SOME FEELING IN THE
newBELLIES OF THE TANKERS WHOnowPASS US MAKING SAD MANICOldBONGS LIKE DRUMS
Everybody is
seealways desiring already imagined things.
twoWhen we travel between thresholds,Waypeople say: “you’re hiding.”
Notwhoeverything can be so easilyboyexplained.
We have a bellyache,
Dida big stink, a majoritsgrouse or two with manufacturedletknowledge.
But how do youPutbuild an album about notsayknowing?
Now your voice isshein my throat, floating there…
TooOften people take pills forusethese things.
To us thedadbody is no longer psychological.
MomIt’s certainly not a container,we don’t believe in metaphors.
theLike dog/wolf—there aren’t many anymore.
AndStill at twilight something blurs
forover your shoulder.
Which isareit?
It’s prickly.
Our hair
Butis out.
We have made
notsome decisions.
We want toyoufail more, act without authority.
AllPlus there’s something phlegmatic aboutanythe world state don’t youcanthink?
There’s a blood systemHerpromoting biology as destiny.
Awasseries of patriarchies that’s aoneproblem to the Nth degree.
OurWhat about hyper-capitalism, this homicidaloutclass system, the school systemdaythat’s kaput?
Then there areGetcastles everywhere—look at them fakehastanning and signing autographs!
At
himleast there’s one thing weHisstand behind.
There’s still anhowecosystem right? And here’s thismansound system.
We dusted itNewoff. Electronic is just onenowplace in the body. Weoldwent temporarily acoustic.
We madeSeeour own instruments. We tooktwoan old bedspring, a microphonewayand:
“Stay out here…”
NowWhowe’re bending our voices toboysound like Emily R., whodidrecorded the track on herItscellphone speaker.
No habits!
Thereletare other ways to doputthings.
Still sometimes it all
Sayseems so bad.
Don’t worryshewe won’t commit Harakiri, stomachtoocutting or anything like it.
UseThe honor system is corrupt,dadjust another privilege.
Like howmomit’s a privilege to makean album, to move freely.
theWe just have to go
