beneath the waterflow asleep but fully clothed I'll send the butcher to the honey-day parade on Main when all is quiet and numb on the Mental front whom do you contact for your namesake object when you're staring at the back of your head looking down from above at your mind below and I ask myself, "where did I go?" when you're staring at the back of your head

I was trying to step outside but something was awry as I put one foot down the other was left behind stop this I said::: you must go on to greener pastures::: so I strapped on my rust-colored belt and I felt, oh how I felt. Action! I better think before I can feel::: I must get a handle on the not-yet-tangible before the ethereal produces the material::: just, get outside, I thought so I opened the door and I gave myself to the light:::

don't worry about the weather it'll change whether you like it or not it's a matter of common courtesy to expect that what you bet comes back to you Stop making excuses for your ____ contemplation of potential situations they will pass regardless of what you ask stop making excuses for your own institutions excessive electricity to concede toward the end of the day from now and another 25, i'll play pieces of life across a jagged mountain range, a lake reflects the sky two worlds apart, but in each other we owe it to ourselves to stay awake tonight

Taking names, drawing numbers from a hat Moving this way, and going toward that High above the tree line, but darker than the dirt For what it's worth, it was worth everything But now I'm spent That's where you'll find me, that's where I'll be At the bottom of the sky That's where the earth lies At the bottom of the sky Its in your skin tone, its in your chromosomes its in your ribcage, passed through a warm embrace its in the emptiness, of the endlessness of the everything left to guess

about every so often i go down I stick my knees into the life clasp hands on a pew of wooden pine I still can't feel the open light I know it, I know it about every time that I go I go and I get on my knees to pray from now and a hundred years I hope that everything is the same I can't stand it, I can't stand it anymore than you can 29 dollops in my eardrops down on the porcupine tops I know sometimes the fishing comes, and sometimes you go back to bed

I'm wide awake the sun has blossomed in the sky the wind has died down irregularity brings possibility the punks became passionate sweatshop workers become skilled style will be obsolete in this new order world hypercritical answers denounce insensitive tests invent a new way to say hello again in this new order world

I started sleeping in the stairwell of an older time Two flights of stories more fleeting as I gather up the days gone by So buck up young soldier don't cower under the weight of time Embrace your fate, not the tempo, attempt to syncopate It was all right, by a landslide (we were not ready to go) From our vantage point, it was fine (we were not ready to go) Noted all there was to say Be wary of all these things you can't describe these things that cling to you More than ordinary is what everyone thinks that they are So open wide to see eye to eye to those that dont sync to you Publish the words that press upon the cogs of time It was all right, by a landslide (we were not ready to go) From our vantage point, it was fine (we were not ready to go) Noted all there was to say 26 years under the purple pumpkin sky with nothing left to do but carve out your own slice when there is nothing left under the purple pumpkin sky there's nothing left to do but die

honey pie, in the light of your mind I wondered down that path many times myself through an orchard of your mind and the you're running home killing time along the way but why, oh why that question all the time because a righteous overflows from your pores beneath your wardrobe the veil under your face is finally fading through an orchard of your mind and then your running home killing time along the way

it was 1984 when I was first conceived and I became a blueprint you see, in order to become you must first be thought my parents were still in the red house and they just created their first baby, a daughter they sought harmonal balance and a vessel to continue the family name and wouldn't you beleive it, but I worked and the bellows sent a new sound out over the ground the organs played themselves the mind kept time and my feet the beat and after a while the soul took control and I became one with my own home We are all delicate fleshlings small intricate systems of heat I will try to create you string wood and a piece of meat I'll push my hands into your sockets make a watermelon for your mouth wrap a ruler around a bike seat femur conjoins a waist inside::: within::: without heart we do not survive its like::: as if::: we were made to exist::: coexist

about

Hums + Haws Chicago, Illinois

Basement mining for sonic gold: a trashy sound polishes the one beside it.

I captured all the sounds I could and put them into a Tascam 58 tape machine. I sent waves flying into the air:::

I also play in House Sounds
