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
