"WHAT WERE WE"
By Cokie
What were we, but analogue solutions
to digital problems in fugitive states?
Our youthful obscurity used in factory formation,
the concealed breeding of convulsions of hate,
forever frothing that poisonous weakness
disguised as a broken, hopeful fate.
Cokie has spent well over a decade behind a sniper rifle in service to the U.S. Marine Corps, various private military companies, and the almighty dollar. He has also spent time as a combat medic and a seminary student and now places his identity as a man who serves Christ and loves his wife and children.

Haven’t caught the one man jazz fusion orchestra known as Rich Johnson’s Ignite A Noise? Well, you’re in luck because we have him live and in person twice this month, starting tomorrow at 7PM!
Take a gander down the steps at 139 Main St and we’ll see ya then.
