nature reveals herself

i don't keep secrets, i cry in the street
there's a fog on the freeway, it pays to be discreet
you're ageing ungraciously, dead on your feet
you need a distraction, what's more distracting than
nature revealing herself to the scientist
under the back alley striplight
cold hands stethoscope quiet
and they will go home to their wives
i don't want children for all the same reasons
you gave when you say why you had them
theory and practice are one and the same
even when we are prone to abstraction
the body belies what the mind can't abide
and all your morality don't mean a thing
when you think with your eyes
nature reveals herself to the scientist
when he's unhappy with his life
she will go back to wherever she sprung from
and he will go home to his unrevelatory wife

skin dream

don't look towards me don't look for me
you've done nothing for me as long as i've been here
i would be happy if you would ignore me
most people bore me they bore me to tears
i have fears and fevers and fits
that are not for your benefit
they're just how it is
maybe i played dead for you
for a time
i would like to be remembered as i lived
i've been a skin dream in somebody's eyes
once or twice, it was tiring
i thought i'd like it, the being desired
it's safer to do the desiring
now i want no part in it
not anymore now i've seen how it is
my fears and fevers and fits are unbearable
bear me aloft as i split
the middle's where all the good stuff is
bear me aloft as i split
