As the windshield wipes and exhaust pipesAre coughing out some winterIt's a splinter of what I once containedAnd I suppose the whole world glowsA little for the squinterBut you recall when all that fire rainedAnd nothing very solidEver thaws away the squalidJunk-drawers that us whorish people knowAnd while the junk collects interminablyOther things will certainlyThaw away so swollen with the snowI've mythologized the worlds you're fromThe nervous taste of chewing gumSome high school facesBasements you protectBut in the spring a cork I'll findIn the side-yard to remindThe New Year's souvenirsI must collectThe sun looks pretty hot todayThe snow's about to rot, they saySo maybe I'll drive all the way to LansingSongtexteIf nothing's able to stay staticPerhaps we left some strips of fabricBloodied up and streamingIn the fencingAnd is it possibleThat the hospitalIs waiting for all?Without stall, it will bawl allThe life out of youBut nothing is ever lostThe piled past is cataloged and tossedInto where it is stored inSome vestigial organIt pumps inside of meThe bile and the memoryThe bathroom tile of ivoryThe carpet sponges so absorbentlyNothing is ever lostNothing is ever ever lostBy now I've declared you drive a hard bargainIt's a pardon every time I hear its nameWhen my tongue's stung by every dripping juice-hole in the gardenMy world goes mute, my cute words dumb and lameFor the dental office arthritics and mental softness heart-criticsWho can't process me or the sophistry I live inI will pluck the soft weight of ripe loveThe sticky teenage-sweet type ofRespite that the black-night bites are givenWhere it's probableI'm unstoppableFrom all that triesTo chastise the damp eyesMy world contains?
