Smashing tubes for solid state
broken alternator radiator jumper cable
sleeping through the '80s, ragged anthems
drool pillow filter black black black monday
velvet paintings Miles and Coltrain
freedom fighters misfits and junkies
the tragic death of Marvin Gaye in self-defense
every last lighter tunes down half a step
if only I were 21 in 91 I would be done
by now sinister migraine medicine abuse
explosive stomach apothacary moods
in your overcast skies, in your lightning eyes
in my lumpy gravy of a brain streams
in a drifting lie of a life so very fine

(the following is an old poem being reprinted here for the sole purpose of keeping the Blogger people from shutting this blog down for inactivity. But enjoy, nonetheless.)

Sullivan's Ghost

There's laughter in the tomb, a pool of fire in the womb.
There's an echo of a smile from the freon fumes.
A small black dot where his soul once stood
And eyes like wine once upon a time.

The ghost of Sullivan, spirit king of hooligans,
Had us running like banshees in the shadows of the streets again
And then we laid the funny man to rest
In a midnight garden, in a misfit heaven
for an eternity of jest.
