New Waste>Practice

[manic_panic]

I can’t stop shitting symbols
toxic corporate chemicals
preservatives
and leftover particles
New waste
old news
I can’t quit spitting at
the ground
while I’m smoking menthol
cigarettes
Their butts soon hit
the ground
and I might step on them
I’m a hypocrite
I know I am
Look at all this shit
Dumpsters remain
full next to
the offices
the parks
and studios
downtown
People have a lot
to waste
Most of it
is goodstuffs
that should be given away
to the homeless
the less fortunate
Our garbage is gold
to a starving man
Your trash is gold
in another land
New waste
old news
same space
new waste
that could
be used for food
Why don’t you
care about our
neighborhood?
Why don’t we
make the most of this
scummy
fucking
place?
Let’s learn the truth
I’m here to
bring you the news
to give a bit of grace
Give away your
new waste

Practice
practice
elastic-like arms
spastic movements
in a dank basement
or a big spaceship

It’s fun
it’s fun
like listening
to Neil Diamond
when you’re
shit-faced drunk

Sweet Caroline
loved America
so
so should we
be coming to America
when we’re stuck up
stuck in outer space

We just may
like it the best
in outer space
It’s a little better up here
Yes yes yes
we just might stay
a wee bit
longer
so we can
practice
