Unlikely 2.0


   The story of a love is not important—what is important is that one is capable of love. It's perhaps the only glimpse we are permitted of eternity. —Helen Hayes

Two Confessions by Michael D. Grover

Confessions of an American Outlaw #103: Bitches Brew

This supernatural room
Shows itself
As a fly launches
Off of the book
That's in my hands

Now a pen & pad
In my hands
Grinding one out
As Miles plays Bitches Brew
The painting explodes
The room explodes
Everything explodes
Alone in the night




Confessions of an American Outlaw #93: Search for the New Land

Fading into the room
Like you were creeping in
Full sound, snuck in & built it
As the music faded
Into the speakers
Lee Morgan, you can hear it

During my training twelve years ago
My teacher told me to buy this album
& it has never failed me
