Denny Carlson sent me another piece of his from his Berklee days.
Denny’s instrumental was called “Shimmering”
Hannah read her poem about freedom of speech.
Erick Hovey

lyrics

A word is just a word, unless you hurl it like a stone
But all these proper gentlemen, want me to atone
For using words, they do not like I am scolded like a child
But I am not a child you insipid fuck
I can use whatever words I’d like
Propriety is only a construct, not a golden truth
How delusional you must be to see only profanity
As you stand and denigrate me
A word is just a word
But even a dirty one is prettier than you
