Backwards
09/25/2026 By Joy Lynn Clark Lyrics From Backwards Uglier than the feo fish in my Spanish bookKids in my class know how that lookLike to bite so many rhymes I tookI am hard like goose downI’m so fly I’m on the groundLike my music quietTell the truth you buy itThis is proof like zeroAt this thing I’m not a proI’m not dressed nowhere to goNot a star ain’t got no showI’m so dim I have no glowI am choppy with no flowWhen It’s green I just don’t goRadioactive I don’t blow You backwards thinkingYou really sickDid you take your medicine?You might need a pharmacistI’ll write you a prescriptionBut I got…

Dazee’s Blues
9/3/2026 By Joy Lynn Clark A couple of weeks ago I got a phone call from New York. It was the medical examiner who needed me to identify my child. “Do I need to come there?” I asked. “No, I can send you pictures” the medical examiner explained. “Do you have some identification?” I questioned. “Here is a copy of my ID badge” the ME answered. As I looked at the badge photo via MME message, I kept thinking to myself, “Is this real?”. The Examiner sent me some seemingly secure authorization emails. I was hesitant however; I gave authorization so that I could view the photos. Next, I got…

Beach Glass
By Joy Lynn Clark 04/18/2026 It was the summer of 2004 or 2005 when I met my son’s father at the studio. I had never worked with my step niece-cousin before but I was excited. I called her my cousin because we were the exact same age even though she was my step niece really. People would shake their heads as I tried to explain to them that she is my stepbrother’s half sisters stepdaughter. She had just moved to the north side of Chicago from Toledo OH. When we arrived at the studio, we were stuck in the waiting area because the last group was still in session. My…

Strange Case
By Joy Lynn Clark 09/06/2025 In spring of 2019 soon after the rains, I decided to lease a studio in the Mellwood Arts Building in Louisville. The space was very industrial and home to several arts groups. My studio was nestled between a dance, pottery, and wax studios (candlemaking). I had just recently met the potters assistant and she said something like, “in training”. I never met the candle maker but, I saw those dancers all the time at first. I ended up deciding to work the graveyard shift after my foul debut singing, “Prostitute” at the very top of my lungs. “Oops” I think to myself as the ballerinas…

The Pathway (to Peace)
3/28/2025 By Joy Lynn Clark Some people still do not know this. On the other hand, I only know how to access it with a PC so, if you are a Mac good luck. CTRL+ALT+Delete Task Manager Processes and Details Next remove any files that end in .COM (the communication file) you may want to click on it and have a listen – yep that annoying crap you’ve been hearing forever. Also, remove Com Surrogates and Com Aggregators – another annoying communications file. Yay! If you have a Mac and you can get into your processes and tasks you should also give this a try.

The Camera
May 21st 2022 By Joy Lynn Clark Tez, Shystie and I went lots of places together. We did spring break in New Orleans and Miami. We did different night club gigs, Shystie and I both modeled, Tez and I performed in addition to our promo jobs and, of course I had school too. I usually took the camera that my granddad gave me to events to take club pics. I noticed that because I am always shooting, I am never in any of them. I reached out to a fellow art school kid in the photography program and she came and shot our runway show. My little camera came up missing like…
