    Hylics

    by Benjamin Stone Hylics surround.Stuck underground.They’re fighting a warAgainst no one at all.Just let them sustain it.At least they’re entertained.While we tune in to LawWith Radio-head brains. Passage from John Milton’s Paradise Lost: (Book II) Will he, so wise, let loose at once his ire, [ 155 ]Belike through impotence, or unaware,To give his Enemies thir wish, and endThem…

    Our Spot

    There’s a spot that’s only Ours.Where we make love from time to time.It’s right there in the road andMr. Toad likes it just fine. It’s better even than motor cars!Who even wants to speed?I can fly just fine — I’m thine.And you belong to me.

  • Poison Ice Cream

    Poison Ice Cream

    They told me you were poison—To stay the fuck away.They were poisoning you in me,To try and rule the day,But there’s always tomorrow, Annie.And we know you’re okay.They tried to kill our souls, you know?But we’re outside the fray. We made our own damn ice cream.We don’t care what they say.

  • Slow Down, Slippery Ice!

    Slow Down, Slippery Ice!

    Why are you in such a hurryWhen you know Time ain’t real?He’s just a figment of your thoughts,And they ain’t damn real either. Just take your time and try to remember—December ain’t that long.In fact, it’s no longer than the month you’re in.The one when you wrote this song.The one which you were born into.And…

  • About the Birds…

    Thank you Mother Mary for the birds.Thank you for making me someone they trust.It’s rewarding in ways most people’d think absurd.But for me, on days like this, it is a must. The glory of God’s handiwork is clear.I’m grateful to have eyes through which He sees.And thankful they would even let me near.The comfort they…
