consider crossing
by Allen M. WeberThe Waters
the bay bridge
at dawn you can
clear your breath
from the car window
behold the deadrise
impossibly white
scoured by half a sun
at dawn you can
clear your breath
from the car window
behold the deadrise
impossibly white
scoured by half a sun
become for a moment
the ruddy oysterman
when you come up empty
drunk on salty spray
console the cormorants
in the Guineamen tongue
grasp the slippery
heart pine of his tongs
a blunt December
ache in your hands
a flickering fear
of the sea
the ruddy oysterman
when you come up empty
drunk on salty spray
console the cormorants
in the Guineamen tongue
grasp the slippery
heart pine of his tongs
a blunt December
ache in your hands
a flickering fear
of the sea
back in your lane
nearer now the eastern shore
where pleasure boats
still sleep at their piers
sip your bitter
coffee with Yo Yo Ma
playing Mozart on the radio
nearer now the eastern shore
where pleasure boats
still sleep at their piers
sip your bitter
coffee with Yo Yo Ma
playing Mozart on the radio
Vivid, detailed and evocative reverie of crossing over one life to another. Each line and image builds and moves the poem forward to a neatly perfect ending. --R.T. Castleberry…Dyno Nobel Poems IBPC

A big movie for these times …
From DJ Mike 2600, a YouTube series called Songs That Sound The Same.
My hit series of DJ videos exploring pairs of songs that aren’t direct covers or rip-offs, but have similar melodies, riffs, or chord progressions and just fit together nicely.
Each video is about a minute long and features him playfully mixing two or more songs together that sound very similar. Here’s one of the early episodes, featuring Hot Fun in the Summertime by Sly & the Family Stone and Misunderstanding by Genesis
