Your inside source on everything entertainment from Wisconsin to Hollywood.

And now, a guy who writes checks his mouth can't cash.

Pete Schwabba.

Welcome back, people.

Is it too weird if I say couch potatoes?

I don't think so.

Do you think some people are proud to be actual couch potatoes?

I do.

Or do you think they think I'm taking liberties with there?

Like, I'm calling them TV watchers.

I would be proud of them.

I love color

television.

I'm proud of it.

All right.

Very cool.

This is Pete Schwabba and Nightlight Conrad working the board.

Chris Mays is here in studio.

We're gonna talk some dinner detective.

That is coming up in just a minute.

Our question of the night, folks, is what is your favorite after-bar food?

And we've heard some pretty good, we gotta catch up on some texts, but we've had a lot of, breakfast was one.

I was surprised we didn't hear that earlier.

We did hear that late in hour two, but we'll read some of your texts coming up here too.

I gave everybody a great movie recommendation.

recommendation it's kind of violent but it's mostly just like total badass and it's called revenge you can stream it if you got a roku search check it out and i don't it's a french film and i believe there were subtitles but it is outstanding sometimes i'm in the mood for subtitles and sometimes i'm not yeah yeah um so we'll do that it is a bar ban friday night rocker will be here tonight filling in for terry bar

He is her Max Inc radio co-host on WMDX in Madison.

You can also listen to that great show that's on every Saturday night from six to nine PM on the app at civicmedia.us.

But Terry is our Wisconsin music expert and rocker will fill in tonight and he always does a great job.

Jim from Appleton in the 920 says the best post bar food was the Hungry Bull in Monash, Wisconsin.

They had a full menu.

There were omelets.

Their omelets were the best.

Sadly, they closed a few years ago.

Well, luckily, there's never usually a shortage of bar food.

You can always find sliders or fast food or whatever.

Thank you, Jim.

Bridget in the 818 says, pizza was an exclamation point.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Conrad, could be a, could be a, you guys can get together for some pizza.

Conrad.

You know what I bought at Aldi the other day?

They had this thin crust bacon pizza and it looked like it was like,

Barely had sauce or cheese on it and little bits of bacon all over it.

I bought it.

For some sweet

savings though.

Sweet savings and flavor country.

Let's be honest because it's a beautiful looking pizza and I didn't eat it because I'm on kind of this program which only allows me to have one frozen bacon.

You had to stare at it, that

made you

feel good about yourself.

I am taking that thing down this weekend though, no question about that.

Mark from Prairie to Sack, he's in the 608 says, on the pilot of the spy comedy series, Chuck.

Oh yeah, Chuck.

Adam Baldwin in his role of spy John Casey suggested he was thinking of having pancakes after he took care in quotes of Chuck who had just had the intersect loaded in his head and Sarah Walker, the CIA spy that decided to save Chuck.

Fun and sued when the three three dead to rush off to defuse a bomb planted by planted to kill the general the kicker porn

helped save the day.

I have no idea what.

Wow.

There's a lot going on.

Speaking of

subtitles.

Whoa, Mark.

Yeah, I need some AI maybe.

Help us out

with the end of that one, Mark.

Yeah, Mark.

It was good.

It was starting to lose me and then he said the word porn and then I kind of rallied there at the end.

I saw your eyes

perk

up.

Yeah, I saw it.

So help us out, Mark.

We'll clarify that text.

All right.

Chris Maze is here.

He is the producer of Dinner Detective.

Let's

get right into this, Chris, because I know you did shows.

The first time I heard about this in downtown Green Bay here, I think you guys were over at the Hyatt.

There is a wonderful young woman here who makes a great salad right down the street at the Fresh Kind.

Her name is Kayla.

Miller.

Okay.

Oh, yeah.

And she is in

my cast.

Yeah.

So I knew about you, then it came up in conversation there and I'm like, Oh my gosh.

So I would love sometime to have, you know, you and a few people, if you ever want to do a demonstration here, I think they'd be really fun.

Yeah,

we could play a game or something.

Yeah.

Absolutely.

So I've heard a little bit from Kayla and then you and I have talked a little bit about it.

I've never been to one.

Tell people what they can expect when they go to one of these cool dinner detective events.

So the dinner detective, yeah, it's produced by clearly confused entertainment.

Unfortunately, I did not start the company, but I am involved on the

corporate

entity.

