First in a while.

or; Poetic prose about a 65daysofstatic song.

from JoeUser Forums
Waves of static pulsate,
tides of white noise,
punctuated by the fleeting beats of washed-out drums,
slowly emerging from a neolithic paste of tribal dissonance,
coalescing into the friendly, familiar sounds of a heavy beat.

Simple piano melodies wash in with the white waves,
bringing in tow the guttural guitars,
fuzzed beyond recognition.

Point, counterpoint,
piano and guitar dance like lovers,
diametrically opposed, yet ultimately complementary.

The harrowing, haunting bass serves as a guide to this cacophonous pleasure,
weaving these conflicting threads together to make a tapestry of sound.



Music is born in this instant -
engendered, rather than by meticulous forethought,
but by a spontaneous eruption from unknown founts.

You obey way too easily, Zoo. Defy him, or his head will explode.

That was yet another "too smart for the Cedarbird" article. I have nothing insightful. No surprise there.

"Too smart"? There's nothing smart about it, my dear . . .

But thanks to the three of you for the read.

I'm bored...might as well obey someone.

Yep, this is pretty much how it happens for me.

I liked this. Might have to go listen to the music that inspired it too.

But come on, anyone but him! Why don't you vandalize public property; do something constructive rather than listen to this weirdo?

Wouldn't that be deconstructive?

Eh, SanCho seems a decent enough guy to me...and he doesn't fear the Spanish language.

¿Es verdad, SanCho?

Sorry, Zoo. I forgot to add the (I'm being sarcastic) parentheses to my comment. My apologies.

And I do NOT fear the Spanish language, I just hate not being able to understand what people are saying.


Nice poem, by the way. I really did like it. It was just a little too artistic for me.

My apologies.


I picked up on your sarcasm...I just like to play along in an equally sarcastic manner. It's my favorite form of humor.

Actually, I'm liking it more and more. You have real talent, there, buddy.
