Drove across the line for fuel
Saving thirty cents per litre,
If I save it long enough
I might go to the theatre.It’s getting harder and harder
To get earth to donate blood
Soon I’ll need a boat
To sail upon a flood.

Wood and nails
Hammer made rails
Climb just to climb.
Ascending so high
So far with each try,
And so far to fall.
Build kingdoms just to watch them fall
Have children and then see them crawl
Experience the best teacher.
So this castle though broken
Is of learning a grand token.
Go on and do great things, whoever you are.

I don’t speak toddler fluently but I’ll try my best to translate.
Beauty is mine to hold
Embodied in my hair of gold,
My daddy tells me so
As he watches my dances.
I spin and spin
To my favourite songs,
Spin so fast as to
Alter the course of the earth
From around the sun
To around the Son.
Who else could make a beauty such as mine?
Who else could make a grin with such shine?
I know this for certain
For my daddy told me so.

The best part of sleeping is that you don’t have to be awake.
This girl I know, she’s pretty special.
IF YOU’RE READING THIS AND SHOUTING IN THE PRIVACY OF YOUR OWN MIND YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT THE MOST DIRE NEEDS, THE DEEPEST URGENCIES, ARE whispered.

Blink
Clad in not but sand
You make clear your demand
Everything eventually runs out of blood.
The blood that launched a thousand ships
Powered by your blood,
Ironic,
Catatonic.
Blink once if you’re alive,
No I said blink not start a hurricane!
Blink twice if you can hear me,
Ugh you and your volcanic outbursts.
You mother estranged from child
You hostess with most unruly guests,
We learn but oh so slowly.

Medicine
Some poisons are sweet to taste
But destined to invade,
Some medicines are bitter to the tongue
Though whole again you’ll be made.
Though it’s true not all invasions are evil
And medicine is not food
It’s going to take all your fight
To combat this blight.
Ooh to sort one’s thoughts out
Question each and every one,
It’s grueling and exhausting
If you give up I don’t blame you.
It’s less like finding a needle in a haystack,
More like finding the needle in a stack of needles,
The one with ill intent.
Do you know where to start?
First avoid any natural tendency
And see if your feet find better ground,
Then walk into the light
No matter how much it hurts.
– Vagabond Prophet
Why do ideas slip away as fast as they appear?
Faster even.
Filaments flickering in an already dimly lit mind.
Vagabond Prophet
I thought witches were all bad,
Until you cast your spell on me.
Vagabond Prophet
I’ve tried taking walks,
In the shoes of all kinds of people.
People with few shoes,
People with no shoes,
People with more shoes than 17!I’ve learned the journey hurts everybody,
No matter the shoes.