It was started by a gentleman named Scott O'Brien.

Scott worked in episodic television in Hollywood, and he worked for a very prominent executive producer who did a lot of law and crime type shows.

So he went to a murder mystery in LA.

David Kelly.

Maybe.

Well, you can't say his name.

Why is that tough?

I don't know.

No, I can.

Yeah, David E. Kelly.

And then so Scott gets tickets through his wife to go see a murder mystery 21 years ago.

Oh, wow.

They go to this murder mystery in California and Scott's watching.

And our immersion and interactive theater was very popular then.

So he's watching this and thinking, well, we can do something different.

So he gets these true crime.

cases, access to all this stuff, comes up with the first script and they launch it at a restaurant in Southern California becomes this cult classic kind of thing.

Everybody's talking about it, start spreading throughout California.

And then finally, they start taking it nationwide.

So they went to different areas.

It's been it's where you have three in Wisconsin, Milwaukee, Madison, Green Bay, we're still at the Hyatt.

We signed for another year there.

Sweet.

Yeah.

And it's a three hour, four act, as I said, interactive experience.

So it's all set in real time, present day.

So it's not anybody dressed up in like zootsuits and like 220s gangster type.

A bummer.

But so the idea is that guests come in, they know they're going to play a game.

We tell them that at the beginning because games have different things they have tools they have Boards whatever they have winners and they have

Losers

no prizes.

Oh Pete that is just that is so terrible of you to call people losers.

I know you are but I'm Prizes are better though, so you get the sense, right?

So then all of a sudden though this this this other thing happens another this death

And that changes the dynamic and suddenly, you know, anybody in this room could be a killer.

Right.

Performers implanted.

There's all these things so that nobody knows who's real and who's not.

But then so it's ultra realism versus comedy.

Right.

Clown world because you have your detectives.

And so think of your detectives.

We call it Saturday night.

Law and order meets Saturday night live.

So they become these detectives, right?

And so they do everything from the fifth dimension, right?

They're really trying to solve the crime, but they go about it in very unorthodox ways.

carry themselves in very unique ways.

I mean, they are the law.

Yeah.

Um, you know, uh, so it creates mayhem.

There's a script to it naturally because of the investigation, but also it's a lot of improv.

So one of the

stars of the show is actually our guests when they come, what they bring to it, how they interplay with us.

Oh, they

love that.

Yeah.

So it's always unique.

You know, yeah, there's going to be a eventual end game that becomes, you know, we rotate the scripts about every six months here in Green Bay.

So there's always something fresh for people to come.

Do you write it?

Uh, no.

got created all this.

That's why I give him the he's the

creator.

I

call him the creator, whether he likes it or not.

I think he does.

And we're always trying to develop new storylines.

But we can also bend a lot of things within the existing storylines.

So, you know, so it has that true crime edge, which is very popular and people can get into that aspect, or they can embrace the comedy or they can just sit back and take in the whole experience as it is while they also have a great multi course meal.

And that whole thing

does the person who died

get their food copped?

Or does that pretend?

Well, if I told you I might have to kill you.

Would it be funny?

Do you think, what are the odds, Chris, that someone in their real life has committed a murder that was part of this night?

And he's like, oh boy,

I hope that could be.

Wasn't there that TV show that was like a law show?

It was like a Judge Judy-esque type show, and the bailiff actually ended up...

Killing his wife in real life.

So you just make you you don't

manifest

this

on to the dinner names have been changed to

protect right That's right.

We have a call.

Who's on the phone?

Yeah mark from the sack.

Oh, we need some clarity mark.

How you doing buddy?

I'm

doing okay.

Well, you're familiar with the short shock you worked in a computer and your computer places and part of the nerd heard

yeah,

and one of the things he had to cure was this Virus was out there

Well, they go rushing off to save the general.

They get to the place where it's a computer hooked up to this butload at C4 underneath there.

The clock is ticking down and Chuck goes to, his friend Morgan called up and just killed Chuck's computer with downloading this virus.

So Chuck goes in and shuts down the computer by downloading the Irene de Mova porn virus.

into the computer, I shot this on the computer.

Right when it clicks on one, you know, one second left.

So that's how porn saved the day.

Oh, Mark, that's awesome.

And I appreciate you going the extra mile and calling us and telling us that to clarify.

