wisdom teeth
01:06

i had a dream about my wisdom teeth and what you mean to me. you never came to my front door, i was just asleep...
i never found love meeting eyes on the street, falling over my shoelaces, and only writing songs when i'm sad about having a dumb crush...
(i stick my head in the sand)

pville 2

when you left me in the rain in pleasantville
i didn’t know what to say, i just walked to the train
stepped out of the diner
saw your name, saw your bike, saw your face
headed to grand central
out of pleasantville
on the ride back i knew you’d be back later today
when i first met you vacuuming, i couldn’t hear what you were saying
later you told me all the shit that went down at suny purchase
my friend once again at suny purchase
(when neither of us are in pleasantville)

entitlement
02:06
|
|||
you make me feel like cornmeal & i quite like my current shape; unmolded by the hands of others, takes a long time to bake. entitlement is a funny thing - you have it most when you think you have it least. no need to text me.
if you hate new york just leave for california. your air of importance will just feel warmer. since you hate new york go back to california. your air of importance will just feel warmer.
entitlement is a funny thing. warm hands help me catch a cold every october.

best foot forward
01:57
|
|||
decided i don't need my best foot always forward with every single person i meet. i'm letting my hair grow down, trying to remind myself that not everyone i meet is an instant celebrity.
in my mind i'm looking up to you,
in reality you should be looking up to me
my reciprocity is inherently one-sided, making my flock impossible to herd, my ice impossible to unfreeze
pouring hot water on the car door handle
duality is snow shoes and soaked feet
pouring slow honey into fast tea
i've stopped thinking about it as i fall asleep
decided i'd rather trudge through the snow before i see you

your intentions are disguised!
i waited for you late last night
but today i spent the day inside
i don't understand why you couldn't say hi?
didn't go to your show but you came to mine
you look me in the eyes and....................
ooooooooooo
we talked on the internet and it didn't get past that
met up at the show
didn't know who you were for like three hours
but you knew who i was
you came to my show and somehow didn't say hi
your intentions are disguised!

lightning bolt
01:23
|
|||
love of my life takes shape & form before my eyes. in a snowstorm, i sure thought, meeting eyes across the street, maybe not.
serendipity recalls the smallness of the city. when i left for long island, i understood what was meant by “see you next times.”
you’re still a ghost and you still float; my love is like a lightning bolt.

validity
02:03
|
|||
i won't look you in the eye unless i have to
not that i don't think you're wonderful to be around
it's just that we're lying flat on the ground
and based on what you told me, i don't think that's such a good idea
*
all you do is blow everything out of proportion
all i do is misunderstand your intentions
i think i misread the situation
i thought you wanted me to
*
until you lock your carabiner onto mine
i have no evidence
even then, i'm left with no imprints
validity in tangible artifacts
remnants of texts
a hello in the street means something to me
stupidly!!!

brunch
01:32
|
|||
re-meeting you at brunch, acting as if you've never met me before when you and i both know you're the guy outside my window -- yelling when i can't sleep (keeping me up is a courtesy).
halfway through the conversation, you let it spill (less guarded you'll admit to everything). walking up closed down streets, putting traffic cones in front of turning lanes. as a chore, you play in the roadway (as the steady stream of break lights stops on reds).
as a courtesy you keep me up, as a favor you ask for my name (you knew it anyway).
as the truth reveals itself you'll find i know more about you, and you about me, than either of us had originally thought.

marbling New York, New York
driving in the tri-state at night when the traffic finally lightens up after the worst rush hour you can remember. on your
left are 18 wheelers and on your right are pickup trucks and a dog is sticking its head out the window.
