Stuck in some muck...

I really enjoy listening to music while I attempt to complete this work sample. It's hard though! I have a very hard time double-tasking. I love music so much, so anything I hear that's new to my ears I instantly perk up and forget that I was working on school stuff. Here's a poem that popped up on Slacker Radio, and I'm not sure if it was part of a song, or just a random insert of poetry in my radio station. Either way I really enjoyed it. Where is this from?! (I'm way out of the loop)

Butter/Lost by M. Doughty

Against hands, a smooth
is smoothed around
and skin
rushes up to it,
cooing sweat like a whistle
defecting a steampipe.

Oiled, the machine chuffs
and the brain is dry, and the nerves
scurry off with messages to no one
in charge, while this equals this:
two arms locked into each other
are without a mind to differentiate
between limbs and hips, therefore,
I have come here to get lost.
