Enter Beaver
Every tune is around you,
every tune is around you ready for the taking and swirling around,
everyone you've ever loved and all the people you despise all around,
what good did it do to dam up the brook?
The mud and sticks it took,
all the wasted work,
to flood and strip the bark to give the shape to vacant landscapes,
undulated undead at the brook shape it took,
beaverbrook beaverstay beaverbrown beaverbrae beaverbrave!
Beaver build this estate this escape ship in it,
take some mud it makes a pond it breaks an old inedible forest,
fit to feed just squirrels nothing else, without fire without flame without either: enter beaver!
Then give what they make take it away,
you just make a place to stay and you give it away,
anew in a den in the forest where nothing had been,
I'm in a den in the forest where nothing had been,
in a den in the forest where nothing had been,
now there's a den,
now there's a
Den.

An Arboretum

This is the key, this is the right thing
This burnt is in burnt in the bridge
Dissenting voices in the brig
And out the message ought to ring
But it don't, it's such a downer.
This is the wheel, this is the rig
This haul is ending, loaded trigs
And angulations, opportunities arose
At the crossroads, in the dustbowls
And devils they sing, this is all malls
And open parking and arboretums
But it don't, an arboretum, here we go:
Groves grown down in forests out of seeds away from rivers
And in the dregs, and down from springs
Came fulfillment at the crossroads
Lanes waylaid laid out in rays
And one bell burns out the silence
From just under shined-out light
Split the silence where nobody's around to hear what makes the wheels go round
Stand and we choose we walk upon sacred ground.
Is this all you're on about?
Won't you call and let me know?
Is this it? Or is it the right thing?
An eye of the bridge?
This is the key, this is the right thing
This burnt that burned in the bridge
Descending voices in the brig
And out the message ought to ring.

Eaton Eats A Salad
02:28

Eaton wouldn't eat a field of grass
Unless he took care to arrange all the fields into shapes
He pangs that way and wouldn't eat a salad
On a plate, a bowl keeps things from getting away
From probing salad forks and oily lakes
Of peppered vinegar balsamic collected underneath shapes
In a manageable pool that changes shape
With the whirl and swish of cabbage like a wreath that changes shape
Eaton eats a salad of greenbound radish red and shaved carrot
Precise in the prying flex of Eaton's hand that shares it
Like stormbands whipping under Jupiter as he eats it
And it is good because it is a salad and he needs it.
Tossed from Eaton's mind as he created it,
Built of spontaneous soil and sun, he ate it.
Eaton eats a salad and he shaped it
Eaton eats a salad and he made it from his mind
Eaton eats a salad and he shaped it
From his own mind.

Damselflies and dragonflies a tone identify we're incomplete without the colours in the room bleeding through out of tune but we can fly if we choose to eat the moon turn a tune into a tone and just say ooo.
Damselflies and dragonflies but we unplanned and so we land await the shine on the stone and if mosquitoes even arose we in the thrones the thoros of the green the emerald hue the golden gloom the goose and groom we write the tone into the tune and carry through.
To get the view we fly the coop.
To bog and meadow and laser zoom incomplete are we, identify a tone and zoom dragonfly and damselfly.
Nothing in the forest moves but the shadows over snow, the branches' branches, the sun's down you put that in your song that sense you don't belong.
Be the temporal exception through the silence in the cold bursting with a conversation through the paintings in the snow.
Silence brews defeat and what we seek is to survive the crouching night, they last so long and lay a'weak until the gloom of frostlight, diving ducks in winter where the currents wear ice free when snowbones shiver, damselflies and dragonflies return they'll return if we choose to eat the moon turn a tune into a tone and just say ooo.
Diving ducks in winter a creature dries for creatures beneath where snowbounds shiver, diving ducks in winter where the currents wear ice free in winter.

Crocodile

I'm not the light I've got the mud I've got the scale eyes asleep I'm in the Nile
But into the mix a gaggle of hooves adrift in the river and how can I resist?
And roll from my sleep in the gloom of the sediment now I've come hither
A zebra's asleep at the switch when it gets in the eyes of the crocodile slither.
So swim you must the herd must cross but I move in beguiled
And smile at some old joke passed down from the eras Paleozoic.
So deep within my lizard core the toads who contemplate snakes' slither
We've been here in the bucket when you dropped in on crocodiles. Come hither
But beat your wings at things you cannot reach we've known all the while
That whales and pandas come and go but cold the blood's reserved for fire.
I twist around in time and space to face the path of least resistance
So gather your rainbows and lollipops this world's for crocodiles.
We can wait it out we're rolling as you wither
A zebra to pass the time but earth's for crocodiles.
We can wait it out we're rolling as you wither
A zebra passes time and I say come hither.
Crocodile crocodile crocodile crocodile crocodile that's why I smile
Crocodile crocodile crocodile crocodile crocodile that's why I smile
A joke from the Paleozoic, a giggle from the Jurassic
A crocodile!
(Now from the riverbank: skirt strength.)
Playing it to the wrong speed, lip service to the right need
Playing it at the wrong speed, lip service to the wrong need
Spinned erect in all directions, lip service to the right connection
Been direct in the ripe Jurassic this world belongs to the crocodile.
Spinning into reflection unending infinite reflection roll away the stone
Give it a smile, lip service to the rolled stone.
Hey, come hither,
I twist a knot in time and smile, I live among the crocodiles
I put a pocket in the space and time and smile: come hither if you walk, if you slither.

