RANSOM NOTES: Suspect, animals do take some sympathy on men. Cannibal, a praying mantis-- yes, symbol blade. Here’s nothing only the stairs. Blisters sequin symmetry there. Calm down. Down. This armour caresses me a little bit. It’s serpentine, and glows within a neon sign. What’s crouching at the foot of my bed, distinguished guest? I’m ashamed! I ripped off the side of hurricanes saw the patience in my Life’s a feast for animals, passionate as we go. Turn the lantern of your face. Flies careen into the wall like helicopters gone a-- I’ll carry I’ll carry my own. god knows you’re a good person, rag. My body’s a mailbox for ransom notes. and everybody loves the sunshine. god knows you’re a good person, rag, and pictures other people take. But in my mind there’s a fire, i don’t recognize your face. So shake your knives-- look at my satellite dish… as I go back and dust away the traces of your entrance. Here the dust is trapped, now all the angels go a-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. Your face! Doll duck under. He blinks black. He built a house for us out of japanese crepe paper on fire in the forests of glass. Birds trade lives (dragonflies), so the dragonflies become lizards and they search in the footprints for traces of bones. pet. cognomen. Distinguished guest! animals do take some sympathy on men, cannibal. A praying mantis yes. My body’s a mailbox for ransom notes and pictures other people take, winds change with my mind and scrape what never was away: more furniture for a home I’ll chase to the ends of the earth. The word of the day is hours. pulling weeds from the ground’s wall where they’re anchored and pale, more civil than you sink. In sunburst clay clouds stripe the sky like a couch where airports Chill pills spill and climb out of the cracks. A line of pink caulking, like long intestines, goes round the house in a divot the worm coils,half-coils its organ the hornet throbs, prey of the sinks swallow. discovering insects the word of the day is ours, for free, a gazelle coloured rainbow crinkle sprinklers Suspect, dust the traces of your entrance off the carpet. We’re peeking through the gloom. Everything under the sun is too true.

Alls my lifes I stare at lights-- living. Alls my lifes shine! Not colourblind, Nawh! But fucked up vision, YUH! Nazareth, I'm fucked up. Homie you fucked up But if G-d got us then we gon' be alright. We gon' be alright. Alright. So when I rise up, I realize it’s me you’re lookin in the Eyes of, cuz i’m the rival. And I feast on sin, Don’t think that there’s been another being in history That’s quite so evil as me-- my confession, I’m just required-- it’s relative, I’m made of spiders, cant believe it’s time again, let’s battle god and abbadon and men, the crowd loves it, yes yes, They’re at my ankles in a fuck fest Need need need need Enormous being, magnificent. Blotting out the sun with a soft deliverance-- yep. But you know We been up and down before, when our pride was low Lookin' out the club like, "Where do we go?" So the child of swords brings light to the world of animals I’m at the preacher’s door His knees getting weak his gun might blow But he gonna be alright. Alright? Alright. But he gon' be alright. OK, what’s the time? 1:00. It’s the middle of the day, So why’s it getting dark? He said hey my name is Lucy, I’m your dog. Call me adversary buddy, beelzebub. Fear and fight complete denial. Keep that island i’ve got my own violence. I prophesy: bet you can’t believe all the shit that i see bustin out of the seams of my one bright blind eye, got that cyclops vision! I’m such a sick fuck, yeah cuz, got that glitter itty bitty shining pretty little thingy yeah really such a lovely lantern bug in the center of my chest ‘cause that’s wilin, that’s wilin, uh, just stylin-- Yah you know We’ve been up and down before, when our pride was low Lookin' out the club like where do we go. I’m the underscore, kicking up the beat of the overlord. Forevermore, an open door to kiss me, and you’re gonna be alright. Alright.
