lyrics

The piano player
is getting bitchy. First it’s: the fan not on; what, no one knows it’s summer? Then it’s: the cables tangled at his feet. Now it’s: the rain coming in and the peoples’ scattered umbrellas, the swishing and the dropping of them at the open door-- and they just leave them there, they just leave them there, looking like a gaggle of dead storks. Newcomers, bathroom seekers—they disquiet him. And what’s a piano for? Mood. And: More than just that. And not just: that, either.

It’s transformation he’s after, a perpetual altering-of.
Monkey to Man, anyone?

We can intuit vagaries of hotel lobbies & EST: the piano player who believes in war, hunched under his chicken-winged shoulders like an old, hungry and cold poet in his nightshirt, up in the candlelit attic, creating in spite of his airborne pissiness.

He’s trained in the knowledge that knowledge is to be latched into a hold, suspended, and dropped to kill on position. This is his silence, his thinnest skin, this is his silence.
