Let The Tree Fall

Some sins are here to stay.
All the others wash away in the rain.
In the end, they only cause you pain
if you believe in that old-fashioned refrain.
You must let the tree fall
if you want us to hear what you're sayin'.
Just ignore the clouds around you
because it's all in your brain.
The birds have told me secrets.
The winds have told me tales.
I've learned the blackest magic
from gray squirrels and old snails.
I've disrenewed leafs
and I've argued with old logs.
I've come out of the closet
and come in from the fog.
You must let the tree fall
and let yourself touch the ground again.
You will fall and you will fumble
but you will just get up and walk again.

Papatate

An old man with his old ways
watches the TV
24 hours for 30 years.
On the couch, he permanently sleeps.
He's a coward,
He's a Catholic,
and he hasn't been to church in years
but he still sends them money
so they keep him in their prayers.
He used to take the taxi
two blocks to the liquor store.
Since they stopped his drinking,
he don't go out any more.
And he stands up
and he pisses
in a jug kept on the floor,
missing those Russian spirits
that once helped him out the door.

J. M. Smig Salem, Massachusetts
The musical equivalent of the guy at the party who offends everyone by mooning the camera (but guess what everyone does to
the camera minutes later), Smig is the Witch City's composer laureate (not a difficult achievement, in all honesty).
"[C]ontemporary music for the bizarre at heart...[His] electronica and classical works operate in a style unlike any other."
(Electronic Musician newsletter)
