Girl with Basket of Fruit

Normal Love

Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh

What have you become?
s
I can’t say so
s
Yet run full-on to
s
Run towards nothing
s

No, yes, yeah, no, yes, no, what? No
s
Normal love, normal love
s
Normal love, normal love
s
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh
s
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh
s
Sprinkle gopher dust
s
Spill Chum-Churum
s
Secrets of the Psalms
s
Might uncross anything
s

No, yes, yeah, no, yes, no, what? No
s
Normal love, normal love
s
Normal love, normal love
s

I want to pretend
s
But I cannot pretend
s
Want me to speak nor to blink
s
You don’t want to feel attractive nor feel pride
s
I think, in the end, I don’t need to feel pride
s

Normal love, normal love, normal love
s
Normal love, normal love, normal love
s
Normal love, normal love, normal love
s

I think I have shown
s
I don’t need it to be fair
s
I think I have shown you
s
I don’t need you to be kind
s
Just let me pretend
s
I have something to lose
s
Something

Scisssssssors

Fade cream, all erased
s
I can’t remember who you are
s
Hear and taste all erased
s
I can’t remember who you are
s

The Simone Hotel
s
The Simone Hotel
s

(Guard, guard
s
Guard, guard)
s
Light a candle, pull the handle
s
You are erased
s

(And now sow bugs the size of real sows)
s

Dear Dr. Duck
s
What’s the solution for people like us?
s
Long Gone Harmonica, Boogie Woogie Clair
s
Sleepy Pee Wee, Junior Little Buddy
s
Jelly Roll Cacao, Geeshee Purple
s
Champion Kitty
s

Light a candle, pull the handle
s
You are erased
s
Light a candle
s
You are erased
s

It would be twice as good
s
If you lay down on the track
s
Half for the trash and half for the hornets
s
It could be four times as good
s
If you lie down there again
s
A quarter for the gooseberry bush
s
A quarter for the gooseberry bug
s
It was the clarinet that made you deaf
s
Not the coming train, Connie

Mary Turner Mary Turner

Mary Turner, Mary Turner
s
Mary Hattie Graham
s
19 years old and pregnant
s
Hazel Turner, Hazel Turner
s
Murdered by a lynch mob
s
She declares his crime a crime
s
And running for her life
s

She is, she is captured
s
Captured at Folsom Bridge
s
Gasoline and motor oil smeared on her clothes
s
She is hung up by her ankles from the tree
s
A match is struck and she is set ablaze
s

Mary Turner, Mary Turner
s
While still burning
s
Mary Turner, Mary Turner
s
While still alive
s
Split open with a knife
s
From her womb onto the ground
s

Looking up the first and only light it ever sees
s
The flames, the flame of its mother’s burning, burning
s
Reaching out the first and only loving touch it receives
s
The falling ash of its mommy’s hair on fire
s

The baby, baby cried in the dirt
s
Quieted, quieted by a boot’s heel
s
Mother and child, mother and child
s
999 more bullets from the crowd
s

Mary Turner, Mary Turner
s
Buried where they were murdered
s
A cigar stuffed in a whiskey jug
s
A whiskey jug to mark the grave
s

Fuck your guns
s
Fuck your war
s
Fuck your truck
s
Fuck your flag
s

The Wrong Thing

Charismatic, a trapped rabbit
s
Carpet beetle, huhu grub
s
Rice weevil, flatworm
s
Mealy bug, field cricket
s
Grass grub, caterpillar
s
Head louse, utopia
s

I can’t bear what they say about you
s
Baptize a goat, sacrifice a goat
s
Let’s shove in our wrong as deep, as deep as it will go
s

Soft in the head
s
And a moth besieged
s
A life alarmed
s
With you
s

Sheaf of wheat for flicking away
s
Sheaf of rye for flicks to come
s
No boat back to where we came from
s

Days spent eating and only eating
s
Without ease and without reflection
s
Apples, artichokes
s
Almonds, acorns
s
Asparagus, avocados
s
Apricots
s

Pulled through the sand
s
And yet not dulled
s
A life alarmed
s
With you
s

Cynthia, upon the throne
s
All the cubes and squares go home
s
Sit by me and do the wrongest thing
s

Boom are like we
s
And bunnies and pink are we
s
Boom go that cars thee
s
Cars are like we
s

Ice Cream Truck

Mescal in a bottle and a baby on a boob
s
Hair dyed blonde for nobody, nobody move
s
I wasn’t gonna hurt you
s
I’ve heard that one before
s
I wasn’t gonna hurt you
s
I’ve said that one before
s
Flip-flops turned gray
s
And foot twisted ’round the wrong way
s
Puff, puff
s

