Pacing without turning is just walking
I am steady burning daylight in the back room of my mind
with a homeward heading, set on forgetting
I ever knew that place in time
Moving on while I draw outside your lines
The weather blows by
& you scrapbook everything or you'll forget it
Write it down or tell me what's on your mind
while I'm making graphs of all my plans
& drawing charts with hurting hands
If I don't draw this out, it'll fall apart
& I'll wake up to the rhythm of the ground underneath
giving way to the "it'll never happen to me"
& the more you think it won't, the more it's gonna hurt
when it gives out underneath you
& people don't believe you
"you don't look autistic"
What the hell is that supposed to mean?
Do you think that we all look alike
Would you put down your magazine for me
I would like to tell you just how wrong you are
but I won't
You should read a book
or just get in your car & drive away
They say it takes all kinds of people
to spin the world around
everybody knows the moves
& the words & they're all just getting down
Bust a move while I'm standing over against the wall
with the ugly ones, the quiet ones,
the weirdos & the ones who can't dance at all
I'm all 4 so I fit in
5' 4" with a fear of sin
instilled in me by Warren Baptist Church
though it turns out that most of what I learned
was crafted just to make you hurt
when you think of loving people;
you should sell your steeple
& feed the houseless folks here in this town
Industrial-sized kitchen & a 7 figure budget
You could, but you won't; you really let me down
anyway, to everybody else, about life in general:
How do you know how to do this
I do not have a clue; this is a mess

The sound of Iceland at night. Cold and gloomy but with a danceable pulse. Need to make a full visit someday. Fun fact: IcelandAir had their albums on the flight music selection.
