Happy birthday to you.
Little Billy, it's for you. Grandma couldn't send a card. Now she calls from the graveyard. Ringy ding and toodleoo. Stay in touch now. Kootchy koo. From a distance, yet not so far. Next door to the nearest star. So tender and so loving kind. Forever talking in my mind. Holding hands and warm embrace. Kissing baby's angel face. My hands reach out. I won't let go. Please don't hang up. I miss you so. I want to answer When you call. Always Always After all. Wait for me Like you said You would. I promise to be very good. For now, let's try To stay in touch, Because I love you Very much. One last wish Before I blow This candle will Forever glow. ZONE S2E22

Palm Sunday,
Day of hands, Waving, weaving Talismans Welcome, Welcome Into town On burro’s back Our hopes abound. In rows and pews, Prayer scarves aloft, We wait the news And sign the cross Clasped tightly ‘round A string of beads That squeeze the cherish From our needs. Holy Holy, Holy Lord Show me guidance And reward. I wander through The misty veil, Chasing light, Both dim and frail. Faith and Spirit Keep me on course, A pulsing, breathing, Warming force. In days uncertain And nights so dark, They whisk an ember From a spark. Palm Sunday Fan the flame And blow our breath Into His name 4/2/23 By George, I've got it.
Hey George, give it back. C'mon George, I need it Like a sidewalk needs the crack. Like a blot on life, expanding In a paper thin motel, I sweat through muggy nights In this Heimlich holding cell. Everything you do Is everything to me. To me it's just remembering The sweltering to be. Like cigarettes, no matches, Squeeze through the subway door. You dance with swollen ankles Kicking butts across the floor. It's time to trade in mirrors. To get up in the world. Clear conscience ever clearer, While your hair has lost its' curl. Ok. Please don't be nervous. The truth is hard to take. We're always somewhat curious, My friend, and always rather late. 4/1/23 ZONE S2E3 A thrift store bargain shopper,
Posey, pimple popper, Doubles down on love. Wedding gown or glove. The life of party wife. Forever hold your peace. Spread it with a knife Or break it like a lease. Cheaters gonna cheat. Santa's got his clause. Heart has gripping grief, Grasping, juicy jaws. Have no living fear, The end is in arrears. Till death we gonna part. Double crossed right from the start. For richer or for poorer. Backwards in the mirror. I'm reaching for the door As things are getting clearer. 8/2/2019 ZONE S1E6 Her name X20
Disconnected, Resurrected. Experimental, Detrimental. Help! Im here Where we once were. Blackout. Time out Did occur. A lady walks into a bartender. Two go missing. One gets dressed. They disappeared From restlessness. What's it like to live out there? It's like a desert without air. I called collect, but no one there. I mean they answered, but didn't care. Is this a gag or just a joke? Settle down and have a smoke. The room's still here when you're outside. Waiting like a patient bride. So now lay down And taste the kiss Of intravenous Wedded bliss. A pair of Jacks without a Jill. Scrambling up a wasted hill. Looking pale and want of will. Please come back, we need you still. 12/13/19 ZONE S1E11 Stop the train.
Rock the boat. Make it rain. Take your coat. Pushy pushy, Out and over. Off to find The Cliffs of Dover. Someplace peaceful. Someplace calm. In the after, Without alarm. No one gets it. No one cares. On your own In underwear. Conductor train Chug along. Do it over. Done me wrong. Rock me gently Sing a song. Hold me close. Squeeze a ghost. Down the line, Feeling fine. On the track, Number nine. At the station, Drink the cup. Recreation Time is up. ZONE S11E30 It is what is.
I know what it ain't. I know that a sinner Started a saint. I know now what's coming, Cuz I can just see Always and always How it will be. It isn't much use. It's not my first choice. Learning a lesson. Hearing a voice. Hear it comes coming. Bow now and pray Each and of every Sing single way. Every dry breath You drag and you draw, Whistles through windows In your jocular jaw. Flash of white light You seemingly saw, Saw me say to you. Now I am in awe. Told you too how now It just has to be. In the bright future I try not to see. 6/4/20 ZONE S1E19 There, there, my dear.
Don't be afraid. It's now time to leave The bed that you've made. Outside, the world So bright and scary. In here you're safe, But always wary. I'm well inclined To let you alone. To leave you in peace. Decide on your own. Again and again. It seems like no use. A knock at the door, A pitiful ruse. Everyone else has Just gone away. Not waiting for you. To come out and play. Won't you then please Give up the fight? Please try to trust me. I'll do what is right. Here, take my hand. I'll walk with you now. It's really quite simple. I'll just show you how. Onward and upward Through gentle good night. And soon we'll go dancing In dazzling light. 1/1/26 ZONE S3E16 I hear you calling.
I hear your cry. My heart is falling. It wants to fly. Out beyond My primal reach, I'm grasping for What life can teach. You don't know, honey, You're just a child. Your days were sunny and running wild. Now, you're on The other side. Don't be scared, I said. I lied. Follow the sound Of daddy's voice. There's not much time And little choice. Arms extending In the night. This whole experience Is out of sight. Reach out, sweetheart. Take my hand. We've got to fly O'er never land. 2/11/26 ZONE S3E26 Hush little baby
Don't say a word. Soldiers come a'callin. It's like you heard. They'll leave you frozen And march right past. So mind your toes And watch your ass. Hey there Mama Lookin fine I'm'a gonna get us A jug of wine. Pop the cork And drink it down. Let's go dancin' On the town. Hey Big Daddy, You Rascal You The Devil's got you bothered Through and through. You made a deal And then you won. How's it feel To be on the run? Wait a minute, I changed my mind There's no good in it Or God to find. We kept our honor. But at what cost? We found our future Now all is lost. 12/23/25 ZONE S3E11 |
