Honorable Mention
almost, at no point should we avoid disaster
vox et praeterea nihil

almost, at no point should we avoid disaster
like the start of something spring
is after. if not for all the momentaries
all the final drafts
all the horrors running scary throughout
all the scenes
all the mess we put into this, almost

see spot do things we've never seen
to things we've never dreamed were things
at no point should we disapprove
because if you were spot
we'd see you do the things we've never seen before
all the final drafts
all the horror and the minute that your back is turned
we all fall down

and crash apart upon the ground
and laughter (like the start of something
spring is after) we all fall down

and jack and jill and broken crowns
and spiders up the water spouts
and roses running sores about the pale flesh
and guess who's left
that goddamn egg, the bears, the best of all
the queen and king, that sleeping bitch
(i think you know exactly who i mean)

from rabbit holes to rabbit holes
catapult us into gardens blooming walls of
gingerbread, sugarplums around my head
and who's that up there on the roof?
a tin man, scarecrow, the witch is dead,
long live the sneetches
and with a poof of magic we all fall down.

pour a glass of talking rats from the flask
of donald's mathemagic dreams (i think you
know exactly what i mean, and on and on
and on beyond the second star upon the right
and where the sidewalk ends tonight)
let's lead the bastards out of town.

and jack and jill and broken crowns
and laughter (like the start of something
spring is after winter follows fall and so on)
back against the wall we've gone as far as
we can go alone, and if it wasn't for you pesky kids

we'd get off clean, no violence, but
all the scenes

all the mess we put into this
all the dreams, and jung would have a field day

with all the things i haven't seen spot do to me
today, the way we make it is we close our eyes
and drift away and fly to never neverwhere (you're always
there, alone and scared) the sheep and talking furniture
the cartoon penguins dance with her...

and pull your sword out of her stone (and if it sings)
you'll be the king (and if it stings) i'll grant you any worldly dream
and if you rub the lamp you'll get the first three things
you think of next, then ride buck naked straight through town

but the minute that your back is turned
we'll all fall down.
