“A hole! A hole!” The Tesslesnort roared, to an audience that paid it no bother. “Do you not see?” It let out with a plea, that no one chose to answer. “There’s a hole in the sky!” It continued to cry, as others continued on past. “It is letting stuff in! And you are letting it win!” No one heard fall from its mouth. “You have to believe me!” It yelled at a She, that stared suspiciously back. “Your life is not safe!” It tried to explain, until the She walked swiftly away. “Your money, your houses, your children, spouses! They will never recover!”

Yellow sneakers tearing down the road Just as I turn to leave I can't remember what her name is So I just wait for her to wave Forget my friends They're all worn out Dead on the floor Is what it's all about But I keep on talking It's all the same Until the last one Forgets my name Forgets my name I forgot her name And there's nothing you can say to me That I have not heard once before I ignored it then just like you did You listened to settle a score If I could try To fix these blues I would go back Just to hit snooze Just to stay in bed So we can skip that day What could have happened What would you say What would you say What would we

Quick and easy is how it felt When you popped off like a welt The blood was simply out of respect I had no desire to reconnect Then I misspelled Pennsylvania For the forty-eighth time And that forth-eighth time felt like I was going to die 
It’s not that I was worried Or even that I gave a fuck I just didn’t want to be alone And I was running out of luck Oh, Melissa You’re out of my mind Oh, Melissa You’re through So when you called me on the phone I answered without a ring I wasn’t waiting for the call I am sure I had something To occupy my mind While you were off at school You said you needed time I sa

You never made it very far You never came back like you said West Virginia has you now And I’ll never see your face again And that shit is staying now I can’t knock it off the track Every time I try is one step forward And two-hundred forty-seven miles back Now I’m breaking Now I am smoking pot Now I’m drinking Now I’m being what I am not I want you to hear me But I am talking to myself I want you near me But you’ve left my life for good A quick drive down, a quick drive back A quick four hours ain’t so bad But when you’re not in that car with me That quick four hours is eternity Now I am a

Mom was so nice Mom was a hen She had many children That all totalled ten She was a great lady She just had a bad time She used to have ten kids But now she has nine She opened a window And one fell to his fate She used to have nine kids But now she has eight She threw a large bottle At a young one named Kevin She used to have eight kids But now she has seven Mom dropped one head first Into a pile of bricks She used to have seven kids But now she has six She watched as one speared Another with a knife She used to have six kids But now she has five Mom hit one so hard The girl just fell to the floor She used to have five kids But now she

I could see you between the snow flakes Like an old TV on a windy day And I knew I had to cross the road Away from my biggest fear - seeing you Because I may never have what it takes To come up to your stupid face and say How many emotions I had hidden and stowed Away from the surface when me was you too I don’t know what I am going to do in school Or how I am going to find a place to live I know I may never become what I want to be When I finally grow up and am thrown out onto the street But knowing I am far ahead of you is enough fuel And knowing that the world has learned to not give And is finally taking from you like it is a fee

Five fish frantically flop from above Flipping flapping fins all down Four fish from five flee from the scene For friends form up in town Fredrick the fish freezes right there Foraging for fancier words From Fredrick forms fearsome creatures up top For Fredrick now fears the absurd Fish just want worms Some that wiggle and squirm They hunt and scour all day When some appear before them They do not question nor bore them They just gobble them and go on their way But these five were caught Yes Fredrick was got Brought to the surface for air Bright lights to blind them And buckets to bind them But you’d never imagine what else was the

Wave goodbye to the moon To the planets and stars To everything on Earth To all the bustling cars You said you’d be leaving Over an unanswered call You told them your worries But there was no return at all You packed up your things And kissed your daughter goodbye You left in a hurry Your car flew like a fly You arrived at the place From which you would escape Scheduled at 3:55 You were a minute too late Where there should have been chaos Silent just fell But it relinquished quickly And it rang like a bell So say goodbye to the patrons From the young to the old Say goodbye to the workers Who just do as they’re told As more f

Have you been to where the sidewalk ends Far beyond all the twists and the bends Way past where all the workers stand After all the buildings, gray and bland Where the grass can grow tall and green Where the air is safe and clean Why should one stay where they can't hear a thing When you can go somewhere you can hear birds sing Where the ponds are all blue and the river runs free And each family of squirrels have their own tree Where nature is natural and ever so sweet Where plants and animals meet Let's take a walk down this path, freshly paved Hopping over the part where the concrete caved Past all the cracking, the gravel, the dirt Where
