JPEG by Torgny Lyrics
May, June, July
And I think of the Walkman, the Discman, the MiniDisc
LaserDisc, VHS, myspace
Mixing consoles with dead channels
Cave Of Forgotten Dreams
Cocaine submarines and drugged up limousines
“The extent of your dreams are based on the cost of your rent”
My apartment — where you came like a fire hose being used for the first time in years — will eventually be reduced to JPEGs of strangers in a strange land
She said “Death is the only arrival”
She admired the philosopher, but felt his male gaze
She had an affair with a Hells Angels president
She was an atheist, but got a Christian funeral
Thank you Mom and Dad
Scenes from the different lives she could’ve led
Racing through my head
June 12th, 2014
Her pixelated smile is a torch
Her eyes like two abortions
Sushi rice on her sock
IKEA silence and panties on the floor
Tricks in a sunset
Joints in a mindset
October’s breath
Back it up in a cloud
And I think of the Walkman, the Discman, the MiniDisc
LaserDisc, VHS, myspace
Mixing consoles with dead channels
Cave Of Forgotten Dreams
Cocaine submarines and drugged up limousines
“The extent of your dreams are based on the cost of your rent”
My apartment — where you came like a fire hose being used for the first time in years — will eventually be reduced to JPEGs of strangers in a strange land
She said “Death is the only arrival”
She admired the philosopher, but felt his male gaze
She had an affair with a Hells Angels president
She was an atheist, but got a Christian funeral
Thank you Mom and Dad
Scenes from the different lives she could’ve led
Racing through my head
June 12th, 2014
Her pixelated smile is a torch
Her eyes like two abortions
Sushi rice on her sock
IKEA silence and panties on the floor
Tricks in a sunset
Joints in a mindset
October’s breath
Back it up in a cloud
