I don’t know what I’m doin’ babe
I don’t know what I’m doin’ babe
I don’t know etc...
This is the first piece I wrote with composer and patron of the arts (namely for me and Nick) Dave Siegel. The title sums it up all right. It’s all subconscious night mare stuff from here on in. Let’s take a look inside shall we?
RELAX, BREATH DEEP AND HOLD
Close your eyes...relax...Breathe in deep and exhale slowly.
Clear your mind of all negative thoughts and concentrate
on your heart beat. Concentrate on this moment,
which you have set a side for yourself in the universe...
It is your space...Relax...Let white light seep into your soul...
Be open...it feels good - Relax...focus...breathe deep...
Let the white light transport you to a higher dimension...
You are here...
Imagine the warm soothing sensation of an crystal clear
emerald river caressing your feet, running through your veins,
circling your heart. Envision this emerald river flowing
through a forest of satin pillows and soft creatures...
Breathe deeper...faster.. deeper...relax...
See yourself approaching a clearing in the forest.
In the distance an enormous magnetic red rolling pin races
towards you, but you are not afraid...Relax...and float...
If a man with cake on his teeth materializes on your left and
hands you a bar-bell made of tofu, ignore him,
he is an earthly distraction you must be free of...
Relax...breathe deeper and hold....hold...
As the rolling pin gets closer think of all the tender moments
you've spent with a loved one. Remember those feelings
and how you thought they would never end... Never end...
Well they're ending now, but it's ok.
Just one more filling to go and you'll be out of here...
Here...Rinse...Spit...That's good...
IT'S OUT THERE (-)
It's out there feeding on itself.
Feeding on me - feeding and feeding.
It's following my every move.
My every meaningless move.
The nausea.
The decay.
The violation of all things sacred and true.
All that is pointless and dark and diseased approaching...
Unstoppable.
Unyielding.
Uninhibited.
Spreading feverishly through the chaos.
Exponential in all it consumes.
There is no exit.
No exception.
No secret place to hide.
It will have me.
It will have everything that ever was, is and will be;
right from any imagined start point
The life force - conceived to be infected with all of it's
hopelessness, it's lies, it's dispersing emptiness.
No god or infinite strong box can save me or you.
It has always been over.
Nothing more.
Nothing less.
It's over.
Cilla-Sigh-Been-Root’s brother, Farben Root aka Smokey Lee
Webster, goes for some serious root “canaling”. Under the influence
of sweet air, the sly grey alien disguised as New age dental
assistant T R I S H, does her best to comfort him but it’s no use.
She can not sell him a lie. He must face his awful abduction. As
the clasps, photon needles and drills tear into Smokey’s limp
b o d y , an existential corner of his brain opens up and P r e s t o n
Veeper Nicoles sneaks in and delivers the dark truth.

The results of too much nitrous oxide? Who knows? Smokey
Lee’s nightmare / (abduction?) now transports him nude on stage
as the opening act for the Pen Parker Band. The audience,
made up of many of Smokey Lee’s dead relatives, old girl friends,
high school savages and little GREY guys are loving it.
