Spaced-out Daydream Drive-in

Lollygag Brutus:

The gingerbread man is
Going to meet his baker
I've got a fast draw
W/the sugar shaker

The StarFlower:

You've got to know
The limits of your mind
So you don't just fall behind

The Memory Holder:

They're at the
Spaced-out
Daydream drive-in

Where the picture screen
Is silver-motion strivin'

Zebba Whitsen:

Sally, do you
Want some
Milk Yums and Martian squid?

The main premise
Of the film we're going to watch
Is to learn how to live and to forgive

The Opulent Plutonian (Mortal Theatre)

Mikhel:

Do you wish to hold
A warm, pulsating setting
In your tender palms?
W/the eyes of divinity
Casting down their woeful gazes
On the still-breath calm
They have arsenals at their disposal
It feels sometimes
Like they're examining us on specimen slides
Have they already reached you?
Reached your weakness?
Will you admit them into your
Theatre of mortal imbalance?
I found a ticket stub on strange soil
It read: Admit won

A Man Unknown to the Metal Globe

Zebba Whitsen:

Who has the cowbell?
Do you have the address
Of where the tree fell?

Pray tell
Dip your bone soup
Out with a ladle-compass

I will eat those words
Brooms, give me your dooms
I've got your tune

Tighten your pants
And off you go prance
I am going

To paddle out
On the temporal lake
And make

Piranhas school in
A direction of distinct strobes
Follow me

To the shores
Of pineapple grapple
With me and a dilettante

Rhododendron of the Shopping Mall Cosmos

Zebba Whitsen:

I've got a million things in mind
To keep my head off the floor
But none of them reminds me of you
Saw your picture in a newspaper
Drew a mustache on your face
If you could only see it
And there was this clown
Who didn't want to frown
But I could tell how much his
Shoes we're hurting his feet”

Lollygag Brutus:

"We are approaching
The Rhododendron of the Shopping Mall Cosmos
And we'll have a field day
Photosynthesizing our merchandise”

The StarFlower:

A planet catacomb
Made up of many hedgerows
Turns the dust of day into the hush of night

Gravity Has Lost its Pull

Parsven Undertoad:

For the plural lapel
To pull the card house builders
Temple out from under

The shrugged rugs
I might kiss the ring
On your royal highness's hand

And offer a blessing of courtesy
And gifts of laurel wreaths
Let me bring you the photograph book

The Memory Holder:

No, that won't be necessary

Parsven Undertoad:

Oh, but I must insist
That you not resist
This opportunity

To rekindle your
Affections with
The fragrant territory

That you
Discovered
In your youthful days

Zebba Whitsen:

Let's cause the get together on the
Old sergeant's garment shoeshine
Chloroformed hangers

Scraped on a memory's surface
Amidst centennial lovers
Why would you not believe?

Elks will represent men in court
Why would you not believe?
Walking down the street

In shadowy defiance
Is not
Socially acceptable

Why would you not believe?
Gravity has lost
Its pull

Portrait Soup and a Soda

Zebba Whitsen:

I'm groggy in portrait soup
Good to the first drop
I wade in it like it's a pool

A pool full of mules
Drudging through the mud
Oh, no

I think I've
Got a slight touch
Of trepidation

I may not know it
But I've got two rows
Of front teeth

Corroded w/spontaneity
Tih, tah
Tih, teh

Wha, chaw
Whan, yaw
I hope you don't take off your shoes

In Japanese mourning markers
Stones that moan
And I groan

On a soft drink
That expunges all lack of reason
It's yummy!

Nobody There

Zebba Whitsen:

A rooster crowing
Half-past midnight
A knock at the door

You look,
But there's nobody there
I want to know

The video plea
What were the captive's final words?
Before his voice melted

Distorted
Lost like great ships
Throughout the Bermuda Triangle

Trapped in the Celluloid Tapestry

Lollygag Brutus:

You shot the-
Oh my-
In the foot

His gravity boots
Almost lost their way
I exile the recipient from ardor

There's an institution
Of flowing, flowing
Ball bearings hang from his knees

A leaf that has
Flaky wings aloof
Horseshoe-crab dragonflies

There's a Hawaiian shirt pastoral
A jalopy is hopping
On its left front tire

Trapped in the Celluloid Tapestry
Wires run through
Circuits of termites

Screws in a bench
Are not profane

Tell me you are not scared of quadrilaterals
I hope the speaking
Is from medieval dragons

Leaves are wings
On Romans are roamin'

Opinionated persimmons limit
Their attitudes by judging
Others around them

Space-lady, Be Mine Tonight

Zebba Whitsen:

Tell me who you are
Tell me where you've been
Will we ever meet again?

Let me hold you 'til we're close
You act like I'm a ghost
You met at Venus's haunted coast

We'll dance across the glass river
Of love taking flight
Space-lady, be mine tonight

The Solar Winds of Change

The Memory Holder:

I sent you out here
To do as I please
Now is the time

For you to release
Our mind-controlling disease
Release it on their unsuspecting minds

Release it now
For now
Is the proper time

Parsven Undertoad:

To be sure I would do it if I only knew
That you didn't have it in
For me, too
