Dreamscape - Martha Cinader
Buckley.
Dreamscape
I am floating down the aisle,
of the temple of the Holy Spirit of the Universe.
I am surrounded,
by the light of the knowledge of my ancestors.
Pillars of books, all the books, in all the languages, reach for
the arch of the sky.
Images wrought more fine than reality turn mystic keys to
the doors in my eyes.
Everyone I know is here.
Everyone who ever
held me in a trance
made me want to dance
fed my starving soul
turned a black hole
into a dream.
Everyone is listening.
There’s Duke and Monk and Bud, rapturous.
Sassy Sarah is talking to Chopin,
Johanne is slapping Art Tatum on the back.
There’s Charles Dickens stroking his beard and
Virginia Woolf writing in her notebook.
Langston Hughes is tying his shoes.
Louis Latimer
is floating on a pillow with Einstein.
Malcolm and Gandhi and Leonardo
are lapsing philosophically
by the riverbank.
Van Gogh is painting Coltrane’s portrait.
Everyone is listening.
Listening to sweet music,
happy pure born from the earth
and the wind and the water
living in the air we breathe
kind of music.
I climb a marble stairway
to a balcony
crowded humming and joyous.
Thin trails of smoke rise
from the rafters.
I look to see.
My peers are smoking
a peace pipe
and I join the sacred ceremony.
I walk through a crowd
of beautiful men
and brave women
to the very edge of a balcony
and look down.
I look so far down into emptiness
tipping dangerously over the edge
almost losing my balance
in contemplation of the whole big scary cares nothing about
little old me goes on beyond the possibility of my
imagination to conceive it entirely time gobbling monster
that grants this little ego in a bag of skin and bones only
the tiniest moment that can’t even be seen on the scale of all
time to figure out what I am here to do and do it,
which reminds me I have to go.
I turn around and see
Everyone is looking at me.
I realize that I am not alone.
The Earth is my home after all.
A single note rises sweetly
above the symphony
and informs my soul
of joy
bitterness
hope
purity
sorrow
visions
and dreams.
I leap into the air
and float slowly to the ground
like a leaf.
I look around.
Where is everyone?
What was that sound?
Lord Buckley
Every passing moment was a cause for celebration in the life of Lord Buckley. He swung every minute of every day of his life. He found thrills and vicarious thrills and if he couldn’t find them he created them. But the biggest thrill of all, for Lord Buckley, was to tell you a story you thought you knew until you heard him tell it.
His early experiences in show business, as an MC for dance marathons, gave him the ability to riff continuously, while everyone in earshot became his most willing followers, the most immaculately hip aristocrats of the twentieth century. No subject was beyond his non-stop humor.
Jesus became the Nazz
, Abe Lincoln became Lanky Link
and according to Lord Buckley Willy the Shake
wrote a speech in Anthony and Cleopatra
that begins with Hipsters, Flipsters and Fingerpoppin’ Daddies knock me your lobes...
All kinds of people dug Lord Buckley and still do today if they can get their hands on his recordings. My good friend and member of the inner court, Oliver Trager, is writing a book about him with quotes from all kinds of famous and infamous people who knew the man and hung on every last word that rolled off his tongue. Oliver told me this story about Lord Buckley.
"The notorious Chicago gangster Al Capone thought that the funniest man he ever met ought to have his own nightclub to perform in every night. So Al Capone opened a club called Chez Buckley. So along comes Big Al on opening night. He’s got a beautiful woman hanging off of each arm, dripping in jewels and fur, and all his buddy cats fall in behind him, and each of them has their own beautiful trophies hanging on their arms. They all know they’re going to have a good time, and hoping they’re not going to die laughing, because big Al has already warned them that Lord Buckley is the funniest guy in the world.
"Lord Buckley steps out on the stage and says his little thank yous and gets them all warmed up with a few giggles and smiles from the beautiful ladies, which makes their men proud, knowing that these ladies are with the hippest, slickest cats around.
"So then Lord Buckley asks each of these sweet flowers for their fur coat, and each of them hands their fur coat over, knowing that Lord Buckley is the funniest guy in the world and he’s going to do something really hip now that’s going to make them all feel even jollier than they’re already feeling.
"Lord Buckley gets the very last one from a big, buxom, blonde with cherry lips, and she gets up and gives him a little kiss while she hands him her mink, cuz she just couldn’t help herself. He was that kind of guy. Then he gets up on the stage, puts all the
