Qua, Qua, Qua


Qua, Qua, Qua

-- Today everybody is thinking.
-- Ah, Lucky.
-- Don’t you mean luckily?
-- No, not at all. We think like Lucky. And out loud too. Very loud.
-- What?
-- Never mind…
-- That was a great album.
-- Yes it was. Puncher and Wattmann.
-- I thought it was Cobain and Grohl.
-- It was—Quaquaquaqua…

Into The Abyss


Into The Abyss

What may come?
They won’t be dreams.

Waking from a spring hibernation
To a summer of…

At least it won’t be the same.

Those hibernation dreams
            Some were nightmares
                        Of true horrors, that none of us actually saw
            Some were escapism
            Some were hopeful
            Some were dystopian, but we smiled
And now we walk out
            Some like a kid to the first day of school
            Some wishing they weren’t, or didn’t have to
            Some like zombies, already dead
            Some will never return
Most will—Again and again and again
            Into that abyss
            The habit of life
Habits of hope
            Habits of despair
                        All so hard to break
