--------
Fog, crept through the gate, crawled across the bay, and swallowed the city.

The only company I had, was the reflected sounds of my footsteps.

Gray covered all, the lights haloed, the bars of mixed laughter which seemed so cold to me.

I had hoped, in this city, filled with people, crowded with souls, that I might find someone, someone, some one.

But no. No, I have never found anyone who can see me.

And so in my loneliness, I look for company.

Cold company.

Which I buy. Yes, I buy.

And it doesn't make me feel warm. 

But it wraps me in its own way, like the fog.

And I always wear my protection against the fog.

David Graves's Album

The EarlyIM (aka IM Band, aka Intellectual Monarchs) started its improvisational odyssey in San Francisco, CA, in 1995. Musicians included Seanchan Owen, leader/vocals; Frank Skillman, bass/guitar; John Girton, violin/mandolin; Lee Lustig, bass/audio; and Jack Perron, synth/web. Occasionally others joined, including Troy Sutton, drums, and Arty Sturges, drums. Today some of the original and new members of the Intellectual Monarchs continue to play together over the web. Their original, music-backed short stories style can be found on the SoundCloud/IMBAND site.
