Relief

if relief feels so good
is it still worth the pain?

since pain is rarely a permanent memory
does relief need pain?

i wonder

No Modicum of Decorum

Time to ride the cyclone
No papers
No fire
No plumbing
The hydrocoaster is getting rocky
And all traumas are fin

Descent into the arts
Gets harder each time
Like the journey into junkydom; again
Look in the withins and doing withouts

Hey, look at the cool kids
Turning ping-pong into table tennis
And enjoying the causal Friday
Yes, I miss my girls

Again, It's Time

It's not that I take life lightly, I don't
But, I've found it really hard to take myself too seriously
Life is a series of one-act plays

I find it hard to be myself
While always being myself
Or, at least, knowing what myself is

By goal or by plan, I work very hard at avoiding cliche and stereotype
While working equally hard to make it appear
As-if it's the easiest thing in the world

As natural as the beating heart
As theoretical as existence itself

"A series of incidents have created your present reality."

There's a Light

What's important to know about my music - and I hesitate to call it music, how 'bout "recordings" - is that it is a pretty clear reflection on my psyche. My cognitions. Even when I produce, my contributions make things sound how I need to hear them.

I think this trend will continue until I am completely insane and these recordings become meaningless to everyone except for me.

How to get Alberto to the highest court:

Step 1: Get ultra conservatives to immediately claim he's too liberal and "not in the same vein as true conservatives"

Step 2: Get pal, the president, to slap hands of the not-conservative-enough crowd, "he's a good man"

Step 3: Nominate him as terrific Hispanic pioneer (don't mention Geneva Convention as quaint stuff)

Step 4: Grab a beer and watch as democrats love him up as not-as-liberal as once considered because, if the conservatives don't like then gee, he must be good, after all.
