Take A Number

A mix of 14 tracks featuring parts of how I define love.

LOVE IS:_________

Superstition says that Friday the 13th is the unluckiest of days - a day fraught with danger, doom, and gloom. On February 13th, the Fucking Unicorns threw a party defying the odds and bringing in the Love. Headliner Bobby C Sound TV, Orion (L.A.), and Schmid-D (Denver) held it down proper with their sets as well.

Here is my live set from the evening- no edits. I was having some level issues, but I still think it's the BOMB!

Are. A. W.

What I wish I would have said to the soldier this morning as we stared each other down for a three second eternity in the *Smith’s parking lot (AKA “Officer Smith” poem)

I wonder

if this is what it feels like

standing on the other end

of your rifle

or are your eyes always that big

and soft

would you take offense?

if I said

that you are the only part

of that uniform

that makes me proud to be an American

the only part

that my tax dollars didn’t pay for

the only part

that is free

Lady soldier

they will rename movies after you

An Officer and An Elegance

I want to make movies after

You

it is impossible to camouflage your beautiful

and this lap

I just drove around the parking lot

after you set your sights

felt like a tour of duty

too long

for me to get Army brave

work up your kind of courage

roll down this window and say:

“Ma’am,

has anyone ever told you that you are gorgeous?

Especially in that uniform.

I hope that is not disrespectful,

but just thanking you for your service

is not enough…”

on her inhale

and my breath away

a civil war broke out in my heart

there is nothing finer than a woman

in uniform

she stands like a mountain

a mythical creature

half God

half Gun

she smells like

all she hangs out with is boys

no perfume

she smells like

all she does is kill boys

no platoon

she looked at me

like she hasn’t seen a man

in a very, very

long time

and I’ve never seen anything like her before

never before

have I wanted to slowly unbutton a patriot

and draft her

throw my home training

and her “basic”

out the window

love her country

until my Egyptian sheets

turn into fatigues

let her honorably

desert her uniform

to the floor of my bedroom

where it sits

like a lifeless pile of flag

nose to neck

I will smell her

for the first time

filling this room with our scent

like milk and honey

remind each other that love

is the only thing worth fighting for

open our windows

and let every neighbor know

that THIS

is what nation building sounds like!

she is the centerfold of every

military issue

enough woman

to make a grown man die

and I just wanted to thank her

for her service

because I haven’t used the words

“God”

and

“America”

in the same sentence

in a very long time.
