about

"Historians should not report what they cannot verify through witness."

A response to a turn of the tides. The left hand wears the glove of the right. Internet hysteria gains sounding chamber crediblility. Urban myth echoes. Muggles misunderstand and shriek jargon. Artists kiss boots. Both sides are fools. History repeats.

Long may freedom reign.

lyrics

Shame and double shame
Move to the first-year step
like a line dancing trade

You were here
you were here you were here
and then,

disappears at night
the way reflection's change
without notice

You were here
you were here you were here
and then,
_____________

with a broad stroke
toss out the baby
let her lose to the sky

Let we placate
Give we calm
& freedom from ill-ease

But then the future moves
in haram or decay
the brittanica lost in the fire

Take your voice for granted
take your voice for granted
Tipper Gore sends her love

Not quite photographic
nothing nice nor nothing else
Not with a bang,
but a librarian hush
The cabinet was black
the game was siezure filled
Dead language on the list
growing in a cone of silence
Not with a bang,
but a librarian hush

Amidst the ever present sonics
Your kids are born dysphonic
I saw it with my own two eyes
I saw it with my own two eyes
