well I am rubber - and I am glue
and what I say just isn’t true
the green outside - the violet too
but I just can’t stand the blue
I walk outside – and see a cloud
and I then I say the word with my whole mouth
it tastes funny – so then I see
if I can try try try something else
well I’ve had some trouble sleeping
but I dream all afternoon
the falling leaves – are flying moths
and without a light they seem to stop
some questions fall – like birds from trees
and always rise into the breeze
I measure my life in one-year leases
is this a puzzle or just some pieces?
I forget most the songs I sing
and still don’t know what I mean
I want to get away
the sky yawns
the cat yawns
I want to get away
well we are honey - the sun is too
and we will ooze ooze ooze until the moon
pokes her grey face - through all that space
and then we’ll open up and then we’ll bloom
well I’ve had some trouble sleeping
but I dream all afternoon

caligari dream
in here it seems
I’d rather be
anywhere else
& in the morning I
& in the evening I
& in the moment I
the subway squirms
like a fat earthworm
on the damp sidewalk
after a storm
& in the morning I
& in the evening I
couldn’t believe my eyes
come on, let's go
the resting birds
on the power line
write a melody
inside my mind

I’m in a stage
cicada metronome
reminds me that I’ve grown
into some brand new thing
with wasabi wings
it’s hard to see yourself
within a pallid shell
the color must break out
the color must break out
I want to grow
but
I’m in a stage
chrysalis I wish
I could do it all again
I’m worse at waking up
than I am at sleeping in
my mind made up its mind
& I’m starting to begin
to see the green in things
where I never saw a tint
I want to grow
but
I’m in a stage
