Out of curiosity, I jump
Out of my bed, I find
Out of my world, a way
Out of stupidity, to cease Out of inferiority, to bear
The things that hold me back.
BREATHE, THAT YOU MAY BE HEALED
Breathe that breath of healing
The second your second foot touches the ground. Take it in before dawn, Take it in even after you yawn.
Breathe that breath of healing The minute that minute idea is revealed
Watch it as it is gaping, watch even as it is going. Breathe that breath of healing A shower of wise thoughts, a shower for good odour. Feel it as you pull, feel it as it pours.
Breathe that breath of healing
A mellow...
Sorry. This is boring. Just ummmm...
Breathe that breath of healing, but don’t cough.
But it’s funnier when people cough.
LOVE IS NOT A REAL PLACE
Wake up, quickly wake up. The world will not wake you. Your dreams, they’re dreams alright, The longings of your heart. Deep dark dirty dancey drama Love is not a real place
Step back on earth, back down to earth. Gravity will not pull you. These fictions, they’re intelligent The iterations in your mind Rich raw reckless rebellious rituals Love is not a real place
Look right, look now to the left, The cars will hit you while you’re not looking. This world, the world exists The skeletons along the road Big bent broken bitter bones Love is not a real place
The pains of the skin,
the tongue, and the bone,
squeeze out of their host,
tears of salt.
The same goes,
for that of the heart. Love, is not a real place.
A GEM THAT WON’T GERMINATE
Sow it.
Wait.
Some water. Weeds. Kill the weeds. You must kill the weeds. Green! It’s green. What is that? I’m watching it grow. There is nothing here. Nothing here but soil. Pressure. Sow it. Pick it up. Sorry. Gems don’t germinate.
WISDOM SLAPS
Pha! [On the left cheek]
Youngster you’re playing
Pha! [Another one on the right] Who do you think you are?
Pha! I’m talking to you. Pha! You can’t hear?
I’ll show you flames. Have you been baptised before?
But what have I...
Pha! Just shut up
By the time I am done with you...
By the time I am done with you...
Ey! Where do you think you’re going?
Pha! This head
Pha!
Pha! This thick head... Pha! of yours
Ahhhhhh I’ve seen. I’ve seen you.
You think you’re very intelligent. Wait a little bit. Just a little bit. You’ve heard? Pha! Have you heard what I’m saying iwe? WISDOM SLAPS!
PARK, REVERSE.
Your seatbelt, put it on After you lock the door Or your house may be robbed
It is better to move after you start the car
Did you close the windows? Check before you start reversing You might hit someone if you have a break-in
You won’t understand If you don’t check your oil frequently The door will start squeaking You will knock it And low gears are good for mud More power, but use lighting only when necessary You won’t get stuck. The house is safe. Park. Your reverse lights are on.
OVERSEAS VEGETABLE
Fly the avocado across the seas
Oh fly the mango overseas.
Fly the pawpaw across the seas Oh fly the guava overseas.
Forgetting not no vegetable.
Forgetting not to weigh it
against the flight of the pig,
and that of the cow.
FIRST BRIGADE
I have been charged to lead the first brigade Me? I look around me
Many, many, many I see Forging. Ahead they keep forging
Hurdles? They get around those
They all have the strength
I think they trust me
Not really clear what they see
Stained glass, sight but not clean
On their own they won’t prevail
Do they doubt themselves?
Fully-grown, fully-grown halves I can’t explain their confidence
Something must be amiss
A well-magnified dirty lens
To see their chance for victory
Is it what they don’t believe?
Lessons, lessons from Kyiv
I should carry out the mission
Suffer the pain, nurse my lesions
I suppose that is the vision
Speak to them and we will conquer
That’s what they need to hear Persistence, persistence the end of our war is near
We all have strength We’ll get around those. The hurdles
Ahead we’ll keep forging. Keep forging
Many, many, many choose me. Me? I’ll try to find the reason
I have been charged to lead the first brigade
IT’S FUNNY WHEN YOU ARE WEAK
When you are weak, you forage for company as you would mushrooms Friends: they’re hard to come by when you are weak. When you are weak you have to venture into the forest,
You have to risk it when you are weak.
When you are weak, you sweep your ceramic floor with a hard broom
Problems: they’re hard to solve when you are weak. When you are weak you have to do with what you have.
You have to try when you are weak.
When you are weak, you scream like a child afraid of an injection
Shoulders: they’re hard to cry on when you are weak
When you are weak you need a handkerchief.
You have to hide when you are weak.
When you are weak, you look in the mirror as did Cinderella.
Compliments: they’re hard to hear when you are weak.
When you are weak you need to speak to yourself. You have to shout when you are weak. When you are weak, you need to be able to change your punctured tire.
Supports: they’re hard t rely on when you’re weak.
When you are weak you need to go home. You need to be independent when you are weak.
Isn’t it funny?
SHE WON’T BREAK
Fighting. She started fighting. She started out fighting.
Guess how she’ll go out?
Fighting. She started fighting. She started out fighting. Guess how she’ll go out? It’s coming from everywhere
Daddy has habits
He loves his daughter
Mummy doesn’t hide it Different waters
It’s coming from everywhere
Mans is undecided
He doesn’t know how
To act like he likes it
Time to go now
It’s coming from everywhere
Work is exciting
Seventy hours
Tick-tock staring
Sleeping hours
It’s coming from everywhere
Family invite me
To waste my time
Friends who love me
Don’t waste my time
It’s coming from everywhere
Fighting
She started fighting
She started out fighting
Guess how she’ll go out?