As I text stuff to Conrad sometimes and he doesn't even know what I'm saying.

So that was a big help.

Thank you, sir.

Have a great night.

All right I guess porn

can save the world.

It does a lot of good.

Yeah,

I mean I'm just saying I'm not saying it should be right, you know a Conrad watches a ton of it.

I've had to intervene at times, but Pizza not during the show.

Yeah

from

Aldi pizza.

It all

comes

back together sweet.

That's right sweet sweet something big big savings

a little group thing going on I don't

know emphasis on big

Nick from the from the 608 says jerk

Chicken.

Oh, this is keeps getting better and better fried plantains beans and red rice

bread

fruit and then a key in Jamaica, of course But here burgers or taco.

Oh boy.

That's a big he sounded so excited when he was texting about the jerk chicken plantains Like it's awesome

just some burgers and whatever

I've done that like when I come home from the bar seriously like I've cooked

Like I'm not hammered or anything this is years ago, but I'll make like a big thing of pasta with some garlic and like you know or Yeah, like burgers or I'll put chicken on the grill or something out

I found I did that when I lived in Vegas because that there you can go at two in the morning and get a steak or

something Yeah, so when

you so coming home to cook at like two in the morning doesn't seem so out of yeah, great point Pesh to go.

It's very quiet.

So

they're

finding pots and things you

know finding anything

the deer

are

freaking

out 2 a.m That's the voice of Chris Mays.

He is the director of dinner detective here in Green Bay You could check that out.

Where can people get some more information Chris?

They can go to the dinner detective comm slash green

Dash Bay.

Okay, perfect.

And how often do you do them?

It depends.

We do them on select Saturdays.

We also offer private events.

So if you have a business or a civic group or some kind of organization that would like to have us do a performance for you at the Hyatt or we can bring it to you, we did one a couple years back on the roof of Titletown.

Oh, sweet.

Yeah, we've done them in mansions with koi ponds in the middle of the performing space.

So it's very durable, very flexible.

So there's a lot of ways to enjoy the dinner.

And the food?

You're not serving bologna sandwiches with this.

This is good stuff.

Appetizer, they get

salad, bread, they get their choice of three different entrees and a fantastic dessert.

I love it.

This has been fun.

Thank you for coming in.

Before we let you go, are you watching anything on TV that you could recommend, like a good binge watch or something?

You know, I've gone a little retro recently because one show that I did not watch that now I'm starting to get into is Mr. Robot.

Did you ever watch that show with that Rami

Malik?

Yeah, I watched a few episodes of that and it grabbed me.

And then I thought, I don't know, I went away from it for some reason, but it

did hook me right away.

I think it's my surreal kind of existential mentality, too.

You know, of course, I also watch the only murders in the building on Hulu love that because anything true crime and stuff like that, you know,

but

I'm definitely in the series more in recent times because

I've been

thinking about that, you know, I did see, I don't know if you saw, did you see

the film Sinners.

Oh yeah.

I love that.

Love Sinners and I just saw one battle after another a couple weeks ago.

Oh

yeah?

Those two are my two favorite.

I think I would

give the edge to one battle just because it's like you're

but sinners was me and all aspects the costumes and the writing and that was phenomenal.

Yeah and

this kind of grounded realism but then fantastical

too at the same

time.

Real quick we got to get out of here do you have a website if you already said it I apologize.

Well I'll just I'll just pitch a few

different things studio170.net will tell you all about our performing arts school.

My non-profit is atlastheatre.net if you want to learn more and donate because we'll always take donations and of course come on out and see Sweeney Todd out at Forrest Hills support the arts here in the community.

and that's forcedin.org.

Outstanding.

Chris Mays, thank you so much, sir.

Thanks, please.

Best of luck.

Break a leg.

Appreciate it.

All right, we're coming right back on Nightlight to read your texts.

We're coming right back on the Civic Media Radio Network.

Oh, man.

I'm Pete Schwab, but this is Nightlight, our question of the night.

What is the best after-bar food?

I would imagine, Con, that since we, where we live and how popular cocktails, beer, alcohol is in this state, it would be just, we have to be the king of after-bars as well.

After-bar food, I would imagine.

So I was not surprised.

This is a popular question.

John from the 608 says,

Peter, are you reading the room?

Conrad sounded a little down.

I was sad about the camera, you

know, but I got a tour.

That was the beginning of the show.

