the laughter boat
the laughter boat
docks at sadness
cargoless and blue
docks at sadness
cargoless and blue
i would give my vada pinson autograph
for a vision right now,
religious or otherwise
for a vision right now,
religious or otherwise
i walk around the park
counterclockwise
trying to unravel something,
counterclockwise
trying to unravel something,
anything. in the air
the bells of st. anthony, sirens,
and the whir of a ceiling fan
the bells of st. anthony, sirens,
and the whir of a ceiling fan
the neighbors voices are a murmur,
on windy days my house
creaks and groans
on windy days my house
creaks and groans
i hear sounds
i want songs
i want songs
