Ocean Tone

Disappearing Rooms

disappearing rooms
light washed sound
decomposing the beat undone
in comes the marching
melody's sad stomp
to break the frames of the common sidewalk
block by block
walkin' a subordinate life
drummer's clock breaks the scientist's teeth

art in evidence
a found sculpture in the sky
art in evidence
a billboard and the sun
reading, read me,
go on, take what you will
it's all in the same shared, stolen vein

at most the plenty cup satisfies the drinker
the well is undermined in thinking
at most the plenty cup satisfies the drinker
the well is undermined in thinking

a view of potential as seen from doubt's dirty window
shallow water's silver daughter
served to a serf tide in a fateful hour

circle of fire
on the corner of dreams
she shoplifts the inspired but doesn't know what it means
circle of fire
the corner of dreams
she satisfies the thinker and his thought frayed seams
