Prelude to Predicament
02:12
|

Prelude to predicament not a bad place to be
It’s before the problems the fix can come easily
Foresight so far ahead it’s now before-sight
Forward focusing failing the present as a slight
Might be better follow your outline to the letter
Getting them “going got gone”s from the go getter
Prelude to predicament not a bad game to play
It’s before the rule set that the real rules are made
It’s the tool set that makes a shovel called a spade
Compare my arms to fresh boiled linguine pâté
Still rubbery, I blindly take the flank yelling cover me
Belay the tofutti but keep it vegan and buttery
Prelude to predicament not a bad tone to tune
Grew tired of the warmth so exhale a steam plume
Grew tired of the snark so I went to the park after dark
It wasn’t so bright
We both knew you were right
Prelude to predicament not a bad seed to sow
It’s not the lack of loss that will help us grow
There’s a watch in my wordle and I’m feeling pissed
Crank the de-esser hard and it’ll sound like a lisp
Prelude to predicament not a bad song to sing
It’s the conclusive closed mind when presented anything
It’s hopeful to be groom with his grandmothers ring
It’s the bumble bee butt raise before the sting
Prelude to predicament not a bad noun to verb
It’s the optimistic nihilist submitting to the absurd
Reflect so far back, it’s now be-hindsight
Retroactively dim the line of sight nightlight
It wasn’t so bright
We both knew you were right

Touch the sun
While I kick this mood
Peel the package
And zest the groove
While citrus press
Adds a lemon punch
Devour wheat puffs
Before we go to lunch
A ramen runner
With a rice based noodle
While fronting as if
I’m groomed like a poodle
Reflections will fix
Like tunes and a jog
Develop new powder
As deodorant for dogs
Greetings good morning, how are you?
Sleep well, or just okay?
Greetings, good morning, what to do?
Errands out? Or Chill day?
Hug the light
While I chart a map
Traced through an outline
So we don’t lose track
Carefully unmarked
All well placed traps
And broke the lead
Off in the input jack
Stripped the wire bare
I’m struggling to care
Let this jam grow out
On you like bad hair
I made the lines
To do well in polling
Neglected to mention
Path is experts only
(Greetings good morning, how are you?
Sleep well, or just okay?
Greetings, good morning, what to do?
Errands out? Or Chill day?
Greetings good morning, how are you?
Sleep well, or just okay?
Greetings, good morning, what to do?
Errands out? Or Chill day?)
Another day is another wake up I guess
The urge to fall back I fail to suppress
Like my bare palms blocking a hard breeze
As my slipper-less toes inevitably freeze
Is it school today or cartoons on the couch
Pajamas or jeans I’ll maintain a slouch
I’ve got more than enough almond butter puffs
And if there’s no obligation I keep the scruff

A Bit of a Yogi Myself
02:35
|

A damn fool
I took the wake up for granted
Could you imagine a worse made mistake
While the dinosaur turns to jello underneath the lake
The two four stroke burner gets what it can take
And the process goes forward but it never ever breaks
I left my guard up
Which might have been a blunder
Got my orders out of
The lightning after thunder
Subtle is the suspension of disbelief
Stretch by the moment stretch for relief
Stretch so the dog is downward
Stretch for your health you coward
Stretched for time, stretch for the connecting rhyme
Stretch like in college, I stretched a dime
Stretch it all out it the general point
Stretch in a matter that is good for your joints
The idea is
To become a little more
Flexible
Stretch like the gum gum man
Stretch like Catdog can
Stretch like a yoga calendar plan
Stretch like I stretch the key of the jam
If the cop asks you later stretching is the plan
Next time
I might drop my guard
Let it all down
Not to an end
Next time
I might roll with it
Just go as it is
Steady as it goes

Oat Milk Latte
01:28
|
|||
Fresh it’s a homemade affair
Something direct I can make with care
Unlike tunes, I’m pulling double shots
Espresso step one for a latte on the spot
Boil water, preheat that vessel
If it’s not fall skip the nutmeg stencil
“It’s overly indulgent,” I’ll be sure to tease ya
I get such a charge when you call me your barista
A variety of ways to whip oat milk
Attachment to steam wand is silk not felt
Add a sweet before for a chance to melt
Or rather dissolve only a little will help
Use a spoon to scoop and lower in the foam
Into a vacuum if your intent is to roam
I haven’t got the hang of that artisanal pour
Unrelated but now I’ve got to clean the floor
It used to be:
Home or a latte
Now it’s just me
Versus
The act
Of making
Coffee
Espresso in the heart grinds all I can see
I tap the tamper with temper tastefully
Too light and you make barely brownish sludge
Too tight and the machine will hardly budge
Cause I’m not that buff pulling shots by hand
I aim to make the best vegan latte in the land
With whiskey syrup if all goes to plan
To align with the truth confess to the sweet tooth

