THE FUTURE (Ain't What It Used To Be) Forestville CA 1993
Everything happens at once / Everytime is the same time
I heard you shoot yourself the other night / It was the right time
The future ain't what it used to be
---
You ate your gun like good neurotics do / I was so proud of you
You know it had to happen / We knew it had to happen
The future ain't what it used to be
---
We used to admire the future / As we watched it from afar
What has happened to the future? / Where is the atomic car?
The future ain't what it used to be
---
The future used to be shiny & bright & hard / Like your gun
Now it's soft & squishy & icky / Has the future even begun?
The future ain't what it used to be
---
Now we look back at what was to be / Look forward to whatever was
Look down at the sky / Look up at the ground / See what nothing does
The future ain't what it used to be
SHIPOUT (spaced) Forestville CA Sept (?) 1993
Your chip booked us on the transport to Triton
We armored-up for the ride to SFO
SecuriTee burnt three punkers on the way
Another morning, another show
Shipout
---
We caught the shuttle up to transfer orbit
I stared at your legs as long as I could
I watched your breasts and thought of the Coast Range
I saw your smile and thought of redwoods
Shipout
---
We climbed in our pods and began the trajectory
They shot us with suspendents and we slept
---
The circuits flashed on as we circled 'round Neptune
I woke woke up screaming like I do so much
They couldn't wake you - will you live again?
Already I miss your expressions, your touch
Shipout

(I Think We Call It) TOUCHING Forestville CA 10 Aug 1993
My hands are cracked & rough as they stroke your throat & whisper
Your lips are dry & rough as they brush the back of my hand
I think we call it touching
----
My ears are hot & dry as they glide under your hungry lips
Your toes are long & supple as they slowly enter my ears
I think we call it touching
----
My tongue is furry & foetid as it follows the curve of your toes
Your fingers are crooked & crabbed as they trace along my tongue
I think we call it touching
----
My navel is expectant as it envelops your fingers
Your breasts are pneumatic as they circumnavigate my navel
I think we call it touching
----
My ankles are protruding as they buffet your breasts
Your throat is soft & dreaming as it rests upon my ankles
I think we call it touching

summer Forestville CA 1993?
I touched you
you writhed and moaned
until I pulled the cactus away.
Late last summer.
--
The opuntia blooms are that magenta,
that incadescent magenta,
that burns your eyes out
in the mid-day sun, showing
that it's summer on the high desert.
Early last summer.
--
A puma came down from the hills
You weren't mauled too severely
--
Through binoculars, the horizon
is obscured by blowing sand,
sandpaper hurricane moving our way.
Right this summer.
--
My way is to remain quiet.
Your way is up-hill.
--
I hear the silence.
I hear the look on yuour face.
I hear the storm on the horizon.
I fall into a jazz-trance.
All this summer.
SOMETIMES A CIGAR IS JUST A CIGAR Forestville CA 1994?
I'm standing under the perfume tree
And I'm drenched by the sun / and the pigeons and crows
And everything I know / is right in front of me
And the dry wind is eating at my nose
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar
---
She's got three rings in her nose
But she gave me a ticket anyway
For parking beneath the Sign of the Rose
At the end of the runway
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar
-
The jets are jetting over / the boats are boating by
The birds are still circling around me
The wind is still dry, still dry
The tree is still a tree
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar
THE WORM Four Mile Lake OR 10 Aug 94 - Cape Mendocino CA 12 Aug 94
Hush, children, be quiet / I have a terrible tale to tell
Hush, people, don't talk / I'll tell you about the worm
The worm that devours your mind
The worm that steals your data
The worm that crawls out your dog's ass
The worm that slides thru the grass
---
Hush, children, don't whimper / There's more to the story
Hush, people, stay down / The worm is just overhead
The worm that burrows thru galaxies
The worm that binds the clusters
The worm that turns you to dust
The worm that patterns the rust
---
This worm breathes fire & ice, farts fog & flame
That worm is crystalline, metallic, iridescant gray
Those worms are tangled beyond recognition, creative, chaotic
These worms fall slowly thru your nightmares, shining red, erotic
---
The one-eyed worm call you in the voice of wet lust
His salamander brother bites and burns you to the last
Their butterfly twin emerges and spreads his black wings
Thier hideous chorus of love weaves a golden ring
---
Hush, children, be silent / The song is not over yet
Hey, people, shut up! / The worm could be listening
The worm that knows no bounds
The worm that can't be found
The worm that tells no lies
The worm behind your eyes
LET'S DRIVE (boogie) Forestville CA 1994
Let's drive
Road north
Valley edge
Vineyards
Cut west
Wilderness
Rock slides
Salt air
On the coast
I'm dead
I'm alive
Hit the beach
Jump in
Swim to japan
Dry off
Sunny day
Let's drive
FIRE (C&W) Forestville CA 1994(?)
As she nailed me to the door, I asked her, "WHY?"
She mumbled around the nails, "I'm outa crosses just now"
I could accept that, it's deforested out here
She finished and smiled, "That'll do, my dear"
---
I got kinda nervous when she picked up the torch
She reassured me, "Don't worry, it won't hurt much"
She lit the curtains and the blankets and the mattress
And she slowly peeled outa her old wedding dress
---
And she gave my cock the sweetest little kiss
And she sighed, "I'm kinda sorry it has to end like this"
And she danced right out the door
And I waited for more...
THE JEWEL Forestville CA 1994
I wanted to love you / I had to try
I needed to keep you / You had to die
My reasons are meaningless / The taxes are high
You're right at the edge / And now you'll fly
---
I soaked my spirits in spirits / Where is my spirit now?
I covered your jeans with genes / Where did my Jeanne go?
I filled my head with the undead / Death, where is your kiss?
I scratched your diamond eyes / What jewel did I miss?
---
I think I told you / I love your elbows
I love your toenails / And your years, your nose
I wanna hold you / I wanna mold you
Tight against me / Til our follicles close
---
I think I told you / Let's live forever
I never lost touch / Never asked for very much
I was never mucho macho / Not too borracho
It's always too soon / We're not alive before noon
---
I reached into your ears / And pulled things out
I looked into your brain / And felt emotions float
I tasted your sweet tears / And lost first that, then this
I scratched your diamond eyes / What jewel did I miss?
