here's the song i wrote most recently.
maybe it would be better if you could hear the music,
maybe it wouldn't.

Light That Never Dies

I can't remember the day
that the sun went down
but it turned my days as dark as night
and I lost my flashlight.
Couldn't hear a sound,
there was nobody around
so I went inside and found
a light...

Indianapolis.
there just hasn't been much to say. i'm sure that somehow, the law of thermodynamics could be used to analogize my writer's mind, but what's really happening is that i fear it would be a burden-by-vacuum-of-boon to the world to encode my recent thoughts into their corresponding sequence of words and let them be visible; it would do nobody any good, maybe even harm....

years ago, i told them that if they come within 500 or so miles of me, that i'd go see them.
since then, i've seen them in denver twice and chicago, and they've been through kansas city three or four times.
i have a place to stay in chicago, but both times that i've driven to denver to see them, i drove the 8 hours...

i used to drink a lot of the vaguely orange, citrus flavored Sobe Energy, especially on roadtrips. when the cap is unscrewed from the bottle, there is a message inside the cap. being a fan of divination in all its forms, i've always enjoyed this, and even taken heed of some of the cryptic things found there; some of them are just plain silly, of...

I hate him for all the things he's done!
Because I love her so!
I got the devil in me!
It's sadness!
It's a cloud
- "Sadness" by Porno for Pyros

shit phase lately. when negative clouds obscure my optimistic core, my cynical asshole syndrome flares up and piece by piece, i proclaim that the whole world sucks, though i know the truth. i grow...

imbolc marked the peak of winter and everyone was unimpressed, if they even noticed.
two days later, they complained that it was getting cold.
everything started slowing as the raging fires of january turned to glowing ash
and the ice on the river grew thick and deep,
all the creatures went to sleep.
Earth donned her makeup, all smooth and gray to white,

i've just moved to a new land where i don't understand the people's behavior or language,
yet in hopes of life improvement, i've joined their military.
now i work in a submarine with five other guys who scream orders, curses and aspersions
while moving like cogs in a clock; it's a highly choreographed, yet improvisational dance,
building torpedoes with large knives and boiling oil.

my best friend called me, all excited on friday:
"you know my chef friend that i told you about over xmas?
he fired two of his sous chefs, and i talked you up...you gotta call him at 2 on monday."
we talked on the phone for five or ten minutes,
wasn't much of an interview, i think he was feeling out my personality.
that's what...

Forever Music

those songs that never grow tiresome
because they are the gospel
written by the gods of yr world.
bought 'em when they came out
and never stopped listening.
heard 'em a million times--
every word, every note and nuance,
every song, even the rare stuff,
you know it like a mirror;
those songs are family--
you know everything about them
those songs are...

it's amazing how the status of socks increases through the years;
when yr a kid, they're the last things you want,
when yr an adult, it's different.
i didn't get any socks for giftmas this year,
but that's ok, because also amazing through the passage of time
is how much longer clothes last. last year's socks are still good.
i have pictures of myself from...
