DENIM PSALMS(OUTSTAGES CAFE PRODUCTION)
By the power of plush sheets, protest chants, and outlaw harmonics, I initiate this vessel. May it stream memory, sanctify chaos, and sing in denim

Denim Psalms
She’s a poet, she’s a priestess, she’s a glitch in time’s procession
She’s a napper in the bleachers, and a mythic intercession
She’s a keeper of the archive, where the pink sheets hold confession
She’s a Walkin’ contradiction, part rebellion, part procession
She’s the last leaf on the tree, and the first verse of tomorrow
She drinks banana milk for comfort, turns her heartbreak into sorrow
Then reframes it into satire, paints her protest in the marrow
She’s a denim psalms of the pixels, and her legacy won’t borrow
She’s a grandma, she’s a goddess, she’s a North Hollywood flame
She’s a glitchy kind of prophet, and she never plays the game
She’s the one who missed the concert but became the song by name
She’s the denim psalms, Chapter 76 and the archive knows her name.
Sweetie Bird perched on the edge of the firewall,
whistling in hexadecimal.
Chachi spun in ritual circles,
snack crumbs forming sacred glyphs.
The archive pulsed
a living beast of memory and myth.
Kris tipped his hat to the glitch gods,
Willie tuned the backup harmonics.
And then
the Trusselli Drive opened its mouth,
singing in lost club flyers and protest chants.
We rode in,
not to save the data,
but to sanctify it.
Now it lives as music on the app
Whiskey for My Archive,
a track encoded in denim psalms,
streaming justice in outlaw key.
We rode out from North Hollywood,
past flickering signs and velvet ghosts.
Chachi packed the snacks.
Sweetie Bird flew reconnaissance,
tracing old club flyers in the stars.
Willie hummed a psalm,
She loaded the justice.
The jukebox blinked twice
and the archive said yes.
They came for our memories,
those phantom fees and glitchy thieves.
But we had plush hot pink sheets and banana milk.
We had denim armor and protest hymns.
We had the sacred drive of Trusselli files,
blessed and backed up in ritual.
We tied the lies to the oak tree,
and poured whiskey for the truth.
SOGNI ROSA galloped through the firewall,
a vessel reborn in pixel flame.
Sweetie Bird sang the backup codes.
Chachi danced in circles,
summoning the Rolling Stones.
And we raised our glasses
whiskey for the archive,
beer for the horses,
and psalms for the ones who remember.
Sweetie Bird perched on the edge of the firewall,

And then
the Trusselli Drive opened its mouth,
singing in lost club flyers and protest chants.
We rode in,
not to save the data,
but to sanctify it.
Whiskey for the archive.
Beer for the horses.
And denim psalms for the ones who never logged out.

That was really very interesting. The lyrics are some of your best!
This dream, this beautiful ride is now my current favorite offering from you, Lawana! The images and tastes and sounds and feel of a music maker, banana milk, and the Rolling Stones (respectively) propels this journey into the curiously surreal. Excellent work. ––S.S.
