  • Another Sleep Haiku For You OR Its a Switch With a Switch

    I am brought to this

    Who am I, as a

    I can? Offering

    I have trouble with
    simple, though mostly in thought
    I: complicated.

    But I strive for less
    to achieve more with short strokes
    I: simplicity.

  • Beware a Man-Child Scorned ALSO I’ll Eat Your Morning With Blueberries and Honey

    I am childlike in
    my self-discipline. Charming
    in self-obsession.

    I start sentences
    with “I” almost always. I
    am afraid of fear.

    When confronted with
    the probability of
    being wrong, I rage.

    Both the gluttoness
    and the more fury-like state.
    I am childlike out.

    I’d say there are things

    That’d be a lie.

    Except maybe being told
    that I’m wrong. I guess that’s worse.

  • Writing Haiku AND Understanding the Sonic Bonus Level That is My Brain

    To write haiku is
    for me to delve to the deep
    darkness in my brain,

    and find the truest
    and most reliable thought
    and shove it into

    some sort of semblance
    of seventeen characters
    that represent one.

    Frustration, timing

  • Poem for Bean

    Let’s drink warm drinks,
    play games, sing songs, be merry
    and love each other.

    Let’s make up words and
    have adventures, take some risks
    and love each other.

    Let’s go places in and
    out of our current city,
    and let’s love each other.

    Let’s hold hands and get
    drunk and laugh hard at others
    and let’s love each other.

    Let’s kiss and smile
    both for cameras and people
    and let’s love each other.

    Let’s be friends today,
    tomorrow, the next day, next
    and let’s love each other.

  • Alliteration is Stupid OR Brakes Break and Wakes Wake.

    I am broken, blue.
    Beleaguered, buoyant bodies
    blowing in beachside.

    I had a dream about helicopters, dead bodies, and my girlfriend being disgusted by the T-shirt I wore to her family dinner.

    New recordings on the “RECORDINGS” page.

    Nick Weckman’s arrangement of “Silence is the Question” is beautiful.

    The “Dracula” is actually “Nosferatu.” The video is a teaser of the full movie that we provided improvised music.

    The beautyofmyland video is from a few years ago. Hal and Al’s is a fun place for a video. (Weird gig I remember)
