A bit of a "second show curse" with this band, I really dug them last year and this time, meh. When I don't have much to say about a show I have to get obtuse and meta to crap out a haiku. I'm not even sure what this means. I bet you five bucks it's about my sciatic nerve.
Cigarettes, silos
Red, painting by calculus
Blunt, hedging the band
I fell of the wagon again. And then I resolved again. It's my only creative writing, such as it is. So I have to keep at it, such as I am.

Hands, cupping our ears,
Tucking our whiskey away

Worn of doctored bands,
Taut behind our bloodshot eye
Medicinal end.
I fell off the wagon on this. But since it's the only poetry-ish writing I ever do, I thought I might climb back on for the hell of it. So I've resolved to memorialize every show with a haiku in 2007. The inauspicious debut is a one-word modification of the only haiku my date had ever written. How fitting.

This is show business.
Although underattended,
Overphotographed.

New material -
Unwrapped, unsoaked, unfaded -
Wasted, comes undone.

Monday and its wants,
We shell out money for gas,
Wit, and Bad Livers.

So Midwest, serving
Our collective elegy
