PAIR A DICE

i searched high and low, from here to eternity
past the deep, dark black hole's singularity
and there it was, an indescribable desert-like force
the source of gravity, inertia and thermodynamics


in a cup of coffee or caffeine-free tea
a snack of a drink to find the elevator
to the floor without fiunding the door
drink deep, pair a dice appears as a red-black, blue-green sea


come over to my place after work
be there by seven, stay 'til eleven
give your blessed executive ass to a clerk
that's my insufferable stairway to heaven


broken, then renewed, jazz emerged from the blues
believe me, inevitably i wouldn't lie to you
elvis or mozart, wagner, kant or plato et al
or whomever you choose, all took the cosmic fall


open the door, the light illuminates disappearing shadows
black nothing to white nothing no one knows
and then, in a moment, absolutely everything
all is the same, above so below


crease in your pants, pleats in your skirt
please me just by payment in the form of dirt
boogie woogie movin' my feet to the rhythm
feelin' the sweet beat, recalling that i am what it is

I.D.K. (i don't know)

Fire & pain, drivin' god insane
Heartbeat felt in the eyes
Going toward the temple
Meeting in the mind we resemble


Turn the Phrase of monkey see
Monday is what it is to be
Come to the window pane
See yourself, intruder insane

For the real, for the meal
Walking back and forth on foot
Parking in the lot of confusion
Getting tired of thoughts & sin

But I know exactly where i've been
Can't reach you, can't touch you
Swallowing fossil fuel for the show
Dick & Jane, Spot & a Big Mac to go.
