i want to study the white spots on the page not to be filled in and if humour should take me under some sort of wing then cut me free oh brother, please be patient oh brother, please be patient with me when I was thirteen i use to push my hair to the left now I pull it behind and he told me a means less satisfying thinking he was speaking to the king of that town i burnt my young man's hands on the candlelight vigil of some earthquake that I tuck behind my ear now whatever rain may come i'll be shutting down the trouble i'll be finally putting my name in that hat oh brother, please be patient oh brother, please be patient with me

Ready 2 Die 02:42
i can't find the words to say how i can't find the words to say how even when we're still we're falling away and maybe I'll come back someday with better jokes and a different face or maybe i am drowning to stay and even though we're use to it we're getting older all the time and out bodies know, but out minds can do nothing better cartoon daydreams will not feed us older folks don't want to meet us We are slowly turning into she now we're ready to go now we're ready to die and someone in the back shouts- i'm not. goddamnit, i'm not. it's alright.

Io 02:58
sailing all the way back home sailing accidentally to some frozen other place and folding up some paper swans thinking she can make it to sleep before sundown she is trying to change her name to io searching everywhere for calmer daughters. and then her lip starts bleeding as reckless airplane cuts its hands upon the moon she's going in- going in for the long wait writing his will on a postcard the only paper he's left himself to recon with and then moving to the west coast going for broke to turn glass back into sand pulling dead men from the sea and with intention not taking middle names and you said something sweet once on the phone and twice in the ambulance you're going in- going in for the long wait
4.
the dying warm lay sleeping like an occasion it's not an occasion it's not an occasion and standing on the hollow snow like it's not made of air like it's okay, like it's over what are they to do, what are they to do? the fire now is spreading just like it's always done to lovers who got drunk last night and thought that they could walk and she works at the museum 'cause she wants to smell like rust like she's okay, like she's older what are they to do, what are they to do?
5.
the way he say the things he drew the marks it made beside the moon now someone's lost a golden ring and i found a flashlight more than once on the beach could be, could be. a short conversation and a long, long one, too cause this airport is real for those lying the truth now please call me by my heavy, wooden real name- i am a bowl full of dead swallows. you're my best friend, you're my only friend, so tuck me in.

Heikki Poika 03:43
he tries so hard to remember he beats the fog in the old folk's home saving a moth begging to leave the lights on in the bathroom, he's falling in love praying long, being split by the river the train tracks in dreams about sleeping the tall pines, the deep snow, and the big big cold- cold enough to kill john henry. with a note in his shoe to correct his age john harvie would not die a liar and the west keeps on turning but those are the jokes they made in 1939 so forgive me, that courage only taught me how to smoke and drive in the winter forgive my grandfather for crying cause he'll never speak to god trust me in the snow, trust me in the snow
