Rigid Umbrella

Rigid umbrellas

Lie by the open door

As the rain sweeps in

From the city streets

We sit just in

Cold nights ascend

On New York City

Again

A Merciful Fool

A merciful fool

Can be an instrumental tool

New to the frenzy

Yet slow to anger

What he is sensing

Me a fool

But merciful I hope to be

Ribbon

Ribbon silk

On the upper stilts

Held up

While I am looking down

In the heights of love

But down from the

Wedding gown

Beyond the Nose

Beyond the nose

Of the dogs of democracy

Voluntary crazy

We have come to be

No sight

Or sound

Could bring us back together

Now

Where the differences divide

Has dug in quite far

Full of liquid melted tar

Beyond the nose

Will be more problems

Where our senses

Can’t go

Shallow Stitches​

My shallow stitches

Have broken

My old ways

Have come out

In the open

Order the new surgeon

In

To make me all good

Again

Thundering Crook

Thundering crook

Took his last look

At a table set

To make his own

Little did he know

That below the table

Sat a man

Who had the same plan as his own

As the crook grabbed the table

The two quickly became unstable

The alarm rang out

And they both went to jail

Together

Not alone

Bumpy Folds

Bumpy folds

Where I go

When the night is long

And the days are slow

Over the crest of the

Starched shirts

Is a new day

Waiting to start

Howl Unto the Day

Howl into the day

The ones who complain

The most

Have the most jagged teeth

For biting and losing

Their minds

Howling late into the night

When I am sleeping off

The time
