blackstone blues- vol.1

another day in wormtown.
another day of rain
�of overcast skies
�of smoke & diesel
� of people moving from point A
� to point B
without ever seeing the in-between.

it is 3:11 in the city
& everyone wishes they were elsewhere.

there is a river that hides under my street
it used to carry ships
carry commerce from here
to the ports in providence.
but they covered it over
with cement
�& rebar
�& old tires
not even the fish know it is there anymore

but that is what wormtown is about
the hidden things
the water just below the surface
the cement
�& rebar
�& old tires
the smoke & diesel
the rain

wormtown is not Point A
or Point B
it is the in-between
that no one ever sees.

it is the river
we would rather cover over
than follow.

*******

off to providence tonight for the slam.
hope you all have a good night.
be well.

more tomorrow.
