the perception of youth lost
first to dust
then the needle
the past has a way
of finding you
thru your dreams
no matter what
thought I was going to
break the cycle
thru orgiastic fervor
I am a triumphant fool
roaring thru a tunnel
I swarmed up into
the alley
through a pot hole
now poetry is prayer
as I dream of kids
locked in washing machines
and guns in the palmetto
I hear the subtle Om
drifting almost silently
down a muggy alley
and calls on the phone
from Grandma

About Me
- Eric Michael Gibson
- Eric Gibson is an Baltimore, MD recording artist who writes, performs and produces his own unique brand of Alternative music. Eric was born in Richmond, VA, and raised in the mean streets of Gainesville, FL. He has been playing guitar, a variety of stringed instruments and keyboard since the early 90's. He has performed music, theatrical poetry readings, and performance art in venues all over Florida, DC, and Virginia.
His first exposure to Alternative music was when he was 13 after his parents gave him the Pixies album Bossanova they had gotten off of a subscription service. They had given it to him as a means of discarding it, but after hearing this strange new music Eric immediately decided he wanted to play guitar. After pleading with his parents they purchased a 30 dollar acoustic guitar at an Art Festival. When he had proven his natural ability, eagerness and willingness to learn he was given an electric guitar for Christmas the following year. He still uses the same guitar to record to this day.
