perpetual jam!!!!!!!!!

[katydid]

Yesterday was
originally scrambled eggs
with a joint in the yoke
it was a satire, a joke I never understood
Norwegian wood until I slept in her bath
called to breakfast
funeral fried french toast the cuffs
straight the collar pressed organ wails a 70's tribute
but still we circle the damn davenport
scratch the floorboards
she lied
it is never easy

[WIREMAN]

i could see it
in her eyes
as i sat on
her rug
biding my time
her and that norwegian
wood, when i wanna
bang on the drum
all day
polly wolly doodles
smell of woodsmoke
but where
i always wondered
where?

[katydid]

where?
I have told you a thousand times
it is IN the couch
the change the spring the board
the time we lied the time we laid
the time you pillow shouldered our favorite show
fingers sliding elastic fingers
sliding warm cotton
blanket fringe tickle

mother found them
seven dead kittens behind nanas pedals
we didn't know how could we know?
mama cat locked out trailer door
we circle the organ for the smell
the smell the smell is coming from inside
doodle all day if you will polly pretty polly
reel around the fountain
barefoot splash cool coins between toes
circle circle circle inside
declare the pennies on your eye

[WIREMAN]

sippin her wine
mysteries of my youth
no chairs
but couches....yeah
no rugs
nor rub-a-dub
had to quit that
dubstep band
i am mc
but horse of a different
color...not green with
environs in that
norwegian wood fire
did he burn the furniture?
did he burn the house down?
or was it the talking heads
who did it?
yeah i know that was
20 years later, but......

[katydid]

no scrubs no hosers no
pennyback poseurs the question is
do you want to make that devil grin
or scowl think about it now a one
and a two and dancing down to Georgia
broomstick in hand
slick willie sticks it to her from behind
the stage door left
stage door right pardon me Sir
may I have another sick
twist of the letters
down
my back
and back again
all of a sudden passion suddenly
we paint the drop cloth

[WIREMAN]

jackson runs the voodoo down
like he was miles ahead
aluminum paint drippin
young girls fightin
to take a ride
to whiskey fueled
oblivion

[katydid]

something in this riff makes me beg to differ
no she didn't no he didnt
didn't you see the timber trail
put it on the stove put it on the stove
put it on the stove ma
the kettle is cracked the tinder is stacked
its time for the reckoning
egg white stiff we peak and carmelize
whipped sugar sweet weeps from the mountaintop
the crust, perfect

[WIREMAN]

auger rhythms
julie driscoll singing
nightingale branches
ann put eggs in
boiling water
we commenced to
breaking the bed in
while the neighbor pounded
we laughed and pounded more
the eggs blew up all
over the kitchen
you shoulda read that
letter our neighbor left
the next day

[katydid]

it always comes down to
my legs up the wall
your head turned
its the slow burn semantics!
soft boil and salted
we waltz around the topic
its a slow day at the turnstile
show me show me show
me the way back to you
3 clicks south by southwest
turn up the pump,
bed's already broken

[WIREMAN]

my bed's on
the floor
slim's eatin
whitmans chocolates
gettin bigger by the day
we had us that little
hideway in the hood
then the animal control
came and stole our
baby lion away
after that things
was never the same

[katydid]

nothing's the same now that Leo's gone
sunset pajamas,
crochet throw
variagated yarn fades from pink
to blue to yellow again
gender gender put it in neutral
or was it knit? hooks and needles
Leo never liked acrylic
lying with the lambs
makes one go soft

[WIREMAN]

it all goes back
to norwegian wood
i will spill the wine
when it's sake time
as i watch a zatoichi
movie in the booth
by the window facing
my abode across the way.....

[katydid]

we untie the arts
baby Garrison takes us to the morning
ten days on the road
I miss you
and your knot tail tangle
and your cereal in the bowl
no we never had cereal in bowls
handfulls straight from the box
I had to ask
you never offered I always had to ask
never with a "baby"in the language
you did not break my heart
the ache is from the growing the missing
the knowing, the unknowing
somehow we always slipped to the floor
somehow it never felt over

[WIREMAN]

she scrolls on me
like a deadbeat
concrete surfer goddess
with stickers all over
her ass

[katydid]

tossed rock hears a pop
we find the vein
14 hour bloodfast
and still no sign of you
no god no myth just man
want to feel my constriction
you need to come inside

suddenly
nothing is enough
my
words
turn
into
sentences
from
a
free magazine on the doorstep
WAit
Did I forget to say Fuck?
