Leave the keys on the driver's seat
and the wheels in the evening weeds.
Let the engine's dejected hiss
spit and heave how it really feels.
You were fraught with dismal thoughts
that things could all work out this time.
But the sun plunges like
a scrunched up idea out of sight.
So it's alright.
You were fraught with dismal thoughts
that things could all work out this time.
But the sun thunders wide
like a final frame requires a strike
and it looks like... gutterball.

Breakfast For Dinner

Bristling hillsides entwined
by urgent circuits of faltering lights
all but crawl and writhe into whispering night.
Stars that acted as maps in the past
are disenchanted and dwindling fast.
I should have left for adventure instead,
but no, I've had breakfast for dinner again.
Dimly blinking back out at flight paths
arching over dark beaches and back,
I should have left for elsewhere as well,
but no, I've had breakfast for dinner,
no, I've had breakfast for dinner,
no, I've had breakfast for dinner again.

Carport

Another twilight tries to find that
exact cactus planter match,
gets distracted with the hanging basket's
pallette and loses track.
Heard your mom say to the neighbours
that it's just a passing phase,
but some animals stay in an open cage.
Tried to leave like this was no big deal
with you picking the best cassette.
Well-adjusted like the bungee
that clung to something in the carport
and the roofbox and stretched and...
With your art school applications
preferentially arranged,
but some animals stay in an open cage.
And once the album's done,
look up at buzzards and gulls.
"These must be different ones, huh?"
The tape ends and then
we put on the same one again.
You went heavy on the ketchup,
unstoppable with the salt,
left a person's worth untouched
and when they came to clear up
said I'd be buried in my headphones,
still whispering the words
to this new thing I've been working on
as they're shoveling on the earth.
Couldn't gauge the way you mumbled
"there's a bunch of f••••d up ways
that some animals stay in an open cage".
But some animals stay, but some animals stay,
but some understudies aim to stay that way.
