Econoline thrush
Econoline...
Econoline '89
Econoline bloodline
red-and-white striped
snake bite like Myka Nyne
paradise like John Prine
Juanita's blonde hair hangin out of the driver's side
[the rich melodies of the homeland found new expression in the choirs that gathered in competition]
Econoline thrush
Econoline...

[quartets and soloists]
spend the night at home
and drink some water
take a rhizome
garden of the plotter
of the saunter of the cotter
of the sodder, of the Scot
of the settlement block
of the government talk
of the policy position
of the one who doesn't listen
and then claims to be Christian
they on a mission
causin friction
sellin fiction
interdiction
thought is freest without restriction
not influenced by a politician
with a party partition
remember: repetition is how we listen
fuck a politician
no church for this baby goat
three-sixtee on these turncoats
swim in a piranha moat
we're playin with each other's teeth
raven embers eagle sheep

Pigeons Over Princess
02:31

pigeons over princess on the precinct
glass-blown horn
from the lips of a gaffer
glimpse of the after
giggles & laughter
a villainous actor
off-roadin in a Raptor
in the rapture
Oleander of whatever you're after
whether Kazaa or Napster
knapsack; a Barney backpack
Baby Bop
firm flop
flippin off a city cop
skittle skating rink
we on the brink
the whole team and the kitchen sink
pigeons over princess on the precinct
chronic and a comic strip
stomach flip on that anxious tip
catatonic with the cannabis
cartographic catalyst
i'm mappin what is fathomless
dip a ripple in a dill pickle
chip
scholarship
ego trip
pink slip equip kiss on the lip
tonal frequency blip
stick brick baker
and a stick stone brevity
cook without a recipe
until the rest of me
rest in piece
200 bucks for them chicken wings
let's self-destruct and then reconvene
cookin green
yeah, that gravy must be thickening

[while in their songs and dances they remembered the land of their origin
in the healthdrill of their children they looked to their future in kkkanada]
grandpa was a grader, too
i’ve handed out a grade or two
A’s, B’s, C’s
for him it was streets
on land that is Cree
nehiyaw territory
Sheho, Treaty 4
then Treaty 6
the big S’toon
city boom
Settler dig with that Settler spoon
Eddy dug Circle Drive
Ukrainian, pierogi appetite
vodka, beer, or wine
ginger rye
hubcaps spinnin like a dollar sign
branch-line locomotive trophy roses
at the truck rodeo
spinners really on the trak tho
much more than luck flow
lookin at Two Roads
shittin in the horse’s stable
final visit at the dinner table
last time i saw my grandpa livin
we were fish n chippin
psylocibin vibin in my system
missed em
try to panther up upon on a piston
one hand if i list em
one one one hand if i list em
yeah
i spent a lotta time thinkin about drivin a Lincoln
because oh Lord, I’m drivin a Ford

i ain't never seen a squirrel shit
i ain't never seen a rat talk
but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen
back-stabbers in the crowd clappin
back-stabbers; they're in the crowd
the heavy hand
the rock sand
the heavy hand
the rocks and
the teleport
the time machine
the magazine subscription
the door-to-door enlistment
the perish
the priest
the gluten
the yeast
the west
the east
the deceased
planet
plant me
plant a cherry tree
plant whatever it might be
that makes you want to fight me
come up, catchin crop, full stop
when you're steppin in the Style Shoppe
never send those risk takers to do a safe job
never send those risk takers to do a safe job
never send those earth quakers do you want to fall???
never send those risk takers do you?
never send those risk takers do you?
do you?
do you?

whatever skull company
02:13

Mr. Kidswatter and the Wayside
play wide receiver for a drill
kick the ball downhill or up it
or uppity
whatever skull company you couldn't fuck with me
luckily you couldn't fuck with me
belt knees buckling
while i'm laughing and chuckling
what-in-the-fuckling
rumbling
like a timpani
fumbling with a symphony in drop G#
23 harps
Alice Coltrane is pluckin the strings apart
wanna be heartfully holy
former goalie, border collie
grow magnolia
truthfully for the jubilee
tusked up like a manatee
calamity
attention paid absently
you're not a fan of me
academy shocked, awed, and disgusted
the audacity of somethin somethin somethin
[what? don't tell me 'be quiet' you be quiet!
what's on?
you mean they're hearing what i'm saying right this second?
well how do i shut it off?!
stupid mic!!!]

if you ain't gonna say it in class quit talkin out your
quit talkin out your butt
quit readin the script
and only the italics
it's like you're recitin the shit
i talk back with a proper inflection
i build tracks from prosper, reflection, affect, intersection
and a who's who
regardless of what you're used to
of what your friends do
of what a saint did
of what?
everything is everything
of what a vote does
of what a text says
of what an "eeny meeny miny mony" racist
speak with improper accent for nearly every place name
watch a movie but only see the second frames
and the director's cut
and the deleted scenes that never should've made the cut
circumcision
double division
cut through with precision
an ascension
and a dramatic under-extension
into new dimensions
the Kingston pen-attention
torture strategies
are more than just rendition, eviction, and right abolition
speak taller
for father, for mother
no brother could be here and know this and know that
and speak only true facts
you refute my direction(s)
if you ain't gonna say it in class quit talkin out your
assumption, something, this or that
something, something, fact, fact
surname, name
"dubious claim"
con game
iPhotograph frame fame
assumedly sayin the "same, same"

[read me a book about]
read me a river
but that don't mean shit
cause i'm a liver
and some kidneys and a pancreas
thankfulness with my whole body
spanks
only exchange with the riverbank
South Saskatchewan; anglicized settler name
berry city on the prairie plain
now i'm Spoonin with a Great Lake
tell the Sun "thanks!"
watch an eagle fish the frozen wake
watch an eagle fish the frozen wake
blasphemy! i call it aptitude
perpetually in perplexitude
read me a book about it
read me a book
blasphemy! i call it aptitude
perpetually in perplexitude
[sometimes it proved to *indecipherable*
and the Settlers lost their homestead]