Inter-Predicament
02:24

Wrote this tune stealing candy from my father
Perplexed by the Pyrex, oh bother
It’s crest white strips for the soul
It’s the canary litigating in the lobby for big coal
It’s the stroll through the bog with your mummified dog
Who will need fresh soap to chase frogs
Wrote this tune in the middle of a predicament
Interluding again I’m sick of it
Sick of it step back feel guilt then return (hit return)
Sick of it step back feel guilt then return (hit return)
Sick of it inter-predicament (hit return, smash it)
Sick of it step back feel guilt then return (hit return)
Sick of it inter-predicament (hit return smash it)
Life ain’t nothing like an apple pie
That comparison would be silly Americana aside
Time is the poison time is also the gift
I might miss an attack even if it’s swift
The truth is when I’m in it
I’m looking for a way out
Wrote this tune in the middle of a predicament
Interluding again I’m sick of it
Sick of it step back feel guilt then return (hit return)
Sick of it step back feel guilt then return (hit return)
Sick of it inter-predicament (hit return, smash it)
Sick of it step back feel guilt then return (hit return)
Sick of it step back feel guilt then return (hit return)
Sick of it step back feel guilt then return (hit return)
Sick of it inter-predicament (hit return, smash it)
Sick of it step back feel guilt then return (hit return)

Whoops
Got lost
A whole pack of whoops-a-doodles
A whole bouquet of whoopsie-dasies
Reverse that face
Don’t feel displaced
Point of lost grace
Is best feeling trace
Unlaced shoes
On shuffling goons
I put my apology
In the form of balloon
Just for the you
And my pity party
In the way of sorry
Not the board game hardly
Partly cloudy like me
Iron press the karate gi
This patch is now
Strictly vaporware
So
I had a theory
Home is where your home is
Home is where your home is
Home is where your home is
Home is where your home is
Reverse that face
Don’t feel displaced
Point of lost grace
Is best feeling trace
Unlaced shoes
On shuffling goons
I put my apology
In the form of balloon
Just for the you
And my pity party
In the way of sorry
Not the board game hardly
Partly cloudy like me
Iron press the karate gi
This patch is now
Strictly vaporware
But the blue denim
Is my wardrobe venom
I bet him I could better yet
Got an outline to check
Take a bullet point
This patch is still
Strictly vaporware
Strictly speaking
If we were going to get strict
Home is where your home is
Home is where your home is
Home is where your home is
Home is where your home is
Home is where your home is
Home is where your home is
Home is where your home is
Home is where your home is

Space Cat Odyssey

Tom Nook, Tom the raccoon crook
Tom took my pride in swift strides
Right after I sat beside and lied
To a man I felt obligated to confide
All my secrets to beneath the immeasurable blue
Or rather a shifting hue
The clouds were passing through
Obstructing the frail sun, at that point, painted so pale
As I journeyed to some avail
Failed by the pitiful propulsion along the rail
Debris sickened air, or that tell-tale sign of a tail
(An impending anxiety with my will starting to bend)
At Nine P.M. I was at the end
Of the line. In a shrink-wrapped hometown of mine
A pristine synthetic smile sent
Glass shocks down through my spine
“Welcome home! You're not known.
You are all alone. You are alone.
Don’t worry your little head.” Tom Said
“I will put you in a bed, I will find you a home.”
Despite what he was saying it felt like he was weighing
My worth, and for what it’s worth
It didn’t seem as though he were laying
The foundations of my financial devastation
The keys were given without reservation
I could discerningly tell pressures held
The need for bells: specifically my bells
Tom's well of good will starting to run dry
What little water left laced with lye
Whispering, "It's time, fine friend of mine,
Get in line. Grab whatever tool you can find."
Alluding to treasures underneath or in the trees
Or possibly working criminally close to free
Clothed like my creditor, rehashing his creed
Conscious of my condemnation
My somewhat systematic relaxation
Was nothing more than an appeasement for more
A larger home or decorations I had no use for
My material motivations apparent unlike before
Unstitching my pursuits for spare change
Making the strange town seem deranged
Tom seemed hurt, a shift that burned
Firmly told me to put my words on the curb
Then stomped every objection that he heard
Turning my corporeal form to weeds growing
Changing my hands to paws floating,
I was choking on my self engulfed in hair
Rising to somewhere far more fair
The rocket ship carried the kitten
Softly scared and severely smitten
Slicing through the scarlet skies
Plastic clouds linked by zip ties
Wondering whiskers against the glass
Into the blackness uncontrollably fast
Widening the inches between the stars
Seated in a plutonium cone shaped car
Then turned his head back to earth
Meowing softly in regret at first
Thinking of friends left behind
Or lamenting what his love would find
Released only by the gravity around
None of which was to be found
Among cosmic pebbles spiraling in shapes
Not ready to find out what movement takes
Crash Landing, a misunderstanding
Between the rocket car and forces of gravity
The scientist witnessed all of this
Through the lens of a telescope adjusted finely
The master of science recognized the reliance
Of the kitten precariously pitted in peril
Trapped deeply inside, the methods of his ride
Echoing a tortured scream ringing, "Terrible!"
Rushing so soon to the top of the moon
In her scientifically calibrated hot fume balloon
Searing intentions pierced the icy extensions
Of the sick ship trapping a dreadful tune
The space cat came out with a joyous shout
Without knowing a thing about his unlikely savior
Greeting, with a meow, meaning, "Good evening,
Thank you for the considerate display of kind behavior."
The scientist replied finding her beliefs aligned
Taking time with a sigh and slow mindful meow
Trying to say, "I'm glad I saved the day
But there are some concerns I must speak aloud.
Recall the colors that smothered your eyes,
Fantastic plastic hues seamlessly tied together?
Neither the chemical aroma or decimated biota
Can be considered consequences of the weather.
The trajectory of this most surely tragic story
Is still uncomfortably fixated on you
Possibly because of gender in spite of my ingenuity,
This restful reality, in actuality, is only arbitrarily true."
The intended meanings of the meowed things
Ultimately were lost in translation
The space kitten looked at the scientist
His head crooked in a confused fascination
Then a sudden event had the space cat attentive
Peering past his perceptions into the scientist's hand
Seeing a seductive and solitary remote button
Linked to a science machine to get him out of this jam
And he wanted to get out of this jam
The paw was on the button: enormous and red
Despite his anxiety the kitten quietly said
"I think I'm ready to go home now.
I think I'm ready to go home now."
The science machine made a considerable click
Followed by the moonscape's massive split
The ground broke in jagged twisting arcs
And the kittens were swallowed by the dark
Falling beneath the surface feeling tragic
Wishing that the clouds were not still plastic
Dreading their expected roles in the world
The thought of credit making their blood cut
Closing their eyes, mid-fall at last
Reforming their beings somewhere in the past
I awoke, peering up from my game
Between my love and a stranger on the train

