In honor of quite literally being declared an Anarchist by the current President of the "United" States because Seattle has been overrun by corruption at the hands of a craven and complicit city council, a mayor flailing at frottage atop our burning abodes, and rampant real estate compulsion suckling at the spurting pulses of their greed, I took two hours away from awaiting doom to rewrite a bit of history.

Cheers to Dumbageddon.

ANARCY IN SEA

Get out of my world!

I am an anti-Christ

I am an anarchist

Don't know what I want but I know how to get it

I want to destroy the tourists

'Cause I wanna be anarchy

No ICE

Anarchy for SEA

It's coming sometime and maybe today

I give a wrong time, stop a traffic line

Your future dream has been fucked

'Cause I want to be anarchy

Emerald City

How many ways to get what we want

While we’re quarantined and restless

We use Twitch Facebook and we Tweet

We use anarchy

'Cause we want to be anarchy

They told me It’s the only way to be

When you’re so fucking lazy

you can’t think for yourself

let your bent-over city council decide or else.

Is this ANTIFA?

Or is this the SCC?

Or is this the SPD?

I can’t tell the difference between the three.

Another city fucked by kakistocracy.

CHOP CHOP CHOP

Off the head of common sense

CHOP CHOP CHOP

In the name of violence

CHOP CHOP CHOP

Off the head of common sense

CHOP CHOP CHOP

Until it’s silenced.

I want to be ANTI-

EVERYTHING

What a joke we’ve made of Democracy

And I want to be ANTI-

EVERYTHING

Say it with me - Fuck this fallacy!

What in the world.

The Look by Tomorrow's Man

Annual Tomorrow's Man Pride song, this one an old favorite. Enjoy, peace, cheers, be well, be free, take Pride.

When it's somewhere between 0 and 20 degrees and I'm in tatters and shorts, this is the occurrence to expect. Without doubt and to the surprise of no one, while in Wales I'd planned to record myself reading something for a Road Tone that is arguably the most historically famous villanelle in [Goth] history; though the "arguably" 1st/2nd goes to Sylvia Plath [if you don't know by now to what I'm referring you already gave up on art and life], this is 1st/2nd as well/also.

Live cover of the 80s infectiously MOR-goth-pop hit by Gino Vannelli.

Live from the Chopping Block , 2003, honoring Buk's 98th, and if you know why, you know why.

Storms seem to write poems.

The rain claims predetermination;

Down, down.

I sit, I think,

Smell petrichor,

Precipitate,

I see:

You in the clouds,

Coming down.

Inspired by 17 years of being called queer, faggot, etc. before finally moving out of my family home; by the Wachowskis; by Walt Whitman; by my blush crush on Jamie Clayton; and by those of the Fifth Epiphany -- the Family of Friends I've embraced since realizing the world is so much greater and grander when irrational fear and intolerance are dissipated like so much echo on the wind.
