lyrics

March 2019

I reread my poem from January and it doesn’t hurt anymore
It felt like reading something old, encased in glass you aren’t allowed to touch
Like a museum visit

Once I stood in front of the Dexter Street Baptist Church where Dr. King preached in Montgomery and tried really, really hard to make a meaningful memory.
I relaxed my body to hazard a meditative stare
Deep breaths
But all I could do was stand
And know
The feeling never came.
Perhaps the lesson was in the mundanity.

I broke veg and ate half a rack of meaty, center-cut ribs after we left the church.
At the next rest stop I walked like I was underwater
Rib speed
My body struggling for every muscle twitch, every joint bent
I embodied the heaviness I couldn’t feel
By the next rest stop that heaviness was gone too.

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.
