Live at the Orpheum theater in downtown Los Angeles. September 4, 2009

“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.”

Fishing

The whole dozen only cost $1.25

They were fat and raised to die

The white foam cup was half dirt and half pink mush

They squirmed and lived their lives out

But little did they know,

They were just bait,

All I wanted was to catch a fish

I popped the top and the dirt trembled

Then I wiggled my fingers through the dirt

Grasping for a slippery, pink worm

As I slide him onto the hook

I saw him die

I'm so sorry little worm,

All I wanted was to catch a fish
