AAAAAAAHHH. It feels good to be working full-time again. A&B is WAY too much fun.

On a related note, I've rediscovered a whole whack of music from my early-high school, I'm too broke to afford CD's era of good ol' fashioned, old skool tapes. It has rekindled my love of WEEN, The Cramps, The Violent Femmes, early Radiohead (Pablo Honey), The Ramones, The Melvins, early Flaming Lips, etc., etc. I still can't figure out what happened to my old Mazzy Star tape though....

RED GROOVE

In a climactic contraction
of emotional perfection
the messy, bloody,
"yes"
bursts from every pore
Yes!
I can give a little more

The glass jaw strains
to crush its own teeth
and wine
drips from the stone
and I shudder "hallelujah"
from the bone
each fiberoptic finger
bursting with sound
and light
and love
and sex
is rolling off my fuzzy tongue
Yes.

I'm home,
craddled in this frothy crimson foam.
