about

Do we rise or fall in that first encounter when electricity leaps out of your heart like a sparkler, caution to the wind? Probably both. Followed by all predictable patterns of who loves whom or does not. The torture of the imbalanced. Rimbaud/Verlaine: the classic blueprint for many fire starters in my life. Moth to roman candle over and over again. The fool rushes in.

lyrics

I THINK I’M FALLIN’

i think i
i think i
i think I’m falling
again

i always go
for the Rimbaud kid
w the disturbed hair
& a cane
fearless &
challenging
everything in sight
who i am
& who I ain’t
why i always chase
what’s in the box i lock

i think i
i think i
i think I’m falling
again

all i did was
shake his hand just once
& he smiled like he’s
ready to run
like an alley cat
in a dirty french quarter
i was out of order
mr chairman
i was out of order
& jumping again

nothing in life is worth
doing i guess
unless it can break your heart
tear you apart
turn you upside down
run you outa town
r forsake you
