i kissed my girlfriend goodnight and went off to sleep
four or five hours later she woke me up to get ready to to go monte rio
she’s gotta get up there early because our friend christine
has to be available in person for the comcast guy

the fires disconnected some wires and her internet went down
and there’s no cell service up there otherwisе
she took off and i fell back asleep for a few morе hours
before today’s session with maryam

i woke up with the morning light and the magnolia tree leaves
cast beautiful shadows on the curtains in my bay window
i watched them shimmer and move for a while

oh, it’s nice to be home
on this windy september morning
i had leftover pizza for breakfast

i’m sitting on the couch
studying some spanish vocabulary words

gonna finish a song today i don’t know what it’s gonna be called yet
maybe i’m gonna call it twitch
it’s got themes of gentrification and mental health
and some other cool notions
some of the founding fathers were racist
the papers say
a startling revelation i’m sure for some
many of us only know what we’re told

i remember in elementary school feeling creeped out
every time we stood at our desks as our patriotic national anthem
was sung and drilled into our heads
the words of an evil man who called black americans “a distinct and inferior race of people”

oh, it’s nice to be home
this windy september morning

maybe i’ll make some tea today
went to see john zorn with laurie anderson and terry riley the other day
brought my girlfriend to the show
she said it was quote-unquote “interesting”

i took a picture of the marquee outside with my cell phone
like sami said, it’s good to not forget how lucky we are
to live where we live and have venues like this
that host good music

that bring music for coach-lla girls dance to
and brings experimental music by a saxophone guy making all kinds of crazy hoots and blasts
john zorn played a single blast for like six minutes
i felt so lucky to see three incredible influences together in the same room on the same stage
oh, it’s nice to be home
this windy september morning

my single ticket to thurston moore is on my fridge for wednesday
maybe someday i too can collaborate with some
talented musicians
until then i’m going to keep taking pictures outside
with my old cameras and i’m gonna keep working
