In mistake form, I think the door was unlocked for
A certain kind of orator
A certain kind of talk
The kind that pervasively, layers discourse with hate speech
A kind of permeability
An open wound
It’s like a significant difference
I guess you would know
Regardless of where it lies, fault’s a distraction for leeway
Just fucking watch what your friends say, and try to grow
Faces displaced with
That feeling makes sense to me
Sometimes it’s difficult but, so are most valuable things
Epistem- STEM pandemic I,
Think it’s time we reevaluate the goals of out sci(ence)
(In s)olidarity we’ll often find
Who we really work for

Weep
Send your youngest daughter off to sleep
You swear the monsters stay inside their keep
Concealed behind the fire that they breathe
Turns out they never were the enemy
Takes a village to stop a nasty Nook in a pristine place
Pulling fruits from the branches that grow them out at alarming rates
Fish for capital, fish for loans that may or may not decimate
Not really sure how I landed this home, but the landscape is awfully strange
Strain my legs as I run away
Eyes shine bright, is it him, or is it ambient light?
Keep a fire in this abhorrent weather now as it starts to rain
Suppose I’ll fester here and slowly pass as it’s all the same
Tangy’s home but her door is locked as her actions defy the pain
Not really sure how I landed this home, but the outcome was awful

The worst rain we’d seen in years, our gentle baby lost we feared,
Told you’d stumble home to die, dad made sure you wouldn’t that night
Drove you there at 3 am, holding on with last of your strength
For 18 years then after that, you gave nothing but love, his buddy our cat
Tokes spend your nights laying by our sides
Comfort through the worst times I’d seen in my life
Tokes spend your days laying in the shade
We don’t deserve your company, but you loved us anyway
We lost a lot that year it seemed, and you’d sit and you’d wait and you’d watch over me
Fashion a hill from the pillows you found, guilt to feel lonely, no use to feel proud
Drove you home at 6 am, holding on with last of your strength
For 18 years then after that, you gave nothing but love, his buddy our cat
Tokes spend your nights laying by our sides
Comfort through the worst times I’d seen in my life
Tokes spend your days laying in the shade
We don’t deserve your company, but you loved us anyway

Social regress, a ninety day wait
A man with a talk show telling me why it ought not to change
It’s crazy how often it works that way
Privatized healthcare is a fucking disgrace
Routine diagnosis, and quite a clear path
You act like R&D investment is a matter of simple, direct, and infallible math
Yeah man, I’m sure Cialis really needed 130 million dollars in ads
Because production costs about as much as it costs to co-opt research from academic labs
The swells in, reasonable coverage for
Those in, a fascinating tension at shore
Send you kids away, send your kids to war,
They’ll get what they paid for
Fucking nothing

It can only take, so many shapes, a jargon-filled letter for a colloquial age
But I’m lost like you
I wrote the damn manuscript but that’s nothing new
The star was a pelican, anchovy be diligent, he’ll suffocate you as he strains through his beak
You’ll be lost like me
Sell yourself short or you’ll float out to sea
Tall tales
Built to fail
Swallow stones, where my teeth should be
I guess it’s much better than passing out with less to eat

And as he walks away
I nearly hear him scream everything
Nameless you’d stay that way
Exonerated with three-quarters pay
And so the stops in it
Are pulled out in collective
Community defense is
Unambiguous thought
The pain will be exquisite
But not a single change is
In line for social justice
They just don’t care

(This song is for Stacy, and the gentle, unending love she had for everyone she met)
An all familiar sound, lacks forgiveness, eats away at those who hear it
There are things too grotesque to speak plainly of and without metaphors
Which hold them close yet soft in robust packages, packed as adages
A cold attempt to keep them away
But you’re still dead and I still forgot to text you back that day
So I’ll try to grow like your garden
That you would have tended
But plans are upended (appended)
And plants at their roots
At their roots
And I’m afraid that I might let them die
But I hope you’d forgive me

Underneath the meadow, fire feeding growth to shield a fate
Holding closely a book of your favorite flowers that grow in your home state
Laid and pressed in gently, cursive names which line them at the base
And quite a few months later the basin’s lined with the soot you feel on your face
I would hope that it makes sense
Destroy something beautiful
Give up something beautiful
Just like the prairie I believe my lungs burn every day
Whichever path it takes I hope your father’s home is out of way
Street cars, tons of asphalt, keep us mostly protected where we stay
But we’re the ones who caused it, we’re the ones who did this

Hold the line, exhaust your resource, full of participants
Withhold medication, with old corpses to spend
Who the fuck do you think most feels the repercussions?
It doesn’t stop at Tuskegee it only begins
Don’t go
Look for a fault
When you know
Who paid the price
Dehumanized work, an attempt to erase
Where’d you go?
Wonder why it gives less than it takes
You should know
