Switching stones

The switch in stones
stepping into such spaces
is air and the economy of cigarette butts

blue tomorrows carried in a brown paper bag
a left over acidity when a single shot darkened 70 years
we can't be sure but the devil stalks the moscow metro

there's something about the plan
then planned and executed with care for details
derails all other options when this too is uncontrollable

you might say go to the devil
and ask for a blessing to be had for success
this is neither feather nor down

publicly speaking
what if we set this town on fire
it's as much a birth right as it was wrong to be born

silenus ends silence
breeding myths and rivers
best to forget solutions and concentrate on the moment

the question is asking itself an answer
another way to break the surface of it all
and what exists excites and enters the skin to be remembered

I was talking with Liv the other day, and I realized what's wrong with you.

You're obnoxiously way too interesting. Ya look like an ordinary dude ("No, you're Lebowski. I'm the dude!") and you've got this poetry english professor thing goin' on, and you can spin records, and you can hack email, and shoot pictures, and multilingual, world traveler, blah blah yackety smackety.

That's way too interesting. Just fuckin' stop it, mmmkay?
