"What Is The Place Of My Rest?"
10-16-18

Needing clock time to make it work for us
As we travel northwest gathered together from deliberation
All for parentheses topsy turvy and backwards question marks
Sometimes speaking in tongues may one but interpret
Receiving ones living oracles being as one nowhere in the sight of the star
Of your god of Baalim
It's warm in here and the heat is at last turned on
Rejoice ye living and dead for your salvation today life isn't so bad
Praying that tomorrow won't throw a curveball as silence is broken
As to bring to naught this temptation as a more essential issue emerges
And we can cheat off each others' papers where Saul takes the lead role in sad songs
With imagination clean from the start
He will in Zion's bondage
Break!





Weight Of Glory

O, first martyr and first mention of Saul of Tarsus
The sound lifts me up even when it's a downer
To most sheepish individuals beginning anew a happy morning tomorrow
Up early as saints in union coins up as if to fill again my cup
To bring to naught the Tempter's snare a poison for a remedy
As to be scattered everywhere as to be shattered taking no thought or care
Did you offer me the slaughtered sacrifices forty years in the wilderness
Or were you just hoping to offer a gesture gruesome and gory
As to keep me in my doubts for that sweet somebody by the Alamo
And now behold verity
I tell you that the police dogs can smell you
For this cause we write newfangled letters of recommendation
As to pluck them out and cast the line back in....
