    Though 
    Verse 1
    by 

    the path 
    lead 

    The passing 
    of 
    time 
    and 
    the 
    pouring 
    of 
    tea 

    Are 
    all 
    I've 
    lately 
    seen 

    my 
    soul 
    {SH 159} 

    Until 
    the 
    temporal 
    bridge 
    be 
    burned 

    Un
    til 
    our 
    anchor 
    stocks 
    hold 
    firm 

    Where 
    the 
    hands 
    of 

    clocks 
    don't 
    turn 

    my 
    soul 

    May 
    our 
    lips 
    remain 
    discreet 

    While 
    your 
    traps 
    are 
    beneath 
    our 
    feet 

    But 
    how 
    long 
    before 
    our tails 
    are 
    caught 

    By 
    our 
    "free" 
    thought? 

    Sugar 
    in 
    the cane, 
    candles 
    low 

    Kettle 
    on 
    the flame 
    for 
    the 
    teapot? 
    No 

    tremble 
    at 
    the thought 

    Sugar 
    in 
    the 
    cane, 
    candles 
    low 

    Southside 
    Flats 
    where 
    the 
    up
    scale go 

    tremble 
    at 
    the 
    thought! 

    On 
    Verse 2
    the Streets 
    of 
    Mexican 
    Wars 

    battle with 
    the memory 

    of 
    a first 
    fight 

    In our 
    con
    temptible 
    youth 

    quoted 
    White 
    Nights 

    "My 
    God, a mo
    ment of 
    bliss 

    Why, 
    isn't that 
    enough 
    for a whole lifetimes?" 

    F. Dostoevsky 

    Thinking 
    that'd 
    get 
    rid 
    of you 

    And 
    waited 
    with 
    a stone 
    in 
    my 
    hand 

    But 
    you 
    were quite 
    right 

    Nature 
    had 
    another 
    plan 

    (& failed 
    to 
    run 
    it 
    by 
    me) 

    Nature 
    had 
    another 
    plan 

    Some 
    other 
    sur
    rogate 
    self 

    To 
    live in 
    the sediment 
    of so 
    many 

    somebody 
    elses' 

    Innumerable 
    lives 
    and 
    you were 
    right: 

    It's 
    not 
    a person 
    who dies 

    But 
    world
    s die 
    inside 
    us, 

    Y. 
    Yevtushenko 

    Sugar 
    in 
    the cane 
    and 
    the 

    candles 
    are 
    low 

    On the 
    West 
    End 
    Bridge 
    looking 

    down 
    at 
    the 
    Ohio 
    River 

    tremble 
    at 
    the 
    thought 
    of 
    what's 

    often 
    referred 
    to 
    as 
    'karma' 

    The 
    sugar 
    and 
    the 
    candles 
    are 
    gone 

    You 
    panic 
    like 
    mouse 
    when the 

    lights 
    go 
    on 

    (I ADMIT, 
    IT 
    WARMS 
    MY 
    HEART 

    TO 
    WATCH 
    YOUR 
    WORLD 
    FALL 
    APART) 

    The 
    colorful 
    hills 
    talked 
    me 

    down 
    from 
    the 
    bridge: 

    To 
    heck 
    with 
    all 
    the 
    drugs 
    my 
    parents 
    did 

    I'd 
    like 
    to 
    meet 
    whoever 
    said 
    the 

    words 
    we 
    print 
    in red 

    With 
    a coin 
    in 
    my 
    teeth 
    on 

    the Mexican 
    War 
    Streets 

    Verse 3
    Rivers 
    of 


    sadness 
    and 
    mutual 
    need 

    In 
    the 
    loud 
    desperation 
    of so
    cial 
    routine 

    The 
    rock 
    of salvation, 
    lightly 
    esteemed 

    And 
    distance 
    surging 
    like 
    ocean

    s between 
    us 

    Suspended 
    by 
    strings 

    Over 
    rotating 
    wheels 

    Via 
    mag
    nets 
    and 
    springs 

    Of 
    Carnegie 
    steel 

    With 
    'representation' our fashionable 

    theme 

    And 
    unfathomably 
    powerful 
    forces 

    Like 
    ocean
    between 
    us 

    We 
    have all 
    the signs 
    we 
    need 

    Do 
    we decide 
    not 
    to 
    read? 

    "My 
    will: his will 
    that 
    fronts 
    me 

    Seas 
    between." (-James Joyce) 

    And those 
    who 
    precede: the 

    relation 
    between 

    Is 
    listening 
    be
    side 
    me 

    At 
    night 
    like 
    some 
    seismic 
    machine 

    While 
    the 
    metal 
    vibrations 
    of 

    petrified 
    men 

    Are etched 
    in 
    translation 
    by 

    pendulum 
    pens 

    And the 
    movement
    of 
    underground 
    plates 

    Do nothing 
    to 
    bridge 
    or 
    exacerbate 

    Oceans 
    between 
    us

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      "

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
