I miss your lips
those that used to kiss me
whenever I greeted them
and those that became wet
as soon as I licked them
-----
Your lips speak volumes
even from far away
but all their lyrics to me
are essentially mine
counting your lips to me
-----
You moved your lips
sensually at first
especially on the screen
parting them like the sea
with a mind and heart screen
-----
Your lips don’t lie
when they are excluded
from an unimportant life
as the months and years pass
unwarranted for life
-----
I missed your lips
all of them at first
before I understood them
and what they symbolised
a future filled with them

Dear Melissos
Melissos did not cry when he felt the outside world for the first time, since his mother, Goddess Athena, made it so. I would have surely cried upon leaving Athena’s safe womb for this so-called new world, although I would have rejoiced as soon as I beheld, at least in my mind, the love in her eyes. My little heart would have capitulated without her hand caressing it from every angle. Melissos’ small heart was large in another way, as a part of Athena corticated through it like her original olive tree.

'20/20'
"Do It Again" the track that would ultimately open the Beach Boys final album on Capitol Records which was released on February 10th 1969 had originally been released as a single in August of 1968. The track was the first of many post-Pet Sounds era throwbacks to the early Beach Boys sound which would become continually more cliched and eventually lead the Beach Boys to the level of self-parody they would eventually succumb to in the 1980s while their closest contemporaries The Beatles nearing the end of their run in 1969 would go on to be viewed as the most influential band of all time. However, the song itself is not bad on its surface, and it opens with a futuristic sounding (for 1969) drumbeat captured by then-Beach Boys engineer Stephen Desper using tape delays on the drums performed by Dennis Wilson and John Guerin. The song has been re-recorded numerous times over the years on various Beach Boys-related projects most notably the 2011 re-recording at Capitol studios featuring the five surviving Beach Boys at the time backed instrumentally by various members of both the Brian Wilson Band and Mike Loves touring "Beach Boys" to promote the then upcoming Beach Boys 50th Anniversary reunion tour in 2012. The hammering and power drill sound at the end of the song was an excerpt from a track called "Workshop" that was to be a part of the uncompleted "SMiLE" album.
