much more than just a pretext of mystery
a cold glint, steel, piercing antipathy
a crux cruising redefined
traveling perforated dotted line

one toward the window walking slow
to take the taste forgotten
one toward the shallow wading pool
a dip in it to the waist
one toward the soggy path
walking trudging sodden
one toward the channel changer thing
seen this one before
one toward the opened door
to go outside again
one toward the channel changer thing
seen this one before
one toward the opened door
to go outside again
(James Baldwin source text)
For nothing is fixed,
forever, forever, forever,
it is not fixed;
the earth is always shifting,
the light is always changing,
the sea does not cease to grind down rock.
Generations do not cease to be born,
and we are responsible to them
because we are the only witnesses they have.
The sea rises, the light fails,
lovers cling to each other,
and children cling to us.
The moment we cease to hold each other,
the moment we break faith with one another,
the sea engulfs us and the light goes out.

I can wear a mask
finally to my heart’s content
I’ve always sought a mask
and now it’s gained social consent
the activity of my viral breathe
will stay suppressed to my heart’s content
and I’m smiling under this
this mask on me is purely bliss

the two tour a detour
brought to the left across the nexus
a punched up dose in solar plexus
alighted and perching
individuals searching
wrestling binds of weaving spiders
free flight-footed feeding light
until the two again alight
on a branch
in a trench
on a bench
or a knoll
on a stroll
this feeling droll

A mind-blowing batch of jazz-informed hardcore exploding with drill-press riffing and throat-destroying howls. Really great!

go to album
Truly oddball pop from Sharif Ali combines smooth synths, groovy electric piano, and Karoke-style crooning into a strangely catchy whole.
