and it’s only late evening here
but there’s always a spin from the other side
and a drunk yelling
always makes sense
to the ears of the room
it’s gonna be a close one
it’s going to take a while to figure out what we’ve said
what did we expect?
when we’ve fed the projections
and the polls
gone to the booths split
spilt
letting another typo decide the fate of the nation
and i’ve left myself these dreams
and I waste one a night
it’s sweet background music for wasted plans
but they’ve taken a backseat
to dented cans
staring at me from the kitchen counter
what i’ve allowed myself
only what is required
they’re different versions
of different thoughts
the live one backspaced over
fixed
there’s always one more voice than I counted on
it’s nothing more than fiction
dying before the polls close
the question of leadership
hangs in the air with
all of the openings and closings
who knows anymore
anyway
two young men by a dying man’s bed
keeping him breathing until his vote counts
it’s gonna be a close one

With all the crazy stuff we have going on leading up to the pub of What a Future we found ourselves extremely behind on the Audio Saturdays front. So we reached out to musician-in-residence La Sudar and asked them if they had anything they could share to help out. Here’s what they said:
funny you ask because i was just going through some of the archives today and found a three song EP called “erf” from 2011 that as far as i know, i never released or promoted in any way. not only that i have no memory of ever recording it. so you can have it.
all the best, l.s.

thank goodness! as a matter of fact we do have something big brewing on the audio front, and three weeks should buy us enough time to put it together. thanks buddy!
here’s the first track, simply called ‘erf one’:

i waited and waited
for some word to come
but none came
the new ways
the new ways have aged
and are on the way out
Dry mouth, too many smoothies not enough veggies, you know what I mean
I’m excited to announce the release of my first book in many years, What a Future. It’s a collection of poems written in Spring 2020 as pandemic and lockdown descended on NYC. You can buy it now at the STORE.

reveals coffee stains
if we saw ourselves trudging
i think we’d want to know
