BEEN
DOWN SO LOW IT NOW SOUNDS GREAT
by
Bradford Middleton
The down-low is here
and boy does it
Sound good, hell great
even, as the guitar
Wails with an insanity
I love & the
Voice just comes out
of the blue violating
Everything in sight
with a scream that
Leaves even me startled
as it ricochets
Around my room &
no doubt bringing
Great annoyance to my
upstairs neighbour!

can’t remember, but it was in a basement, and she was well received. She is the Assistant
Art Director for Yellow Mama.
