When I think about being in the world
About the loss, about the discovery, about the mundanity, about warm days, about coffee, and gin, and 8-ball pool, and loss, and loss, and fear, and 9-ball pool, and gin cocktails, about work stress, and caring a lot about the quality of food, and being a body in the world vs. having a body in the world, about a challenging book I just read, or a terrible thing a stranger just said, or space, or 10-ball pool, or the improbably gorgeous water of Walden Pond, or kicking back at a shore bar, or biking in the winter, bundled-up and soaked-through and stegosaurus-backed with kicked-up salt crystals and city grime,
I realize I am thinking of you
And I deny it
And I deny it
And I realize it again
And it breaks me
Like a fresh rack
Like knocking ivories
Cue ball coming in steep, from the long rail
Three finger V-bridge from the cushion
Zachy-style
Perfect strike
Perfect contact
And I scatter
And I’m not anymore
But component parts
And kinetic energy
Potted, piece by piece, till death or cleared felt
Perhaps
Or if not, racked fresh again
And I return to my thoughts, about being
And about being in the world
And about being with, in the world
And am relieved to know
It is okay
Because you
Are here
In the world
Too

When you see my posture
You roll your shoulders back
And get yourself right
It's political music, whatever. Based in Boston, MA. Absolutely willing to drive very far to play for you and five of your vaguely alternative friends in your combination kitchen/laundry room. Hit me up. I'm fully serious.
