I embrace emerging experience.
I participate in discovery.
I am a butterfly.
I am not a butterfly collector
– William Stafford

I have been screamed at many times for just doing my job.
I am a butterfly.
There is a limitless supply of me inside myself
I am not a butterfly collector.
While seated at the kitchen table I finally understood you.
I am a butterfly.
Toenails appear to have stopped growing.

I am not a butterfly collector.
The doctor says jerk it every day
I am a butterfly.
Look another rabbit.
I am not a butterfly collector.
I am so tired but what choice do I have.
I am a butterfly.
Arthritis in my left middle finger.
I am not a butterfly collector.
It is love. Is it addiction? Is there a difference?
I am a butterfly
As long as I can still play guitar.
I am not a butterfly collector.

Springing forth from the hinterlands of Cincinnati, OH are Wussy, an American five-piece fronted by songwriters Chuck Cleaver and Lisa Walker and backed by Mark Messerly, Joe Klug and John Erhardt. Bridging the gap between The Band and Sonic Youth, Wussy continue in the tradition of bands with multiple writers and singers. Cleaver and Walker offer radically different perspectives, both lyrically and vocally, that blend in seamless fashion – usually blanketed inside layers of noise. The band typically plays loud rock and roll heavily influenced by late 60′s pop and psychedelica, as well as seminal 70′s songwriters from John Cale to John Prine.
