"colossus"
by jayteapee
there were ten that dangled aloft
in leagues deep they move
eight lined with claws
two paddled hooks groove
to pull flesh feasts
into a beak
while photophores
lit bloody dark
i see the colossus
each eye as big as a head
stalking miles away
and pulling light into the depths.
creature demon or god?
an illusive supreme
phantom ghoul
that brings down giants deep
more powerful than
beasts earthed and beyond
it sucks and chews
through bloody dark.
i see the colossus
each eye as big as a head
stalking miles away
and pulling light in...
the depths. beyond twilight now
in the nothing. become nothing.
in the pressures of abysmal
waters where eyes fade
away as most devolve
still colossus sees and engorges on
prey. you think you're alone.
but if you could see it's but a fathom away
soon bloody dark.

"canary corpse"
by jayteapee
austin married late
fat knuckles from weary bones
clinched each candidate
tightly then soon let them go
he had the time to wonder where the time went
and time spent wandering left him poor
by the time he mined his mind for his last sense
he found a cage containing a canary's corpse.
eyes / milky white
feathers stiff on a canary's corpse (x2)
austin had to wait.
patience lines of time reinforced
each curve of his face.
what some call age he called remorse.
he had the time to wonder where the time went
and time spent wandering left him poor
by the time he mined his mind for his last sense
he found a cage containing a canary's corpse.
eyes / milky white
feathers stiff on a canary's corpse (x2)
oh no. austin. the canary's dead.
and you're next of course.

When The Freaks

"when the freaks"
by jayteapee
when the freaks set sail it will be a loss for everyone.
then the plump white whales will fail to beckon us.
beach streaked orange. pitch forks and torches shaken up.
now the mob's been robbed of gawks and fairy dust.
how many faces bracing creased with rage
so many clenched fists, red cheeks, reprobates
sucking wind blow shit and flags and waves
sucking INterests. OUTcasts scandal-gates (open up)
when the freaks break ground we'll sound off festivus
then the flock of unicorns loose wanderlust.
boxed in. cut out. formed like cookie cuts.
now the mob's straight laced with collars buttoned up.
still these faces brace and crease with rage
ready to thrust fists, slap cheeks, speculate
sucking wind blow shit and flags and waves
sucking INterests. OUTcasts scandal-gates (open up)

"ordinary"
by jayteapee
i don't know if it's ordinary
i don't know who scores the various ones
and zeros from the human data streams.
i just know it's not so scary
just a bunch sheep burying bones
and skeletons to dig eventually.
go feel your suffering.
don't let that go.
just warm to creeping
of the coming cold.
don't get hot alarming.
just let warmth breathe in freely.
until the sudden freeze of death and old.
i don't know if it's ordinary.
i just know we're better fairing as goats
goats see what seems worth questioning.
in the streams the sheep are pairing
dissonance with some new vintage of hope,
but who needs wool for drunk eyes glistening.
go feel your suffering.
don't let that go.
just warm to creeping
of the coming cold.
don't get hot alarming.
just let warmth breathe in freely.
until the summoning of death and old.

Safe From Strangers

"safe from strangers"
by jayteapee
same shake of dice
winking - those snake eyes
she's facing us
where can she hide?
be free and by
herself. i say, "there's a place i like to go that's
safe from strangers.
and i like it. no,
i love it." (x10)
wasting time
chasing out the light
i like it
waning. the gray feels right.
tasting those snake eyes.
safe from strangers. (x2)
we were and i...
i like it / i love it / i like it
i love it / like it
love it / i like it / i love it
i like it / love it
love it / i love it / i love it
i like it / like it
like it / i like it / i like it
i love it / love it.
safe from strangers.
safely roll her thighs / hoping to
choke the stranger's life,
and i fight it. safe from strangers is alright.
it's all night for me,
and i fight it. but safe from strangers is a life.
a life. unease.

