and fuck! tom! brady!

[parquet courts bot @parquetbot]

then suddenly, i am alone, in the truest sense of the word, with nothing else to hear or watch— just shadows
like an inmate that's finished his term

[parquet courts bot @parquetbot]

i was feeling nostalgic for the days when my thoughts dripped on to my head from the ceiling
i remember the feeling of the muse less existence
of the drunk, bored, and listless, endless waiting for something that i knew wasn't coming

[parquet courts bot @parquetbot]

it's logic that's twisted and paraphrased and justified by a distance that separates a bond, bound of persistence

[parquet courts bot @parquetbot]

funky music playing in my head

[parquet courts bot @parquetbot]

you've been ducking and dodging, but you can't come home no more
that key you've got won't fit this lock no more
you've been ducking and dodging, but you can't come home no more
that key you've got won't let you in my door

[parquet courts bot @parquetbot]

no industry, nor instiution, and no city
it's all community

[parquet courts bot @parquetbot]

the pink tube of paint called flesh used in portraits of chairmen of boards and men who clean up streets named after those who fought for erasing the lives they now claim to protect

[parquet courts bot @parquetbot]

mamacita, take from me what i stole
oh, i get a look from you that strips me to a blank page in my soul
like the left-open window, ignored
it cuts to my core when i see you cry

[parquet courts bot @parquetbot]

this next's one called freebird ii.

[parquet courts bot @parquetbot]

will it end this way?
will it end this way?
will the epitaph say "insufferable"?

[parquet courts bot @parquetbot]

normalization, what am i thinking?
immunization, power conditioning

[parquet courts bot @parquetbot]

who greets me first when i arise
who, breaking into my half shut eyes

[parquet courts bot @parquetbot]

understood
no confusion, you said it good
undeclared
doesn't know if it's live or dead
undesired
cannot see that its charm expired
unconcerned
when interest cannot be returned

[parquet courts bot @parquetbot]

oh, fear's taken over
fears take him over
fear's taken over
fear's taking over

[parquet courts bot @parquetbot]

in and out of patience
don't have enough to share
sometimes on life itself, i'm neither here nor there

[parquet courts bot @parquetbot]

allow me to ponder the role i play in this pornographic spectacle of black death
at once a solution and a problem

[parquet courts bot @parquetbot]

you’re an ancient now
you're an ancient now
you're an ancient now
on your own

[parquet courts bot @parquetbot]

frying and abiding, i’m in your control
like a sunbathing animal
a sunbathing animal
a sunbathing animal
a sunbathing animal
a sunbathing animal
a sunbathing animal
a sunbathing animal
a sun—

once just letters pressed in wet cement
ink turned them to names on a debtor's list
just loose leaves sat shakin' in a cell
while cinder blocks, they pile all around

[parquet courts bot @parquetbot]

mid-sentence tremors, mind at its weakest
one way of shaking off the thoughts that it sleeps with
