about

I was driving a school bus in Milwaukee, up early, watching the city wake up. Buzzin on some caffeine maybe and these melancholy words came to me. Slippin into the now, that's where the songs are.

lyrics

Got up early stepped outside
sang so good to be alive
heard the start the buzz and hum
peopled streets and pollution
a thousand voices in the clouds

even if your smokestack's black
even if you vote like that
you are still the child inside of love

even as you cast your net
even as you bayonet
you are still the child inside of love

2.
I look into my pc screen
data access flickering
whirling atoms everywhere
in my toe nails in my hair
a thousand voices in the clouds

even as you tote that hoe
even as you hoe that row
you are still the child inside of love

even if you waste your life
even as you curse the light
you are still the child inside of love

3.
in every poem in every verse
all across the universe
on every head on every note
every thought and every joke
a thousand voices in the clouds

even if you hit the juice
even as you reproduce
you are still the child inside of love

as you take your babe to breast
as you close your eyes for death
you are still the child inside of love

a thousand voices in the clouds
you are still the child inside of love
