Dramatic devices such as staging, props
Working scripts, carefully arranged
A lecture on fear, a lecture on corners
Don’t cry it’s not safe to cry here
Crawling into the fireplace laughing
Blue sky, a grave, no plot on through August dear
Seam in cruelty, bend in cruelty

Rephrasing corporate slogans like a worldview
Some things are too terrible to turn into
A song, a poem, and a shallow spiraling red hue
Piling up against leviathan higher higher higher higher
There’s a poem written by Yeats - and how dare you
Where he talks about our being drawn to
Difficult things and how they sing through
Unshackling moments held in time how quaint it all that sounds Now I live and try to be a good person
Worse than a political statement
In the slow motion of poverty belief in the part you’re playing is important

Don’t cry it’s not safe to cry here
Crawling into the fireplace laughing
Blue sky, a grave, no plot on through August dear
Seam in cruelty, bend in cruelty
Don’t cry it’s not safe to cry here
Crawling into the fireplace laughing
Blue sky, a grave, no plot on through August dear
Seam in cruelty, bend in cruelty
