Clumsy spiders
crawl the ceiling
When one trips
it falls, pinwheeling
down your neck
or in your hair
Slumbering mouths
had best beware
for this light snack
unlooked for treat
will climb your tongue
with eight clawed feet
to flee in fear
past sleeping lips
with tickling, hairy
pedipalp tips
And should you snore
grind, or inhale
as in your mouth
the creature scales
your fate entwined
with it shall be
waking unaware
yet less hungry

Computer computer
what do you say?
I stare at your face
all of my day
With my online friends
I want to play
but right now it seems
they’ve all gone away
For your edification:
A selection of deep thoughts from one of the greatest minds of this or any generation.
Q: “Whaddya call that tool they use to melt metal parts together?” A: “Well, derr!”
You can’t really believe anything they say on products any more.
I bought some so-called “streakless” glass cleaner the other day?
I was out of my clothes and running down the street in five minutes.
Didja hear the one about the new cologne that smells like burning money?

I understand the concept of 3d. I also get 1d, 2d, and even 4d, I suppose. But … 80d? What the hell is that? 80d?
Ferlinghetti ate spaghetti,
Chaucer chewed on wood
But I ain’t found a goddamn thing
that I think’s all that good
If we now choose to only accept the constructive and creative contributions made by those without personal flaw or history of social misstep, we will find ourselves in a very narrow alley, indeed.
Albert Einstein, after all, was a serial philanderer, damaging the lives of many of the women in his life and his own children with his selfish actions. Shall we ignore his contributions to our world as punishment?
Wrongs should be prevented and, when they occur, righted. Those caught doing wrong need to be called out, given the chance to apologize, make the appropriate penance, and move on. Figures from the past gain value with further scrutiny into the vagaries of their lives but there is no way to punish them, and we only hurt ourselves when we cast away what good they left behind in an attempt.
What fault is it of the work that its creator is flawed and how do we benefit by this eschewing of the positive light that these fully human people emit?
A good portion of that bath waste water is baby, folks.
I’ve spent the bulk of my life almost completely uninterested in both sports and cars. So it is quite the shock to find myself suddenly and happily embroiled in 1:64 diecast gravity racing.
“Guerilla Carfare” is somewhat unique among my other recent tracks in that it’s actually fairly new. I stumbled across the riff a few months back and the song came together relatively quickly (for someone using my protracted process).
I first started playing around with the rhythm for “Whiskey Tango,” which I was calling “Just Walkin’,” back in January of 2018. I added to it slowly, over the two years that it was in my DAW’s queue, and only recently realized that it kinda sorta sounded like a tango.
I’d almost completely forgotten about “Tearing Linen” when I queued it up for a listen the other day. “Say, that’s not too bad,” I thought. “Just needs a bass line and a little polish.”
