Othertimes

Jake Tringali

sometimes i turn on the radio

othertimes the radio turns me on

sometimes i am a soaring joe satriani six-string solo

othertimes i am ringo's idiotic drum beats in let it be

sometimes i am sadly waltzing with matilda

othertimes i am caught in a mosh

sometimes i hurt myself today

othertimes i party party hard party hard party hard

sometimes i skip about town as the amen break beat

othertimes i am the neanderthal breakdown from in the air tonight

sometimes i think mickey looks so fine it blows my mind (hey mickey)

othertimes i think pablo picasso is an asshole

sometimes i am iggy pop’s wildman id

othertimes i am axel rose’s adolescent ego

sometimes i decorate myself sharp and dark as siouxsie sioux

othertimes I dress down to dirty flesh and blood as gg allin

sometimes I am the twenty-first measure discordant turn in strauss’s blue danube

othertimes i am the bubblegum rainbow intonation of twenty female j-pop singers

sometimes i oscillate between the two chords of jane says

othertimes i build mountains with frank zappa’s fractured tonalities

sometimes i’ve got my knees up to skank on the two and four

othertimes I take it to the bridge

sometimes i wave my hands in the air

othertimes i just don’t care
