I Was Sixteen
I turn the keys to my car, my baby, my blazer
I hear the sound, the sound of a ten year old vehicle, the sound of freedom
My lifeline to the mainstreamed world
I am sixteen

I wash these dishes, my responsibility, my income
I see slops of food, the filfth, my duty
Yes, that's me, a dish washer at madison's
I am sixteen


I turn the keys to my new car, my baby, my Mustang
I hear the sound, the sound of a beast, the sound of my machine
My debt for the next four years
I am sixteen


I become close to K, my bud, my best friend
We play our computers, our past time, our livelihood
Our getaway from the outside world
We are sixteen


I fall in love with my friend's brother's girlfriend, my inspiration, my mistake
I'm caught in a whirlwind, which ways up and which ways down, chaos
Confusion for the remainder of arguably the best age of my life
I was sixteen

My Only Enemy
Gossip, you ask me where have I been? Are you insane? You should know where I've been, for you are Gossip. Remember I am too cool for my own good? Remember I was hanging out with people from other schools because I hadn't any friends at school? Remember I was falling head over heels for a girl of my dreams and wasting my time? Do you not recall I was out losing the soccer game? Remember you swore I was out talking behind someone's friend's borther's friend's sister's boyfriend's mother's back? Oh you don't? Then gossip you have failed, haven't you seen the truth in me yet? Maybe it's because of my leave of absence? I guarentee tomorrow you will succeed. I haven't beaten you yet Gossip. Fuck High School.

Flycatcher
Buzz buzz buzz
I wish it would fall out of the heavens and die!
Snatch!
I got you now you little fuck!
Wedged between by index and thumb...
Claustrophobia my friend?
You need air, short on breaths? I'm sorry, not really
You shouldn't have been buzzing in my ear
Don't ever underestimate
You are merely an insect
You legs are kicking rapidly against my fingers, it tickles, stop it!

I am going to let you go now my many-eyed foe
Are you ever going to buzz in my fucking ear again?
I think not
A scornful laugh laughs I
