lyrics

Prickly little pear you
Thought nothing ever scared me
Well I can shake and I shiver too
I get to rest so rarely

And we knew that it might bend
Any day we could watch it break
Well prickly little pear
What would you call the new age?

Cats are catching the blue birds
And bodies crowd the culverts
Ask any hungry white herd
Everything's all over

You thought that you knew fear
You thought that you knew hate
Prickly little pear
Clap your hands: it's too late

When we tamed the buzzing field
You think it learned our names?
Brace your aching heel
Hide your aging face

Snatch anything that you might want
And who would stop us anyway?
We tamed the buzzing field
Get to call it Super House Gate

about

Joseph Mooradian Nashville, Tennessee

Joseph writes all the time and records some of the time.

His recent collection, Hummer, is about shootings, smiling, the plummeting bird population, laughing, and even (unfortunately/briefly) politics.

When he’s not writing/recording, he keeps busy in Nashville, TN, with domestic life: reading, walking, working on his house, cooking/eating, and watching plenty of stuff.
