LIKE A HEART ATACK

walkin down the sidewalk
on a day like any other
when your mind catches
on a rusty nail
thought that you'd left it behind you
put it out to pasture
suddenly you're running off the rail
it's like a heart attack.
hands are shaking thoughts all break
into a million pieces
reign of panic falls all over you.
your mind is your property
so why can't you control it?
to keep you from feeling like you do?
it's like a heart attack.

turning all the freighters in the harbor
cause they can't turn on their own
turn them round and send them back to sea
toward their company and homes
feels good knowing that their bows point
in directions they will need to go.
better now but when you least expect it
your mind drifts to long ago.
years before your eyes were hooked by hers
a blue that filled you to the core
daugher's laughter bouncing round the room
you thought you'd never want for more.
often you'd put out to sea for weeks
because you had to pay the bills.
killed you to be away and it was one of those times
that they were killed.
car accident:
angels are spent
broken like a lightbulb dropped from a great height
yet wholly by yourself.
the bible nor the bottle seem to help you so you
leave them on the shelf.
lost at sea till waiting in the harbor before going out again.
watching tiny tugboats turning giant ships your heart begins beating.
get behind the wheel:
change the way you feel.
tugboat turn me round and send me back to where
i once belonged.
keep me from sinking like a stone.
i've lost something but i'm still alive
and now i need to carry on.
turn me away from being alone.
turn me round.
ooooohhhhoooohoooohoooohoooooooohhhhhhh

i think we agree
we need a skeleton key.
no one is at fault
but we're both throwing salt.
a wrist rocket to shoot the lights out
and to slay our enemies.
(figure the rest out yourself ya lazy jackwad)

HURRICANES

hurricanes will come and they will go
but you're the hurricane i wan to know.
neither of us has said that much yet
so how about some black coffee instead.
she had red hair
she made me stair
she sat next to me much to my surprise.
make me crazy
join the navy
write you love letters from out at sea.

fingerprint
coming back
and climbing up the stairs:
i never dreamed that I would ever
see a place so bare.
dusty squares where your paintings used to hang
empty kitchen down the halls
there's no trace of you at all
it's an unfamiliar sting.
think i'll turn around
and go back out the door.
drink myself toward a vain attempt
to forget you'd ever been here before.
just when i think that i can scratch the itch
i see a set of dirty rings
her parting gift
left on the lightswitch.
all she left was a fingerprint.
all she left was a fingerprint.
fingerprint, etc.
