For Dr. R: Not gonna lie, you were often a difficult person to be with. But it was also an honor to be present during your final moments. I hope I represented what that might have been…

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains there's a land that's fair and bright,
where the handouts grow on bushes and you sleep out every night
where the boxcars all are empty and the sun shines every day

I ride an old paint
I lead an old dam
I'm going to Montana
To throw a houlihan
They feed in the coolies
They water in the draw
Their tails are all matted
Their backs are all raw
Ride around
Ride around real slow
The fiery and the snuffy…

This past week
My life has been a complimentary airline seat
On the wing
Fighting air resistance and feeling thin
Took donations
And took compliments as best as I could manage
I’ll just sing
I’ll just try and sit for a moment…

When I go, won't be forever

Walk with me through the heather

Blade of grass
Weeping willow

Hold my hand while I'm sleeping
When I go
Tap the trees
Start the fire
When I'm smoke
I'll be here for an…

I talked to big game

Mahogany dust, and grass in my lungs
I pull myself to a higher run
I’m chock full of maple
I bring to the table
A penchant to be so high strung
What a friend for to have

If you’re talking to me
And you see…

I learned to whistle
I learned to walk
I made it rustle

I did not blunder

I came alone
No weapons drawn
In my hands

To dance along

To remember what you said

I’m a leaking pitcher

Rain for now

Baby Willow
Somewhere, something
has turned a wing

there's a stowaway seed

Accidental synthwave. I hated this at first, but it's not bad. I kind of feel like this is me, in the 80s, driving home from work along palm tree lined high way. I had a bad day writing fortran for my job and I'm burnt out.

No weight to the world they rejoice

A tree falls in the forest
