I'M OK, YOU'RE OK

I'm ok,
you're ok
and what we have is more
than the days we spent as something else
when here is where you tell me
they need us,
we need them,
more than I think.
fresh feelings
fill what we left,
we see that we're needed
we know that
we know what
we've got

HERE IS ALWAYS SOMEWHERE ELSE

here is always somewhere else,
so where does that leave me?
being alone is one thing
but I'm lonelier still
with all these heads
finding mine
amongst all theirs
staring at the shapes
on a brick wall
waiting for here to be all,
to be everything
instead of somewhere else

YOU DIE

you die
you die
you die

sometimes
it gives me such a sense of power
to hit a fly
with my fist

but
immediately after
I feel guilty,
as if it wanted me to do it

FLAMINGO

be a flamingo among pigeons
and when they've made up their minds,
make a different decision
if they've got hair, shave your head
if they're awake, go to bed
and if they're talking, pretend to be dead
if they go right, go left
if they are them and there and then,
then be yourself
and always remember:
you're unique,
just like everyone else

GOOD MORNING

waking up in the morning
and wishing that I hadn't
is too much for one man
I can't do this by myself
or anyone else
so where does that leave me?

ANTI-D

it takes more than fucking someone to keep warm
but at the moment
I don't know
what that is
sinking,
lonely,
forgetting you slowly
my antidote
and overdose

KFC

didn't you see,
didn't you know?
some things don't float any more
a dead man's chest
breast,
wings
and thighs
which do you prefer?
Her concrete soul:
suck off
fuck off
today will be better
until my arms fall off
and I walk backwards,
to find them
