About Me

"My broken Spanish, My broken German. I've given up on language. My mouth is no longer useful. It will be replaced by a series of chords. Not vocally the ones created by instruments. This way I shall not falter or stutter or lose my place. Thoughts will be coherent, clear and developed. Footsteps are no longer my only proof on existence I shall scream in your direction."Lawn & Factory consists of ten fingers. Sometimes these fingers are stiff and doubtful. But there are moments of clarity. His workspace is the corner of his bed. Lawn & Factory works at a bank but would rather not go into that.Lawn & Factory eats way too much cereal. He is uptight and worries this bio is a bit much. He is really not this serious. Lawn & Factory has an aversion to the word "goddess". It makes him shutter.

Sneakers for the Non-Athletic

In the car, on the way to New Haven.  My father's breath is filling up the vehicle.  Feeling pushed up against my seatbelt like a single aunt's smothered hug.  Will someone release...
