my heart is for hurting; i don’t wonder why
i can see this is not how you feel

the ground is beneath me; above, a blue sky
you can see in my smile that i’m real

i’ve not much to let go of
you could see it in my eyes, if i were you

i am one to let go of
but even as i am…

my head’s for betraying the nightmarish dreams
i can see that you would not agree

nothing’s entirely all that it seems
am i not nothing, entirely

i’ve not much to let go of
you could see it in my eyes, if you see through

i am one to let go of
but even as i am…

i can love you

and i love you too

Have a good friend–a true “bad weather” friend–who not only loves this artist’s work but the artist as well.

Due to Hurricane Ida making landfall, authorities advised people to stay indoors all day. sparking local parents’ rights activists to start sending their children outdoors to play. “It’s my right, my decision, not the government’s,” said one mother.

Local residents are taking every measure to ensure their health and well-being in advance of Hurricane Ida’s approach, as one local something and proud something else says that his emergency kit includes a gallon of water, a flashlight, and Ivermectin. “Take Ida seriously and pack at least 3 days dose,” he says.

Life on a star
feeling like the once and only
get my souvenir or two

needn’t go far
love’s a drug for closet lonely
call it anyway that we want to

high for the low
yes surreal, but together, hold it
gotta think of everyone on cue

good could be great
if we weren’t camera shy
we’re everybody’s everything but not true

when you look for something more than just an alibi
when you know what you want isn’t loved by half of hell

if time will be kind to those who have played wrong for right
and if i see where this is you

you’ll see me too

burn like a star
hot and bright and forever and ever
the light won’t shine on what we see

high on the low
good and sure it’ll last forever
or at least until it isn’t free

when it comes down
to what’s gone down, it helps to be clever
what we have’s not what they see

into a universe we seem to know
it’s infinite in everything but fear and me

when you look for something more than just an alibi
when you know what you want isn’t loved by half of hell

if time will be kind to those who have played wrong for right
and if i find where this is you

you’ll find me too

good fortune, bad luck (don’t we)
we all learn to love (but we)
do not know that sometimes this
will complicate a simple kiss
and what we think we live with well
turns a corner to tell
us
to sit down
and listen

where did you go
and why do you always run from
anything that’s not what you think is you

tell me all about it
over lunch sometime
when you’re through with what we are and do

when you look for something more than just an alibi
when you know what you need isn’t only show and tell

we choose to get by or better–but there’s reason why
we never really tried to think this through

it’s nothing new

it’s up to you

I’ll see you
