Introductions
Head leaning down and my eyes closed
The cool wind blows in through the window.
Music playing and images of last night rush by
shifting speed with the temperature of my forehead.
Once in a while something slips in between
the words, images, and music exploding within my brain.
An old friend comes to me from the radio
taking me back to [...]
IS AEG BEHIND MICHAEL JACKSONS MURDER???
In an explosive report delivered last weekend by Fox News’s Geraldo Rivera…Rivera went well beyond implying that Michael Jackson’s concert promoter, AEG, had an interest in the King of Pop’s Death—he used context and comments by Michael Jackson’s mother, Katherine, to accuse AEG of having the man killed whose comeback tour they were promoting.

MOVIE REVIEW: IT MIGHT GET LOUD

A young face,
the glare of lights,

to chase away their nudity.
What has he solved
as he blows that prayer?