Who owns whom and for what ends as we own on owned and traded back and forth like speculative cargo in the vessels? Don’t like the truth? Just raise the roof and every body under it are the See’s business now you buy them and sell them like cattle, bind them to the soil by debt and deed, drive them round the lands and pen them like they’re steed but once you spot the illusion there’s no more delusion. I’ll be a being here but I won’t be bound to Earth, once I know the playbook then I’m of no more worth. Renouncing my certificate I’m free to fly about wherever my self leads me, in and on and out. So whoever owns my beat and bones hope you’ve used my means so you could grow, I’ve released the debts you’ve owed to me, release the oath. I’ll be mortgage free and you’ll be all a loan, you’re all alone.
Bandito
I deny you bandito going to pick a side turn invisible you won’t recognize me now you just move along bandito. This Swiss inclination of neutral it’s going to mess you up. Season’s scent ascend it’s a step it’s gonna move a meaning out move them in and out, you’re gona give it up, it’s gonna mess you up, thieves and banditos gonna mess you up. Thieves and raccoon banditos in the night a tipping company, they’re tipping everything, tip over every thing, mix and mess it up they’re gonna mess it up. I got a shake of black pepper corn in my bag I’m gonna shake it out I pick a path then I move a pepper out, gonna pepper up, they’re gonna sniff it up, they’re gonna take on off, they’re going to sniff up my pepper black. They got addicted to the excess that we take out to the dump, take out to the dump, already set and jump who wants to dig a grub? They’re going to give it up they gotta newer drug. Miss, how I felt when they were never, no, I got an enemy now put a pepper up a nose won’t put a bin on out cleaning up the house.

Negotiable

She’ll find a way over, the streets are negotiable, converting a cheque or converting a soul, it’s all negotiable. She’ll find a way through, posit a question to you, deposit a tender, services rendered, it’s all negotiable. When lovers wrote letters, caught up in a landline, distance between measured in feet. When text is a category, signatures, ink; wait see if love or regards preceding. When text is a category, signatures, ink; wait see if love or regards preceding your name in the letter, copy delete times consumed sealing and posting, send it away and over, she’ll find a way over, your name in the letter, copy delete times consumed sealing and posting, send it away and over, she’ll find a way over.

What kind of loving do you need? What kind of love love love love love? What kind of love do you need? Do you want the good love? Do you want the bad love? Is it mind or body, money or deed? Cos I’m going to love, I’m going to bleed, and no need love dies from entropy, so does greed. Gets, feed, and hungers, so does greed, what kind of love love love love love? What kind of love do you need? Do you want the good love? What kind of needs need to be fed before it can be freed? Do you want the good love? Or the great beyond? Which do you need? Or you want the band love? Then love is gone, then love is gone, then love is gone, what kind of loving do you need? What kind of love love love love love? What kind of loving do you need? Do you want the good love? Or do you want the bad love? Isn’t it mind or body or is it money or deed? Cos I’m gonna love.
You eat you’re hungered, you need to sleep, you sleep you’re slumbered, you need to eat, you need your brain washed, you’re brainwashed. You live to need this, shiny keys, you sleep to shake this, shaking dreams, you need your brain washed. Populate with products oh brainwashed your brain washed. Shiny keys! Shiny keys! Shiny keys! Feed the need! You need because need oh you’re brainwashed. Brain botched! Products! Name the brands, go! Life long, got the brain, got my love you, got the need. Got the getting old. Live, live a long mind, love left on the mind, gone in the night.

I’m a narcotic, I dream in stereo, cashing cheques, automatic, life ordained flies like an arrow, start to finish, not ended yet, sequel studies, entwining variables, I’m in the city park, I serve to disparate the needs, salted dinners, hearty attires, packaged food traps, pedestrianization, it’s crack! Cold cutter nation, enchanted places, blushing red at all that’s left unsaid, I’m an antibiotic, I’m an antidote, I dream in narcotic. Spending moneybacks switching in the tracks, life unscripted unfolds like canvas rolled to flattened, scrolls to read it, posted humans unwitting peons, I’m a city street creating destiny, I see on wilted planters, empty bus stops, lost in transit, trancendeltalnation unspoke development, unworked element, unshaken excrement, unmanned partners, red brush, she said my cheeks are jowels, oh no! I need to gold rush, she said the conduct takes me. Automatic, automatic, cashing cheques I’m automatic! I’m narcotic I dream in stereo I’m anecdotal dream in narcotic, I’m narcotic I dream in stereo, I’m anectodatl I dream in narcotic cashing cheques! Automatic! Cashing cheques has she had it? Spending moneybacks, switching in the money trasks, life or day die like an arrow, life unscripted unfolds like canvas rolled in flattened scrolls to finish it, I’m not ended yet, I just need to read it start to studies’ sequel to variables, entwining bodies, posted humous, unwitting humans, posted poems, I’m a peon I’m a city park I’m disparate needs and I serve in the dark. Salted attire, heavenly dinners under bus stops empty platters lost in predestination prepackaged food trap transit, transcendental nation, unspoke developments, cold cuts under my nation enchanted rim unchanted red blushing I said left unsaid, “red blush” said my cheeks, they joweled and blushed and under me this spending money got to me this spending money, scrape my knee! I may be.
