	Track 14 features the Musitronic 101 Music Learning Module manufactured by Wurlitzer. It’s a plastic 70’s polyphonic organ. I bought it cheap on eBay in the early aughts. 

I won the auction & sent a money order to the seller’s post office box in a small Texas town, but the organ never came. At six weeks, I began sending letters. After a few months of no response, I started scrawling a word in red ink to the envelope as well, like “Thief” or “Criminal.” 

The MLM arrived shortly thereafter. The song came around in 2013.

Progress (lost-&-found home recording # 5)

Take a side, but there’s nowhere left to be: who we've been struggles to be heard just beyond the blackouts, eluded or embraced long enough to leave a lasting mark; giving in to sheltered vows until wrested from the bellows wheezing in the shade, crossing as the coded sermons end the same.

The telling time has seen you splitting with the stunned solutions, just refusing. 

Remember where they're from & fasten up, waging on the years.

We move ahead forever from before to linger in the stirring progress of the pack, frozen to the fever of statues swinging back.
