Track Name: Ode to Ken Senior's Saunterings
You stole the puzzle pieces from
the nursing home

John Kennedy's coin held in your palm
the lipstick you brought back?

We know not from.

You said, "Who stole my lemonade! Was it you, my first born son?!"

But it didn't matter after you heard the voice of Louis Armstrong

The woods in the geography of your mind
The neglected slope you used to climb
You saunter on

Your body will follow in time.

Remember when you tried to leave once?
The question was what should you bring.

Take the crayons to color everything you'd find
Maybe the artifacts you'd collected over time
The pillow case to fill with leaves
To lay still, feeling the ants crawl up your sleeves.

But you didn't get that far
You got stuck and lay in the Backyard

A mouse on your hand
Nothing on your mind
You sit content under the pines

A mouse on your hand
Nothing on your mind (like a circling hawk we tried to find)

You lay content under the pines.
Track Name: Ode to the Unaccountable
Poorly I love you now

How much you love me now

There is nothing I can do.

This is the conclusion of the life we're choosing
And the rubble to lay down

These are figures we can't account.
Track Name: Ode to Lovely Names
O Lovely Names
O Lovely Names that sing off the tongue

One by one
One by one

O Golden Rod
O Jo Pi
O Redbud, St. John
O Cristy Catherine

Left of the table your name?
Please forgive me
The others were drinking it down.

O Lovely Names
O Lovely names that sing off the tongue

O Sycamore
O Hazel
O Mary, Dogwood
O Cristy Catherine

The organ has sucked and dispersed us through the room

Try and collect the fragments
The fragments left by the names

Of Goldenrod
Of Jo Pi
Of Redbud, St. John
Of Cristy Catherine
Track Name: Ode to Travis' Dream
There's a Grizzly Bear in the room
There's a Grizzly Bear in the hall

O my God, stop the tour!
Cancel them all!

(should we leave now?
should we escape? is there a way out?
it should be safe. Its been several years
lets continue on. He's probably gone)

O No! Its the thousand year old bear
come up from the table, run if you are able!

O No! Its the thousand year old bear
he'd been under the tile, he'd been there all the while
we gathered our made up transfigurations in our hands

There's a Grizzly Bear in these rooms
There's a Grizzly Bear in these halls

O my God, Stop the tour!
Cancel them all!
Track Name: Ode to Diving Pelicans
Dive Dive Dive
Without sound sound sound

In the bay bay bay
The air around round round

Your ears ears ears
Before you hit the plain plain plain

Of the blue blue blue
Under the waves waves waves
Track Name: Ode to What I Don't Own Part I
What do we really have?
Has what we've ever own EVER left the hand?
When did economics mix with love?
With the Stones and the trees and with up above?

I don't own, I really don't own anything

The song I wrote feels lost
I really don't want to count the cost
When did economics mix with love?
With a kiss or a glance or with up above?

I don't own, I really don't own anything

What do we have?
Track Name: Ode to What I Don't Own Part II
You can have it all.
Track Name: Ode to Diving Pelicans (Reprise)
O Die Die Die
Without sound sound sound
In the bay bay bay
Your Babies around round round

Your chest chest chest
Soaked in blood blood blood
From from from
Your veins veins veins
Track Name: Ode to Humming
We pour over
The songs cased in light
Burned on the copyright
over and over

There's a forest fire
And its burning higher

We sign over
Our allegiance to actual sound
condensed and compounded

Can you hear my singing?
Through all of this ringing?

You turned over
The harmonies you'd hidden from me
The ones you'd tucked softly
In the corner of your cheek

Which is funny since I thought I heard them
In the neighbor's wind chimes droning

Hug me over
To fold out and let the world go
If you want we can hum
The depressed notes

They can weave forever
in the fabric of your green sweater
Track Name: Ode to the Woman Who Was Crying in Rob Roy Park
you cry behind your daughter

now

you cry behind your husband

now

your hand on your mouth
behind the tree

how dare I watch
from the kitchen sink

but to watch was all could give
Track Name: Ode to the Beloved Basement Saints
cobble together stone by stone
things we don't know about

the mysteries of bending knees
young with old
these are things we don't know about

can't get through these wrathful tones
these are things I don't know about

to whom could we go with these things we don't know about?

keep going with these things I don't know about

because I don't trust myself
