melody at midnight

harmonize with me.

harmonizing, we.

dual dial tones,

dilly-dallying chords.


dread the dead dawn,

that sad sack o’ sun,

cold and wet and

just around the bend.


when sound swims

and sight vibrates,

when speech gets gummed

on wobbly walkways…


we’ll link arms and

lean into the wind.

harmonizing, we.

harmonize with me.

some front page drivin' news



"what a handsome couple we'd make,"
i said before i kissed his friend
and he hit on my sister.

i'm workin' on my night moves.

your side of the bed is cold.
so i sleep diagonally,
and think on the sunrise.

(night moves)

i saw the sunny sign
swimming in my vision
on my way to the train.

(night moves)

got that deadline
down cul-de-sac time
gone by gone by.

waitin' on them night moves.

bye bye,
birdie baby,
biggie boy

wtf
way off
wrong mongrel
wager
winger
mingus
motown
miller time
mailer time
morrow time
more time
more time
more time

no more time.

it's funny how the night moves.
