The Tipping Point

The rains have saturated the grounds upon which they exist

40 days and 40 nights, musical mediocrity

Filling every crack of our space, no more

The kids have been packed to the tops of their lives

With hypnotic donkey rhythms

Believe that the sun will appear

On this 41st day and the dove will bring word

that art has not been drowned and life music

Will thrust its branches up from the mud of wackness

And begin to strangle the cousins of milli, vanilli

With mines of music, the Tipping point

The sounds have changed, the whispers of where we began

Invade out nostrils, like the smell of history’s future

The not quite art supernova today

So make us give you more and we will

The Tipping Point
