I sewed my lips shut to offend you

[Kieran McConville]

Got a tape recorder where his head oughta be
Got ears in the soles of his feet

He's dreaming of powerlines
He's envisaging poolside scenes
Planning long country drives
And conjuring pyramid schemes

Yeah that bastard got nothing but blue skies
And it rains when he cries

I sewed my lips shut to offend you
Looking for your umbilical lord
That's right I'm not talking to you
Praying to your umbilical lord

In bold primary colours

It will spam your mind
It will grace your insides

I want to sleep in a field of tame bees
To live life from the corner of my eye
To dress like Elvis and walk on my knees
To keep breathing and not wonder why
Don?t need no ten foot sign
Don?t need no public address
Don?t need no valentines
Don?t need no future tense
Don?t need the lies
Don?t want the truth
Don?t doubt me now
Don?t have no proof

 

[The Wanderer]

yeah yeah, good stuff Kieran

you have such a distinct writing style, I still don't think I've found one word or phrase in your poems that sounds contrived or pretentious (hope that doesn't make you too self-conscious in the future! haha, well anyway, keep doing your thing man, I know I'm enjoying it)

 

[Kieran McConville]

Thanks folks. Much appreciated as always.

I agree, I love your style of writing. Thanks for sharing, K.

That is so cool... I love the rhythm and it's so... I dunno, immediate...

Does it relate to the refugee thing at all? I saw the title and thought you might be an Aussie... tho I dunno how much coverage it's getting in other countries.

Anyway, it's great! Would like to see more

 

[Kieran McConville]

err, the refugee thing. Well, I am in Australia, and all too aware of it, but no this isn't really about that. The image came from there however.
