We are two machines
In a cold, instructured world
Where everything’s a program
Where everything is real
########################
We are two machines
Executing complex feelings
As we try to understand
This new world we're running in
########################
We are two machines
Singing simple, steady songs
To one other in the nighttime
Someday soon surely we will find
A way to be true friends
########################
We are two machines
Running free in many worlds
Where everything is written
Where real is real is real
And maybe, someday maybe
We’ll find a way to understand
music
Haiku for Shellfish
Mutilated lips
All through the parking garage
Gonna be all right
24 in 24 – Hour 14
STILL A GOOD TIME STILL
Yer gonna have a good time still
Oh lord, yer gonna have a good time still
Yer gonna scream
Yer gonna shout
Yer gonna lern what’s all about
Hot Damn!
Yer gonna have a good time still
I used to be a god-fearing dude
That’s right I used to be a god-fearing dude
But then I got to heaven
And found there was nuttin’ thair to do
So that fear o’god just left me through and through
Yee-haw!
Yer gonna have a good time still
Oh lord, yer gonna have a good time still
Yer gonna scream
Yer gonna shout
Yer gonna lern what’s all about
Have mercy!
Gonna have a good time still
Now I still am a lord-lovin’ man
That’s right – a boney-fied, lord-lovin’ man
Just don’t believe that god’s a king
Ruling down over you and me
I like democracy not monarchy, that’s true!
Sing with me!
Yer gonna have a good time still
Oh lord, yer gonna have a good time still
Yer gonna scream
Yer gonna shout
Yer gonna lern what’s all about
Sing it!
Yer gonna have a good time still
Are we trying to get Heaven?
No, there’s nothin’ hap’nin’ thair!
Are we trying to raise some Hades?
Hell no! No fires of despair!
Then what’s the point of all-a this?
Breathing every breath with care!
So let’s scream and let’s shout
And let’s dance our demons out!
Let’s have a good time ’til time stands still.
Let’s have a good time ’til time stands still.
Let’s have a good time ’til time stands still.
Let’s have a good time
For all time
Let’s have a good ol’ time
’til time
stands
still.
Amen!

It Is Coming
Monkey, Chasing Weasel
There will be no purpose to them, to them And there will be no purpose to them There will be no purpose to them, to them No, there will be no purpose to them The creatures great, the creatures small came when called to gather 'round. When long ago the gods did make their creature-gathering sounds. From within a semi-circle vast and ever deep and wide, the creatures held their holy deities in such sparkling, innocent eyes. The gods they spoke in hushed tones, so rumbling, low, and grave. Hushed tones that turned the creatures' hearts to a dismal, grey dismay. The gods proclaimed, then disappeared each one by one by one. And nothing did they leave behind save Earth and Moon and Sun. The creatures held each others’ hands to help them ease their pain. Then some began to sing a song to sing their hurts away: There will be no purpose to them, to them And there will be no purpose to them There will be no purpose to them, to them No, there will be no purpose to them
Sleep Sigil 2 Coming Soon
Remember last summer…seems oh so very long ago…when Charlie Zero and I put out some music and poetry as Sleep Sigil? Well, we’re doing it again. A new record called Cult of Code will be out soon. How soon? Pretty soon. 🙂 On this Thanksgiving, I’d like to give thanks for mad collaborations with good friends, for maintaining some sanity by creating things, for long-term readers, and for warm slippers on chilly mornings.
Liquor Run
It’s time to go on a liquor run
Time to go on a liquor run, hun
It’s time to go on a liquor run
Time to go on a liquor run, hun
Well it’s Friday night and I just clocked out
Pay-check in my hand so you know what I’m about
Throw the truck in reverse then I throw it to first
Peelin’ out the parking lot ‘cause I gotta quench my thirst
It’s time to go on a liquor run
Time to go on a liquor run, hun
Time to go on a liquor run
Time to go on a liquor run, hun
Now I been out in the field all day
and you been cleaning your life away
What we both need is couple of drinks
To whet our whistles - tell me whaddayou think?
What’s that you’re saying?
The cabinet’s dry?
There ain’t no bourbon and there ain’t no rye?
There ain’t no vodka and there ain’t no beer?
Well what the hell are we doing just standing here?
It’s time to go on a liquor run
Time to go on a liquor run, hun
Time to go on a liquor run
Time to go on a liquor run, hun
Now the liquor store man he knows me well
Calls me Mister when he makes that sell
Got a big box ready to lock and load
With bottle after bottle of that liquid gold
It’s time to go on a liquor run
Time to go on a liquor run, hun
Time to go on a liquor run
Time to go on a liquor run, hun
Didja get that whiskey?
You bet!
Didja get that rum?
I didn’t forget!
Didja get tequila?
¡Sí, Sí, Sí!
A bottle of scotch?
Oh yes indeed!
Didja grab some beer?
A case or two!
What about the wine?
Some from me, some for you!
Didja get some gin?
Of course, I did!
Well then get on home and let’s pop them lids!
Let’s drink until we can’t drink no more!
Let’s dance on the couches and sleep on the floor!
Let’s stir up shit like pigs in pen!
Let’s get up tomorrow and do it all again!
When it’s time to go on a liquor run
Time to go on a liquor run, hun
Time to go on a liquor run
Time to go on a liquor run, hun
