Send Me Off To Sea

Gatsby links up with the talented and ever so versatile Emily Shanny for this 90's-inspired love tune produced by Six Foot Pigeons and mixed & engineered by KaziBeatz.

Say you believe in me
That's all I needed to hear
I feel like no one else knows me, but you
I'm never leaving
You're what I'm needing

Say what you're needing from me
I'll give you that and more
You're love is sweet as honey
That's what I'm fiending for 
I'll never leave you baby
Unless you need your space
You'll always be my lady
There's no replacing
'Cause there ain't a damn thing
That means the world to me more than you do
That's how it's supposed to be
My love is true
Your hands all over me and my hands they're all over you
They'll never ever do the things that you do
That's right I'm itching for a fixing of you

Say you believe in me
(Boy I believe in you)
That's all I needed to hear
(I'll always be there for you)
I feel like no one else knows me, but you
(No one can love like you do)
I'm never leaving
You're what I'm needing

What if the public transportation was permanent?
Or if the talents that I am currently working with
Suddenly vanished girl could you manage
To hold it down?
Or take advantage of Peter Pan and abandon town
You with me or nah?
Could you sacrifice pedicures
The allure of the spa?
How much trouble could you endure to ensure that I got
a woman worthy unlike these thirsties to
Carry this rock upon your hand?
You command attention from gods who admire your every flaw
With their heavenly blessing my children will call you mom
But if a massive house with a picket fence and a lawn isn't something I can provide
Stay by my side for long?
Or would you roll?
Or roll with the punches?
What if my microphone turned to dirty clothes and a plunger
Dreams of being musician don't come to fruition
Wonder
Would you stick by my side or just pass me by like the others

Say you believe in me
That's all I needed to hear
I feel like no one else knows me, but you
I'm never leaving
You're what I'm needing

There's no question girl I'm in it for life
No second guessing
I'll be right by your side
You're my boo
You're my muse

There's no question boy I'm in it for life
No second guessing
I'll be right by your side
You're my boo
You're my muse

In Loving Memory

Byrnes / Cazan - First

called in sick yesterday
the body's such a give and take
fevered head means fevered mind
these fevered thoughts are thoughts of mine
the cupboards clean of medicine
the dogs are walking denizen
the gas is low, the stove won't light,
a moth is flying to the light. it hits.
parentheses divide a line
of clutter sitting in my mind.
the room is stale the lights are dull
the dog is growling out.

that's a sign
that's a body
in the water
floating under
that's the spirit
that's the hopefulness
that gets it done.

another brown hair turning gray
another catch that got away
another loaf that the mold got
another rope that won't go taut
another fold in the linen
another cup of gelatin
the pantry's full, the hope is gone
the phone is lighting up.

A Sign

Val Verde, March 9th, 2016. Night.

Sucking Stones is a piece built upon text from Samuel Beckett’s book Molloy.

In the ‘sucking stones’ scene the reader is taken through the actions and thoughts of the character Molloy as he becomes increasingly obsessed with systematically cycling through the sucking of sixteen stones, intending to not re-suck any of them before beginning again, desiring that each cycle be identical in terms of which stone is sucked: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc.

Readers: Pluto Bell, Danny Clarke, Cari Stevens, Jesse Quebbeman-turley
Electronics: Ryan Gaston, Eric Heep
Instrumentalists: Patrick Behnke (viola), Diego Gaeta (piano), Melissa Hulett (flute), Ben Levinson (contrabass), Iris Sidikman (cello), Davy Sumner (vibes)
