TRANSATLANTIC FLIGHT
My father died on a transatlantic flight. They ran out of fuel, so they never made it down. Now, day and night, they fly round and round through the dark and the light, never touching the ground. They finally starved after 27 nights, skeletal there in the pressurized air.
If I'm in flight and we run out of fuel, I'll find the window and I'll push it through. I'll shimmy out like paste shot from a tube. Rain down in a spray of red instead of circling your room like an awful joke that lingers in your ears, or the stupid light of a stupid moon.
It's enough to make you want to scream.

ERASER
Hang on, the program ends with the changing hour. Hang on, plots twist in ways we can't anticipate. This field of blackened clay gets paved in iridescent flowers. Hang on. I cannot harvest if I cannot wait.
I grab a hammer when a spade's required. I find I'm sleeping with my head against an unlocked gate. I cannot die because it hasn't ever happened. Tomorrow's promised but tomorrow's always late.
Hang on. We'd give you anything you wanted. Hang on. Our hearts fileted upon a golden plate. You chose annihilation served upon a silver platter. Hang on. The bile fails to satiate.
I wield erasers when I'm asked to make a statement. Half empty glasses knocked from tables in the hall. You had to die because that's all that's ever happened. Tomorrow's promised but tomorrow always stalls.
We had to die because that's all that's ever happened.

WIRE LINES New Bedford, Massachusetts
Wire Lines channel their urgent, hook-laden brand of alt rock through the lens of the hardcore punk on which they cut their teeth. That sensibility shines through not only in the brevity and ferocity of their music, but in their blatant disregard for convention. Each new sound complements the last, weaving a remarkably cohesive musical tapestry that is as inventive as it is refreshing. ... more
