Give tools down time (1996)

tore the roof off a house put down flush
plywood papered the thing in commie grade
velvet filled a dumpster with dreams
size of semis
brought down two porches of hello
scaled the house to the gills
poured new footings
dropped a chimney and filled prestonian institute
with landscaping gypsy bones
dug up the filthy oil field soil pruned the
lush blackberry tentacles
right now i need to brush
the house
out of my hair so unload the truck
give us tools
some downtime, down time, to sport
clean socks, clean socks, smoke herb, 
blow it toward a north portland church profile
back lit clouds wash of one way cars
my body spent
as mind scrapes shit windows all the doo dah day
fer dat needed Pay
