Brainiacs enjoy the poem “A Message from the Other Side of the Stage“ by Ale Gasso

I know you don’t
wanna meet
your idols

grim and beaten
from years too loud

an uneven familiarity
with the stage

feigning memories
brought by you
in excited conversation
always hurried
by that
wandering
eye

something better
lingers
behind
where you can’t see

an old friend
a fresh drink
a shot

face first into toilets
when you’re gone
encouraged by
ravaged friends
from the same
old road
they’ll be riding down
tomorrow

sometimes that lack
of conversation’s
all they want

the stillness

everything you miss
when you dream

too big.
