about

With "DEPENDENT IV," I was excited to see how I could build different beats around a draggy 7/8 time signature and a monotonous (but hopefully catchy) melody. I like to think this was a success.

lyrics

DEPENDENT IV

and I take my boxer for a walk.
She barks. A stray cat catnaps
on layers
of archetypes: she is balled up
on a discarded carpet
pad, rolled and laid on top
of a vertical box
spring and mattress, resting
next to “J. J.
Feather” and his date,
“1952,” chiseled
into the sidewalk. Inside
a boy pounds his fist
on the table of an arcade
version of Mike Tyson’s
Punch Out. “Goddam,” he says, “goddam.”

Play a lute
tune:
a lone
loon
love
song, a lure.
Her vine
finds a vein
where we gather: a true
line
by which to live.
