starbucks

just turn 
at the starbucks on the corner
which corner?
doesn't matter
which starbucks?
any one

equilibrium 2

you wreck my balance
I'm falling over
into the grand canyon
of desire
you've got your talents
no law and order
I must abandon 
walking on this wire

I got a neon sign in my head
saying danger baby
you'd be better off dead

          equilibrium
          you wreck my 
          you wreck my
          my equilibrium
          I'm gonna tumble tumble
          equilibrium
          you wreck my
          you wreck my
          my equilibrium
          I'm gonna tumble tumble

I am not grounded
there is no center
the world is shaking
beyond my control
I am surrounded
by signs: do not enter
all this earthquaking
gonna swallow me whole

I got a neon sign in my brain
saying danger baby
ain't no home on the range

          equilibrium
          you wreck my 
          you wreck my
          my equilibrium
          I'm gonna tumble tumble
          equilibrium
          you wreck my
          you wreck my
          my equilibrium
          I'm gonna tumble tumble

Evened-out

Tell me about Yakima, farmboy. Did you have a good time?

Yeah, it was…good, but I had this one main thing go wrong. Which was the container I have my meds in fell out of my suitcase somewhere. Anyway, I didn't have it and I know I packed it.

So those meds include my antidepressants. So essentially I was kinda in detox mode after a day or so.

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear that, farmboy. How are you now?

I'm evened-out. But, let me tell you, it's a good thing I came home when I did. It would have been bad if I had stayed there another one or two days.

I'm glad you're back.

Me too, man. It's a fuckin' shame when you spend the holiday season with emotional things happening that you don't fuckin' understand.

Other than that stuff, Yakima was fine. I liked all the open space and Mexican restaurants. It was great to see my brother and his wife and child. All in all, it was a good Christmas.

And you?

It was pretty low-key, which is the way I like it.

Yeah, really, ours was too. Which I like as well. You know, the yearly tradition of the Christmas nap.

everything but the truth

you got excuses
you need to believe
you got something sinister
up your sleeve
you got everything, babe
yeah, you got everything
everything but the truth

you got your reasons
honey, I got mine
it's a shame that your heart
was fueled on turpentine
you got everything, darlin'
yeah, you got it all
everything but the truth

equilibrium

you wreck my balance
I'm falling over
into a canyon
of unwanted dreams
you've got your talents
your law and order
I must abandon 
all my practiced schemes

I got a neon sign in my head
saying danger baby
you'd be better off dead

equilibrium
you wreck my 
you wreck my
my equilibrium
I'm gonna tumble tumble
equilibrium
you wreck my
you wreck my
my equilibrium
I'm gonna tumble tumble

back from Yakima

Hey, man, just writing to let you know that I'm home, back from Yakima. I'm glad I went but I'm so fuckin' tired right now, it isn't funny. So I hope you had a merry, merry Christmas and I'll catch you later.

no more history
where it is unneeded
I will be here today
