Lineman Discovery: I think it is time to talk about how I too am one of those people Who sees their future as being dead alongside a desolate highway Only to be found by a Wichita Lineman who was Checking the southern stretch to see if It withstood the strain of the snow He finds me there with my good intentions pulling out my hair follicles And my humanitarian disposition eating away at my eyes This me Disheveled, Disenfranchised And decaying in the elements This me Who has fallen into the unkind arms of comrades turned to the Russian horizon Where the real image of things is obscured by the heat from hot lies Rising off the highway This me Who wonders what my last breathing position will be Next to the overpass Will it be out of the rain? Will it be face down? What grade of gravel will support my left cheek And will my limbs look to be in an unnatural position as to shock the Wichita Lineman Still on the line, but thinking: “I don’t need this shit! Maybe I will just leave him there and let Highway Patrol clean-up.” This me Who still looks like a fresh-kill Whose retirement planning seems to be inadequate Which is too easy of a cheap-shot observation of a corpse in ill-fitting clothes Bearing the hallmarks of hypertension and a misanthropic disposition Now needs you more than wants you And This me Who wants you for all time Is now the embodiment of Bad choices And Weak will

about

This is comprised of two sets of recordings. The first was a live recording we made [Together] on March 3rd 2020, right before the COVID-19 lockdown here in Cleveland, OH. The second are ones we made [Apart] by recording and exchanging files, building on ideas until we had a track. Two very different creative processes for us in a short, stressful time.