She is and was passed out
s
And will always be passed about
s
As it was in the beginning, she is still passed out
s
You paid half already
s

A bar named Smirk Smirk Smirk
s
A jerk shack named The Gut
s
And again, no clothes
s
A square of foam to pad her back
s
Again, no clothes
s
A carpet sampled to pad her back
s
Dunk, dunk
s
Dunk, dunk
s
Who is it?
s

Smile, donut
s
For lip liner, pee-pee, and rubber tubes
s
Smile, donut
s
Smile, donut
s
Smile, and then don’t
s
Smile, and then don’t

Amargi ve Moo

One and a-two and a-three
s

Tumors seem like something you would collect
s
And poison seems like something you would take
s
In the offensive ways of all flesh
s

I am not ready
s
And cannot accept
s
That it is spread like a cancer
s

Goodnight, goodnight
s
Don’t look, sweet old friend
s
Don’t look, little sister
s
Don’t answer, knock, knock, knock
s
Don’t answer
s
Only answer for your fear of God
s
Don’t answer for the nothings else
s
Ye, o night, o night, o night
s
Get away, ye, o night
s
Get off, get back, get off, o night
s

It is in fact maybe magnificent
s
In the bosoms of Abraham
s
I will behead all the saints
s
I will behead all the stars
s
Let lightning strike where it will
s
Coco-nuts, ba-nay-nays
s
Flowering vines in revolt
s
Let there be peace
s
And let it begin with thee
s

I am not ready and I cannot accept
s
I am not ready and I cannot accept
s
I am not ready and I cannot accept

Maybe you can revolt
s
If you can’t revolt
s

Chunks of your forearm
s
Chunks of your scalp
s
Chunks of your hunch
s
Now in a dumpster or in a sandwich
s
Your hairpiece perched upon your head
s
As if dropped from the ceiling by accident
s
Never not at worry
s
And now, never not blonde
s
Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho
s
Let her be reborn as something unruinable
s
A meteor, a mushroom, a kakapo
s
A sparkling out of control
s

It Comes Out as a Joke

Knuckle a short life in the ribs
s
It comes out as a joke
s
The God Burner as the unembrace
s
It too, a joke
s
The Great Fish Head deforms the unborn
s
It comes out a great and deformed joke
s

A pig wearing a maid’s apron and cap
s
Riding a tomato on rubber wheels
s
It looks at its pocket watch and points a hoof
s
“You go to The World of Unborn”
s

Jerking to it in mush
s
Mush deducted from heaven
s
That’s is the funny part
s
Jerking it to mush
s

My life, hot with sorrows
s
Hot with sorrows
s

But this a joke as well
s
Bedroom filling with true black
s
Bedroom filling with smoke, smoke
s
Bedroom filling with clack, clack
s
Bedroom filling with smoke
s
Bedroom filling with true black
s
Bedroom filling with smoke, smoke
s
Bedroom filling with clack, clack
s
Bedroom filling with smoke

Take a break
s
The pressure rips her apart
s
The baby duck in you has died
s
Push it out and F-word a duck
s
It’s a bad time to be a duck
s

Girl with basket of fruit
s

She sits on a bicycle and floats in space
s
She is in love with The Angel of Stop Laughing
s
When The Life Promiser makes her say any word
s
It comes out as a joke
s
He is not a good guest
s
The cutlass is a more excellent guest
s
Cutlass
s
Cutlass, cutlass, cutlass
s

Girl with basket of fruit
s

Look at her try to walk away, I get bored
s
Photos of her jerking it to mush, I get bored
s
It’s a vagina strained without end
s
And her lungs fill with tears
s
Or the lungs turn to gills
s
Life inland has become impossible
s
No path straight through Og’s Magog Bog
s
The jackfruit (Ding)
s
The dragonfruit (Ding)
s
The passionfruit (Ding)
s
The cinnamon’s bun (Ding)
s

She sits on a bicycle and floats in space
s
She is in love with The Angel of No Taxi Anywhere
s
When of Hell’s Electorate: The Grocer
s
Makes her dance with a nobody
s
It comes out as a joke
s
Eating gherkins by the fistful
s
From the jar in his front pants pocket
s
Brine and peppers building up
s
On the rings around his fingers
s
Her boob gets so floppy
s
She uses it as a fan to wave away his sickening B.O.
s
Now rubbing it off with a brick
s
Dust for his panettone
s
Every frog hops right up into her butthole
s
Every frog eats a single butthole flea on its way in
s
She brown box squeezes them all into froghost
s
A flock of erect dicks on bat wings
s
Pee-pees into her sleeping face
s
And pointlessly tries to fuck a blue sky
s
At the witch execution, they all hope to be called up
s
They’ve had enough
s
They’ve had enough
s
