Telepath

(the church)

You've got no reason to go
I'll make it up
I don't know

You've got no reason to stay
Anyway
Any day

The flowers down the side of the house
this morning
The tiny wheels
within the whorl

A day pulled backwards
and then left drowning
So the future
can uncurl

You've got no reason to laugh
leads you down
the telepath

You've got no reason to cry
Any how
Any why

The women by the shore in the night are leaving
the angry dawn
that slyly grins

The soulscraper air that the boys are breathing
assembled paths
the tiny sins


you've got no reason to live
pheremone
you've got no reason to die
any how any time


The music and the traffic and the rain are blending
the water meters
the fire escapes

Children in the present moment unending
Nobody knows
their former shapes


You've got no reason to live
pheremone
You've got no reason to die
any how any time



from Forget Yourself --The Church
(best recited with music)
