IF YOU ARE HEARING THIS (YOU ARE NOT MAKING MUSIC)
what does does it mean anymore?
what does music mean?
it’s everywhere
so how can you make it special again?
if you are hearing this, you are not making music
if you are hearing this, you are not making music
if you are hearing this, you are not making music
and if you can hear this, you can not hear music
and you, you cannot hear the music in you
because when you are constantly listening to music
on the outside, you are not hearing the music in you
there are sounds in mind, in your heart, in your belly
that you are not hearing
on Spotify or Pandora
it’s a Pandora’s Box that takes you from your body
it’s some kind of virtual listening
an outer body experience
an inner ear hearing
the poetry that is lost
when you are hooked into a playlist created by a computer
you are not hearing, your own voices
of the earth and your body and the woman
you are listening to bits
to electronic slits
to little little tinny bits
so take it off
take off your headphones
and listen to the sound of pure silence in your room
this is a song

WAKING UP AND MISSING THE TRAIN BUT FIND SOMETHING ELSE (A SONG STORY)
my alarm clock went off late. I’m rushing around the house trying to get ready for work. I race out my front door and run to the station. i’m running down the stairs trying to get to the train. but then i fall and tumble down the stairs. all my books and papers are all over. oh no! here comes the train! i got all my papers and i don’t have my wallet. what’s this? a bell rings and suddenly i am in another place entirely. i am in a beautiful field. i am walking up a hill. i meet several creatures along the way. i meet a strange mouse who speaks in organ tones. how are you? i am fine says the mouse. how are you. well i’m late for work. my alarm went off late and i ran to the station and i fell and lost all my papers and then missed the train and now i’m here talking to you. well, said the mouse i am glad you found me. why is that i said. well you are very lucky you came here. follow me. so i follow the mouse down a path. we walk through rows or trees and flowers until we come to. oh no. the mouse says. i have to go. and then the mouse goes into a small door inside a tree. oh no. the mouse is gone. he didn’t even tell me what the good news was. all of a sudden i’m carried up 100 feet to the top of the tree. i can see a large kingdom. i am in the clouds. it is very peaceful. light bell music is playing. i enter an ascending escalator and it takes me further and further up. i reach the top. i am in a glass room with very high ceilings and the mouse is waiting. I am very tired and fall asleep.

HAPPINESS
why am i?
so depressed today
and everything seems to be in a funk
the things that use to work, don’t work
the things that brought me joy, don’t bring me joy
i don’t know how to get myself back
my breath smells like a rat
the food i eat tastes like shit
the places i go are boring
the people i know are stupid
what happened to my happiness?
it was there
i had it for a month or two
now it’s gone away
and i don’t know where it went?
won’t you please come back to me?
i want to see you once again
won’t you come back to me?
why does my breath smell like coffee?
won’t you come back to me?
i don’t ever drink coffee
won’t you come back to me?
i have bug bites all over my face
won’t you come back to me?
my haircut looks like crap
won’t you come back to me?
and i’m not going out
won’t you come back to me?
and i bought too many tapes
won’t you come back to me?
and i miss the spirit i had
won’t you come back to me?
won’t you come back to me?
won’t you come back to me?
won’t you come back to me?

there is nothing that i have to do

where did he find that big red hat?
it matches the flowers across the street
where did you find that big red hat?
where is it standing?

THE DETECTIVE
this is very painful
i just keep on trying
there is no solution
for me now
the detective and his assistant
they go out for a walk
they are looking for clues
to the murder mystery
two men died as mysteriously
on a broken part of town
now detective and his assistant
are sent to figure out the work
they find a key
at the crime scene
so they use their magnifying glasses
and they use their skills
and they find a track of rubber
and a bloody knife
and a bloody knife
so they pick it up and take it
to the a(( ))…
to the lab
to analyze it
they see that there is a small hair
and they are able to identify it with the victim
but that doesn’t help with the motive
so they question everyone that the victim knew
her father, her brother, her cousin
and her mother and her friends
they figure out
that the killer must have been her father
he went missing for a few days
and then he was found with the weapon on his hand
this is such a dark a story
so why am i telling it?
there is no point to it
i am sorry that i told it
i am sorry that i had to sing it
i am sorry that you had to hear it
i don’t know where i am going
except that i have to change my writing
and incorporate darker themes
if i want to grow
