First Post.

So here's my first post on what will become something between a lyrics pad and just stream of consciousness check-ups with Dr. Me. I considered a tumblr for such a thing, but they get so confusing because they allow a lot of stream, too much. I'm not as saavy as I pretend to be with such things and tumblrs get me all crossed up chronologically. Take the Cardinals', for example. Alas.

Here's something I started tonight. Praise Jeebus for editions.

May need a little strum to breathe
To get sleep, to take it with me
From the other-other room, your sigh
From lungs where the melodies rise

To sing, to bring you your dreams
By train tracks, flowers to the knee

Rail ties lie under memories
Dust in the cuffs, in your jeans
From the running in pockets, a start
From the day with the music apart

To sing, to sing you your dreams
Wisdom, two stitches on seams

For modesty as Maginot lines
Dear prudence there, keeping time
From us the lonewolf blitzers
From lust the Pyrrhic victor

To sing, to sing you your dreams
Pride, artillery and me
