Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter... and Spring (2003)



'Tis the season of perverted pagan rituals, to be reminded,
"Lust awakens the desire to possess, and that awakens the intent to murder."

Possess a Samsung - 42" Class 720p Flat-Panel Plasma HDTV and Microsoft - Xbox 360 Pro Console, available at Best Buy now for just $899.98.

A season of giving, a season of taking.

With a large stone roped to our child's bust we step boldly before a blue Ford pickup speeding down Laurel Canyon, we slip quietly through a hole in ice covered White Bear Lake, we leap faithfully from a Bedford Falls bridge.

Recall indulging an old friend's addiction at the Triangle Bar, mimicking the stupor of Exile on 4th Street, watching "Torn and Frayed" shredded by Zuzu's Pedals--the souvenir laughing that after death comes a Wonderful Life.

The gravel baritone of Reverend Cleveland, gospel's tragic king, calls:
Say you gotta habit.
(everybody gotta habit).

A choir of evergreen cliffs responds:
Tell me about it.

Back leans into fingers painting grand colors into carved keys:
Man said, "I'm hooked! I'm hooked! Aaand--I--caaan't--get myself freeee!"

'Kerchief dabs, temple glistening:
(Shhhh)
Where is your faith?
Where--is--your--faaayyth
in God?
