in the hand sand is worth little the touch too much too slippery we are dipping our fingers in honey at the same time but what sticks is too quick-covered to be licked by any but the most unconcerned tongue we are hung out to dry on our own proclamations the follow-through is fascinatingly untrue we are blue in the face and we erase the chase before it catches us we are pushing forward through fear we’re clear on a few points but dropping the ball for the sake of the point the other team chooses to lose we’re bending the vibes and clustering into tribes we cannot make the call we cannot fall into something we jumped straight out of we cannot recognize what we’ve been looking for when we see it it’s a disease we’ve been feeding upon and it’s been eating whole holes in our own souls trolling under bridges and picking up pieces catching and release is there is any other way is cut and paste today worth a scurried phonecall afraid of racking up the points the text mixed into uncertain reviews we are true and we are quiet we are never planning to riot but the fires we put out are made of troutstreams and the wind is confused unused to such truths preferring the rainbows the upjump shimmers the downstream cylinders playing wax-coated songs twinkling along the muddy paths of recorded technology we’re acknowledging the differences the pieces of resistances across history the twisted breeze hanging history books in the trees the winding road up to the sky salvation in information and the words heard in colorblind rhyme let us develop a conversation let us search for inspiration let me tell you someone else’s secrets I think you already know my own and when you phone home you ought to tell the truth it’s the root of rot and what you’ve got is hard to grow while the flow turns cleaner the laundry greener and the sideways ivy crawling up hardly receptive walls calling out for attention did I mention the dreams the green ink and the kitchen sink waiting for a reader a greeter a bit of listening without a knowitall followup?
