lyrics

Still thinking Your stars are sinking You’re a kind of bottomless abyss shark fin and cat hiss There’s nothing left to hate its all said and done Deciding what’s the weight to carry on and on Send me up there Dust and scratches into thin air revolving like a pirouette exploding past the living dead A bridge burned out too far The past is just a dream What hasn’t formed is far more pure than pure Say nothing, its better than fumbling for the perfect phrase To explain in the logic of loving when I say the cruel things I say.

Identity (Song-a-Day, day 2: July 6, 2023) 02:03
lyrics

I’m certainly not saying that you can know yourself but its a fact that everyday there’s stacked up more evidence Start from the principle that blind or knowing will drags us along, a pull that tears us, so terrible It could be a stream or a flood, whichever you are you’ll find in the mud a diamond so bright, polish it’s gone I met a dog who learned to speak And she never asked me, “Why do I chase the cat?” Only that, “I want to.” I go for walk pondering this and eyes in the stars I fall in a ditch (Tha les)s introspecting the more I dig my grave. So taking into full account all the facts that you can’t doubt the signs, they surely point to no one else.

Politic (Song-a-Day, day 4: July 8, 2023) 02:02
lyrics

I turned a page today and found a new way to meet my fellow citizens You’d think I read some deep philosophy about the rights of men. But isn’t it just common sense to make a kind of recompense. Its politic to say you want it politic to shout them down politic to wear a green shirt politic to wreck the town. Cram enough ants in a jar agitate like a dying star point that missile at the sun isn’t it a common tongue Its politic to scream in one voice politic to say you love me politic there’s never a choice politic to say you’re free.

about

Monumental Folly image

Monumental Folly Atlanta, Georgia

Monumental Folly rather speaks for itself, yes? Monumental Folly also embraces a sheer willingness to leave things rough at the edges and to carry through improvisation from start to an often much-attenuated finish. Also singing, for which I apologize.
