Our dirtbags laughed:   You can sit with us while we finish.   This was intimacy: our sitting; their finishing.   We laughed; we returned frames to their shelves.   We bought shadows dark and lip stains darker. Darker,   said our dirtbags, damp on basement couches.   We envied in secret the laughs of bright girls,   high as their hair pinned in hard, slick curls.   They spun like acrobats in the high school gym,   strobing in glitz we were disallowed.   Bitches, spat our dirtbags, skanks, whichever   words coaxed our laughter. We swallowed them   like expectorant and laughed in wet coughs   under canopies of parking lot trees,   our arms crossed as though coffined already.   We rolled in our dirtbags' scent like hunting dogs,   napped in stuffy rooms as their hands, their hands   blessed guns, made backpacks heavy with Ziploc holy.   It's all good, laughed our dirtbags. Our hips, our ponytails   swayed easy as leaves. By summer, our dirtbags   wore sly, deep pockets, weighed powders,   held capsules to the light under a jeweler's loupe.   The car windows glided, phones lit up like lightning   bugs on the shoulders of gravel roads. Such soft light,   light of vigils, light the yellow of a forgiven bruise.   We rode to neighboring towns of missing teeth and needles.   We cried in bathrooms far from home. We were home   when we laughed, when we laughed we laughed Everclear vomit.   But our dirtbags, our dirtbags let us sit while they finished,   and their hands were warm as stones pressing us to sleep.   Funeral for a Cat When the cat was killed by a driver in a tragic hit-and-run, the dirt bike kid watched it happen. He screamed to gather us to her carcass: Pumpkin! He pedaled hard around the block. Pumpkin is dead! I was afraid to tell Dad, at first. He went outside, shoveled Pumpkin into a grocery bag and dug a hole under a lilac bush. It was too late in the season for flowers, but he said they would bloom next year: a small truth sounding like kindness. The kids begged him for a real funeral to say goodbye. He smiled a little, but not at them, and had us circle the grave and hold each other's sweaty hands while he prayed. It was a test. The dirt bike kid and the girls with yards of upside-down toys wept for the cat, loose with their sadness. The streetlights flickered on, and I was afraid of Dad again. I tried not to picture Pumpkin with a halo and wings, but I failed. I begged God to forgive me for it, then tried not to picture God as a cat shaking its head at my blasphemy, then prayed not to cry as the cats kept coming. I missed the amen, but I held out. I passed. After the funeral, Dad said I was so grown-up, not weeping over a cat that didn't belong to anyone. Not to the neighborhood, not even to God. He prayed over hamsters in the years to follow, maybe a second cat. He prayed, and I grew into a tragic, feral thing.

dustmotesIn this episode:I talk with creative commons musician Paul Croker of dustmotes. Paul began to experiment with creating Digital based music, finding an affiliation with the use of samples and loops to build soundscapes. DJ’ing in local clubs, he learnt to beat mix and also layer sounds within a live environment.Audiomp3 audio | ogg audio | stream | torrentSubscribe to the Show:via iTunes | Other via RSSwebsite - http://dustmotes.net/Closing track - "Plainsong" by dustmotes - CC-BY-NC-ND -- didn't realize the song I chose was ND until after the show oops.

Slinger Francisco, better known as The Mighty Sparrow, affectionately dubbed, The Birdie is the unrivaled Calypso King of the World, with a career that spans over 40 years and counting. This artist par excellence has earned his rightful place as "King of the Calypso World" by defeating every other competitor/pretender to his throne. He has entertained audiences across the globe, including, the Caribbean, Europe, Asia, Africa, North and South America, to name but a few. Sparrow's roots are in Gran Roi, a rural fishing village in Grenada. He was born to a poor working class family. They migrated to his adopted homeland, Trinidad, when he was just one year old. He attended the New Town Boys School where he was selected to sing in the boys. choir of St. Patrick's Catholic Church. This was his initial involvement in music. The harmonics of the Gregorian Chants and the Plainsongs of the church that were embedded in him would later affect the depth and intensity of his compositions. His vocal abilities also reflect his childhood role as the head choirboy who sang baritone and tenor in Latin in the church. Other influences included listening to American street quartets, pop tunes by Nat King Cole and Frankie Laine, Sarah Vaughn, Billy Eckstein, Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald with their jazz contributions, and the early calypsoes of Lord Melody, Lord Kitchener, Lord Christo, Lord Invader (of Rum and Coca Cola fame) and the Mighty Spoiler, to name a few. At the tender age of 20, Sparrow emerged, as the leading Calypsonian with his record-breaking hit, Jean and Dinah. (Yankees Gone, 1956 covered by Harry Belafonte).
