Johnnie Cochran

DONT LET IT HAPPEN TWICE!


My Johnnie killed
His brainwaves stilled-
Silenced in the night

A verse sewn shut by the ring of a bell
It's done, it's finished

After 20 hours on the road, we arrived back in Austin with nourished hearts and weary bodies... 2 more bodies than before, actually; We kidnapped Page and Zach to come swim in our pool and play some Settlers of Catan.

Our 3 shows in North Carolina were wonderful. We feel very loved.