Yeah, okay.

Well, that's very sweet of you, John.

Looking out for the K-man.

Appreciate that, sir.

Edward in the 414 says, a greasy Chicago-style Italian beef sandwich with peppers on a hoagie, on hoagie bread.

Edward, yeah, the guinella bread.

Edward, it's gotta be guinella bread and dunked.

If I was in my 20s right now, Con, I would probably, not probably, but I've done crazier stuff, drive to Chicago and get an Italian beef sandwich.

And just to say I did it.

Maybe not from Green Bay, I would do it from Milwaukee though.

Yeah, that's, I mean, it's like a three hour drive to, you know, Chicago for me or so.

Yeah, it's a healthy drive, but the rewards are Italian beef sandwich.

Tom from New Berlin says, after bar food, three things, grease and something with grease.

And the third thing is hamburger with grease.

Nice.

Yeah, what's your point, Tom?

That's what we're doing here, right?

Thank you, sir.

Melissa, from Willy Street in the 608 says, any greasy spoon that serves breakfast, oh, to be young again.

I could not agree more.

Melissa, and I've been to George Webb.

I've done that in the middle of the night.

I have done that as well.

So breakfast is becoming more popular here.

Thank you, Melissa.

We have a phone call?

Yes, we do.

Who do we have?

Ali from the North Woods.

It's a food question, Ali.

I was starting to get nervous.

You might have known, huh?

Yeah.

What's on your

mind?

Well, I would say the best thing to have would be get an Uber.

If you're drinking, get yourself an Uber and get on through

a

drive-thru or go home and get a pizza.

Because my parents own the restaurant and inevitably

The drunk would wait until the bar closed and then they would want your their food to be ready Two minutes after they walked in the door and and one night I had I was like in my early 20s um Table probably eight ten people and they were the most obnoxious people there was they were

throwing the dinner rolls and the

relish

clay because through the through the kitchen door yelling at the cook why is it taking so long and I finally had enough and I Gave them what for my knees were shaken and by the time I was done I was crying and I knew that my dad was gonna fire me when he heard

Whoa, you know what Conrad

I

I want to go there right now and beat people up on Ollie's behalf

when someone

makes my Ollie cry I take offense to that

Well, I've gotten a little thicker skin

Yeah,

it seems

good, but I was really worried that I was gonna get fired But by the time that I gave them all what for there was a huge tip left on their

table.

Oh nice

so

If they're listening to the radio, they know who they

are.

Oh, that is so awesome.

Thank you very much, Ollie.

Have a great night.

And you know what?

I have one other quick story.

Sure.

You were talking about going to Chicago to get a sandwich.

And

it reminded me of the old mash thing where they ordered the ribs.

Oh,

yeah.

And sauce?

You remember that?

I do remember that one, yeah.

So they ordered the ribs and sauce and they said, oh, you forgot the coleslaw.

I'm not that patient.

I'm not ordering

through the

mail.

Thanks so much, Ollie.

Have a great night.

Oh, that's

fantastic.

I love it.

Tyler from Wisconsin Rapids says ditto with tacos.

Tacos bravos from Taco John's.

I forgot about Taco John's.

I have never had Taco John's, I think.

I had it years ago.

It was good.

Also, Terry Barr is currently lost in the corn maze.

Can't make the show.

How does Tyler know that?

Maybe they're close friends.

Maybe it's a dinner detective type thing.

Paula, that's Conrad's mom, says, after bar, I'm not fussy.

It could be pizza, tacos, burgers, or chips and dip.

Oh, chips and dip afters, actually.

That's

pretty good.

Really good.

You ever do that?

You ever just mow a bag of chips?

Oh, yeah, easily.

With nothing else, just like all the Doritos.

Doritos, yeah.

12,000 calories of just salt.

John in the 608 says, big country breakfast at the landmark in Freeport, Illinois, three pounds of breakfast.

And after I blended it into a haystack, oh, wow.

That's onion rings.

Oh,

wow.

Yeah.

It was a dream meal.

Then afterwards, race home before the Cinderella Comet overtakes me.

Thank you, John Murray.

Conrad's dad says, back in the day, growing up in the Wisconsin Dells area, the best place to go after the bar closed was going to country kitchen and ordering their famous country skillet.

Yeah, that sounds like good.

Good after-bar food.

