There is no eraser on the end of a scalpel.

Give Your Heart To The Hawks
1 he apples hung until a wind at the equinox,
That heaped the beach with black weed, filled the dry grass
Under the old trees with rosy fruit.
In the morning Fayne Fraser gathered the sound ones into a
basket,
The bruised ones into a pan. One place they lay so thickly
She knelt to reach them.
Her husband's brother passing
Along the broken fence of the stubble-field,
His quick brown eyes took in one moving glance
A little gopher-snake at his feet flowing through the stubble
To gain the fence, and Fayne crouched after apples
With her mop of red hair like a glowing coal
Against the shadow in the garden. The small shapely reptile
Flowed into a thicket of dead thistle-stalks
Around a fence-post, but its tail was not hidden.
The young man drew it all out, and as the coil
Whipped over his wrist, smiled at it; he stepped carefully
Across the sag of the wire. When Fayne looked up
His hand was hidden; she looked over her shoulder
And twitched her sunburnt lips from small white teeth
To answer the spark of malice in his eyes, but turned
To the apples, intent again. Michael looked down
At her white neck, rarely touched by the sun,
But now the cinnabar-colored hair fell off from it;
And her shoulders in the light-blue shirt, and long legs like a boy's
Bare-ankled in blue-jean trousers, the country wear;
He stooped quietly and slipped the small cool snake
Up the blue-denim leg. Fayne screamed and writhed,
Clutching her thigh. 'Michael, you beast.' She stood up
And stroked her leg, with little sharp cries, the slender invader
Fell down her ankle.
Fayne snatched for it and missed;
Michael stood by rejoicing, his rather small
Finely cut features in a dance of delight;
Fayne with one sweep flung at his face
All the bruised and half-spoiled apples in the pan,

Cowgirl
Everything.
Im invisible.
An eraser of love. an erazor of love.
Why dont you call me I feel like flying in two.
Im invisible.
An eraser of love. an erazor of love.
Why dont you call me I feel like flying in two.
An eraser of love. an erazor of love.
I dont dream. (ice cream.) I scream so much.
You know what I mean. this electric stream.
And my tears in league with the wires
And energy and my machine.
This is my beautiful dream.
Im hurting no one. hurting no one.
I want to give you everything.
I want to give you energy.
I want to give a good thing.
I want to give you everything.
Everything.
In one final scream of love who could
Climb this high she looks beautiful
Like a child I feel tears.
And I want to scream.
You know what I mean cause this is hurting no one.
An erazor of love.
Hurt. the necessary feeling.
Why dont you call me I feel like flying in two.
An erazor of love.

Tongue Tied
Written by max collins
One thousand faces all look the same
They're all so boring mild and tame
Contaminate him knock off his glasses
Teach him to tamper with the cloning process
Pardon me sir can i ask you a favor
Make me a cowboy like my next door neighbor
Pardon me sir can i use your eraser
To remove my brain of unconventional nature
Take my tongue
It's cocked and loaded
The board has dubbed you special student
Sit alone sweat in silence
We don't tolerate defiance
One thousand paces lead to the gate
They're all so mild sedate
You hear me say this don't make any sense
As i hop up and over the fence
Hooked on nicotine and phonics
Fun like macro economics
Still and quiet like they taught us
Fun like macro economics
Vigilante thoughts and a cheap guitar
I am my own movie star
I don't know you i don't want to
I don't know you i don't want to

A pleasant mood of a ragged Angel!
A street child smiled
As a Lottery Winner!
And I inquired.
She has found a pencil stub
and an eraser
in a trash bin?

what i am
time erases from time to time
what i write
the letters fade and what
comes back to my mind
is the blankness
of the wall
i have no complain about
the ways of this
eraser
in fact
that is the way how i want
myself to be
fresh to the waking up
of all hours
new to every eyes
horizons stretching
without end
roads flying roads
birds with four
to eight wings

