waterfront 8x10

hello... i've been
gone again, haven't
i? well to
not fret over
my void, i'm
here to chat...
each "show" we
play allows us
to get stronger.
mixing up set
lists... playing songs
we haven't rehearsed
these are good
things. for certain.
last night played
new jordan on
banjo with harmonica
long time since
that has been
attempted for sure.
acetone with baritone
look out! people
clapped, people took
pictures... people danced
my in-laws were
satisfied and i
felt good about
what we had
done... didn't even
play all the
songs
on the set
list. how about
that.

joe squared

it doesn't take
much to be
nice. it doesn't
take much at
all. thanks to
everyone who
came out...
tim heaney took
pictures...
here are some...

awake in the forest

mind numbed tunes
practical bird song
tear away runes
and bottle wrongs

moon to earth
magnet poles orbit
strayed into dirt
transformed from myth

long way under
beneath tidal seas
barely blue hunger
rattled by degrees

skip rope words
played under ladder
children laughed verse
later than rather

succulent nebraska

emerging from mucus
haze drifted away
cleared head lifting
the bug vanquished
throat soothed renewed
passion's pilot light
lit open primed
melodies plans lists
who is the
best unsigned band?
who is the
best judge of
the best of
the fighting and
swinging and hopeful
and desperate and
sad and underrated
and lonely and
busy and unawares.
