Pick axe in hand Dynomite in his good eye.
He's the only one left of the callused kind.

Night Watch - For Rembrandt

My kinsmen and I —company on this night watch
On a newly roused African night.
We filch a little bit of the effulgence of the waking moon,

silencio

...When I’m not tapped into a music stream.

I like quiet