Doormat
Im not your doormat, your floormat
So dont wipe your feet on me
Im not the only garibaldi
Theres more fish in the sea
Im not your puppy, nor goldfish
So dont treat me like your pet
Im not your butterfly, so dont try
To chase me with your net Im not your kneaded eraser
So dont you wear me down
Im not your sledge, sledge hammer
Im no tool, that you pound
Im not your blacktop, for hopscotch
So dont jump all over me
Im not the place where the dogs roam
At the bottom of the tree dont you treat me like I have no feelings
Dont you treat me like that, I have feelings
Dont treat me like that
Dont you treat me like that
Dont treat me like that
Dont you treat me like that! Im not your carefree, nor sugarless
Like the gum on your shoe,
Im not the ring round your finger
Nor am I wrapped around you
Im not your shoe string, your rope thing
So dont tie me in a knot
Im not your asphalt, with oil spots
So dont use me as a parking lot

Hook In Mouth
A cockroach in the concrete, courthouse tan and beady eyes.
A slouch with fallen arches, purging truths into great lies.
A little man with a big eraser, changing history
Procedures that hes programmed to, all he hears and sees.
Altering the facts and figures, events and every issue.
Make a person disappear, and no one will ever miss you.
Rewrites every story, every poem that ever was.
Eliminates incompetence, and those who break the laws.
Follow the instructions of the new ways evil book of rules.
Replacing rights with wrongs, the files and records in the schools.
You say youve got the answers, well who asked you anyway?
Ever think maybe it was meant to be this way?
Dont try to fool us, we know the worst is yet to come.
I believe my kingdom will come.
Chorus
F is for fighting, r is for red,
Ancestors blood in battles theyve shed.
E, we elect them, e, we eject them,
In the land of the free, and the home of the brave.
D, for your dying, o, your overture,
M, they will cover your grave with manure.
This spells out freedom, it means nothing to me,
As long as theres a p.m.r.c.
F is for fighting, r is for red,
Ancestors blood in battles theyve shed.
E, we elect them, e, we eject them,
In the land of the free and the home of the brave.
D, for your dying, o, your overture,
M is for money and you know what that cures.
This spells out freedom, it means nothing to me,
As long as theres a p.m.r.c.
Put your hand right up my shirt,
Pull the strings that make me work,
Jaws will part, words fall out,
Like a fish with hook in mouth.
Rewrites every story, every poem that ever was.
Eliminates incompetence, and those who break the laws.
Follow the instructions of the new ways evil book of rules.
Replacing rights with wrongs, the files and records in the schools.

Im a man

The Night He Cant Remember
(trace adkins/kenny beard/sarah majors)
He lost his job that mornin stopped off and bought a fifth of pride
A reality eraser, a little taste to help face her that night
He broke his same ol promise when he showed up with whiskey on his breath
That night he cant remember, the one that she cant forget
Now hes been clean and sober since twenty-three october 95
His drinking days are over but theres that one she cant get off her mind
He tries to apologize but cant recall and dont realize
She wont forgive whatever he said
That night he cant remember, the one she cant forget
Well, she never has remarried cause she never has stopped carryin the pain
It serves as a reminder that the man she left behind her just couldnt change
If she only knew she probably saved his life the night she left
That night he cant remember, the one that she just cant forget
Now hes been clean and sober since twenty-three october 95
His drinking days are over but theres that one she cant get off her mind
And he tries to apologize but cant recall and dont realize
She wont forgive whatever he said
That night he cant remember
Oh the night he cant remember, the one she cant forget
The night he cant remember is the one she cant forget

Magical Eraser
She wouldn't believe
This pencil has
A magical eraser.
She said I was a silly moo,
She said I was a liar too,
She dared me prove that it was true,
And so what could I do--
I erased her!

Stupid Pencil Maker
Some dummy built this pencil wrong,
The eraser's down here where the point belongs,
And the point's at the top - so it's no good to me,
It's amazing how stupid some people can be.
