Make it a little constrained Make it a little more excellent You've something on your head A bill and fur An apple for Burroughs Keep it a little restrained Use a couple less consonants There's something in my head An egg of flame Some oranges or who knows? Let the platypus dive Make it a little more excellent
2.
Been weeks on the road Dirt road to Hamlinshire Trudging in the dust Skin turned to rust We fear of going bust We pace the donkey We’ll get there God willing On naught but three shillings Scuffing on the road Shouldering the load Past the fields all plowed We pace the donkey Stubbornness Is a virtue With which we all dispense We pace the donkey We pay the rent
3.
Give him the business Tear him apart Show him the red flower Rip out his heart He’s crafty He’s twitchy Ferret of business Watch the floor See the glass ceiling Behold as we call out All the notions that matter He’s crafty He’s shifty Ferret of business

Labor Mole 01:31
“I smell a rat” The shop steward said To all the gathered souls Faces like holes Dented Ricky’s fender Didn’t leave a note They tricked him Into a spotlight Resolute for the destitute To make a determination Draw out the pretender Like that time some scofflaw Dented Ricky’s fender Didn’t leave a note They tricked him Into a spotlight “The same surely applies” Said the shop steward Dave “To this labor mole of ours” Labor mole Burrowing under the union
5.
You had me at “Let’s kill everybody” Phil Spectrum Behind the wheel and driving us crazy Can you find crustaceans three? Johnny Fingers says “Let’s have calamari” Your friend can take her sour grapes And shove them up her ungrateful ass Apathy’s the opposite of love Babe I’ve got opposites in spades There are some days I need to stay away From the sunglasses and the fire snake
6.
When I go outside I see the gray sky See a bear Running down the street Hey you’re in the way Of the bear whisperer We’ll see what he says
7.
Whale Gam 02:41
“Time was you could pick ’em up and put ’em down In all the various neighborhoods of town” But over time no one knows where that mischaracterization went His predilections and intrinsic flaws left no forwarding address Bounty hunters, bill collectors Gathered and leaned into the Vapor of his scent And man alive! It was just like he never left He was partial to three slams after work The engine and a pair of sidecars He was endlessly fond of whale gam Lifting up the skirt Putting down the fingers of desire Harpoons and whale gams Blowholes and battering rams Blubbering mouth Return to sender Candlewax Stench of the render And his pickled associates ... “Back then you could find them out and hedge them in In all the conclaves north of Wales In dark wainscotted rooms we bled the tunes Out of Whalin’ Jennings” He spoke the lies through a fan that Oscillated them and ran Endlessly to the void of infinity Where tax collectors loom He insisted on whale gams On weekends
8.
Sawt Lion 02:25
I sawt lion over there Behind wilting transients Your eyes are better than your ears I sawt lion over there Beyond the college in the woods Music makes the life slide by Easier When you’re consulting with the unseen Owners of bad orchards Freaky Pete, Grampa Croost and Professor Phone “Save it for the air” He said to placate The slo-mo sapien And there’s just no going back To the Moosewood I sawt lion in the ditch Like an iceberg of decay They don’t want your blood They only want your soc I sawt lion over there
9.
Flap flap Blap plap Feathers plucked Quills inked anew It’s a new age Trip Dotterel Gone and here There never Slip slap Selfish motive Lit the votive Pens dipped into It’s a bygone song Trip Dotterel Never here Gone forever
10.
Limbo is the first circle Inferno of the pagans Idolaters and the seven virtues Declaim for Julius Caesar Just lust, the second circle Blown violently west Licking the flesh of thigh But you’re not the guy Eat and drink deep for gluttony The third circle of hegemony Demon lords distressed In the circle of greed You’ll get what you need Stand at the entrance to Dis The city of brass The tower of iron The flying staircase to iniquity Now we come to Pandemonium Where every parrot quips Like a little child Like an angel So creamlike and mild
11.
Cete Badgers 01:41
