Jujon Place

You could change the tongue
but would you change the taste
I heard different things
from Jujon place
With a coin exchanged
as order'n fees
the jurys gaze
begs you : make your peace
it aint for me
playing free
at Jujon place
I was almost lost
with a stand they gave
I carried like a cross
till my soul was saved
Love has set me free
past the bondsmen
past the rotten cream
of the crop in a can
carrying on
getting away
at Jujon place

Talking Bird

Seens the type
from the gab and sway
Wagging their fingers
Like it was something to say
The work makes and takes
Fortune for the bold
says freedom feinters forgetting
they need a soul
Here comes the talking bird
Come to take your word
Whoah –
Asks a neck unscathed
Where’d your green knight go?
The birds must’ve got to him
So this is it
prissy preacher's gates
Perseus rang the Jacobins
said you get their heads
Those birds are way too serious for me
I’ll keep talking where I’m free

on a par trip
stood sid
under a hill
serving up
a kickback gruel
feasting happy from
his head the devils
so was he
anxiety paid
for the purpose spree
till a trick of the light
gleamed truth
his platter crown
the glass to look brightly through
platterhead
platterhead
piece the parts
to wear or tear
begging to know
if its worth it
on the run
now sid
no price too big
bleeding free
the platter from his head

Sunpesh sunpesh
I miss an itch I’m itching to scratch
Sunpesh sunpesh
in a robwrite ditch for a money fetch
Sunpesh sunpesh
bribing a wretch in a schemeplan hatched
Sunpesh sunpesh
the bolts got a stitch in the sidewalk stretch
Sunpesh sunpesh
in a doubts glitch hauled as fear’s day’s catch
Sunpesh sunpesh
sullen poe comes at the sixth hour of collapse
on a motorcycle fixed up by kafka
you know what happens next
Sunpesh sunpesh
we’d pray to t’kitsch
if it meant no sacrificial etch
Sunpesh sunpesh

Under The Same Moon
08:21

|

|
If a vibration could sway
from stiffened time
the arms of yesterday
to come simply placed
down with a dream line
we'd give six a day
more if we find
where we may
a chance in play
is a chance for a tryin
coming from and before
a side from sides
no matter how tall
or where it falls
hope floats on in strange tides
was a dream we had
next to sia's cat
beneath the same moon
was a call we got
was basho in thought
beneath the same moon
