Everyone Dies in the End

If the dream’s dreaming,
dream harder. Dream inertia.
Feel dizzy waking.

Those Manic Seas
by Guest Haikuist Ron Rogers

Robot band member
Please tell me, where are you?
This band is alright.

Unobtainable
robot faces are always
most desirable.

Kisses

Beaches without sand,
maybe without rocks. Without
the sand, without rocks.

July 23 @ The Camel

Herro Sugar

Grunge era-we’re born!
Sound much older than we are.
We make you younger.

July 31 @ Strange Matter

Omega Boys

Willie Nelson hair,
shit! Sing. Crunch. Scream. That tie dye?
It totally works.

Ratmeat

Scrape the scab from knees
and kneel. Mick’s on vocals. Kneel
sarcastic. Throw shit.

Prisoner

I was fed to the
cubs. The mountain lioness
screamed, and so did I.

Beyond Pink

“Who needs good sound when
you can play fast, right?” Fuck all
your stereotypes.