It’s not the fur nor the teeth But rather what’s beneath Sure to get Your attention Claws retractable Attitude implacable Rip and tear in the sheath Digging the furrow beneath Like Edward R. Murrow Ran the bureau Hollowing out The burrow It’s your choice to make Cete badgers don’t wait
12.
Bollocks for frolics Jumping over Chewing on clover Backyard lagamorphs Undershed bunnies Greeting their honies Throw in the towel There’s a fox on the prowl Backyard grass Fenced-in lagamorphs In strong tea to steep us There goes the lepus Ears erect, a-quiver Whiskers twitch and deliver Scent of the heat Spring can be sweet For backyard lagamorphs
13.
When I climb up the steps I see the Lizard Wizard Ready to snake me through With his hands made of darkness Try to not fall and die Like my friend who sat and cried Through the party down below That’s where we all want to go Prevented by the lizard Also a man-sized wizard Yeah! It’s a party down below Humans never get to know Creatures of all kinds are there No excuse not to stare
14.
Note how the ape Caresses his chin Like a man in thought Is wont to do See how the ape Exudes a manlike shrewdness Joins into a band To trade in feelings Shrewdness of apes Arrayed in the trees Venn diagrams of influence And intransigence Multiultoccasional For the tributary
15.
Profiles are tedious But with the right document You can do anything even A drunken Dremell cut On the third Thursday Of my troubled childhood Possessions are a liability and Cables are always an issue but Penry always knows where to party Where libations are good With snails in the hood Penry always knows where to get dead Where transactions are good With snails in the hood Meet me deep in the platonic Realms of supposition Hit me with your rendition Just be a dear And make it good
16.
Do me a solid Get me a liquid Attack it with gusto Glistening, pinguid Bourbon and eggs For the crosshairs trollop Sequel to the sequel: Both of those guys got cancer Clam cutters Animal squatters It’s a means of control A shadowless analysis Atomic mom Rosetta stoner It’s a means of control A rudderless catastrophe It’s corpses from here to the next rise An army, a legion of thoroughly dead flies For better eggs For part-time wizards
17.
Scads of scallops Pinions of shrimps Muscular mussels Krill smoothie Seaweed sorbet Chocolate salmon crisp Sea bass mint Tuna aperatif But for an entreé For the main event Will you risk the lobster? Will you risk the lobster, old man? After-dinner distress Post-prandial death Why’d you risk it all?
18.
You cowboy up Lookin’ sharp Rocking the brim Breathing brine Whipping waves like a Seahorse cowboy Constrained by the reins Perhaps But conjoined by the twins Relatably Back in the saddle Out to the coral reef In search of the twins They should’a come back again But they’s lost So we’re the searchers
19.
His hood was removed Moments after birth Come witness its worth Come hither As I stand and deliver Cobra in my quiver Break the seal Stand and fight Deadly asp Taking flight Pointing north Like a lodestone A flash of movement Toward your garden Discount fauna Exotic flora Python in my aura Dispense with drama You could be my Anaconda mama Cobra in my quiver
20.
Up with the birds Quarter gone and half-dead Awake and worn through Soul shot full of holes One step removed from Corporeal It’s loud Up in these clouds The fowl are proud Making nests of our thorny halos The hummingbird in my breast Suspended in my death Upending my quest To get ever higher I’m no nirvana frequent flyer My rejection of his word The god of all birds A craw full of blasphemy That’s what landed me In flock-marked clouds Up with the birds Quarter gone and half-dead Insomnia afterlife

about

"Late in the day, the lagamorphs come out. Defying time, RECTANGLE CREEP returns.

"A creature on every corner, a synth for every season. Our friends have their fingers on the knob of the cosmic oscillator, and won't quit until they've turned it all the way around. Your dentist loves it, but doesn't get it. This is where all the flowers have gone. Your speakers need some sauce, and this record, dear reader, is pure poutine.

"Crafted for consumption, these melodies won't leave you. Your fists won't not pump. Those chores will get up and do themselves. This rat smells back, baby. RECTANGLE CREEP are punks of the highest order. Their world is all ANIMALS now, and it rules."
