Broken Media
02:08

I shrink before my media
Like a hair that gets close to an open flame.
Humbled by the prophets
Delivering news that always seems the same.
A lingering flavor of futility
Colors every effort to resist
Still, the only thing to do
Is smash these things to little bits
I scream at broken media
Like a cell deprived of nutrients.
Hijacked by entertainment peddlers
Fluent only in fleeting internet trends.
Trying my best to avoid being blunted
By the hammering assault of big TV.
This computer offers more but feels no better.
Go outside! The experience is still free.
The veneer is not the same thing as the thing.
These people would have you think that it was.
They overwhelm with options so you can choose
Some representation of a thing that once was.
Virtual reality is not virtuous at all.
It's not reality and that's a fact.
My friends, stay the course. Refuse to be defeated
Or broken media will emerge intact.

My Morning Thoughts

The pen I used to write this set of words
Came all the way from the Chelsea Football Club
It was the nicest hotel (my first in London).
I remember it with a smile and all my love.
I wonder if that spider near my window
Will grow itself a longer pair of legs.
I'm sure it'll eat my brains if I do nothing.
I accept this fate as sealed.
Thanks to Ryan Parrish for the coffee.
Tasty notes of plum straight from the roast.
You're a stand-up kind of dude for the occasion
And when it comes to playing baritone, you're the most.
My car sits in a spot where sweeping's scheduled
Noon-3 on Friday or so it says.
If I don't heed the notice they'll cite me for my nerve.
How dare I park in the way of civic service?
Tonight I'll see a concert from some dear friends.
If some of them are listening now, "Hello".
It's at a secret local venue, presumably a house.
That's all I've got for now. Take care. Goodbye.

The Permanent Boy
03:08

I am the permanent boy.
Walking an impertinent path
Trying not to let the brass tacks
Clutter up the larger map
Without a care in the world
Except your company
Maybe some promotion down the road
Should you look upon my efforts favorably
though an imperfect structure
It's the only glorious game
Any alternative pursuit
Would be a terrible shame
To me, the permanent boy.
Where did you learn
Where did you figure
Crossing my path, spelling my name
Sounding out the vowels and tripping every trigger.
Now I stammer for the meaning
And linger for the sound
Laughing hard all the while
Even though you're not around.
I said I'm permanent
I really meant it then
A look from you is all the same
Such a fatal compliment
To me, the permanent boy.
Now I'm still a permanent boy
Permanently impatient, I know.
Perfectly inappropriate as far as
Would-be suitors go.
Seems this'll be a passing thought
Barely worth a mention
An idea bouncing time to time
In my mind's terminal dimension
You've got to board your flight
It's not the time, I know.
Well, here's another scuffed little ember
To hold before you go.
From another permanent boy.
The permanent boy.
