halloween by gregory corso

3. |
||||
i can't streamline white glass
i can't terrify my friends
it's all wrestling away
thumbs are stuck in buttons

over my side
00:33
|
|||
sell me over
sell me over my side
sucking splinters
sucking splinters for hours
honing virtue
honing virtuous slime
|

7. |
peace of mine
00:32
|
|||
take away the piece of mine that i've been saving so long
|
||||
8. |
ears on fire
00:53
|
|||
in the top of my spark
hidden outside,
something lonely ties its legs down
something told me not to separate
far, and it's far from, and it's far from being the correct thing
nibble on an old book
think of finally caring
waiting here has got my ears on fire
waiting never lets me talk a while
|
||||

lots of folders
00:57
|
|||
fishing in the park i saw a sailor sitting sideways
he was holding lots of folders in his hands
several times i tried to warn his tired aching body
but the pressure was a burden and we all retired from working
highway neighborhoods have filled me with a stoic pleasure
that i only know from spying on the rocks outside the garden
where i tend to thirsty blessings and i halve my total nightmare
as to share it with a species that i never knew was coming
|
||||
10. |
be set apart
00:44
|
|||
i thought it was all figured out
i wanted to be finished
but now it might not be that thing i thought
it might be set apart
|
||||
11. |
bits in repair
00:57
|
|||
thorny trees
bowling ball
in my throat
i can't leave
can i leave?
symmetry
is a blind
baby bird
with its head
up its nose
wicker chair
in a hand
made of stone
with its bits
in repair
|

lemon icing
00:46
|
|||
would you find me
an alarming
piece of charming
lemon icing
would it have been
less demanding
if we hadn't
made our wishes?
|

handy little satchel
01:20
|
|||
i was walking with my windows facing forward on my wall
i could never hear distractions as a member of the town
i was born inside a tired situation on the out-skirts
i'm a bundle of dilemmas in a handy little satchel
zooming in on other people til they look like someone different
we were scared to tell each other what the merry making meant
keep it quiet if you want to have a moment to yourself
watch me do this special dance as i keep landing on my feet
|
||||

red nose fountain
00:41
|
|||
typically fall out early on,
fetch a nice dollar on the back
red nose fountain,
handle danger
bubbling like a potted fern
made to withstand the heavy use
empty jars singing in the wind
leave a nice flavor on the back
|
||||
15. |
all my bothers
00:24
|
|||
only find soft water
ring your darkest bell
hand me all my bothers
i can't see you that well

morning table
00:31
|
|||
dauntingly intensified, morning table
have a shoulder by your side, morning table
tender like a bowl of twine, morning table
bitter circus mortified
|

lonely / handsome
01:10
|
|||
it was a long flight down
i hit the shallows with an achey breaky heart
and i was folded over
it was a suffocating lack of medicine
i was lonely
but i was handsome
the boxtops would not sing
no matter what i tried to tell them
i found a carrot on a string
and made it spin around in circles

forty dollar fake
00:22
|
|||
something out of place
hasn't been too much
forty dollar fake
doesn't cost too much
tiniest mistake
was about to rush
|

23. |
little brag
01:02
|
|||
microphone attache
kings are made every day
minnows swim in the water
windy maze, dirty dime
splintered into the grime
former dads eat their suppers
and i know it's time to be what i was going to be
little brag, tell me more
of the use i am for,
never make me be gentle
hanging out near the stairs
cause a found thing is there,
i shove into my pockets discreetly
|
||||
24. |
come to seed
01:11
|
|||
i had no where to be
i'm glad that it's only me
animals crawl on the floor
nobody knows what its for
settle down
come to seed
don't turn off
make it work
spot lace fixing around
home base making a sound
|
||||
25. |
honest to maybe
00:34
|
|||
i'm about to leave myself on time
with a knack for ending on a rhyme
seven candles are burning in my hair
falling shortly to sever honest ties
honest to nothing
honest to maybe
|
||||

walk around too much
00:49
|
|||
my neighbor doesn't want me to
play guitar inside
my neighbor doesn't want me to
walk around too much
so i'm playing bass instead
and i don't walk around
|

candies blow
00:31
|
|||
time was not going so well
my candies blow in the air
i never give bottomless joy
somebody is waiting in there
|

seven little babies
00:20
|
|||
don't i know
what a wand is
i can go
to my sister
winter day
in the morning
better now
that it's worthless
seven
little
babies

icing berry wheels
00:19
|
|||
icing berry wheels
and a hand on top
crisp inside my brain
with a lemon drop
i was nine years old
when my shoes got wet
it could never cause me
to stand up yet
|
||||
31. |
fine was not

fine was
all i said
fine was not
all i said

in the ashtray
00:18
|
|||
who's asking
a sideways lemonade
in the ashtray
that someone has made
directions always
will break down
under scrutiny
and everybody asking
|

red sonoma
00:27
|
|||
everything was about to be
winter comes fast as anything
red sonoma crashes into me
left me down here wondering
|
||||
34. |
bound to stay
00:24
|
|||
understate my cinders
tolerate remembers
bound to stay uncertain
bound to say my curtain
|

slip-on oxygen
00:31
|
|||
trees made of simple sugar running for days
instead of functioning they all just sit down
my slip-on oxygen is curdled down here
i wear it out of bounds as i disappear
|
||||
36. |
carton lock
01:01
|
|||
carton lock
is all fancy
talking rock
in my pantry
i can't believe it
happened to me
umbrella suit
is on cable
yellow fruit
in my navel
i can't believe it
happened to me
somewhere a killer is
looking for me
|
||||
37. |
face at god
00:39
|
|||
i can be around
for the extra moment
titles blend the ground
where the wind is golden
turtlenecks come off
in the darkened corner
make a face at god
make him one inch shorter
and i was talking to
somebody other than
the one i'm looking at
and they were both confused
|
||||
38. |
recklessly eating
00:36
|
|||
it was about to see what would go
finally brought back to stand alone
recklessly eating the things we brought
never remember to slow down or stop
|
||||
39. |
sack of blinds
00:26
|
|||
select a type that knows
to do you right in woes
a rosy plaque that tries
unties the sack of blinds

bloody icicle melting
00:33
|
|||
i can't take things to east bay
they might hear me the wrong way
a bloody icicle melting
and dripping onto a painting
|
||||
41. |
i broke a string
01:03
|
|||
i broke a string again
this egg just laid a hen
so what do i want more than anything?
subtropical thermostat
we'll keep it where it's at
so what do i want more than anything?
i guess i'd rather be confetti queen

people zoo St. Louis, Missouri
falls asleep in front of trees, fixes batteries on holidays, trembles w/ supreme syrup and lemons, crinkles like flypaper, torn from the ceiling, buttered up baby, known to not see straight, sailing in glass cemeteries til the chancellor arrives, eating syringes out of the plastic, corrugated like iron plating, droll and sensitive to smaller feelings, dancing naked on parade, forgiving salami god ... more
