underneath it all

beneath the faceless
masks we're constantly wearing
real faces exposed

sing no more

when we took this gig
break out stars, one hit wonders
faces cast in steel

the sum of its parts

Iron brads so small
Fragile with the weight they hold
All parts are stronger

Tiny Twisting

Tiny little Teeth
Scraping the Bolts and the Nuts
Twisting Sometimes Hurts

i think i agree

willie says cowboys
are secretly frequently
fond of each other

Property

the alphabet marked
branded, seared hides of the past...
cold sharp memories

The tiny Bells of Time

sanctuary here
little Quasimotos there
ringing bells of time
