    "Nature is a temple whose living colonnades

    Breathe forth a mystic speech in fitful sighs;

    Man wonders among symbols in those glades

    Where all things watch him with familiar eyes."

    Baudelaire

    FORGETTING WHAT OF WHATEVER

    Where did I hear the world is your oyster

    Is the world man’s oyster or pearl?

    The oyster’s dirt makes the pearl

    The world is your oyster

    Love’s logic . . . go figure a pearl . . .

    In the do-see-do of time

    O.K.

    The world is your oyster.

    What does it mean?

    . . . Go irritate it

    . . . Go make a pearl

    . . . Go get caught and eaten

    . . . Go be a Rockefeller on a half-shell

    . . . Go make something from nothing

    . . . Dirt to pearl

    Oh well.

    Another piece of folk logic my life was bent upon.

    Another grand moment of irrational alchemy.

    Yet I sort of thought I got it when I heard it a long time ago.

    What happened to me along the way?

    I wish I still got it.

    Well if the wish is the father of all thought, I wish I knew what of whatever I lost.

    I say and think what of those beliefs and what of those desires.

    Ephemeral. Illogical. Unreal. And, I know, they are in fact untrue.

    They don’t exist under logic, yet, why do they work?

    I get it. Ideals are needed. Not because they are real but, because they are unreal. And because they disclaim themselves in each claim. They are that slushy irritant that makes the pearl. I’m beginning to see it get back there. I hear a voice, be careful what you rub against.

    I start to think I don’t need much rationality here. What I need is predictability. Not designed rationality. I know most folk tales cannot live up to their own expectations, some woggle in the logic, can’t get through to reality. But that language, tells a lot. It tells how language is really the last tool of the brain. I feel cognitive virtue might be overrated. I’ll approximate.

    I’ll operate against an ideal yet to be… a dream I saw once of me as something bigger than life . . . An imperfect-perfection called an ideal. It might be just a slushy grip on this thing, but I’m not letting go.

    Start with

    A wish

    And then the thought

    And then I am.

    Bingo.

    They say alchemist had the skill to seed, nourish, bring to maturity desired spirits in mattered in living things. There were four-spirits they directed in this hope. Using an old kinematics, a motion between mass and bodies, made by words and deeds, they provoked a belief based on observation of the things as they were, and then willed it to be what it was to be any way. They aligned the things it-ness. Not much of a science, helping something be what it would be, but a lot smarter than trying to talk until your blue in the face to rearrange the lily’s, if you know what I mean. It’s a false thing to think we know.

    Introspective certainty is certainly false too. And then to describe me as a sum of functions, is short sighted, there’s a lot that goes on that’s not functioning. We do what we do, and as a rule, in the easiest way we can. We get back to what we want to be, do, are. We get to our it-ness. After having rubbed ourselves half raw. Ah-ha!

    The oyster or the pearl.

    Child Within

    11.20.76

    Come my child and you shall see

    This light inside of me

    So bright in appearance

    Ethereal is its being

    It comes not from the land we live

    For cosmic is its place

    Its journey has no ending

    Yet itself a common face

    You see once upon a time I was a child

    And my parents thought it wise

    To teach me of this wisdom

    So that I might reach the sky

    Well I listened and I understood

    But their words didn’t seem to apply

    Down my road I did traverse

    Walking toward my fate

    Pride selfishness and the lack of love

    Were the nearest to the gate

    They seemed to follow my every move

    And I couldn’t see why

    I was so blind then I let them take me for a ride

    Well I landed by some water’s edge and I took a look with in

    Life was floating before my eyes

    But I was standing still

    There seemed to be a better way

    So I opened up my soul

    My blindness then eluded me

    And I knew which way to go

    So let me pass this on to you

    Just as my parents did

    To only see the light of life

    You have to look within

    So come my child and you shall see

    This light inside of me

    So bright in appearance

    Ethereal is its being.

