We are not the same
I trained at a vocational school
You’re pursuing a PHD
In some bafflegab course of study
And we exchange credentials
As we ride up to the venue
She laughs at my journeyman’s license
I’m not a learned man
But it’s easy to understand
Some entry level horseshoe theory
Let’s get some heat up in the backseat
QUALITY AIR
My legs are shaking like a track meet
She try and use me for a fast fling
I try and lose her when we get inside
And she tells me she can’t breathe in enclosed spaces like these
So I order us an Uber
She says this isn’t a guarantee
But you can come up for drinks
And we can see where the night takes us
I can’t help it I check her vents
When she’s in the bathroom
All her filters need replacing
I examine her thermostat
I nearly step on her roommate’s cat
She says her IUD is broken
Another hiccup in the click track
Stood to attention at a whipcrack
I said I specialize in HVAC
Our service experts are the best in town
Little sister took off in a huff
Didn’t anybody ever warn her of
People who take advantage of
People who put their faith in love

Matriarchy

I did it for the matriarchy
You did it for the bragging rights
who's selling who the big malarkey
They took it to the streets and you took me aside
You said I'd never catch you taking a side
I told you it was time you said you'd rather wait
Potential has a shelf life but anyway
You said you would't do then you did it
You said you wanted half then you took it in full
You looked at me and laughed when we split it
"In quotations"
I did it for the matriarchy
(you're making this out to be something else)
You did it for the bragging rights
(you're drinking in the voting line)
Who's serving up the big salami
Make it to go so I can finish at home.

brother's got the club foot me: club brains
I'm not going to the old home place again
I don't have money for the fare
I don't like flying and there's no wifi there
they keep you under 35 so you don't get benefits
then they garnish your wages for the student loan interest
an attitude leaves much to be desired
when there ain't no net and the rope is on fire
it's a slow climb
and a quick slide right back down to the bottom
how can you review the facts and tell me
there's such a thing as serendipity
that's why I choose delusion over truth
because it never set me free
it never set anybody free
brother's got the club foot me club brains
I'm not going to the old home place again
I don't need to know how the west was won
I'm one car breakdown away from oblivion
it's a slow climb
and a quick slide right back down to the bottom

This Vessel We Call Home

We are driving this house
Off the street
To secret high rise interstates in the clouds
This satellite dish
Harnesses the wind
We rise above the marine layer
All minds are made
All bags are packed
Let’s never go back
Let’s never look
That is a footprint
That’s a flag
This is extremely boring
We take a picture, say a prayer
Console the newly bereaved
A narrative reveals itself
By light of the lode star
All cargo pockets
All capos
Book lungs in working order
Trust autopilot while we sleep
We keep the AC right at seventy
We drape our feet from our front porch
A storm looks better from up here
A thousand miles
Of clothesline trails
Down to the firmament below
We’ll congregate o’er foreign skies
We’ll stay all night
We’ll watch a meteor shower
We’ll stay all week
We’ll stay all year
I like it here
I like it
The natives come and take our stores
And scalps and rightly so
Tails between legs
We return home
Headscabbed and blistered in the sun

wait
until the night
wait for my sign
under the pall
we
no stop drop roll
we run aflame
run into ash
rearguard
where have you gone
i'm still waiting
debriefed
placed in our care
lowered neath veil of night
we white vines in dark tool sheds
we thirst for pigmentation
wait until the night
wait for my sign
come to the window
we no stop drop roll
we run aflame
run into ash
rearguard
where have you gone
we're still waiting
debriefed
placed in our care
lowered neath veil of
