bones stones and parables moans of the stegosaur bones rattle all around us with a deafening roar bones whistling the flute so hard that your lip's sore we dreampt up dragons before we dug up dinosaurs I can't remember tomes dirt beneath our brick paleontological guitar and drum kit homes made of blood and stick we're sending our soundings from the walls of the basement somehow dismember evolutionary reverie envision the reptile King entangled enraptured on ivory wings

another deliver at 6AM another morning without saying hello another day of getting angry at nothing of wondering why the ground is tangled so so try to climb cloud vines to upper stations leave my idling truck below climb cloud vines to upper stations and fill the paperwork out black line on white background gratification mind clicks print to the silentest route printer prints sheets of silence out i'm calling the department of transfer and shipping i'm checking off boxes with a ballpoint pen my heart malfunctions whenever it feels like do i qualify for pre-approved disconnection the bureaucratic cortex of the angel's hallways says your neural passages have turned to dirt we're faxing the department of transportation your heart has run away and it does not hurt i'm calling the department of transportation my heart has run away i won't run after it i'll just sit still yes i can hold all day

when you see land you will shout out ho! when you taste the grapes you will know and when smell john brown moulderin' in his grave his soul is marching on- glory glory halleluja! glory glory hallelu! mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the lord he is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored he hath loosed the fateful lightning of his terrible swift sword his truth is marching on- glory glory hallelujah! glory glory halleluh!
