lyrics

Dufour in the quarantine,
Forgin’ new forms of being;
Left the former me,
Formed the Nathan Dufour to be.
Borne and freed,
Leaping forth and accordingly
Courting the laurel leaf,
Recording this cordially.
Never did get Jordans, had the thickest thesaruses;
Kid this isn’t in the course, this is form in the formlessness:
It reports what my aura is,
In its oral-spit ornaments,
Its as precious as ore is,
Or as poor as quart of piss.
This literary’s corpus’ exorbitant corpulence
Is proportionate
To what you’ve been informed its importance is —
Its unfortunate,
But I’m not here to forfeit the tournament:
Floor it till the course is over, from the core to the orbit’s lip.
— Nathan Dufour, is it?
— Nathan Dufour for short,
Nathan for shorter,
Nate for even for more short.
Ordered it free-form,
For a fee or for sport;
It’s wavy, B: board shorts
At seashore resorts.

Speak for it,
See more,
Leap forward,
Seek glory —
Elite form.
A freak store of
Deep, warm
Meaning for ‘em:
Seems important
But really be sorta bored and needing to ford
Between moments of being in form
And more of being in fear of the storm
And feeling orphaned,
Mournin’.
…More then?

More hymns than a Mormon,
Poorer than Poor Min.
If you’re pourin’, then pour it in.
Your win, if yours is in purer form than Dufour’s —
Every new four is a sure tour de force.

But let’s be straightforward: is it all empty glow,
As we spin our wheels? — rims on a car that won’t go,
Bars like the color-bars that interrupt a show,
Lines like lines in a queue that moves slow.
— Is it all for the views like the scenic way, baby?
Till I got more subs than the United States Navy?
Till I got more plays than Shakespeare, Belechick?
Hella shit. Hey followers, let’s head over the precipice.

Yes it is, and isn’t. Opposites are intimates:
I’m just trying to quote the author of the infinite infinites.
It’s all a hall of mirrors — heavens or hells,
As they stare at one another staring into themselves.

If it ends, then oh well — but its not over though:
I can still do four like a clover, bro.
— I don’t know just what this parting speech was formed to show:
Except some bars to go.
— Nathan Dufour O.
