GREED is a bottomless pit which exhausts the person 

in an endless effort to satisfy the NEED 

without ever reaching SATISFACTION

Wake & bake,

Need a hit.

LOL. Laughing out loud, right kids?

Hand me your phone, I need to get this out there.

BAM. Nailed it. Bend over, yer gonna like.

The take-down will just be a few more minutes.

Out of the frying pan & into the fire I'm afraid.

You're in luck tho! Punishment? Does indeed appear

to be on the menu.

Both sides rotten 

both compromised

not surprised - terminal.

Crony capitalism has run its course

BUT c'mon, THE most corrupt administration

in U.S. history? Your vote?? Jesus man.

One last 'fuck you asshole' right?

Let's blow it up real good.

THAT'S the ticket

(how it's done).

Good job! YOU ROCK!

short term gain, long term pain

Can I be your friend?

Pass the bong,

need a hit.

Trumpism is kind of like smoking. Feels good.

A slow suicide in a life that doesn't

really matter anyway.

That said, 

This new populist conservatism

is just a flash in the pan

once everyone sees it

for what it is

A con.

THE CIRCLE

high on the hill in this red room by the ocean

we lay down on the floor of this house that you were formed in

and the marks on your skin tell your story to my fingers

close my eyes like a blind man and I wait to ride the night

watch clip first

out is the moon as it lights a naked shoulder
and this scar that it leaves is it all that you take with you
as the fires all ignite like one thousand magic lanterns
close my eyes like a blind man and I wait to ride the night

THE CIRCLE: story

I was browsing in an independent CD store on Queen West in Toronto

guessing early '97 and they were playing this disc

through their sound/speakers

"who's this"? asking the rustic dude behind the counter

He handed me the empty disc case ... "Babble, New Zealand" he said

"The guy from Thompson Twins, new band"

Right. I need this, 'sold'.

An hour later, ripping off the celophane - impatient

Thinking WTF - Thompson Twins? Right

OMFG

New Sony CD player

Marantz 1060 integrated power

Stax electostatic headphones

(a puff of inspiration)

ok, make no mistake about it

there were some sordid substances 

in the mix - there and here

I listened to it every day for a month

then once a week

once a month

then once a year

Guessing my last spin maybe 2003 - 2004

YouTube surfing in late 2024 - Jesus, BABBLE!

sifting through my discs - finding it, putting it on and ...

still holds up 30 years later

gotta do a remix of this

so cool

SWAN SONG

elation

the magic place 

of soul-soothing dreams 

where the silken sheen 

of polished glass under soft lights 

made her think of how lovely 

heaven was going to be

when inflicting punishment becomes our primary motivation

then maybe it's time to re-evaluate our faith
