Brains








Starting the day
Staying awake
Everything will change
While you're asleep
While you're breathing
Do you believe
No one is waiting
Brains without names








I found myself turning back to look
At the seas of people beneath me
Betrayed the design by release of immature emotion
I went to work
Had my suit jacket and hat in hand







A gate's crashed and flung wide
Used by our servants;
Heads are hanging







I went to church and forgot I ever could believe
Questions for the past of their clear minds
Were their thoughts without designation and division









Something desperate's up my sleeve
And no lines allow for mapping
Cause I close my eyes and feel the teeth of the machine








Walking on,
Us underneath
Ever harder to believe
I was ever holding my suit jacket
And hat in hand
Your nightmares/your creation








I objected with a knife
And when I finally let my guard down
I was in the middle of the sea and drowning









Don't be afraid
Don't be afraid
Everything will change
While you're asleep
While you're breathing
Do you believe







No one is waiting
Brains without names

Everyday Robots









'They didn’t know where they was going, but they knew where they was wasn’t it'






We are everyday robots on our phones
In the process of getting home
Looking like standing stones
Out there on our own








We’re everyday robots in control
Or in the process of being sold
Driving in adjacent cars
‘Til you press restart






Everyday robots just touch thumbs
Swimmin’ in lingo they become
Stricken in a status sea
One more vacancy







For everyday robots getting old
When our lips are cold
Lookin’ like standing stones
Out there on our own








Little robots in ringback tones
In the process of getting home

A Woolgathering Exodus







the compass is stuck; 
direction destructs
petty for want of maintaining a precedent
the canopy smirks at argument












a verdant recess worthy of still-life
feet on new floors & the charms of an aleph
genesis in the occident
parenthesis of a continent







allegiant to the idea there is only a right place
eras inside themselves, unrepentantly effaced
I clutch my few, who stay with me like an aura
& tend the garden well, giving rime to the flora








the compass is stuck
the lamb is amok








the compass is stuck;
directions destruct

What was said






After what was said
I can't help but sleep with one eye open
The integrity of what we share
Is now unconvincing
The greatest love
Both is and never was
I carry on
But I can't forget
What was said






After what was said
The things you really think of me
That's fine
Cause I think that you're pathetic really
Just like your family
The words break free
Much too easily
My best friend
I can't forget
What was said






There's a hole in everything
And I have yet to see the proof
Of friendship 'til the end
And not 3/4 the way through
Of love that perseveres
When seen in close-up too
My dear friend






A heart cannot be true
Not completely, so what to do?
I've always left just as the leaves were changing hue
Why give life the chance
To make another mockery 
Of our dear romance
Better to come and go
Honor the weeds as they are meant to grow






There's a hole in everything
And there's nothing you can do
It's always out with the old
And in with the new
No love without the whisperings
So why pretend it's otherwise
Better to be on the road
Than in a house of cards and lies
I rid myself of friendships
With fungus on the rim
Of love that had gone sour
A merciful killing
Rid of insincerities
And rid of all poison
I sent them all to hell
And nobody was left




The greatest love
Both is and never was
I carry on
But I can't forget
What was said

Cascando









1

why not merely the despaired of
occasion of
wordshed

is it not better abort than be barren








the hours after you are gone are so leaden
they will always start dragging too soon
the grapples clawing blindly the bed of want
bringing up the bones the old loves
sockets filled once with eyes like yours
all always is it better too soon than never








the black want splashing their faces
saying again nine days never floated the loved
nor nine months
nor nine lives








2

saying again
if you do not teach me I shall not learn
saying again there is a last
even of last times
last times of begging
last times of loving
of knowing not knowing pretending
a last even of last times of saying
if you do not love me I shall not be loved
if I do not love you I shall not love







the churn of stale words in the heart again
love love love thud of the old plunger
pestling the unalterable
whey of words








terrified again
of not loving
of loving and not you
of being loved and not by you
of knowing not knowing pretending
pretending








I and all the others that will love you
if they love you








3

unless they love you

Little Bluebird









I know a little bluebird
I sure wish she would sing for me
I'll tell you all, I know, I know a little bluebird
I sure, I sure wish she would sing for me
She's been flying around so long, oh Lord
I wish she would land in my tree






Every time she goes by, I want to cut her wings, yeah
I say every, every, every, every, every, every, every
Every time she goes by, oh, I want to clip her wings
So we can lock up in her nest together
Oh, I'll buy her pretty things, yes I will







Oh, little bluebird,
please come and nest with me
Oh, Lord, have mercy, little bluebird
Please, oh, please come and nest with me
Oh, I'll make life so wonderful, baby
You and me in my tree, oh

Normal







Here is my car, my phone and my TV
I've got it all but you can see through me







But am I here?
It's kind of hard to tell
I do a good impression of myself
But what's normal now anyhow?







Sullen and bored the kids stay
And in this way they wish away each day
Stoned in the mall the kids play
And in this way they wish away each day






Prescription drugs they help me through the day
And that restraining order keeps me well at bay
But what's normal now anyway?







Sullen and bored the kids stay
And in this way they wish away each day
Stoned in the mall the kids play
And in this way they wish away each day





Wish I was old and a little sentimental
You gotta see the waves, looking for the bottle in the waves now

Η φωτογραφική εγκατάσταση παρουσιάστηκε στη γωνία των οδών Γάτου και Γιαγτζή στην Άμφισσα

"12 φωτογραφίες από τον πρόσφατα καμένο παραδοσιακό ελαιώνα της Άμφισσας εκτίθενται στις βιτρίνες ενός καταστήματος που παραμένει ξενοικιαστο εδώ και μήνες στο κέντρο της αγοράς. Μια φωτογραφική έκθεση που στόχο έχει να παρουσιάσει μια άλλη πλευρά των εορταστικών ημερών που διανύουμε. Η ανθρωπόμορφη παρουσίαση των καμένων δέντρων και η οικονομική κρίση δύο στοιχεία που έχουν σημαδέψει τις φετινές γιορτές για την περιοχή των Σαλώνων."

I Can't Stand The Rain







I can't stand the rain
Against my window
Bringing back sweet memories







Hey, window pane
Do you remember
How sweet it used to be






When we was together
Everything was so grand
Now that we've parted
There's just one sound
That I just can't stand








I can't stand the rain
Against my window
Bringing back sweet memories






I can't stand the rain
Against my window
'Cause he's not here with me







Alone with the pillow
Where his head used to lay
I know you've got
Some sweet memories
But like the window
You ain't got nothing to say








I can't stand the rain
Against my window
Bringing back sweet memories






I can't stand the rain
Against my window
Just keeps on haunting me
Hey, rain
Get off my window...
