Recuerda

TEH SKETCHES ACROSS THE NIGHT WERE STARS GLARE UPON THE FOLKS THEY DANCE AND MAKE WORDS TO THOSE THEY WISH WERE NEARER THEY SING SONGS OF CONCERTED WORDINGS SONGS REHERSTED DAYS AND DAYS THERE MUSIC IS LIVE BY HORNS AND STRINGED INSTRUMENTS DRUMS ARE PERCUSSIONED ALONG WITH ELECTRIC BASS THE AUDENCIES SMILE AND CLAPPED TO THEY SINGERS OF THE NIGHT THAT TOMMORROW SOME OF THESE MOMENTS WILL BE ERASED does the evil God Recuerda, have thee not to recall the words, and the steps that had been choreographed. Does he curse the evening to cause us not to be perfect: yet must we pray him away. Like gullible people who give meat offerings to the dirt god of the woods. Do we nail meat to the doors and pray ye to leave us that we might reach perfection. Might the woodwinds sing him to sleep, so that the drums startle him and he shall run scared like unprotected sheep running from the wolves. The needs of those who wish perfection, and the will of those who demand perfection, might these prayer have us as close to perfection as we need be.
