Let the Album Spin (please)



let the album spin -

from beginning to end 


the first groove... 

ample anticipation 

the gain and distortion fill the time 

until the sweet note comes 


I found myself amongst the cloud of static and grain

unknowing of the joy that would arrive 


she is that pure sweet note 

the one that fills the world with joy 


the grooves sing her words and chant her name 

what beautiful charm her song brings me ! 


I am but a pin—

a needle lost in the hay, 

with no reason or way 


To shake and twirl in her grooves 

is my mission 


to be the medium for her desire is the sole condition


her music is like no other 

the notes dance, laugh, and cry

I cannot help but ponder 


we were lost in the white noise 

that build-up, sans direction


after, the needle found the groove

I preach and belt out 

all the little things that she does


the happiest vibrations 

her sweet song gives me purpose 


spinning and skipping but never losing our timing


my silence for her song 

what a beautiful trade!


of all the things in this world, 

I cannot imagine being anything else 

but the turntable 

for her divine record 


let the album spin my love, 

and don’t lift a finger !

Por Ella

 she makes me feel like i’m the only person ever


i take my time and write her silly little poems


so she can take my hand and glance at them and smile until her eyes start to squint 


she’s the type of person that makes you want to remember them



by that i mean 


you never want to forget them

La Canela

 cuando miro a tus ojos dulces


me haces olvidar mis responsabilidades 

mi persona 

mi conjunto 

solo yo

solo mis palabras y dichos 


después de tanto ensayo 


todavía no logro salir de tu aura

One more (2009)

 i can’t believe it’s new years 

spending the whole day wallowing in my tears 

thinking of the reality of all my fears 

knowing that they will appear 

and the things i hold on to will disappear

I Need You to Know

you need to know that i will be
what you want

but

i wish i could be
what you deserve

From Far Better Places

where is the place to party - ?

can I come over and say sorry -?


i am not what you want me to be 

i’m so many things you will never see 

the places I’ve been are long gone


from a planet .

in a different existence .


like the beginning of my sentence 

i am changed 


never to be the same 

why is everything a game


mind and body 

what a naive connection - .

The Tab

 Horny Shell // THANK YOU COME AGAIN! 

~

Longing (standard)


Loneliness (refilled)


Commitment (conditional)


Connection (additional)


Emotion (add-on)


Expectations (included)


Rules (arbitrary)


….


where does the receipt end?

where is the cutoff for one to pay the bill? 

no one wants to be the one left with the tab

it always goes one way or another 

bills are split and we share the damage

or

one bites the bullet for the other 


all good things must come to an end

why?

do we lose a sense of our bond?

do we forget ourselves? 

is the puppy love over?


why am i paying the tab?

did i order to much?

too little?

not the right things?

didn’t complain and fix your order when i needed to?

never asked to try some of mine?

talked too much?

talked  little?


oh i know.

i made the reservation

i paid ahead of time

not just this time

i don’t know another way


fast food?

why?

takeout?

no way.


sensations are strong

not like the port we drank

the grainy taste of lamb

can’t escape it

where it moves the other chases


two in the same? 

no

same coin?

no

of the same pair?

no but yes


where emotions lead the danger soon begins

cause and effect 

tortoise and the hare 

at the end of the tab it’s always disappointment


the final look of regret 

reading the long order history 

was it worth it?

doesn’t matter


the total doesn’t change

what’s charged is charged


realization is the only cope 

why’d you spend so much?

it was fun in the moment 

is it fun in this moment?

not anymore 


that’s the hare 

slowly and steadily it catches up

there when you least expect it

there when you convinced yourself the whole time it was worth it


so foolish

so so clumsy 

silly 

childish…..


puppy to wolf

hare till the end


gratuity allows experience 

did you learn?

yes

what?

im making my own meals now
