Imagine who you might bump into on the streets on the Upper West Side in New York City. This podcast “won’t let you down.”

You never know who's going to turn up in the stories on Elly McGuire's podcast, Shaking The Bushes—Yoko Ono, Jonas Salk, Richard Hatch (Richard Hatch?), even a former President, to name a few—as she shares humorous and often unpredictable autobiographical anecdotes and social commentary about living parallel lives in her "cozy" apartment in Manhattan and her childhood home in Warwick, Rhode Island.

Music by Tess Der Manouelian.

D.K. McKenzie—Warwick poet, pianist, and founder of The Poe Underground, a spoken word and music project—plays an original piano composition under his recording of Meeting at Night by Robert Browning and Honeymoon and an unnamed poem by D.K. McKenzie.

Meeting at Night

The grey sea and the long black land;

And the yellow half-moon large and low;

And the startled little waves that leap

In fiery ringlets from their sleep,

As I gain the cove with pushing prow,

And quench its speed i' the slushy sand.

Then a mile of warm sea-scented beach;

Three fields to cross till a farm appears;

A tap at the pane, the quick sharp scratch

And blue spurt of a lighted match,

And a voice less loud, thro' its joys and fears,

Than the two hearts beating each to each!

Honeymoon

A splash of rain as you dash for cover

into the maze

into the gauntlet of societies' (razor) blades

All of a sudden and suddenly

monstrous jealousy knocks loud

without warrant or justice

Jealousy arrives on time (early)

to mangle the moon's glorious radiance

A total and complete disruption of a honeymoon

(unnamed)

With poetry as in life you can say a lot using silence

The spaces that fill in time

the words that aren't spoken say much

truly speaking volumes

Silence can be a loud crack of thunder in reverse

a sucking, reversing, volume

that shifts the air

that is felt in the soul and in the heart

Silence can be a killer in fact

Sometimes when we are silent we are the ones doing the killing

Watch D.K. create his keyboard solos for Meeting at Night, Honeymoon, and his unnamed poem.
