1.
Technicians know best, until the system sputters cracked code on the world. Omnivorous data discs gone hungry, huddled from the rain. Nodal bodies afraid to catch fire.
2.
People want to stay hidden and not mention any names After metallic nightshade cover-up: a gateway She took the tired and calloused and let them run their fingers all over Afterall, opening your door at the threat of Moses Sanctifies the home Beyond blood Beyond concrete. It will hold.
3.
Loveseat 03:20
we share chemical imbalances and affinities for broken things needles, grooves on records silence, sometimes sounds sublime the blinding dawn: elastic terrain voices - soft, and demons we have known to crawl out from each other’s throats I try my hand at vulnerabilities
4.
Prelude 02:22
The light always just missed your room - we left everything to the night. The phonograph that everyone has long since replaced was in its corner. We let the record run its course. Those distinct sounds - I still play for myself from time to time soon become static. Yet the fragments dance behind my eyelids. The girl who once drew you - she was kind enough to keep them intact. She was wise enough to fold them away for these inevitable days.
5.
“I see your virtue, but it must cradle itself. What you must learn about reassurance is simple: the familiar wink, euphoric smile, or lenitive hand completes itself. It’s that flash of invincibility, then continued dances in failure.”
6.
We did not come here to walk atop fragile skyscrapers. Our feet were firmly planted in ancient soils, weaving golden paths. We, who picked ripe black figs from our trees, made to beg - fed dreams and imitations from contaminated fingertips... Yet you would call us parasites?
7.
Supernova 05:10
Have you considered stepping aside from your soul?
8.
Love Cushion 03:01
Jazz is always comical Played mentally But after the slip on the bruised peel There’s a rash of laughter Then, two hungry smiles Snagged in cosmic disbelief. Amid the clatter of big deals over small drinks They disappear.
9.
For the Kids 04:45
Good luck.

about

After pondering the finest qualities of Gene Wilder, failed experimentation with crabcore, starts, stops, stagnation, and brief excursions through the wild west of a false antiquity, Data 91 return with a message for the kids.

We'd like to thank Fresh Tortilla (or is it Tex-Mex?) and Mr. Q's for feeding us throughout the writing process, our family and friends for their encouragement, and the borough that raised us: the Bronx. Our home’s stories are manifold and international. Without its open embrace uniting them all, we would have no sounds to play or words to write.

Shelda Zajmi screams total annihilation on "For the Kids"

Special thanks Ebba Zajmi-Gjergji, Shaira Chaer, Kassem Nasser, Jemma S. Dilag, Serge Varlay and all others who contributed to translations.
