Medicine ManThree middle ear bones
And hair Prove I’m a mammal Flapping senseless naked vulnerable Desperately rubbing My warm-blooded chest into the earth Reincarnated from Some bewitched dancing shaman Seeking to regain Simple primal Visions of Lost truth Satisfaction No amount of technology Can provide Or understand Background NoiseParts of the background blur-
marginalize and compartmentalize. Listen - I stand here screaming in the dark – Don’t you hear me? As you turn away, ears closed - I am background noise I am background noise I am background noise I am background noise I am background noise I am background noise I am background noise I am background noise I am background noise As I bend, blend and sway to the rules, Getting stuff out, and letting things in. Background noise in people's lives – Not important enough to actually listen or matter I am background noise I’m the one who shapes my life to fit the needs love can live in. I am background noise I am background noise I am background noise iWantiNeed to know what's up -
what's going on? iHave to feed my addiction iPhone injected into my central nervous system iPad the truth iFeel the vibrating pulsating alert iTouch the anxious frenzy iStrap on turn on put it in me iBoot up background noise masquerading as more iNformation The Little ChairHeld up a man
who spoke to himself as he typed into a laptop And the little wooden chair didn't know about circuitry or words or Starbucks And she wondered why these things are more important than her mother tree Just so a man can sit on her while talking to himself bewildered |

Salt and ChocolateShe said she loved me
Not like chocolate but like BBQ potato chips She liked the crisp snap the salt but the depth wasn't there She misread the ingredients and treated me so lightly like the little empty bag with some crumbs in the bottom My bitter sweet dark milk chocolate soul was missed the sugar ignored Not that I don't like chips But the big hunger kept burning The big hunger kept me hollow And she couldn't digest the words from my mouth that left her tongue tied like the bite taken out of an empty chocolate figure - with salt in it's wounds |
