Death To All Squares

by Rectangle Creep

1.
Squares are circles that forgot All the degrees they had not Ninety times four Means more on the floor Three-hundred-sixty degrees hot Rectangle creeps in the center Extending legs to enter Domain of the square’s angles But rejects the newfangled Opts to emulate the oval That’s why I called you It’s like I told you It’s death to all squares Circular timekeepers Cubical weepers Polygon rules the school Plays you for a fool With unequal proportions Gymnastic contortions It’s he who is the tool Embrace the rectangle When it creeps Add up to the total Embrace the oval Run around in circles That’s why I called you It’s just like I told you Four times or more It’s death to all squares No time for remorse No room to change our course It’s death to all squares!

I picture her face In a northern place And I like to see her there When she’s smiling She’s so far from me Because it wasn’t meant to be If I could change that I’d make it my living So I thought I’d write a song For the most Beautiful girl in the world We knew it a long time ago But couldn’t make it real Couldn’t seal the deal Not beyond the obvious So I thought I’d write a song To tell you At the party in the basement When you said we should leave Your smile told me everything You clung on my sleeve Now I see Or slamming through my front door At 3 a.m. o’clock And I did not get up Couldn’t take you up On your kind invitation So I thought I’d write a song For the most Beautiful girl in the world

Greepies 02:21
Greepies creep in the fen At the verges of Nature preserve On the bridge Greepies Creep into your life Tiny lights In the shining corners of your eyes Sparks of selfsame Luminous in the shallows Far off cry of some predator’s passing Greepies holding hands Supine on the bridge Stars above No sound But for your breath on my wrist Our greepies Shine darkly in the dusk Our greepies

One in two million Lobsters are blue But that doesn’t give me A better chance Of getting through to you As I claw my way out of Crustacean station Can you feel our Shared vibration? You were platinum Now you’re palladium And they are watching us Thrashing in our sheets From private suites In Nightmare Stadium *** There’s nothing to fear Except when fear Wears a trenchcoat And a fedora Eyes cold white flames In shadows beneath A razorsharp hatbrim Wields a knife The kind that can slice your life Fear walks these streets Fear wears a trenchcoat Fear’s cold fingertips Extend and touch your throat There’s nothing to fear Except when fear Gets fired up tonight It’s his night

Venture communists: Meet me at the subversive bookstore Before the fists in our chests Stop punching Let’s find our inner scepters It’s our time to rule St. Rawberries: Met us on the third Thursday When the skeleton farms of India Were truly pumping That’s how to set the world on fire Set the world on fire

Hey maybe you didn’t know it then man That’s all right It’s never too late until You give up the fight And why give up? The fight’s what makes the life We’ll go to round 15 Just ice down the jaw If it takes all night We’ll make it alright Sometimes the best things take Years to realize but When you do that’s man Advice for your life Total drama unleashed Going through the wall Untotal all your conclusions Go forth and have it all

O lady I’m beginning to know where you are Took a long time In my feeble mind I’m beginning to know where you are It’s been a long crawl But I’m here now To be beside you For a little while To walk as a pair Want to see you Want to make it right O honey I’m beginning to know where you are It’s in The transmissions The superstitions I'm willing to know more Whatever you want to tell me For a little while It’s been a long crawl But I’m here now To be beside you For a little while To walk as a pair Want to see you Want to make it feel right O honey I’m beginning to see where you are O honey I’m beginning to know where you are O lady I’m beginning to know where you are

The Poseidon of wells Enters the puddle The Poseidon of wells Has a wet rat to cuddle The Poseidon of wells Knows his Jack & Jill trivia Kicked the bucket Faded into Bolivia The Poseidon of wells He’s so befuddled Poseidon of wells Knows his Twilight Zone errata Kicked the bucket Faded into Bolivia

Super Lemon Hayes He’s a boxer who loves to blaze Put out your lights Spark up your spliff One way or another it’s your brain cells at risk He’s hell-bent to raze Super Lemon Hayes Your brain cells are lights out Ring your bell Tantalizing smell He’s Super Lemon Hayes

Nurse Ivy’s got a smile Like the crowbar To the gates of infinity So now we’re grabbing mantles And drinking candles She’s all over me And then she’s over me But I’ll never be free Of Nurse Ivy I’ll never be free Of Nurse Ivy I’ll forever itch I’m a clingy bitch I'll never be free Creep back to me Nurse Ivy Bring it back to me

Damn your volcano Always getting you in trouble Waiting for an erupt You’re dependent on tectonic events And when Did such things ever Inspire confidence? Then again Good things can happen if you listen Tell me when you hear it Long before the end You’re in luck That will be when The earthquake Destroys what it feeds Yet the tremors Delight in what they heal Then again Good things can happen if you listen Tell me when You hear it long before the end Tell me when You’re in luck That will be when Listen

She came out of nowhere Like an arrow Or a rainbow Or a cardiac event She circled me Like a vulcha With an unslakable Thirst for culcha Just before I knew it She was growing on me Like agriculcha I always had A guitar to strum And a song to hum In the summer of Autumn … But now it’s the Autumn of Summer She’s not sticking around She’s sticking it to me Like a drummer Winter is gonna be A bitch a bore and a bummer In the summer of Autumn In the autumn of Summer She’s like a cardiac event

It’s the ultimate collab A life in the cottage industry Lollipops and flip-flops Hummingbird in my house So I feel well On the phony express Is a chill box Is a life ring Patti’s hearse will drive us To the gods of evolution If it were perfect It wouldn’t cause pain Were it always excellent There’d be no refrain From inscribing and sighing and Transferring red words It’s only a matter of physicks An exceptionally obtuse angle She’s all the rage in her yoga class I’m drinking Mexican coke Eating a literal ton of lunch I guess I’ll mow my own lawn If she were present She’d join me on the train Always in the chill box Life rings beyond the rain Some tack that enacts us Some track to distract us From inscribing and sighing and Transferring red words

They got around Like a mole in the ground Like a mud thing Trapped in a Sunspiral spinning They made a sound Neptune’s daughter As if they had chances As if there were a time And a place for everything Doctor S. on mando Kiyenne paid the rent Guitar open for business They were acoustically bent They went to town In a glass onion Gave some worthwhile advice From Mars To wholly improve your weekend It’s ne plus ultra my friend Steady your nystagmus stare And view beyond new dawn Forgive the somnambulists and Study what goes on In the Southern Tier Doctor S. on mando Kiyenne paid the rent Guitar open for business They were acoustically bent Fluffy the magic centipede Wondered could we do it? We were tuning a machine Destined for visitative disappointment The stars were fine And we were wasted You better be kidding Kerflungian jungle fix Crab crab Where’s your walking stick? Wishing well Why didn’t your wishing stick? They were acoustically bent
