lyrics

Chahko Mika Mall Parking Lot

Every spring they repave
and collect cluster analysis

that suggests pigeons
bathe in silica crowns

nested and humming
a soundtrack uttering directives:

LAY ON GROUND
REIGNITE FIXED STARS
RETIRE WINGS QUICKLY

Proudly pound on yer chest and sing,
“Sea Otter Sea Otter!”

Godzilla Squad gargle
applause lines like young lions

vibrate like a prayer bead
every time I hear myself read:

Da Da Da Da
Nada Brahma

Happy Horse Happy Horse
where are you?

I’m dancing in circles
I’m practicing psychomatical rotations
roasting a globster on a spit
a Kokanee Blob
over a hot fire
are you fit?

3,2,1,
done

civic minimum,
“You come everybody come!”

This festive loneliness
caught on phone

a paranoid glitchnoid
tootin’ a parking cone,

“It’s a craft sale too ya know.”
Yes kidney’s blanket-stitched

like tweaking cobblestone.
Now the organs are workin’

movin’ along at a real good click,
“In a hundred years I’ve never heard like this.”
