Good Deeds/Being Watched

  

      GOOD DEEDS


all kinds of good deeds
we do them in our dreams
we kill terrorists and nazis
we send Godzilla back to the sea
and we ride the life eternal
of movie stars and superheroes
into the sunset of our golden years
yes, all kinds of good deeds
we can’t be bothered while awake
we  do them in our dreams







                 ABOUT
                 US


    our displaced
    energy
    could
    re-route
    rivers
    and
    approaching
    bombs
    had we any
    reason






    Lubv Birds


get glue for all the peeled up feathers
that have tumbled off my fake blue wings
everybody knows I'm a red red bird
everybody knows you are a red red bird
why did we glue blue feathers on our red wings
and why did we sand paper
the gold from our beaks?
and why did we drop our eggs from ledges high
instead of letting them burst open
in our home by the river?
I don't know why I act so stupid
and why I let you act so stupid
and why you let me act so stupid
we are divebomb fliers
and our claws are razor pliers
we are scatterhearts,
we never know what we want
but we stay together in the middle of storms
and we stay together in the midst of snipers
and the sound of the hungry cats sends you huddled to me
and the sound of the crazy cats
sends me huddled to you
it doesn't matter as long as we are allowed to go down together




Being
 Watched


when all else fails
I will be good
when all else fails
I will be good
when all else fails
I will be good
