So I Went Through That Same Gutter [Poem] 02:00
lyrics
buy track
So I Went Through That Same Gutter the one that wrapped around the southern porch where the rain fell slow and the people spoke slower. Whether three years post life or three years pre death it was always the same here. The children would tumble down the hill until they reached the creek where the honeysuckle grew. They would siphon nectar from the brightest ones. In the kitchen, the old people cooked. Women drinking affordable wine, the men expensive whiskey. On the counter was a glass jar full of jelly beans. Everybody loved the jelly beans or at least once loved the jelly beans you could have some whenever you liked. The music was full of classics that every human being on the planet should know but nobody ever actually does. It didn’t matter. So soft it hummed over constant laughing yet here it was, the sound of someone who wasn’t in the room but was forever welcomed. At least, that is what the old people talked about in the kitchen as the children collected their harvest of yellow and vine. And so I went through that same gutter the one that wrapped around a southern porch where the rain fell slow. Where the rain squeezed itself into the tin pipe jostling about, pushing the other droplets in a stampede that ran straight into the ground straight into the soil, soaked into the earth beneath where it waited for the light to show itself and lift it back up towards the sky that it once called home.

When At A Loss For Words (The Kissing Poem) [Spoken Word] 02:31
lyrics
buy track
I want to kiss you on the mouth I want to kiss you like the French do I want to kiss you like we're in Hollywood, the rain has been queued up and the cameras are rolling! I want to sweep you off your feet and kiss you as you hover above me I want to kiss you like it's my job, my only job, and I am due for a promotion I want to kiss you like teenagers in the back of a movie theatre I want to kiss you like a steel pole in dead winter so our lips our stuck together and the only thing that can separate them is more heat I want to kiss you worse than a frog wants to kiss a princess I want to kiss you more than a rigged game of spin the bottle I want to kiss you like a lost sailor kisses his first steps of land I need your kiss like a wound needs a mother’s kiss Like a robot powered by kisses and you are wearing electromagnetic lipstick Kiss me like New Years! Yes! Kiss me Like Valentines Day! Yes! Kiss me Fourth of July sparks flying fireworks, kiss me like these clouds are mistletoe and we're stuck inside Christmas Kiss me like that one song is playing full volume all around you and we're trapped in the backseat of a bad 90s movie Kiss me bugs bunny style Kiss me soldier returning from war style Kiss me zombie style yeah kiss my brains out Kiss me like an astronaut kisses the moon until he loses his breathe Kiss me like we won the lotto Like it’s raining in arizona like a repented henchmen kisses the mob bosses ring Like a Catholic sinner kissing the rosary in trembling hand Like Judas kissed Jesus I will kiss you like you are a prescription Your lips are ambien They put me fast asleep Your lips are ambien They have me tripping balls Your lips are ambien Not recommended to those with a heart condition - I I think have a heart condition Kiss me sweet jellyfish Until my lips sting and numb move down my neck I will not speak again Keep wandering down Until you land on my chest Just over my heart So that I can die here Happy at last
