lyrics

"most battle rappers are either homophobes or bitch-made.. "
- Bleubird

"pop culture's all puppets & playthings
look at the unwitting male pin-ups in the mainstream
i'm nobody's pipe dream, nobody's wet dream
and my daydreams are hardly gonna pay me"
- Staring Flak MC

i look forward to it with sweaty palms as side effect
reflecting the transfigurative nervous twitch of a second hand echo's glow
most private inward & beautiful on display in glass house
with chickenwire fence that we watch all stones bounce off and sink
like...
rumbled witches in moat?

"the doctor was a fake but the pills were real"

"someone's left the church on again, excuse me a moment..."

the ringworm on my right foot resembles a three fanged bite
we are made from russian tank parts, distorted prayer box
and circuit bent miscellany community keepers
protectors of picnic hampers & christmas companies bust.
the seasonal shops that open one month a year in the shell of
someone else's failed dream sequence
another moneymaking scheme from hapless horseheaded charlatan
my commiserations are reserved for the record alone
and left ocean city leaflets on beerpuddled tables
sketching the most intricate details in the yeast
for tourist / insurance salesman in pseudo-hawaiian shirt
to wipe his sleeve unthinkingly across
and erase my most finest creation
the peak of my half-hearted lager self portrait career
the best i could make in said medium
it's all downhill from here....
