PORTFOLIO FOR EMU APP
CREATIVE WRITING MA 
A pair of song lyrics for each of two mixed-media projects were included in my official portfolio. Their audio files (plus the mp3 for "Mr. President") were emailed to Robert Halpern.
All audio files (including additional songs for the mixed-media projects) are available on this page. Below are the lyrics of the additional songs not found in the submitted portfolio but included in the "Portfolio Supplement" sound file list. These songs are still incomplete "demos." Although I do not enjoy sharing unfinished work, these are at least complete enough to represent their respective projects fairly for this portfolio. You can also download the files in their full resolution by visiting the downloads page.

MIXED-MEDIA SUPPLEMENT
"We Could All Die Tonight" (Defeats the Porpoise)
“Doctor! Can’t you tell me how to get home to see my mother?”
The doctor says, “She ain’t at home. Now, Johnny, you’ve been gone too long. Your mother is...dead and gone. I’m sorry, this just ain’t your home.”
“Doctor! What the hell has happened here? The world ain’t over...but I can’t deny it’s looking near.”
Then Doctor says, “You’re right, I fear.”
“Oh, we could die tonight!”
“We could all die tonight!”

"Can You Feel It in the Nighttime" (The Life & Times of Peter)
Can you feel it in the night time? Can you feel it every day? Can you take another moment of living our lives this way?
There’s a place that I’d like to show you.
It’s a place that I often go to.
But I’m never gonna let you break my heart again. I’m never gonna let you break my heart again.
We can tear away from this life, leap into another time. Cuz I can’t take another moment of living a life that isn’t mine!
But I’m never gonna let you break my heart again. I’m never gonna let you break my heart again.
Why don't we rob some pawnshops and then we'll bury all the guns and golden jewelry. Where do we go...where do we go...where do we go if we fall in love?

"Like We Said We Would" (The Life & Times of Peter)
If someone needs some help I’m gonna give them a hand. How can anybody do anything less than that? That shit’s so crazy!
Oh, what do you do when your back’s up to the wall? Just forget it all. Just forget it all!
Like we said we would.
Like we said we would.
Like we said we would.
Like we said we would.

"Keep It Going" (The Life & Times of Peter)
What do we do while the world is falling apart?
Just be the glue that you are.
I like the way that you dance because it’s sexy, but it’s not too sexy...you know what I mean. Ha-ha-whoo! I like the way that you are because you’re perfect, but you’re not too perfect...you know what I mean. Ha-ha-whoo!
All that time that you wanted me...all that time that you wanted to be free from all that awful stuff, cuz living just ain’t living up...
What do we do while the world is falling apart?
Just be the glue that you are.
Don’t ask those questions now.
Don’t even wonder how.
No need to think about.
Just keep it going now.
We keep it going now.
I’d like to take you to the mall because you’re lovely and we both got money so let’s spend it all. Ha-ha-whoo! Let’s get a color television because we're lazy but we’re not too lazy to ignore it all. Ha-ha-whoo!
All that time that you wanted me...all that time that you wanted to be free from all that awful stuff, cuz living just ain’t living up...
