The times, tabled
Remember the poetry you wrote in the wind leaning out of automatic windows as a kid or the song the song that started to spin when you lit yr very first stolen cigarette
With a timeless mind those revolutions never end
Replay the movie of yr youthful truth or dare kiss recall the gourmet taste of his spit reread the chapter where you couldn’t decide whether or not to live
With mindless...

tour poem 3
i knew if you let me down again
i would have no love left
and i was mostly right
i felt it go
i have no more feelings towards
anything i know
or knew
especially that aweful city
and you
my own face is a distant memory
that i suppress
belly full of beer and a half pack
of cigarettes
but not that brand
i must say i dont have it all that bad
its never easy to forget
but if you...
tour poem 2
unloveable but love is bull shit anyway
and that is something you said
you made the choice, you wrecked the bed
i try to escape into waves inside my head
never ending noise
and your voice weeping
into a baby’s grave
as autumn
tears at my face
it was the saddest sound
standing there
in the spinning air
of the silent cemetary
disrupted by your despair
and the song that sounded...
some poems from the road
im too fucked up to write right now
but i gotta say something
i dont know how important it might be,
but its true
i know that for sure; i do!
i am meant for something great
and im not afraid to say
i am the king of this land
because i am also the servant
the lowest and most powerful being
this world has ever seen
wait and see; i am deep!
ha!
you might think i am a cliche
but i am...

moving practice spaces once again...
we go through more practice spaces than babies do diapers. we have seriously had a room at every space in chicago. so much so that the owners communicate with each other and tell horror stories about us setting fires and breaking shit (mostly false)! but today we are going back to our home base so to speak at redlight studios in garfield park. not too stoked about the neighborhood but i love the...
