    INSIDE MY PAPER BOAT

    sittin inside my paper boat
    rowin rowin rowin
    in an ocean filled with diamond dust
    keepin clown fish in my coat
    a sunken ship had passed me by
    1000 leagues beneath the sea
    the skeleton crew is rowin rowin rowin
    empty sockets starin up at me
    the stars are lovin junkies
    jonesin for a cosmic fix
    the sky is a glittering sequin gown
    whiskey, coke and poison
    in a perfect deadly mix


    LOSING YOURSELF

    you call yourself a human
    i call myself a poet
    you say youre a functioning member of society
    well i say that youre a corpse
    and dont fucking know it
    you say im way to free
    i say hey man relax
    when god strikes down with mighty vengeance
    were both gettin the ax


    MEXICO

    everytime i cross the border
    oh i get older i get older
    everytime the sun beats down on me
    i grow older i grow older
    cant someone carry me away,take me into town
    push me down a well ,let me drown
    everytime the shaman man
    dances 'round my head
    oh i can feel the dead, i can feel the dead
    everytime i make my bed with auburn leaves
    oh i believe, i believe
    for every 7 nights theres 13 flourescent days
    before i sleep i wake instead, to incoherent dreams
    as i cross the river down to mexico
    ill set fire to the horses as they graze
    dancing, wild beauty all ablaze.

    i dig your style. it all seems very lyrical to me, i can picture all of these as songs.

    edit:after a second reading, ive determined i really, really dig your style. It has a rawness to it. I especially like the last poem.
