure
sing


-Lahmadaj

it's all

there
each day
the turning
each day

pleading with the strawberries
his face lowers
drip the leaves

can't imagine anything else
a million infinite
each day

enter the tune
a length of fret
trigger finger

there it is
each day


-Lahmadaj
