1
The man in the starry tie
2
Led me talking backwards
3
Across the waving chips
4
I spoke fantastic, like a prophet
5
Like a piece of blood
6
Where no doors are
7
And weary now i set upon the good year
8
And the wrench
9
Wrenching out of me every
10
Ready of light
11
That i might get it right
12
And walk away
13
Into the metro sunset
14
The golden metro may
15
And now across the plains
16
Take your child
17
The highway sign, banana trees,
18
Windows parted and hoping
19
See the flat faced delicatessen
20
Sweeping up the afternoon
21
Pick up little pieces of meetings
22
And on your way
23
Here is the donut shop
24
Here is the early morning light
25
Where i would drool in chlorine
26
Yes here is the early early mornings i spent training
27
And here is the highway
28
Chasing 'j's' out on his empty skin
29
Looking for license plates
30
And liquor stores
31
Over there is new mexico
32
And down there is corpus
33
You can find my mother and me wrapped up in a warm
34
Scotch on the rocks
35
The numbing ice of each others eyes
36
Looking just like now
37
For relief
38
There is no direction but past
39
Every thing else is passive
40
But if you would seek me
41
Seek me there
42
In a field
43
Or a gas station
44
In my american mothers arms
45
Before she is too medicated
46
To remember
47
How to say my name
48
Say it gently, just once more
49
For me mother
50
With the sounds of trucks and distant trains
51
With the gold sticks
52
And the burnt skin of prayer
53
Bathe me once again
54
In hot oil
55
Silence and long, long days
56
Car keys and dash board lights
57
Bears in the garbage
58
That sweet honeycomb
59
Of memory
60
Don't weave the web too tight
61
Don't catch me tonight
62
Speak to me in cool lines
63
The steering wheels turning
64
Where ever we go
65
Dinner approaches
66
The fire light
67
Of high beam and lipstick
68
Laughing the red midwest
69
Her curled curtains
70
Wild and a strand of me stuck in her mouth
71
Wet always an outsider
72
To the cities i create
73
The entire east comes upon me and i
74
Reeling in stars
75
Grip the wheel
76
A good girl, really
77
Just don't know how to stop
78
