about

It seemed that there was
nothing more except more
of the same
and then
the act of seeking
in the absence of
tangibly satisfied desire
electrified
our love of flickers and embers.
image Wildfire
piled one atop of the other
like disasters on the evening news.
this night
at this unprecedented juncture
we become something more
and we go there
together.

lyrics

Oh Alex I’m in double jeopardy
Oh I’m sorry
Yah I’m so sorry
That’s incorrect
I’ll take finders and keepers
For one hundred
What am I
What am I
Doing here

Had my hand right on the buzzer
But I’m just too hesitant
Guess I’ll just keep switchin channels
Till I find that precious gem

Kerry Brown
Won’t you
Come on down
You’re the next contestant
You’re the next contestant
Give Bob a kiss
I tried to guess the highest
Without going over
They yelled guess higher
So I guessed higher
But it’s lower

But I don’t leave empty handed
The home version I get to keep
Guess I’ll just keep switchin channels
Till I find that precious gem
