Side Effect

The side effect of yellow teeth
Overlaps a vivid habit
Makes my words work twice as hard
Made me understand not smiling
The only city street I asked
Not to change took just the summer
The storied three-point arch
Became a pair of SUVs
The side effect of losing hair
I've been assigned a brand new figure
The rack of hats, a lottery
To work the sun, to tend my out anxiety
I work everything I wear
Even the dress I don on laundry day
There's no one in the Laundry Works
Who knows I don't usually wear gym shorts
The side effect of being bored
A moment not full of distractions
To pinch, to turn, to twist or pull
Adjust the brightness of the screen
The only city street I asked
Not to change took just one season
The front facade of local stones
Became caladium glass
I spent an infancy with oaks
I bought an adolescent kiss
The side effect of a divorce
The kid is skeptical of love
I spent an infancy with oaks
I bought an adolescent kiss
The side effect of a divorce
The kid is skeptical of love

Full Costume

You came dressed in full costume
To your first outing in months
You didn’t want anyone to see
The real shape you’re in
Under scarves and tack-on lashes
A mammal thread with arms
You look like a sitcom star
Attention poor and crowd-deprived
This is not some backdrop dive
And the scene being poured
Is not a put-on prop device
Mary Tyler Moore can take a cab
Across Chicago in the rain
And Gene Wilder’s on a train
To some less candy-colored scape
Are you holding on to the rails?
Did you have a hand in mind?
Is there a difference when the sun is coming up?
This is not some backdrop dive
And the scene being poured
Is not a put-on prop device

Marmalakes Austin
Marmalakes is the Austin, TX, group led by Chase Weinacht and Josh Halpern, lifelong friends whose spirited intensity leaps
from their recordings and performances.
Weinacht pays tribute to rural life in sparsely populated Texas towns he lived in as a child (those scenes and voices permanently inform his songwriting), while employing a playfulness only found in the city.
