lyrics

I take a pill for disaster relief,
8-ball for an eye, hurricane cyclops…

Needle-point a thousand miles wide…

This prescription is nothing more than
words on paper, eyelashes floating in milk…

My bicycle begins to grow
Dali’s moustache for handlebars—
flowers to pick at the finish line…

Along sidewalks, pigeons without wings
spread under ice, keeping wrong eggs warm…

Under turtle-shell umbrellas we dance
while our burning homes
race pills to empty bottles…
