Lately I've been trying to exist. For the reason of a time lapse. The metronome writes the next moment. Sleeping in some darkness, a few hours here or there. I should get to a concert price eventually. If you have the $ they tend to be memorable experiences you will feel in the iron in your bloodstream. I haven't been to one for a few years except for the one I played 4 months ago at an open mic. These days my playing is getting worse but my writing is getting "normality". I write a few sentences, and a new song or two. The difficult challenge is to keep some separation of church and state, but I'm not a dictator. What will the summer bring? Lots of music, to the people who enjoy music, and I'll be the designated driver for someone. I usually know how to find my way home. Where to, the usual places?
My first Punk Rock show was seeing Naked Raygun at the 7th Street Entry, but the first one I remember was The Beach Boys at the old brutalism. There was an organ at church and a piano tuned by John Cage. But why Elvis, thanks for the nail file in the cake mom. Ordinarily I have always thought of myself as a bad guitar player especially when I improvise with three or four strings. But now my old massive record collection is long gone and hopefully breathing on the Internet. Ear plugs optional. Ouch.
Where will you find the silence?
And please don't show up too drunk. I'm Still trying to avoid my liver escaping and sitting at the old bars trying to meet other livers.
If I did tour, say with Belle? Parfois. Honestly I'd carry my phone and a note book. Scratch a poem or a map or a drawing of copies we'd make. The night exists for light between the stars I see she's found me again. Should I run to my imagination? Or should I just send her the story in a perfect bound or hardcover. Somewhat limited, so as not to eat all the foliage. I want her to be my beacon, there are the other constellations aussi(e).
Where in the world Carmen and Santa-i-A-Go?
Do I want to find them, or just let them have a good time? The population is 9b last time I checked. Skyscrapers and more planets would be one possibility. But so far I'm content.
To be continued...
