Lot's Wife Second Guesses

Not one of them knew the color of her smile. 
Their eyes stared level, fastening upon the inevitability of the day. 
The rushing approach of darkness and the glorious mortal weakness of sleep. Who could ask children to know the fine porcelain of her cheek or the anticipated thrill of her lips?

Just as the sand shifts beneath the rolling tracks of an armored personnel carrier, the minutes drip through the hourglass and we all wake with revised expectation and heavily edited, lackluster laundry-lists of realizable daily tasks.

You could check out at anytime you wish. 
You could throw your trousers in a sack, grab some greasepaint, & hit the open road. 
This is what killed Kerouac, inevitability. It wasn't the road. All the intrigues, adventures, romances, late nights, early dawnings,... ad nauseam 
weren't the culprit of his demise. 
Same as Cobain & Elvis. 
Our eyes are opened wide before they slam shut. 
The hardest thing is to unsee. 
It's harder to unknow. 
The joy and the speed and the whirl of this life. 
Tossed from coast to coast or halfway around the world. 
We've woke up in so many beds, looked through all the windows, dove deep into the highest resolution,... How could we go back? 
To being simple and naturally occurring 
or remotely naive

Play Your ElectroMuse Clip

Lingering Over the strings The tree streams Butterfly wing beats Glitched out pnmemonics  Flood hydraulic streets "Hey, man! You should post a tutorial On how to be a human." Or something justfiably arcane Ah,... The vibes On the opening of 'Three Little Words' Do you remember? The experiment  Where we installed  non-standardized Object  into a standardized slot? The monkies lost their minds The lab rats we're in disarray The code bugs couldn't find a pattern  complete and utter chaos!   And still the protesters protested The bureaucrats hid beneath  mountainous Avalanches of bureaucracy Lawmakers over-played their hand All the oil barons went bankrupt The Magi approach With a perfectly constructed bassline Before Finally  Exit-ing From an alternative                  port of departure

Wet Spring Morning Electric Piano

it was the morning of the spring. As unpredictable as the weather patterns  of the Mid-Atlantic could be,  during this season, they would be this morning. What kind of southern hound, who enjoys the growl of rubber and asphalt, could stop himself from jumping in his car  and taking in the music of wet asphalt and breaking clouds?  Not i, gentle sleeper, not i. To let all the joy and misery of reality wheel about you,  while the eye speeds past the clumping Wisteria,  this must be what Morning from Peer Gynt is all about. The lilt of the flutes  while the k9 task force SUV is situated in a hiding spot  down the stretch of Old Statesville Road  between Oak Drive and Gibbon Road.  Of course he would give you a ticket  if you accelerate to pass the crusty eyed drivers  with no love for the visual paradise being offered. The mornings of spring are quite different from any other season....
