“If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.

-Henry David Thoreau, Walden or, Life in the Woods

Different Drummer - Black 47 - 1994

This was from Shea Stadium on Irish Night. I was there, I believe they played the Dodgers. Pretty cool to find this video.

All my feelings are different and this one is the most

Of all places here where women once retired from the men for fear of boring them

I am so bloody in my own bath of wild hairs that I couldn't possibly join you tonight for that colonial thing

Heroin or whore Babylon or Bethlehem

No matter what I'm followed by mosquitos

Flitting dicks who want me to teach them about themselves

But everything I know is contained in capsules of macha that break down in my bloodstream

And I wouldn't recommend it for the fairer sex who should buck up and study up on their condition

I used to feel sick for all my sloth but not anymore

In wanting to please I have sinned In leaning in I have sinned

In breaking in two I feel sin So

Vete ya A haircut and a hard cock is all I need

To govern a family My rod

cutting them down supplicant on the ground

For I was the first real white girl ever born in this country of flat skulls

That's why I'm so cocky with my staff

and my rule rock hard and inconsistent with my favor

The mouths of L'Age d'Or sucked well at my pre-war stockings before cocktail hour

Bells rang and trays of mosquitos were served with tarts

We hadn't meant to kill them with La Macha which includes but is not limited to:

a goddess religion unfaultering at the altar of shade an erotics of object-identification and compassion extending beyond the grave

My sister and I drank mournfully but afterwards we still danced all night

wearing quite literally bedazzled bustiers and veils of a dead boy's smoke

que mala after beating their macho dead in ultra-feminine swoops

How do they want us to think of them now our brothers haviing left so little charisma behind

on the internet to aggrandize

Such small mosquitos And though we are mourning we are still so macha

as we chip the thin teeth of traitors and huff the scent of babies and slap each other on the asses and father seven times and punish the bull with its own marbled horns

But though we're cocky we are still martyrs My sister says quita la macha and I'm like why

It's okay to make up slogans in the spirit of revolution and she's like ok but

after you systematically destroy machismo you must put his teeth to gnash at your engorged breasts for any sort of catagenesis to occur

and I'm like that could be hot But it isn't the new love conceived by and for macha

or is it? idk idk either i really dk

So we taught our brothers all these methods of cameo that they may take a small symbol of macha to wear around their necks to the part of culture where the money used to be kept

May they remember the strength of their mother's biceps as they show mercy to their fathers who are teleological

till the end of supremacy which is the beginning of macha

Kiss the black lips that feed you the corn hips that rock you and blight the prayers after you've said them

Santa Mala Madre de Mala ruega por nosotros pecadores ahora y en la ahora de nuestra muerte

Hand me my beads War without end Amén
