1.
I saw the rabbits disappear into the brush A woman walking in a black gown on the bike path at dusk The full moon climbing up, up, up I fell down and hyperextended my thumb Is there a thread to be followed there? I'm not sure. Is there an overarching narrative? I'm not sure. Rabbit, black gown, full moon, fall down.
2.
Atmospheric river, lay me down, spray me down. I'll float around. Though I may be drenched, I won't be... ... quenched
3.
Two brass bells Air flowing through Pressed tight and Intermodulating Can't hold true Wild and doomed Scattered like an interference pattern In this bright room Light and windows We'll intermodulate and Scatter
4.
There was a room that the light had never seen So I broke the window to let the light in There was a room that the lint had never left So I broke the window to let the lint out The light came in and the lint went out And they passed each other at the broken window
5.
The Creature 00:30
Put on your clothes and step out of your home and get something to put into the maw of the creature The creature's silent but it makes its demands known
6.
Drum Beat 00:37
Do you want to listen to? Do you want to listen to? Do you want to listen to a drum beat that doesn't stop? Drum beat that doesn't stop? I'll push the button and turn it up Drum beat that doesn't stop? Drum beat that doesn't stop? I'll push the button and turn it up and leave the room and take a walk
7.
Dug 01:02
8.
The photograph of eyeglass frames that didn't work Your brow so heavy your skin so fair The color that washed out your hair the forgotten ones you would have worn the whole benefit year
9.
Gap Year 00:37
I took that gap year threw everything that I had in my knapsack and headed out far away I smelled smells and I heard voices Unfamiliar vistas rising All the voices said "don't go back" But I went back - Took everything out of my Knapsack Unfolded random maps on the old kitchen table, pointed there, and said I'd go back But I won't go back.
10.
By the way, you've been dealt a bad hand. Don't just let it pass. Get it looked at. Incidentally, you've got a bad gland. Don't just let it pass. Get it looked at. Run your fingers up your family tree. Each and every branch. Each and every leaf. Your unknown and unclaimed property. Don't just let it pass. Get it looked at.
11.
I'm a Mess 00:44
I'm a mess - can you deal with it? Bless this mess! This blessed morass to inhabit To etch its way into your cortex.
12.
Rolling around in my car in Tualatin - It's the last nice day of the year! This music was recorded last month, but it sounds like it was made in 1972. Condo dwellers joggin' round The Lake of the Commons! Nothing in this world can ever change! The autumn light glints off of the fake lake! The singers are signing "doo-doo-doo." I'm burning moderate amounts of fossil fuel. Rolling around, coasting on - past glory!
13.
I ride, I glide ooh-ooh-ooh Through your leafy neighborhood Getting side-eyed as I ride ooh-ooh-ooh Through your leafy neighborhood I long to be there, but I don't belong there.
14.
There was a farmer had a dog The dog had a name It kept disappearing every day. The dog kept having visions that each night a letter was removed from his name by a child. Replacing it, in turn, with a handclap. Premonitions of being taken out back.
15.
Lint 00:34
We're tumbled and tossed into fibers reduced into list into dust that are blown out the vent to be seen in the frost into heaps to amass to be caught in a trap and thrown out with the trash
16.
Listicle 00:17
I read the listicle. I'll never get those 19 seconds back. My eyes hurt from the interstitial ads. It wasn't good, but it was short. Nothing remembered and nothing bought.
17.
999,999,999 00:40
If I go one more it will be unclear so I'll stop here. A nice place to be. This certainty. Before we get into milliards and billions This ambiguity in front of me. So I'll go with what I know. Keep things nice and slow in the face of the enormous task before us.
18.
Owl Mask 00:45
You put on that owl mask I don't know you. Don't know those eyes, don't know that beak. I don't know that owl screaming in that tree.
19.
In their fatigue a memory The flashing things they used to be Ringing out! Fearsome, dangerous! Now bringing up the rear of an ox
20.
Poetaster 01:03
The plonk in September propelled the poetaster into the arms of the post-grunge vocalist Blink and you'll miss it- the sperm to the ovum, divided in thirds and now whining for Paw Patrol. Buy Here! Pay Here! Eyes on a 4Runner - he signs, it revs, DVD screen descends She's traded chapbooks back into scrapbooks And he's doing dishes, dodging calls from Sweetwater An amp in the corner A meniscus of dust on top A discarded mommy blog And a lifted Toyota to loom above the fog
21.
Some things don't last too long, Princess of Songs - They just flitter through the ether, glitter in the stratosphere, assemble in our TVs - one night only! But still we remember and sing along, Princess of Songs. Much much later we remember how it smelt and felt through that little speaker. Memories assemble, awake we startle, sleeping at the mall, but we sing along, Princess of Songs.
22.
Prompt! 00:25
23.
I remember that second time in that second room - [wait, what?] But then I remind to the harsh old grind - all those tangled wires - All those books and tapes - All those brief escapes
24.
They cared so deeply - It didn't matter then or now, but the void needs voices To push the night forth, to modulate the Amplitude of Sadness Holes in our hearts and air to fill
25.
Septembers 00:35
We bungled and lumbered through nightmare Septembers The fruit of the harvest Was no good - We did as we should, but our hands were unsteady. Winter upcoming and we weren't ready
26.
Plastic Snorks you picked up in a parking lot and schlepped around from town to town. Decades pass on dusty shelves - they stare back from the bric-a-brac. Let's give them back - Release them into some blank bin in some parking lot A mediocre universe In which they'll never Decompose
27.
He's got his head in her lap And she's on a cell phone In the middle of a huge lawn At dusk Half lit by the moon But more by the cell phone They look bored - what more to do? A summer at home
28.
Shine, shine, shine the insides of the structure Nobody sees it But it's gleaming
29.
To Be Right 00:28
It would have been so easy to be right under the garish stage lights But the wrong words tumbled from my mouth They just wanted out It would have been so simple to be right I wouldn't think about it at night. I'd write a date on the VHS the triumphant fate of the contest
30.
Underliving 00:47
I saw this hill and found a home The curves of this ridge became a home The time I put the spade to this hiill Turned landscape into dwellingplace I underlive under you I underlive under you
31.
Why did the man put the car in the oven? There's multiple answers to any question So there I was at the end of the line, rehearsing the joke I'd told a thousand times And time went forth and time elapsed and soon I was sitting in that man's lap. The question came out fine, but I blew the punchline. "Because he wanted a hot rod!" "Because the cake was in the garage!" Both of those answers were valid - but not the stupid thing that I said.
32.
This world's remote and this world is small It's well known I've mapped it all In every corner of every frame I've taken measurements and left a name
33.
Zoo Keeper 00:22
Everything's falling apart. I can't hold it together. The beasts seek release and they're gnawing away at the walls of their shelter. Everything's spinning off axis faster than I can process. It gets faster and louder and then disappears into phosphor and clatter
