The Dusty Footed Philosophers 

return LIVE, IN THE RAW to explain it all in a NOT way.

A solid hour of the classic sauce:

Headline Losers: 30K Tech Layoffs

Headline Winners: ...still hunting.

A Poem -- Naomi Shihab Nye

We forget that we are all dead men conversing with dead men.

                                                                  —Jorge Luis Borges

For the first time, on the road north of Tampico,

I felt the life sliding out of me,

a drum in the desert, harder and harder to hear.

I was seven, I lay in the car

watching palm trees swirl a sickening pattern past the glass.

My stomach was a melon split wide inside my skin.

“How do you know if you are going to die?”

I begged my mother.

We had been traveling for days.

With strange confidence she answered,

“When you can no longer make a fist.”

Years later I smile to think of that journey,

the borders we must cross separately,

stamped with our unanswerable woes.

I who did not die, who am still living,

still lying in the backseat behind all my questions,

clenching and opening one small hand.

A. Riddle

The Moon is my father,
          the Sea is my mother;
          I have a million brothers,
          I die when I reach land.

What Happened?

What's Gonna Happen?

A Theme Song

"We're gonna walk to the Water"
