Piece: "Baby Skunk Haiku" (text)

Premiered September 5, 2014 at the Resonant Bodies Festival
For solo voice and tape


Baby skunk haiku

keep a journal man
those neurons may not fire
the same way again 


some people like it
some people will not like it
whoopsies! und! tadaaaaa!


they may be cute now
they'll grow up big and stinky
baby skunks for you


there's a pill for that.
but what if I don't want it?
there's a pill for that. 


no time and no place
where people aren't full of shit.
slippery scenesters!


hand me a lemon,
I might stick it in the fridge,
eat it tomorrow. 


my biography
has a few pages in it
it might be fiction
