We've Spun Our Story

I want to write a song for you
But you’re the only one
who likes to hear me sing.
And my fingers strum all wrong.
You're the great songwriter
So how about a poem?

We've spun our story
Around so many seasons
Finding clear blue pools
In evergreen forests
Snowed-in in the sunshine
We've spun our story

We're not a patchwork quilt
Or a crocheted craft
There are holes in our art
Cause sometimes I spin
Too fast and there's a large tear
Where you dropped the thread

We've spun our story
We've cried, loved, and bled.
No, I don't see an end
Our story's still spinning.
Sew slow and stitch tight.
Only time will tell my friend.

Les Claypool 3/28/09


"Isn't it awfully nice
To live in a world

Where everything's exactly how it seems?

We live in a world
Where all you have to do

Is sit around and dream


About the things that make ya happy
The things that make ya smile

Lay back, relax

Apathy's back in style"

How do fonts inspire us to write differently?

You can look at a problem both ways;
but the crossing sign won't flash forever.

Time.
We spend it all so differently.
But its how we spend it that matters.
The ultimate capitalist gain,
and the holy bohemian pleasure.
