I Spilt milk on the kitchen floor
Smooth line of olive oil
A soft juicy exquisite peach
Squeezed to an empty shell
I hide the kitchen table
To confuse the sugar
Coffee and tea are unable
To blend together
I draw circles in milk
But they seem to disappear
Sooner than I can draw
Camouflaged by dried leaves
It's time to mature
Five corn seeds
I'm the blind man's dog
Smelling unrealistic weed

Trust me I'm sick
Bring me my lemon jacket
Push ahead
Orange tentacles collide
It's a mistake
But I won't hurt you
A smooth surface
Of full cream milk
Molding into sand
Won't do you any harm
Solving our problems
It won't kill you

She's a reminder of my mistakes
Evident in her lack of attention
You want to humiliate me
Treat me like dirt
Frustrated and insecure
I loose my integrity
Go ahead, try and change me
Change the structure of conversation
Try to find out what's on your mind
Rather than a fixed description
Of problems
Guilty, I try to reassure you
But a part of me is not sure
Go ahead, try and change me

Inability to concentrate
Need some sleep
Bizarre behaviour
I keep talking
To suppress the appetite
Trying to lose some weight
It's so unpleasant
Substance abuse
Help me sleep
Intense and compulsive
Development of tolerance
Consuming more

A dead man is floating in the water
It's just something I'm making up
I'm so unpredictable
Under different circumstances
I would have punished myself
But my instinct tells me
That my mood is changing
Strange things happend to me today
Short-cuts

Who knows what the next day brings
Who will write the text and sing
Words can not describe my wonderings
But why should some still be kings
Can't you see how easily we fall
To be the hypocrites I recall
Who knows what the next day brings
Who will write the text and sing
I won't crawl, I won't fall
I won't dance by any chance
Why don't they understand
Time flies like shifting sand
Why don't they understand
Symphonies in the sand

Enthrall me with your sadness and sophisticated madness
Oh, mighty sorrow, at the eve of no tomorrow
Bring me wine and meat and grain
For the time that does remain
Why take time for thought of a future this hollow
Let us sing and dance of joy
There's been yet too much annoy
You shall not be banal, do not jump in the canal
There were times enough to turn
But we are mammals of unlearn
We will tremble, we will fall and days we won't employ
Like mesozoic dinosaures
We'll be ironic metaphores

Art by machinery Trondheim, Norway
