Secret Thought

I cracked open a book to write down a secret thought
but I was not alone enough
Found a quiet corner in the basement
but still I needed more privacy
I turned off the lights and sat in the dark
Mentally whispering it to myself
but I stopped mid-sentence
unsure if I wanted to know what I was going to say
I didn't have enough courage yesterday

I think it's interesting that our body/brain knows things that we don't.  Like when we have an infection, our body is busy fighting it off and we don't really know what's going on.  I wanted to investigate the idea of secrets that we keep from ourselves.  I have secrets that I'm too scared to write down in my journal because I think that makes things final or something.  Sometimes things are final way before we are ready to admit it to ourselves.  I share a lot of personal thoughts on this blog.  Hopefully I've encrypted them enough so that I won't regret my "openness" in the future.  Peace out.

The Band

I cut the chord



and let the silence fill the room
I raise my arm and count down from four
three
two
the drummer hits the crash
and we're into the thick of it again
rhythm riding through the crowd
with the tapping of toes and clapping of hands
I turn around and acknowledge the band

Haven't played in front of people for ages.  I kinda miss it... even though this piece is not how my sets are like.  Haha.  Peace out.

Wrong Again

I won't quote the famous phrase that contains "absence" and "fonder"
I wander and wonder
Did your mother forbid you to talk to me
Or is that just a lie I choose to believe?
Maybe your friends warned that I was trouble
Your feelings expanding like the skin of a bubble
Growing too fast and inevitably bursting
I, on the other hand, hide in the corner of my mind
Next to the few remaining lines of memorized Teddy Ruxpin songs
And my silly crush on Sailor Mars
I carried an umbrella today expecting rain
That never came
Wrong again

I like a lot of ideas that I threw in this piece but I'm not entirely in love with it as a whole.  Hide yo wives. Hide yo daughters.  Seriously.  Peace out.

Head Banger

I banged my head and thought of you
trying to remember something new

Short and sweet today.  I was thinking of memory again today.  Numerous scientific studies have shown that our memories are not that great at remembering details.  Just consider how many times people are misidentified in police lineups.  Memories are just chemicals stored in our brains and the way our neurons are connected.  What if you could cause brain damage and remember more fondly?  I dunno.  Peace out.
