See, Andrea, now that
…rocks a heady noggin’
like an underwater hard
rock cabin jammin’
& liquored-up
tea house
grunge
trio…
that album’s
8th grade 2 me
ultimate frisbee
lyrics r always
personal, suit
some & boo
from oth-
ers. so
be it;
it’s
just poetry
it’s just breathing
A bookend version,
Just .for … variety
If skimming, see
the first and
last stanzas.
Namasté
..well wishes for an inspired/not inspired new year..
energies while on the path of action/non action
enjoy/not enjoy that .family. of yours mate,
as do I mine when not teetering on the edge
of occam’s razor.blade knife and jazz.ensemble.
cheers!
Sláinte … bottoms-up … over & out….
~~Windu’s out the window [in the 21st century]~~
Although I’ve never really been a fan of
Star Wars, the way the world is going it’s
beginning to resemble the more dire aspects of
the world according to George Lucas; i.e.,
Darth Sidious: Once more, the Sith will
rule the galaxy, and we shall have peace.
Oh, the direct irony of that congenital blueblood ire
Yep, the meek shall inherit the big green weenie.
Repub/Democ, matters not. The status quo
knows no humanity, nor humility, nor balance
of energies; …subservience is law.
Like a savvy cat once said:
Liberty lies & refugees
Go ahead and deny it with your Grand Ol’
deniability and spin, as yours will and will again
& again by rote; but once, if only once, step back
and look past the din @ the spin we’re in.

The monkey sat on a pile of stones
And he stared at the broken bone in his hand
And the strains Viennese quartet
Rang out across the land
The monkey looked up at the stars
And he thought to himself
Memory is a stranger
History is for fools
And he cleaned his hands
In a pool of holy writing
Turned his back on the garden
And set out for the nearest town
Hold on hold on soldier
When you add it all up
The tears and marrowbone
There's an ounce of gold
And an ounce of pride in each ledger
And the Germans killed the Jews
And the Jews killed the Arabs
And Arabs killed the hostages
And that is the news
And is it any wonder
That the monkey's confused
He said Mama Mama
The President's a fool
Why do I have to keep reading
These technical manuals
And the joint chiefs of staff
And the brokers on Wall Street said
Don't make us laugh
You're smart kid
Time is linear
Memory's a stranger
History's for fools
Man is a tool in the hands
Of the great God Almighty
And they gave him command
Of a nuclear submarine
And sent him back in search of
The Garden of Eden
~~Roger Waters~~
Can't you see
It all makes perfect sense
Expressed in dollars and cents
Pounds shillings and pence
Can't you see
It all makes perfect sense
Little black soul departs in perfect focus
Prime time fodder for the News at Nine
Darling is the child warm in the bed tonight
Hi everybody I'm Marv Albert
And welcome to our telecast
Coming to you live from Memorial Stadium
It's a beautiful day
And today we except a sensational matchup
Bur first our global anthem
Can't you see
It all makes perfect sense
Expressed in dollars and cents
Pounds shillings and pence
Can't you see
It all makes perfect sense
And here come the players
As I speak to you now the captain
Has he cross hairs zeroed on the oil rig
It looks to me like he's going to attack
By the way did you know that a submarine
Captain earns 200,000 dollars a year
Oh that's less tax Marv less tax
Uh thank you Emery you're welcome
Now back to the game he fires one yes
There goes two both fish are running
The rig is going into a prevent defense
Will they make it I don't think so
Can't you see
It all makes perfect sense
Expressed in dollars and cents
Pounds shillings and pence
Can't you see
It all makes perfect sense
~~
that and the grave that the modern world
craves: The power to pattern men
&…secure inspiration in chains.
Leaves us fighting each other
For airspace and ohms
&
Shelter from the sun
In a place we
Call home
