had too much to dream last night
composite people, day, night
couldn’t run, feet stuck, playa mud
running scissors, matches light
saw screwdriver hammered
spelling from alphabet soup
busy, confused, understand
fell from boat, water all ‘round
dry-docked and swimming in sand
no life jacket, but Mae West boobs
reading the alphabet cereal
oh yeah, way too much to dream
lost spans of years over night
time slowed, sped up, redeem
by blast from a nuclear sunrise
counting alphabet letters
today is a newer start
in darkness the same way returns
it rips the lungs, that bleeding heart
no way out, cycle continues
sing aloud the alphabet song
had too much to dream last night
movietone and signal’s lost
path goes one way, broken sight
built up, burned down, quiet mind
One, two, three – alphabet numbers
