Show Poem: October 19, 2016 Baltimore, MD @ Windup Space #poetry 

I will always be here
Like or dark
Extra crispy or original recipe

Car pool bridge and tunnel syndrome
Channel number one, two, three, four
The sounds of a drill next door
Battery acid and breathing trailers
Servicing all makes and models
Redirecting car stress
Into pointless scolding

The blue sky is always there
Like a table cloth on Thanksgiving
I’m sorry we don’t serve angels here
Only fallen stars and cameleons
With good attitudes
The hash is runny and the eggs are hard
But the company is second to none

The thick air is what we all come here for
It doesn’t translate over YouTube

Moths are free but butterflies are expensive
No one thought to build a better rainbow

We drive straight into the sun for hours
It never gets worse
Until things get bent
And somehow get better

Show Poem: October 17, 2016 Brooklyn, NY @ Shea Stadium  #poetry 

Mysterious bones in the hallway

Waking up to an ET
Dancing on my chest
Healthy smells and sounds
Grinding metal
Slapping hamsteaks
Good morning City
I miss you like a dirty knee

Picking pieces of you
Out of my hair
Burping up last nights real salad

After 46 years I finally learned
The proper way to roll up my sleeves

Minimal food wastage
Maximum network potential

The last place for people to gather
Leaves and dog droppings
So much beauty to be found
All the squirrels are shutting down.

The longer I’m away
The more familiar things are
Sardines on a cracker
Joe Strummer on a wall

We sit and watch the beautiful people
Catching air

People are more beautiful
Amongst people

We are beautiful because we are not
Dogs
Dogs are beautiful but not like
People
You people are beautiful people
Like people
I love that

Show Poem: October 16, 2016 Beacon, NY @ Beacon Music Factory #poetry 


If there’s going to be an apocalypse
I’ll need my robe and slippers

Mushroom sheets and
Candy stripe sheets
Cutting up the boxes
Watching the heads fall

Dust mask after shave
Taxidermy needle point
Lightening fixtures
Rolling thunder papers
Your windshield on my mind

A school, a church, a bar, a field
I hear music
Wood grain dimly lit
Squirrel in a scarf
Sexy older people

Fish hooka
Elephant flowers
Disco ball missle toe
Dancing in the isles

Take a breath
Hold on to your hat
And let your feet fly
