lyrics

Birds flock in slow motion/
To the beat of some man’s stick/
Waving “eight” from below/
But above we watch from below/
But beneath trees blowing in slow
motion/
For the heat of this new day/
From the safety of this green
shield/
Waiting on merry-go-rounds to
pass the time/
To count the chains on these links/
To capture a second glimpse at
that well-groomed beard/
To pay tribute to Philip Seymour
Hoffman/
To dip wet sharpies onto dry
canvas/
Blue with remorse, but somehow
indicative/
Somehow not preoccupied/
With literary regulations/
With hopes that five dollars can
buy/
The future/
Regardless/
Of ability to spell/
My ability to blow dry this five/
Dollar bill crisp as potato chips/
Dipped twice/
At once/
Dialing 917-860-0037/
Praying on predictions of family/
Portraits for Black America/
Only to look up/
Only to find the loving embrace/
Of Barack Obama/
Tie-dying parking signs/
Making Pigs hip/
Somehow managing to say no/
To drape dumpsters in blue/
To dance on blue with chalk/
To forget the broom at home/
In vans made of glass/
Lacking transit for one moment
too long/
Earning orange badges/
Wearing masks made of the skull
of birds/
Once filled with air/
And time/
In slow motion/
To the beat of this man’s stick/
Looking up/
Forgetting shields/
Embracing bravery/
Finding courage/
Off Dekalb.

FUTURE TACO is a quarterly zine of asporationally poetic doodle dropping brain fairies swinging and swaying from clouds of cheese and pumpkin seeds spread across sheets of pink foil ripped like gray hair lacing bank statements long overdue from flippy flop floop flipple flap.
