beauty electric.
nightly she sings
lips pressed to the microphone like a lover
ragged voice shaking
leaking out in thin streams
little pieces of her running for cover
mesmerizing
she's hypnotized, numb
to the hot lights
the smoke
the cigarette taste
the sweat in her eyes
as she sways, she holds sway
the mic
the guitar
the stage
the bar
the night
they are hers, and they're all she has
she's onstage alone, pinned
beneath their microscope eyes
she burns
she's hypnotized
she never can tell when her fingers are bleeding
she can't feel her fingertips
she radiates truth
and beauty electric
with the microphone at her lips
you're not much

it's really soon, and I'm not sure if that means I'm going to upload things more often or less often (if that's possible).
we'll see.
also, I went to Lollapalooza and it may have changed my life. I suddenly want to play guitar/piano/flugelhorn...
I got really sunburned, but it's getting better.
maybe later I'll say something else, stick around.
