there’s a tingling in my foot my foot is tingling right here on my frontier near my unexplored ankle my heel moonwalking feels the burning of a bridge giving rise to a tingling foot my foot is tingling is your foot tingling too moonwalking catch a cold change creeping down your shoulder blades unexplained knees and toes it comes and it goes moonwalking it sucks the print from my thumb and I feel sexual and dumb stupid alive moonwalking is there a fish out of water tingling in the dark where are you here we are staring at the sun wearing sunglasses

empty your mind now cram it damn it spoke the quack that croaks I cannot sink or float being red in the blue like a balloon out the wazoo leapfrog hop croak quack pop the crowd strain their eyes they cannot see me in my blue disguise I must be part of it nope croak spoke someone in particular forever first person singular quivering at the command of the invisible hand demanding a dream that perennial scene it’s a whisper can you feel it congeal I could all but believe that I’m a permanent variation on a transcendental theme I must be part of it croak quack I must be part of it croak quack like a balloon out the wazoo give it a shot pop you can strain your eyes but you’ll never see me in my blue disguise

at the surface of a pond doing water divination there’s a hairline holding me and my thin red skin in a state of trepidation finding signs to live deliberately I divine all is water never wet fighting fire with fire’s fluidity I touch my thin red skin to the surface of the water doesn’t shatter anti-matters let me dip my head in your hotbed at the surface of a pond writing songs getting sweaty

a thought is a glass slipper slips my mind a thought is a glass slipper do the shoes fit the facts of the foot I think you’ve got big feet therefore you’re bigfoot hello bigfoot a thought is a glass slipper slips and slides with every wax wane pleasure pain stroke or sting I’m putting a glass slipper on everything a thought is a glass slipper do the facts fit the shape of the shoe trick question trick answer hello bigfoot

I’m gonna fall in a forest and it’s gonna feel strange I’ve got shakes breaks my nerves in a forest I’m gonna fall in a forest what good’s a tragedy grown that it can’t make itself known in a forest I’m gonna fall in a forest as I follow through to realise my haiku of all the humility that I’ve never had this one makes me so sad ‘cause we a living in a material world and I’m gonna fall in a forest what good’s a tragedy grown that it can’t make itself known in a forest how can I wait it’s so real that the poetry is palpable and honest

buzzkill killjoy joyride boldface blue have you ever seen blue there’s no one watching you watching blue I touch each piece piecemeal but the real thing’s the only thing that feels unreal like blue I’m blue I am under the sun over the moon walking into the blue my big foot’s in a shoe yabba dee yup die yabba dee but why am I a blue fearing guy I’m a blue blue fearing guy I fear the blue in the sea I fear the blue inside my mouth tainted love material world under the sun I’m a blue blue fearing guy I fear the green that I’ve seen’s just blue in disguise and I’m alone under the sun over the moonwalking I touch each piece piecemeal feels real why am I a blue blue fearing thing I fear the blue that I’m singing about’s an unreal symptom of me under my sun over my moon out the wazoo I’m here in fear pounding on my chest but a coward dies a thousand times before they dress in blue
