Birds Fly Over Houses

"Birds fly over houses
where children tug at empty skirts
and shout into boarded-up ears
and implore boarded-up eyes to look look look
look what I can do
while empty adults with boarded-up hearts
teach them to only look at screens"

Desperate Monsters

You did not realize that we are more powerful than your wildest imaginings,
and that you have never truly understood what we’re made of.

Desperate times call for desperate monsters,
old chap.
There is a feathered claw behind you.

We were comfortable in our complacency.
We were satisfied with our Netflix and our Taco Bell.
We were not happy, but we were satisfied.
We did not want to have to awaken
the strange DMT gods that live in our foreheads,
or the screw snakes sleeping at the base of our spine,
or the mushroom giants who dwell behind our visual fields,
or the great golden frog at the center of the earth.

Biden 2020, for a return to normal. We can't say exactly what "normal" is; it will still definitely involve military expansionism, mass murder, ecocide, omnicidal cold war escalations, crushing austerity and economic, social and racial injustice. But by golly, it'll feel normal.
Biden 2020, for a return to normal. Nothing will fundamentally change, but the media will stop screaming in your face all the time about how freakishly abnormal this particular presidency is.
Biden 2020, for a return to normal. No, not a return to sanity, peace, prosperity, democracy and equanimity in America; America never had those things, so there's no returning to them. We just mean we'll return to making it easier for you not to think about that.

Yeah I’m a hopeless romantic, a real sappy guy,

Gonna sing you a song ‘bout how ya make me feel
cuz if you ain’t bein’ honest you ain’t keepin’ it real
Ooh girl, you look so fine
you make me wanna sniff your hair from behind
Gonna lay it all out girl, ain’t no use hidin’
You make me wanna sniff ya like I’m Joe Biden
