all my little plans and schemes - nothing but a bunch of dreams. all i really needed to do - was maybe some love. i don't expect you to understand - the kingdom of heaven is in your hand. i don't expect you to wake from your dreams - too late for pride now it seems. why must we be alone? it's real, love - yes, it's real. -- john lennon

the late jonathan larson is displeased

Vol. 3: Sleep soundly, concerned flautists, it's only condensation

tell us your secrets
o puddle of spit on the band room floor
from whence did you come?
from whose lips did you pass?
from what grimy inner brass?
why do you squeak and mourn
with each passing rubber Soul?

my indignance, by you, is disgusted
my damply philosophical spattering
lukewarm, from rusted inside
it's a gracefully bumpy glide
through the brass-ed shiny curvature of my false
intellect

a tractionless shoe-bottom
will slip and smear
ass meets concrete,
an acoustically-savvy floor -
brass players at the door
hoarding further deposits
in metallically-wound sacs

take caution: floor is slippery when wet
