I am not insane
To say
"I do not want that life for myself."
To stand up for myself.
To lie down in the embrace of cool death is not my winter's dream.
I will only view Death from the corner of my
Specter Eye.
For that old familiar, Death,
Will never see me
Falling into the line,
And camouflaged into others' outlines.
No, Death will always find me
Standing Out of the crowd-
Alone, alive, and truly well!
Death will always see me through her iron bars,
Scribing upon the prison's walls
A grand and gruesome end that displays
Death- as nothing more than trivial.
For an alive poet in a dead society
Unveils a masterpiece-
A living poet veils a Life.

In This Town: Feminism 'Gets Old'
In this town, Feminism gets old. She used to be a young woman. Full of life and hopes and dreams. She used to be loved by all women and respected by men, even if sometimes called, "Hey, Eccentric!". But now she is old and bent with gray hair and dreams spent. She lives alone in a secluded mansion, and nobody understands why she hasn't a spouse. But nobody knows that this town is where she has her roots. In this town, she danced to new tunes and walked under full moons.

'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.
