1
I breathe
2
My throat clenches
3
Clutching to exclude
4
A dozen different stenches
5
In Falmouth Bay
6
A blue whale rolls
7
Gonna drown in the swill
8
From city sewer holes
9
Summer's longer
10
Deltas gashed
11
Ancient trees
12
Uprooted, smashed
13
Time is generous, more, take more
14
Time is generous, more, take more
15
Time is generous, more, take more
16
I must outrun the dinosaur
17
As to your question about how this will affect your career
18
The great artist is just like a child
19
And intuitively understands the need to submit to the audience
20
Do you begin to see the secret?
21
A silent temple
22
Marble-hard
23
Decays and softens
24
Battle-scarred
25
A relic deaf
26
To bits and streams
27
And polo-necks
28
And perfect jeans
29
Obsessed with silence
30
Spiked by noise
31
I hold my son
32
I plan his toys
33
Time expansive, more, take more
34
Time expansive, more, take more
35
Time expansive, more, take more
36
I must outlive the dinosaur
37
Lastly, you must be prepared to test yourself
38
Why not try the song I have enclosed?
39
It's an outtake from a secret project I'm working on called
40
"Gridlife"
41
The tape you sent shows you can sing, so sing
42
Rising rivers
43
Drown new shoots
44
Words and breath
45
In death cahoots
46
The strong survive
47
To wean more brutes
48
Who grow and seed
49
Extend their roots
50
Cowards, bombs
51
And scab recruits
52
Like monkeys trapped
53
In monkey suits
54
Time is plentiful, more, take more
55
Time is plentiful, more, take more
56
Time is plentiful, more, take more
57
I must outfight the dinosaur
58
Time is plentiful, more, take more
59
(Take some more)
60
Time is plentiful, more, take more
61
(There's plenty more)
62
Time is plentiful, more, take more
63
(Just take some more)
64
Time is plentiful, more, take more
65
Time is plentiful, more, take more
66
(Ah, take)
67
Time is plentiful, more, take more
68
(Take some more)
69
Time is plentiful, more, take more
70
More take more, more take more
71
Take more
72
Take more
73
