we r the last of our pathetic kind, but we don't mind cuz we luv it on the run. they turnd out bak / our baks into a shootn range, thr so well-trained / deranged we shal not overcum. let's go cry with the river, make all the luv we can giv her, so glad she alwz gets the best of us, for soon thr thorobreds shall lay us in her bed. we used to bead / used to be a vine immemorial, / divine in armorial then they gored us all with the shaft of uppishness. we kept our seed / wept our seams cuz our skins r thik, but those restiv hiks don't lak for inventivness. giv yr mouth to the medow that she mite sing of the shadows they cast on the throngs in her natal plush, for soon thr drones shall calve and thresh her droves to chaff. and we hug the gust from the spot-on blast that annuls our nest every day, as we kiss the fist just to make the most of the life we've lost on our way away. we walk a lot / walkt a lot to heal the broken ground, / to feel this broken down, it'd get us down / round were it not so arduous. / so part of us. thr rich remains r poppin up evrywer, n thr speakers blare, "bow to the ruinous." / bow to the rue in us. say goodbye to yr baby, squeeze her / him into yr daisy, then snag yr frown on the rising trust that thru our lifeless eyes they'll see that thr demise is all they need to thrive and so may win the wise.

Incarnadine 04:18
i used to crave you, my Incarnadine. only your carvings left me deified. as the breast fell from the bone death felt less unforeknown, but maybe cuz yr harvest has my mother's eyes i can see thru you. you delimit life to free yr viciousness, recusing guilt by ingesting innocence, that yr kill mite self-acquit of the corpses in yr shit, but u noe i noe thr equivalence cuz I have been in you. yr so distraught I deserted yr scab-fucking sacrifeast. i guess my luv lost its suck for the guts of the sad deceased. it's all be funeral and multiply. wut kind of wine goes best with genocide? you'd see the bad scene in yr bun were it not so overdone, but shd you ever care to hear yr father’s cries, i'll be there for you. the less you meat the more you meet

U cudn’t be farther away, Crooked dirt road to a pine-hiden pond, Tumbl-down manse and a haunted show-hous, And we so smal in the fogy green fields, Ther to share in the wonder of our failings. In any hale and harty clan Ther’s the smilers and the scowlers, The makers and the mokers, The hopeful and the hateful, But we wur not so eazily saved from ourselvs. So u who crave evrything That evrybody craves, Take my word is won’t be yurz Wen u’r lonely in ur grave. Our life was in the theater, Experts only in contention, Playing at parts to decifer our dreams, Lafing thru the teribl tears, Uneasy save the abandon of our drama. The days of luv wur over then, Dizeze had struk the lulaby girl, Poverty crakt the actor’s back, Envy sourd the wine of words, Yet ded not our drive to invent a nu desir. So u who say evrything That evrybody says, Take my word it won’t be herd Wen u’r lonely in ur grave. We staged our circus round the fire, Poems that praizd the age stood stil, Songs confuzed at being sung, Tales to twist the father tung, Beneath a moon ablaze with our shimering sadnes. Our spirits rouzd up wild and hi, Sum with the mystical sewaj, Sum with calin the beter bad, Sum with rebilding tomoro, But u can’t forget the very thing u try to. So u who make evrything That evrybody makes, Take my word it won’t endur Wen u’r lonely in ur grave. Our nites went late in joy subdued, Recalling what never happend, Arguing over great nothings, Misdrawing the constelations, It was comon almost to a strange submission. In history each was diferent, Those of elite institutions, Those of unguided ambitions, Those of absurd fabrications, Al bound by the passion for a more perfect freedom. So u who play evrything That evrybody plays, Take my word they won’t aplaud Wen u’r lonely in ur grave. Wetherd wur our wide betrayals, Our mission branded futile, Our exploits shamed as facile, Productions infantile, By those for whom progression’s proved in wrecking. So wut are words realy worth Wen no un dares remember ther fears, Composur is a slopy ly, Extinction sleeps with ecstasy, Save as signs to show we are suficiently lost. And u who hate evrything That evrybody hates, Take my word it’s al u’l hav Wen u’re lonely in ur grave. It was just another inverse retreat, From the charity of our critics, The colaboration of the cynics, The jobs that pay in det and dout, But the batl rages alone to uproot the coward. Our victory is our memory, How we grew less eager for fame, Beleved a day in our deceits, Held and yeld, rebeld and fareweld Til next agen we run away to our trubls. So u who say evrything That no un ever says, Take my word it wil be herd Wen u’r livin in ur grave.

Don’t change from the mad of the forest Who made us and who will unmake us, Don’t follow robots and gab like a giftshop, Oversoaped, underwhelmed, a jabbering judge-all junky, But be curious and stealthy and original And most of all own nothing and do everything. The mad of the forest never get all in a fluster About the cyber emotional interface Tween the debts they can’t erase and the virus they mite create, But they can talk to the moths and the waterfalls And they solve their problems by staring at the sky And they’re happier than the whole upper lower middle class combined. If someone tries to kill you, kill them first. That’s what the mad of the forest would do. If someone tries to love you, love them back. The mad of the forest would do that too. Why get stuck on the stories of the suck-souls you work with? The mad of the forest would never do that. You scream for sports stocks swindling supremacists n scionic superstars, None whom give a flubbing fuck about you or your kids, So you shower in death and you foul your own air Trying fruitless to fangle your ten million obsessions. The mad of the forest know that competition kills And for time unimaginable they’ve reveled in nakedness and song. It don’t take a god-damned amusement park to be amused. Ain’t you ever sat and lafft at the stifling silence? The mad of the forest often spend entire seasons Trying to comprehend the significance of a leaf But they never get anywhere and they always leave gratified, Can you say that about your visit to the blowjob ad agency? Don’t try to quarantine the mad of the forest With “that was then” or “get a job” or “i don't do off-grid.” Cuz the only thing that matters is who you are really And you are not an evinrude cosmetic automaton With hyperlink genitals and an assault trifle brain But you are a lost child from the tribe of the mad of the forest. You might be t hinking I’m saying something you’ve heard before But hearing is an infinite regress away from implementation, So take my advice before it blows up in your race: Drop your parsimonies, your pusillanimities and your proud preconceptions, Drop your clockfights, your car caroms and your cadaverous castrated confections, And go home to the mad of the forest.
