lyrics

8. Yellow Dogs


(peeling this clementine, I can almost remember
a simpler time, when there were no words for orange
and everything orange was called red or yellow,
are you hip? dig, there was no orange)

these craven bores depend upon
the salient gore of this X-rated life
painted orange, this red delicious delight
these naked whores peddling entertainment at the Sony Store
whether hated as the phonies or
sacred as David Bowie your
dust is blended with Jimi Hendrix's, whether poor
or rich as the metal detected on the shore
those Metallicas and Tools of yore
anciently before
the table of the lords.
where Ossington and Bloor intersect,
philosophies as pure as the wetness collecting under this drip ...

the best Vedic texts disseminated among the literature silvern and velour.
these raps opulent and godly
free as the bat is
black magic, throwing knives swallowing swords
imploring these pirates all aboard
deplorable crimes, these modern wars
these drones and droids orange noise poor by choice these radical pacifist
girls and boys and trans activists
certain of the nicely handled randomness
nerdily voiced and rapped in a candlelit
world antique like Sanskrit in the hourglass
the metaphysique of spacetime, its curvature

nonunique as brain rhymes with brain
identical our identity as the wholly ghostly
healthful our mentally ill souls as lonely as the dragon in a tailspin
