i think about art and
i think about madness
are they truly joined at the hip?
was it Van Gogh who was crazy
or the world that is crazy?
if i could touch the face of the gods
i'd trade my ear, i ran all the way home
to read the words carved in cement
by my house (it says) "live the life that you love,
love the life that you live" but I'd rather have
a penny for every time it told me "NO"
i shoot these flaming arrows at the flag and say
deny, deny, deny if that's what gets you through
like that night that we ran through the Audi dealership
smashing windshields, an absolutely pointless
and immature act, but it quieted our minds
at a time when everyone and everything
(the setting sun) was asking: "why, why are we here?"
but i'm pretty sure now that i will never know...

these broken fingers keep me from holding on too tight
i turned and looked away from the angels face
