Peppered Kisses
And a poem based on some hot peppers I grew
Slip me into your mouth like a too-hot pepper
Oozing capsaicin across your fingertips,
Your lips.
Tongue.
Down your throat.
Let your molars pinch the seeds of heat,
Crack them open until desire burns through you.
.
I want to burn like a star in the hollow of your throat,
Hot enough to press my initials into your vocal cords.
I want you to wake up in the middle of the night,
Unable to breathe because the heat won't quit,
Coated in sweat
And dreams,
Lingering desires that turn into a flush.
.
Touch your throat with trembling hands and fingers
Cooled by the ice you've obsessively swallowed.
Let your thoughts wander
To the wildfire
Haunting your lips.
It cannot be extinguished with water, nor milk, nor cream.
The heat has invaded the essence of you, the nooks of the soul.

'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.
