The Doors Music—Strange Days Indeed...

"...I've always been attracted to ideas that were about revolt against authority. I like ideas about the breaking away or overthrowing of established order.

Horse Latitudes*

When the still sea conspires an armor
And her sullen and aborted
Currents breed tiny monsters

Pause
Consent
In mute nostril agony
Carefully refined
And sealed over