What To Do

"what to do"
by jayteapee
the human animal is weak.
we growl at change and the new
even when the facts are quite complete
we won't be told just what to -
do. do-do-do
what to do do do
by you or you.
do do-do do.
what to do?
the human animal's an ape.
we thump our chests at the truth
and when our troop acts all deranged
we won't be shown just what to -
do. do-do-do
what to do do do
by other troops.
do do-do do.
what to do?
thump your chest and punch your fists
you won't hear those scientists
stomp your foot and pout your lips
you can't hear those scientists
i know if the gods were real they'd drink
while pretending to be caring
about their murderous ape kings
(who) slaughter their bestiary/BEASTiary.
boo hoo hoo
what to do boo boo
but fuck the truth
boo hoo now
what to do?

"horse race epidemic"
by jayteapee
hOur foolish. hearts
broken at the gate
by broodish starts
to the race.
from whips we scar.
from memories we brace.
such shooting stars
at the graze.
now lost is the way?
now lost in this space.
the journey starts.
a wind cuts fast. hours faced.
fly high and far
from this place.
now where we are
gets lost and that's okay.
once we've embarked
and get misplaced.
now lost is the way?
now lost in this space.
so bet on. bet on.
so bet on. bet on. bet on.
so bet on. bet on.
so bet on. bet on. bet on.
hOur foolish. hearts
passed. memories embraced
from where we aren't
to when they're placed.

A-Part

"a-part"
by jayteapee
(buh buh buh)
you might as well take us apart.
after all we're barely together. it's art.
the appearance of grounding while
bounding so close to the...
edge.
they all love a joke and a smile.
keep them laughing. it's
less.
invasive and honest.
what's wanted is just keep your
cool. selfish but we should've known better.
cool. so cool. cool if we weren't sad and pathetic.
well where should we start?
finding pieces is easy, but
when it comes down to the parts,
what role will these fantasies play
without leaving our
heads.
restless is now. where's the joke?
where's the laughter? what's
left?
my guess when temperatures drop
well we'll finally be
cool. selfish uh we should've known better.
cool. so cool. cool if we weren't sad and pathetic.
feeling so exhausted / where's the grounded? / they're in pieces.
treating / error to flogging / we get beaten. / it's our meaning.
(i) guess we wanted this / yes we love a mess / teaching makes us somnulent
what parts make the (w)hole / in our hearts / then our heads?
cool. selfish fuck . we should've known better.
cool. so cool. cool if we weren't sad and pathetic.

Dirty Throats

"dirty throats"
by jayteapee
hear our seeds sinking deep
between cheeks as dirty throats play
and watch as they take root and
sprout new shapes.
breeding trees with vines entwined
just inclined to fill the space
words become a hollow tough to
swallow seeking seeds to say
seeds to say (x2).
i've got your dirty throats
i've got your dirty throat
i've got your dirty throat exchange
see our seeds floating high
on airy sighs exhaling pain
words are just like viruses
they pass through us extend new strains
like cells with fins past traps they swim
do laps through lips adapt (cell)fish
dirty throats don't wonder only wander
seeking seeds to say
it's beautiful
then quick dirty
seeds to say (x2).
i've got your dirty throats
i've got your dirty throat
i've got your dirty throat exchange

"rexy"
by jayteapee
running on empty again. tasting time.
focus. the day's at its end. will over life
because skeleton's have it easier than
creatures tossing the dead in their pans
floating escaping from view.
is it your life?
to all my pro-ana's some
rexy some out of view
i'll watch as your ana
sucks out the life from you
almost gone
hungry for feelings again. they will unwind
you can trust me i'm a friend. safety in lies
because skeleton's have it easier than
creatures tossing the dead in their pans
floating escaping from view.
is it your life?
to all my pro-ana's some
rexy some out of view
i'll watch as your ana
sucks out the life from you
fading away. see the collar
fading away. suck it in sunken in
day by day. squeeze in smaller
day by day until you fit in then
almost gone
