I fell asleep surrounded by words My pillow bursting with the wings of birds When I awoke they had all taken flight Like so many dreams that turn in the night They were lost to the light I knew a man with a devilish laugh Like rolling stock on a railroad track That hacking cough…
Trigonometry
Greewich Meantime is mean to me I mean time is too fast to see Many seasons, many loves As if your love was not enough From southern breeze to northern snow there’s a line that I must toe Other girls fall in between To tempt me from this path serene…
Slaves
From the legions who are marching on the road which never ends There are some of us who stray off to the side Down the road which forks and bends In the name of independence, in the name of other truths Abandoning the temples and the shrines In the name of our youth…
Song Without Words
A pointed remark that gets under your skin like a splinter Can work through the veins and permanently lodge in the brain I wouldn’t want something I said, to hurt you and mess up your head And so just for you I have written this song without words…

The drizzle that dampens every crevice The grime that soils each dream This nation that’s forged its own shackles The red brick that’s swallowed the green It’s no place for one of such beauty The poison will soon reach your heart They’ll scuffle your shine ’til it’s blackenned Come take your chances with me…

Who Hurts The Most
The valentines we send each other Year on year are just a cover Witness to an ever-growing fear That Cupid who we fed and flourished Will fall to earth now undernourished And love’s young dream will fade and disappear When words we want to hear Are not enough to keep us near When we tear…
