A Suit and a Haircut

Yesterday I bought a suit and a haircut,
and now I’ve got the world on a string.
At least until the string’s cut,
then it won’t mean a thing.

Interviews, moving, assignments,
fond farewells and
fond hellos
and
the

that beckons like a drum,
that thrums through the wires;
the distance between home and home.

It was never a choice,
but it was always hard not choosing.

Easter melody

I was playing around learning “Hit Me Baby One More Time”, and I started playing this instead. Funny how music works.

Happy Easter, whatever it means to you. :)

Ahniwa Ferrari - untitled guitar tune

a poem, but not for me

apple trees, winter

silence marks keep filling up the page

angled lines of desperation stretch across

margin to margin like evening shadows

reach across the endless winter

what of that pink railway carriage

what of those blue cushions

we’d have never reached out

had we but known

Flying home

See y’all in Olympia!

Your Head Asplode

faded diver

Mad-cap dash rap
my brain is a thrummin’
haven’t got the chance
all day to give a crap
to this song I’m strummin’

Mixed up and overmixed
battered up, not buttered
overpopped and underseasoned
my arguments become unreasoned
as I become unspun

Flown over, flown by
days pass by and by
I float awry and wonder

why

why

why

Clueless and getting less
clued in, my mind spins
just three more days now
just three more days now
just three more days now

Second year’s the charm
almost done
overcooked
asploded.