If my friends and I were partying in Madtown, the best after-bar food was a Euro and fries and Coke on State Street, Parthenon.

great deal at 4.95.

Steve, I don't know if you know this, and I totally agree with you, by the way, I've been there a few times myself, but they're, they close now like at 10 or something like that.

It's not open late anymore.

And I mean, it's probably for the better for the owners, but it probably cost them a lot of money because they were packed.

John says they stayed open till four and served nonstop drinks all night long.

Bless them all.

I think he's talking about the place in Freeport.

Yeah, awesome stuff.

Keep those texts coming, folks.

You can still get in on the fun.

What is your favorite after-bar food?

That's what we're talking about tonight.

And when we come back, it is a bar ban Friday night.

And Terry Barr has summoned her pal, Rocker, who will be filling in for her.

And he is going to give us the lowdown on all things Wisconsin music coming up next.

It's Peach Waba in Nightlight.

Time to check out original music with Bar Band Friday on Nightlight.

Now your host, Pete Schwabba, and special guest, Terry Barr.

Welcome back.

All right.

One of my favorite times of the week, Bar Band Friday night here.

And it doesn't even matter.

Terry Barr, we love her so much.

But even when she's not here, we are in good hands because we are joined

by our other Wisconsin music expert and Max Inc Radio co-host the award-winning music show here at Civic Media on WMDX.

It is on every Saturday from 6 to 9 p.m.

And if you don't live in the Madison area check out the podcast at civicmedia.us.

One half of this great team is here right now.

Rocker, how you doing buddy?

What's happening Pete?

Not too much.

Thanks for having me man.

As always, it's our pleasure and thank you for filling in.

I have to ask you, do you probably are a picture of health now after your recent issues?

I'm sure you're very healthy, but did you ever go through a time where you were chowing food after the bars?

Do you have a favorite 2am

snack?

There's one that I still love right now in Madison and it's called Paul's Pelmeni.

And Palmini is a Russian dumpling, and they're either filled with kind of like this beef or a potato, and then you order the dumplings either one, the other, or as a combo, and they have some curry and some seasonings to it, and you get it with a Russian rye bread, and it hits the spot.

It fills you

up.

That sounds like way too sophisticated of a meal, though, for

2

AM.

That

sounds

pretty good.

And the guy that owns it, well, he's in a band.

He's in the Madtown Manish Boys blues band, which we're going to actually hear from tonight.

Oh, fantastic.

Well, let's jump right in.

You always have a lot of material for us and we totally appreciate that.

So let's jump in.

What do you got tonight, buddy?

Well, you know, on a quick note, I thought I'd give you a little note about Max Inc Radio, right?

Yeah.

So Max Inc Radio is actually the radio part of what was Maximum Inc Music Magazine, which I distributed around the entire state of Wisconsin, all the way up to Green Bay, all over Wisconsin for 27 years from 1996 all the way into the lockdowns of the pandemic.

Wow.

And after the after the pandemic, we were kind of already doing

radio, and it just didn't make sense to bring back the print magazine.

But just so you know, you have a little background of where the Maxink name comes from.

I did

know that, but I'm glad that you reminded us because I kind of forgot

that, you know, but I did hear the

story at one point, so that's great.

Oh, yeah, all right.

Let's see, you know, tonight I was going to tell you that you can find our podcast also on Spotify and Apple music and of course civic media.us slash max inc radio.

And this week on max inc radio, Terry and myself are off.

It's actually my 28th anniversary with my wife, Alice.

And so we're going to be selling bringing that Rob Roberts is going to be in spinning local Wisconsin made music.

And remember, you can listen to the podcast, of course, civicmedia.us slash max sync radio.

And for those bands that are out there listening, also, we play local music.

And if you'd like to submit your MP3 to us, send to music at civicmedia.us.

That's music at civicmedia.us.

And the same if you'd be interested in playing live in our studio.

So much fun.

Speaking of playing live in our studio.

Just two weeks ago, we had this guy Robbie Sender.

He's from Milwaukee.

He's a Milwaukee singer-songwriter, and he had an amazing performance in our studio, and he has a hero story of drug addiction and later redemption.

It was completely inspiring.

And of course, you can hear that on Spotify or Apple Music.

Let's check this out.

This is recorded right down at WMDX in Madison.

This is Robbie Sender.

This song is called Ten Feet Tall.

