2/1/13:
Waiting room art sucks
the key to feeling better
think positively

I met Ray today
I didn't take my boots off
we talked about things

This guy's perception
he noticed when I wandered
eyes glazed but nodding

Are you for real, Ray?
Lars and the Real Girl homework
unicorn indeed

your dad's art is rad
but that last name makes me cringe
I'll just delete it

Bob Messing's birthday
record club meeting pot luck
let's hang out, okay?

Jack Vendetti

You spun through our town
a whiskey soaked tornado
Your songs are magic

Hey Jack Vendetti
You are an urban legend
We Tell your stories

There was this one time..
Music Man bolero tie
We all remember

Kicked out of our bars
they just don't get your humor
or maybe they do

RoRo's Record Club Haikus

(Swale - Direct Inbreds)
Ethereal noise
my guts feel pleasantly calm
bones shiver and shake.

Fuzzy fuzzy crunch
crunchy crunchy velvety
I want to pet you.

I'm under water
could this be what drugs sound like?
from within a womb?

(Brody Dalle - Diploid Love)
You are dressed in dreams
snakes writhing in my rib cage
red lips dipped in blonde
Voice thick and caustic
bring us to your underworld
harness my fuck you

(Sylvan Esso - Sylvan Esso)
Tiny big voices
it's a gentle dance party
dreamy open space

If Portishead and
Esthero and maybe Cat
Power had a child


(Heloise and the Savoir Faire - Diamond Dust)
My pelvis is hot
pressed in the interior
you're inside with me
Your candy voice licks
my dull heart surfaces through
and I dive in it

(Dengue Fever - Venus on Earth)
Maybe we're all hipstersor we're zombie mannequins
either way, we're friends

All over the map
party girl parker posey
missing my lover

(Roc Marciano - Reloaded)
Smooth like aged whiskey
Fresh like a dirty mouthed boy
Swimming in champagne

Hotdog Hamburger
Your voice is scratching my itch
beats soothe it all out

(Southern Cookin' - Self-titled)
It's been a shit week
A honey dipped rendezvous
licked my insides smooth

When you wrote these songs
in 1979
I was three years old

(Oblivians - Desperation)
Teeth clamp, hips wiggle
Somebody call the police
Rock and roll sexy

In a grunge bar
Tight shirts and double whiskeys
Sweaty, drunk, gritty

(The Muggs - Full Tilt)
thrown back someplace good
but my daddy don't live here
falling in full tilt

(Freddy Gibbs)
Hot day drink early
representin in summer
this is our soundtrack

no bullshit party
Gary Indiana beats
mutha fuckin gold

(Chelsea Wolfe - Apokalypsis)
At first it's scary
but if it's like when I dream
I can learn from this 

Ethereal voice
vibrates my inner ear drum
and then someone looms

(Guards - In Guards We Trust)

today we wished for

summertime to hurry up

maybe this will help

I can almost taste

when everything felt simple

but was it ever?

(Palma Violets 180)

This takes me back to 

A time when I wasn't here

it's not deja vu

(Adebisi Shank - This is the Second Album of a band called)

Eee! Eee! Eee! Eee! Eee!

Video game bing bing bing

comic book soundtrack

Popcorn in my brain

Anxiety attack me

Let's go make messes

(Police Teeth - Police Teeth)

Stomp stomp dance party

you're yelling, I'm listening

let's tear up the place

(FERGUS & GERONIMO - Funky was the State of Affairs)

Our shoulders shimmy

You say "No Parties," but dude -

You're picking my speed

Your day - shake it out

Whatever happened is gone

This pleases me, too

Throwback dance party

should we be smoking the weed?

let's all get haircuts

(MATH the band - Get real)

yell excitedly!!

I'm yelling excitedly!!

Yell Yell Yell, it's fun!!!

(The UV Race -Racism)

We need a stage cage

to take turns gogo dancing

do birds have secrets? 

it's like maybe if

Stooges, talking heads, and ween

made an Aussie babe

(Echo Lake - Wild Peace)

We All tilt our heads

and look up at the ceiling

this isn't shoe gaze

lazy honey heart

napping on summer sundays

tattoo this in me

then you got happy

played ring around the rosey

pockets full of gum

(Simon Joyner - Ghosts)

Deep in my gut well

We needed a whiskey break

to drown the dark place

More Open Topic Haikus.. from RoRo

You only need this
(to survive end times):
a tough unicorn

it seems scary but
sometimes people just break up
and things get better

friendships aren't static
you don't even like static
accept clarity.

RoRo's Open Topic Haikus

Traffic and work talk

drink wine drink wine drink drink drink

vacation with folks

Hey San Diego!

You've got good food and sunshine

big mouths and small clothes

Just the singer, eh?

Rip my guts for amusement

Go fuck yourself

PB and J burps

come from elderberry drink

and trashy peanuts

We wrote down feelings

Knayte wrote hate mail to Jerry

then we burned it down

Danny's Outsiders Haikus

i killed him pony
blood in the fountain again
he meant to beat me

honky tonk out there
as we discuss our escape
we might not make it

out in the country
people just people with love
switchblades stay locked there

newly blonde cracked glass
ponds and steeples, country dark
still we have our smokes

the gold came a spell
then dallas came and found us
yesterday ain't gone

blades and heaters are
two different things, rigth dally
i wanna be good

i saved more lives than
i killed before church took me
i love you pony

even dally cries?
our world turns upside down gold
this is what you get

caught up in the death
we have cake beer jeans smokes laughs
that's about it friend

good deal thanks cherry
best tits i seen on a soc girl
sorry bout bob, red

RoRo's SE Hinton Haikus: Rumble Fish

Rusty James White T
"Hey, you're crazy about me"
Lip curled up, brooding

Window pane rumble
Mickey Rourke is back in town
Motorcycle Boy

Brother, please forgive me
pour whiskey on my fight wounds
tell me your stories

It's all black and white
Rumble Fish are in color
but our lives are grey

He goes deaf sometimes
Our voices are in tunnels
What is he thinking?
