Election Night (Road to Ojai)

Night Trump was elected, punched a window out of my SUV, nearly bled out in the lawn. A friend tied off my wrist, drove me to the hospital where I received 26 stitches. Following weekend, played a show in Ojai, CA & wrote this.

Oh Hello, 



There's a friend

There is the voice I thought some Lover tried to send… 

I met Her once before Time knew it could bend 

She tried Her best, but I still know our best begins:

"It's a little much. Can we do over again?"

>>>

Oh… Hell No

Who's womb is on a whim?

We won too 

Liberté's discourse is:

"Life or limb… "

I've seen the shift, you know?

The third shift… 

When everyone's been sleeping through the day that never ends 

I know it's late

But Love needs a latent friend

Firing back the echo that keeps firing him

You know? 

"You're fired… smoking on the third shift."

The Reich made up its mind

It's time for a cleanse

Fire with fire? 

Count them out or me in

A night of broken glass is a fight I'll never win

But there it is… 

There it is again

There's US... and Them

I'm seeing my reflection from an eye that I don't miss

You know?

Anybody can make a fist 

But The Third is an Augustly Turd to arbitrarily dismiss  

You know Judas?

Brutus? 

Shoeless dancers on the ether?

Cancers landing shanked answers into Caesar

Shall I cut the cloth any deeper?

By July, we'll all miss Easter

Then… 

We'll have time

When Easter meets The Fourth 

The Fourth will be Aligned 

If the Axis became the Reaper, Whom is You, I am?

Why here and what now, old friend?

What is I, and why can't it see?

Ayeayeaye plead the Fifth

To reassess Her rest in Peace

To bless Her silent scream for me 

>>>

Oh… Hell No

"It's never too late…"

That's that I hate

That's just the vomit from a Voice that led an ungodly Shepard to say… 

Do you know? Do you know, my friend?

I've thought about it much, and I can't think it all again

Is it too late?

Is it too late?

Love still needs a bastion of Hope to procreate

I know Her and Hell.

I know them both well 

I've been wishing water would mend the coins I couldn't meld

But I won't whine 

I won't complain

The Mother of my Lover sees a tunnel at the end of the light

Copper can only turn greener with brine 

Father of my liver learned to walk on alter wine

A frozen river of shared misery

Will not break Her Will the love of company

For every penny that shines with me

We're becoming ninety-nine senseless Dreams

For every dollar a blue collar bleeds

We live for the loving accompaniment

She liveth for a shared mind

And hell hath cometh

If Love must plummet

Love shall be wrung up with twine

Hung by the nails for which He binds 

Breathe in… 

Breathe in, my friend

Lean in, and leniency will glide 

The only way to free him is to let Her be His guide

Her noose is callow

Shoot the twine with an arrow

However wide

However narrow

He must lead the noose like a turkey leads a sparrow

When the Eagle cries

What's left still has the right  

To see the torch as not a guise 

Let her torch not cast a shadow, and let her crown not pass a crime

"Mother Liberté, send me a sign." 

To hear our Founding Fathers' Word in kind

I'll take His word with a grain of salt

And copper turns green with brine

I'll take His word in hindsight

But don't you fucking dare tread on mine!

I've fought the worst of you

I know where Seven K's meet their Essssss

My God is tortured, but my ears are blesssed

And God only knows how I've kept my eye out for this

Blind thine

Turn this godforsaken water into wine

Cower?! 

To whom is Empowered 

We pay the soldiers in rum

Our Eiffel Tower is a lady dressed in cum 

Shall I run?

Call my lady a Cunt?

We shall overcome 

Shall I tread the water as it turns to ice?

Or shall I let the light of Mother Liberté shine?

Call out the hack!!!!!

His ice will crack!!!!!

We MUST walk over the tears that blind our salted shrine 

Green… My newlyweds… 

Shine. 

Liberté

Shine. 

Love

Shine.

Thought?

Shine. 

till? Moonshine. 

Our Love is just the dusk of all the tears we've shed

Do you know? 

Do you know, my friend?

I've thought about it much, and I can't think it all again

One leg for the time, and another boot for you to shine

We'll cater to the rustbelt

I've felt the solitude and shame

I herd all-knowing consciousness, and I think it's heartfelt 

I take her accountancy at face value

I'll walk on ice for all whom wait 

If all whom love Love… 

If they… 

If They… 

Could only love to hate Hate

I could point my latent finger yonder back-t'ward the Pearly Gates

I'll tend the flock of fickle farces

I'll pretend that I am fake 

Fuck the Wolf. 

Fuck the God who made that godawful shape…

Fuck the Love that left the time that left That space 

Fuck the world that my Mass must displace

Oh, hello you fucking Whore

Put another dirty needle in my veins 

I've done this before

And I've been tamed

I've died of your cancer, and I've died in Eighty Aids

I'm uncertain that I'm positive 

But I know blame

I've never been a stranger to Rage

Is it He?

That dude never sleeps

He's the One…

Is He the One?

Yep. 

He's the guy on duty when there's no one else to blame

You know that guy…

Oh, hello Goodbye

He's the one that never cleans the vomit from the meal nobody ate

>>>

Oh, hello. 

Someone say, "Voice?"

I found her cradled in an Osprey's kiosk 

Rocky mountain hoist 

Voice?

When in doubt, don't heed the noise

Strike a poise, end with the greeting that begins:

"I highly recommend… 

The sound of a good friend"

I'll even lend the hand that amends the hand that points

Any fucking hand can make a fist. 

What did my fingers miss?

The central nervous system sent

Its shadow to Narcissus

Fucking hell is dripping down my wrist

His Sun sent the message, and I missed it

But I found One in the Love of the Omits

Time itsElf is greeting "O" with this:

Mass displacing ohms replacing shit 

What I can't get over is every sound that meets its deflection with a grin

When I see the finger in my reflection, I see a friend 

I hear a greeting, and that greeting whispers… "Bliss"

>>>

Oh, Hi.

Goodbye again.
