hurts like new shoes

It was either a pill or a piece of candy…
I didn't care. I ate it it and gawked at the forming clouds.
and immersed mself in the moving music
L7 and The Verve
So many stages.
I was hot in those boots.
I was lost in the moment.
It was Lallapalooza and the Smashing Pumpkins were giving
then they were giving the stage up to the Beastie Boys.
The dust danced between clouds of grass smoke
our parched mouths dreaming of afternoon mist tents
while mouthing our best Pauls Boutique
"Expanding the horizons
and expanding the parameters"
Everyone politely declined to notice the heat and smoke
as they smoked and heated for notice
the evening rolled into the night
uncomfort turned to anticipation
anticipation turned to excitement
we pushed
we pushed
towards the front
huddle and become
Lallapalooza was meant for us
our new generation
We were going to change the world
and the world was listening
to our music
at last.

"Todd, Todd are you listening?"

"Yes, Sorry, Gentlemen as I was saying. We can easily make your manufacturing goals with all the appropriate quality controls by fiscal Quarter Three."

This is Art?

This is art.
Well if it were, then I wouldn't be doing it
rules to live by
if I can do it
it's not art

So I tear out my sleeve and wear it on my heart
pinned with days and emoticons not yet created
the glue on laminated surface of my rock button

Hit the button

Rock!
