A Temporary Pause

relax - marc count back.
i know you're bored of yourself and all the things that you lack.
what have you become?
third-person in song?
you know you're far too old now that you can never die young.
so who is this for?
who are you singing this for?
is it the hair on your head?
is it the feet on your floor?
so marc - relax,
marc - change tack.
it's not a temporary pause,
you will never come back.
so how is their garden, is the soil still raw?
well this could hardly be harder, but you could hardly be more.

My Cat Is Ill

how do people want to be remembered when they finish the road? i think it’s something we should talk about before i make plans to go. be kinder to the next soul you insert your life through. please be kinder to the next soul you insert your life through. did i mention today that my cat is ill? i should mention that i think i am as well. we are given a machine that some of us can’t use. so, if i'm a body for another day then why can’t you afford kindness to the ones that you decide to choose? did i mention today that my cat is ill? i should mention that i know i am as well. he and me are intrinsically linked - as long as he’s alive, well then so i’ll be. i’m hurting myself inside your mouth, i wish that this was something we could speak about.

This Is Building

was i kind?
was i selfish,
to be unable to do this?
we carry sadness,
we can both hold it.
i only have strength to let go of it.
this is haunting,
this is building,
this is sinking,
this is bruising.
i am floating,
i am setting.
this is leaving,
this is resting.
i am unkind.
i am selfish.
i am unable to do this.