Yeah, I found lightning in the bottom.

Thunder follows everywhere she goes.

She got me running around on rooftops, got me bouncing off the wall.

Standing five foot eight, but today I'm ten feet tall.

The red my head's been growing.

I'm bound to float away.

Darling, draw your hero.

Strike me down to stay.

With your lightning in the bottle.

I love that.

That's

great.

Robbie Sender.

Robbie Sender from Milwaukee.

Look him up.

It's R-O-B-B-I-E.

Robbie Sender.

Hey, I have a quick question for you, Rocker.

All

the

music you guys bring every Friday, whether it's you or Terry, it's so good and they're people I have never heard of.

Is that sort of discouraging?

I'm honest to God, because we have so much great talent here.

There's so many great musicians and bands.

Are there enough stages?

Are there not enough stages?

What do you think?

You know, I think that here in Wisconsin, we are drunk on local original music, all over the state, really.

Madison and Milwaukee are, you know, really huge scenes, you know, the Fox River Valley.

And that's one of the interesting things that I think about Mexican radio is that we play all these bands from all over the state.

and their original music.

And there's no way that any one person can really know all the local bands.

So when you

listen to

maxing radio, most of the time, everything you're hearing is new.

Even if it's an old throwback, even if it's a band that's not even around anymore, it's still really going to be new to you most of the time.

You know,

every

now and then you'll be like, Oh, I know that, but right.

It's, it's, it's an interesting, it's an interesting dilemma.

But on maxing radio,

bands stay alive, you know, on regular radio, you're always going to hear Led Zeppelin in the doors and all

that stuff

is going to live forever.

But where does the local bands music go when they quit?

Max and Gradio.

Or whatever their end is.

Yeah.

Great answer.

Exactly.

All right.

So who we got next here?

Let's see the the Madtown Managed Boys.

We were just talking about them Friday, October 24th.

That's tonight.

8pm.

They're playing at the Roxy in Madison.

That's 327 Gorham right off State Street.

Yeah.

And the Madtown Managed Boys, they're like a classic blues band.

They bring a fresh, authentic energy to blues and soul.

The guys are great.

And

They just make you want a boogie.

This is the Madtown Manage Boys.

It's called Get Out of My Life

Woman.

It's so funny, like the amount of bluesy music you guys bring is baffling, because this is, I don't think people equate Wisconsin with the blues, right?

Like, but

we have

great blues artists here.

Oh, just tons.

I mean, all over, everywhere up north, Milwaukee, Madison, has a great blues scene always.

And they're part of it.

Manish Boys, they're...

You know, younger, maybe the next generation of blues, where maybe you think of blues as really old guys with white hair.

And they're much younger and they have a world-class harmonica player.

Guitar is great.

Kyle Rayleigh.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I think I got that name wrong.

But they're just a fabulous band.

Yeah,

that was

great.

Uh, okay, so who do we have next here?

Oh, let's see, uh, Scallowine.

Let's go right to Thursday, October 30th at the

Emory Bar

in Madison.

It's one beer, please.

Cuoca, Lowboy, and Mascales.

And so, I mean, this has got to speak for itself, right?

It's ska music.

One beer, please.

This is money, money, money.

Love it.

never seems to be a single penny left for me.

That was

one beer,

please.

Great song.

Rocker is here.

He is one.

Yeah,

Scott's a little punky, a little reggae, but always a great horn section.

Yeah,

that was fun.

So that's Scott.

You know what?

Have you ever heard of Bad Wolf?

They were

a

Madison band back in, gosh, the 90s, maybe even the late 80s.

And after reunion shows in 2007 and 2008, the band members, they pursued other projects for a while, Lube, Angels and Outlaws, some really popular bands.

And then in April of 23,

Bad Wolf Reunited for a musical celebration of life for Kenny Gonzo Keith, the singer for Metal Gons, Final Thunder, and Predators.

He was loved here in Madison.

And the band loved playing together.

They got back together.

with your

knees.

I've never felt at ease with myself where I am Stole some eyes to cut some tears Left bartering with rules Praying they all once were land Do you really find Resolution from watching The minute hand you write up to the rind Is a prayer that keeps you tied Productive survival With the proof that the soreness provides

What I know is this moment is eating me alive Fixing seams and ironing out Reputation of sleep, middle seat With the windows down Out of reach and highest bow Turning beadbread
