Lonesome Jones<br />
When gravity settles in,<br />
the pull makes your blood boil<br />
As you step off for the last flail<br />
or kiss off,<br />
we’ll sew your feet to the ground,<br />
with fishing line!<br />
It’s so unsettling,<br />
it’s bounded<br />
I’m down with it<br />
I’m down to see it breathe<br />
We’ll get a big kick out of muddy fangs,<br />
a big kick out of gaping holes and fiery eyes<br />
A lonesome jones just sitting there,<br />
like cornered prey<br />
realizing that nothing ever changes<br />
Because gravity is so unsettling,<br />
it keeps you in your place<br />
It tells you to shut the fuck up,<br />
after the consoling stops<br />
A lofty attempt at something big<br />
may gouge those shifty eyes,<br />
but the screams can’t drown the laughter,<br />
can’t stop more pressing issues<br />
The realization never changes<br />
Sunshine Slowdown<br />
Pull the sunglass lens over your eye,<br />
brake for the rising sunshine<br />
Another morning might have been the one,<br />