Decaf Americano

You say it’s just a fashion beverage
Remnant of my caffeine sever-age
Claiming I am posing foolish
Calorie deficient and already ghoulish
I respond I do it for me
Reply that even I could use a treat
Is it odd I enjoy the flavor?
Rebuttal is also sweet to savor
You insist that it’s ot cloy at all
Decision probably preceded by a fall
In judgement must have been abrupt
For me to eternally not switch it up
I suppose I should keep an open mind
But this trip to Verve was self care time
Admit distractions are what currently incline
Just another step from the stated outline
Ice and espresso rendered gutless
I’m not sure anything is pointless
I’m not really sure
I’m not really sure
I’m not really sure
I’m not really sure of anything at all

bare minimum

The bare minimum
That what I’m going to do
I’m a minimalist
As you can tell, a joker too
A skeleton
And a skeptic
The bare minimum
That’s what I’m going to do
Real talk, I was going to write you a whole album
But I had ended up with just this token verse
Yeah, I might have avoided taking about your curse
You want my hot take? Brain cancer sucks.
I like your approach with a certain nonchalance
But it gets to me, as it gets to you,
And mom and Georgia too and Cassady as well
Not to mention everyone who wants their farewell
I hate that I act like this is harder on me than
It is on you, not to hue so blue
But I love you Dad, so routine but true
I love you dad, and I miss you already
It’s the next thing after this I’m dreading
Thanks again for too much to count
Not that it would matter numerically anyhow
I’m still bad at goodbyes as you know

Got a vegan butter stick real slick use it quick full cup equivalent got a vegan butter stick
Got five eggs crack them with your legs JK You should use your hands got five free range eggs
Five point five cups of flour let it proof for two hours got five point five cups of flour
Cut out the middle so the center isn’t raw
Shaped like a zero or a circular saw
Always can soothe and get me out of rut
Don’t have to ask you know I want donuts
Take it with a glaze or a chocolate ganache
I’d consider sprinkles if it’s not too posh
No trouble intend for our ill prepared guts
No liar, grab the fryer and make some donuts
Granulated sugar by the half cup sucrose up blood pressure flub still a half cup bud
Half cup of water please revives the tiny little yeast for some dough rise at least half cup of water please
Bit of vanilla and a pinch of salt a recipe default too much might make a heart halt
Just a bit salt just a bit salt, just a bit of salt just a bit salt
Three quarters of a cup of oat milk because we’re dairy free both you and me and Bulma makes three
Dairy free so we don’t hurt tummies for something only slightly more yummy with our buddies count me lucky when I
Cut the middle so the center isn’t raw
Shaped like a zero or a circular saw
Always can soothe and get me out of rut
Don’t have to ask you know I want donuts
Take it with a glaze or a chocolate ganache
I’d consider sprinkles if it’s not too posh
No trouble intend for our ill prepared guts
No liar, grab the fryer and make some donuts
