delete

lack of
control
and no
alternative
options
left us
no choice
token black
man
stretching
a token
as far as it can
go
in a place like
this
early dismissal
reminscent
of days
long gone
and songs
sung softly
like psalm 119
but with brevity
happy are those
whose way is
perfect
so the sad sit
amidst
drying palettes
and empty canvases
making nothin
with very little
breakin bad
and quoting
riddles with no humour
a reprise
of
repossesion and removal
control
or the lack of
with no
alternative approval
a restart is neccesary
but something
is missing.

leave it all behind... by the foreign exchange

it went from track 8 to track 9
quicker than the street corner release
this was live
sadness in dolby digital
from the house of blues
to a house of blue
hues and blue views
on take off
a window seat close
but far from emergency
exits
so its hectic
coming home to you
but knowing a house
of cards
is the weakest foundation
to stand on
while i'm the
last man standing
holding the joker
all in with a bad pokerface
no king and queen meeting here
like roncesvalles to corktown
on the 504
you were something to behold
our stories now grow sordid
i stumble thru streets
off whiskey sours
sweeter than you
it only took a few nights
to need a daykeeper
looseleaf notice
apply within
preferred experience with
valediction
and solo subscription
to issues
troubling
love is all or nothing
here i wave
white flags meant for
de fete
in defeat
with the title track on repeat
pointless but still
i wanna know...
