She steps on Eyeglasses

She Steps on Eyeglasses

Criss- crunch

and on the bunch

she tore each frame from the wall

and stepped on the glass.

Rose
and teal
and tinted black
it wasn't enough for what she saw.

The receptionist screamed
and the doctors all panicked
as the girl booted and banged
each frame to the ground.

And then she stopped
as the second to last pair
were mangled
and distressed.

She had see
and now had seen
and now there was nothing
to help her now.

Not glass
or knife
could bring the world
back to focus.

Stealing a Frame from the Reel

Stealing a Frame from the Reel

A live action feature
drawn out real slow,
with stop motion action
we'll put on our show.

Frame by frame magic
and sped up the same,
we'll blur all the lines
and watch us the game.

Clicking and clicking
and pose after pose
with time and with patience
the scene starts to grow.

So take this one instance
and pull it from scene
keep it deep in a pocket
so you'll know where we've been.

And when you watch it forward
and you see a space flicker,
you'll know you have something
from something much bigger.
