Behind the Wall of Dreams (Nitroglycerin Milkshake)
There is a woman knitting dreams.
She knits like spider webs your thoughts into dreams.
An intricate and delicate network of strings she weaves
Like the Spiderman on your sheets and pajamas.
She seems to know your life.
As only someone bitten by a radioactive spider could.
You ask yourself as you dream:
“Did that spider bite cause any inflammation?”
“Some red swelling would not be unexpected.”
Still she knits and weaves.
Now she’s using her sewing machine as that spider bite
has caused some sensitivity as well
and some numbness in her right hand.
You wind up dreaming about a giant spider.
And a red open toed shoe stepping on it.
Grinding it into the carpet.
Now she’s using a loom
that she bought at that big crafts expo.
When you wake up you are refreshed and at peace.
There is a woman knitting dreams.
Her infinite sadness she wears
like a beard of bees.

your thoughts into dreams
an intricate and delicate network
of strings she weaves
that is your life
she seems to know you
as only someone who has known you
your whole life could
although you have never met
as you dream you think
this is not the life I expected
still she knits and weaves
years go by
you end up dreaming
that you are still a young child
when you awake
you are refreshed and at peace
there is a woman knitting dreams
her infinite sadness she wears
behind the mask of lifetime
Here Comes Gravity (Nitroglycerin Milkshake)
Here comes gravity.
Red dress half way up her thigh.
Holding the universe together.
She makes the ocean’s tide fall and rise
I’m sorry did you say something?
I was still thinking about that red dress and thigh.
Yes, with the ocean’s tide rising and falling,
this would probably help you determine
if is a good day to go clamming.
Here comes gravity.
Red dress half way up her thigh.
She paints the Painted Dessert
with her infinite sunset.
What? I don’t know if it’s a good day for clamming.
I think there’s a tide table in the back
of your sports page you can probably consult.
You don’t get the paper?
And you want to borrow mine.
Fine.
Leave the rest of the sports page I haven’t read it yet.
You can keep the tide table.
Here comes gravity.
Red dress half way up her thigh.
Bringing the light from the stars.
And the rain from the sky.
Yes.
With the break in the weather it is probably is a good day for clamming.
Can you borrow a shovel, and a bucket, and my car, and my fishing license.
I don’t have a fishing license.
Then my credit card.
You know there’s a whole seafood section down at the grocery store,
that I’m sure can satisfy all your clam needs.
Here comes gravity.
Red dress half way up her thigh.
With a snake-like movement of her hips she sheds her angel skin.
She can take me down any time she wants.
That’s the law of gravity.

she brings the light from the stars
and the rain from the sky
she makes the ocean’s tide fall and rise
she paints the painted dessert
with her infinite sunset
on a day like this I can see forever
when I can see the future
in her smile
here comes gravity

with a snake-like movement of her hips she sheds her angel skin
she can take me down any time she wants
that’s the law of gravity
