Dumpster Diving

I never did anything that was too outrageous
You caught me talking about jaw bone in my head
I always wanted to rely on terra firms
As I held it on my tongue
When we harvest fields of wheat and bread
In back alleys
When we go hand in hand
Hand to mouth
When we are raised by aluminum
And love the salt of the earth

All Bodies

The law that all bodies
Impinging on lesser bodies
Lose as much of their own
Motion as they communicate
To the latter is a necessary law
Of all bodies and depends
On natural necessity

The Good Fight

I am capturing the flag of my neighbor's disposition
I am riding on the CTA
I am smiling in the bilingual embrace
Come on take to the hood where the smoke is happening
Fledgling with a lower cigarette
Fledgling in the cool night air
Step into the bubble now
Look who got in
Look who got in trouble now
I am capturing the flag of my neighbor's post-collective
Which is churning like a tidal wave
I cower at the sight of it
I duck and shrug and feel a small giddiness inside
A nervous laughter
At the crazy idea
That I just might mount that tidal wave
And ride it like a beach boy
All the way to shore
White people, age of wonder
I love you, I love you
Catching the nigger by the toe
Finding the nigger in your soul

Necessary Things
02:20

The more this knowledge that things are necessary
Is applied to individual things
Which we imagine more distinctly
And more vividly
The greater is the power of the mind over the mind over the emotions
A fact to which experience also testifies
For we see the sorrow for the loss of anything good is diminished
If the person who has lost it
Considers that it could not
By any possibility
Have been preserved
So also, we see that nobody pities an infant
Because it does not know how to speak, walk, or reason
And lives so many years not conscious, as it were
of itself
But if a number of human beings
Were born adult
And only a few here and there were born infants
Everyone would pity the infants
Because we should then consider infancy
Not as a thing natural and necessary
But as a defect or fault of nature

THC, nicotine, alcohol and caffeine, baby
THC, nicotine, alcohol and caffeine, feed me
I feel like I'm in another world tonight
Falling, dancing off the floor and floating out of sight
Smoke until there's nothing left, the money's long gone
Gone the way we all will go, we're dancing into dust
Drink until my heavy heart has become light
Drink until I fall in love with you tonight
Smoke until you're lost and then you find yourself
Crawling up from underground and deep in love with me

Love Song
01:59

You make me so hard
My lover with the deep, deep throat
As big as life
That's how you taste
I feel like Pavlov's dog
I'm wet before we even touch
Anal available, anal available
I love it when you take me like that
Your ripe soft breasts
Your vibrating penis
Vagina is ready when you are ready