    So let me pass this on to you

    Just as my parents did

    To only see the light of life

    You have to look within

    Lonely Willow

    The willow is blowing and babies are crying

    And Momma’s saying

    It’s not time for you to

    Come on home

    So don’t come after me

    Cuz your time ain’t yet baby

    And this kingdom will wait you will see

    Cuz there will I come and play

    Oh yes I’ll play them a hushed melody

    Upon one thousand tresses long

    So tell those babies not to weep

    The family tree is strong strong strong

    Well Mama’s under the willow tree

    So hush those little babies

    Playing while her children are singing

    Your times a coming you will see

    So tell those babies to hush their crying eyes

    And gather up all her children’s blue

    Holding up their hands and making circles around you

    Yeah

    Well momma is playing the blues whoa

    So blue up under her glowing lonely willow tree

    Yeah

    So there I will come and play

    Whoa yes

    I will play them a hushed melody

    Upon one thousand tresses long

    So tell those babies not to weep

    The family tree is strong

    Strong strong

    And the willow is blowing and the babies are crying

    We Were Almost There

    02.01.07

    There’s no one on top all set to go

    We played that hand that was given

    We did our best and we didn’t know

    The world’s most sorrowful unrest

    No one on top no rules to stop

    This wheel of life you know

    While doing for them what you loved

    Our kill joys ways leached the soul

    With clouds as friends I walked the shore

    Slowly surf in my toes

    Each day the ocean tossed a story away

    Sea shells fell from her clothes

    Two solo hands their journeys end

    As surfs the metronome

    Tuned my soul to a times a coming

    Well Buddha bells were falling

    Well Buddha bells are calling

    Well lonely hearts there a falling

    Where the loneliest days I’ve ever known

    Lied waiting

    No one on top no rules to stop

    This wheel of life you know

    While doing for them what you loved

    Their kill joy ways leached the soul

    I missed my days to visit her bed

    Push concrete dreams already dead

    Today tonight words sublime test

    Our restlessness can wait

    I walk the surf

    The new dawns light

    Clouds as friends that move left to right

    And concrete castles tumbling down

    Our sandy dreams rumbling’ round

    With clouds as friends I walked the shore

    Slowly surf in my toes

    Each day the ocean tossed a story away

    Sea shells fell from her clothes

    Two solo hands their journeys end

    As the surfs metronome

    Tuned my soul to times a coming

    Well Buddha bells were calling

    Well Buddha bells were falling

    Well hallow voices were calling

    While the loneliest days I’ve ever known

    Lied waiting

    Walk the surf the new dawns light

    Clouds as friends that move left to right

    And concrete castles tumbling down

    Sandy dreams rumbling round woa oh wao

    Round

    Around

    Stoned Black Cat

    Momma

    I’ll tell you mom

    Don’t worry about me

    I read it in a grave patch

    Baby I know about them kinda places

    Most people know how to fear

    Haunts and sprits and dead cats

    Haunts and sprits and dead cats

    Haunts and sprits and dead cats

    Are going where she’s a going

    And they ain’t ever coming back

    There’s a work amid that kind of bareness

    In places most people won’t be caught

    That’s what keeps them quiet do as their taught

    But I’ll take my six years of this seven years of that

    And blood running chill cuz

    I heard this all from a stoned black cat

    I tell you don’t worry about me

    I read it in a grave patch written in white ash

    Each face placed upon that poor women’s grave

    That day she died we all died too oh man

    A few boards would creak

    the blood runs weak

    And God there was strangeness in the air

    Pale blue blushes on skin so fair

    I’ve got a few words words and empty deeds I’d like to tell

    I’ll take six years of this seven years of that

    Blood running chill from a stone black cat

    I’ll tell you baby don’t worry about me

    I read it in a grave patch written in white ash

    Tear Drops

    Tear drops

    My love is falling like a rain

    Pouring pouring like teardrops

    Teardrops rolling down on my face

    Baby you’ve done me wrong

    I can’t take it down so long

    Tear drops

    Falling

    Love’s falling down like rain

    Teardrops soft and slow

    Off my face they roll

    Tear drops

    Falling

    Falling so slow

    Tears drops puddle at my feet

    Love’s puddle surrounding me

    Oh baby you’ve gone and taken the sun away

    Don’t ask me to make any sunshine for you today

    You’ve taken all the sun away

    And you’ve brought me these rainy days

    All these falling hard

    Falling hard

    Baby these tear drops

    Oh baby Tear drops

    Are falling

    Falling hard off my face

    Teardrops

    Falling down my face like rain

    Baby you’ve gone and taken the sun away

    Don’t ask me to make any sunshine

    No way!

    How Can You Say No

    How can you say no to a woman?

    You’ve said yes to all your life

    When that girl is everything

    Was everything

    How can you say no to that face?

    Wanting to say yes

    But no is best

    Wanting to say yes

    But knowing no is better

    I place my faith

    I put my heart on a bigger faith

    Anything else

    Anything else I would rather do

    I can be here a thousand times

    I can say yes a thousand times

    I put my heart on a bigger faith

    And I’ll grow this way not that

    And I’ll blow this way not that

    And I’ll place my faith on a bigger place

    And I’ll wait for you to ask

    Wanting to say yes but no is best

    Wanting to say yes but knowing no is better

    I place my faith I put my heart on a bigger faith

    Anything else

    Anything else I would rather do

    I can be here

    I can say yes a thousand times

    And I place my faith

    I put my heart on a bigger faith

    You said yes to all your life

    And I say the answer to a thousand ways

    And I say its faith in a higher place

    And I make the No know that it’s no

    How can you say no to a woman?

    You said yes all your life

    When that girl is everything

    Was everything

    How can you say no to that face?

    Wanting to say yes

    But no is best

    Wanting to say yes but knowing no is better

    I place my faith I put my heart on a bigger faith

    Anything else

    Anything else I would rather do

    I can be here

    I can say yes a thousand times

    And place my faith

    I put my heart on a bigger faith

    Tell My Stories

    Tell my stories

    Tell my riddles in rhyme

    There’s a stage up in my mind

    The story starts with once upon a time

    The story starts

    With once upon a time

    Oh no one can pity me

    I’ve been a dreamer dear

    It will come to me

    All those things I tried to be

    In time I’d stand alone

    From the things I did

    Each guitar strum

    Each sweet harmony

    Not so clear not so bright all the time

    From when you were born

    From when you were born

    It will come to me to see all those things

    I tried to be

    When I tell my story

    In riddles and rhymes

    Upon a stage

    That starts with once upon a time

    How far am I from when I was born?

    Now?

    Now are you gonna cry about that? (Thanking Merke who made me see my words when she said—"—WOW!—say that again!)

    05.14.03

    You ready?

    I was sitting in a restaurant the other day and the news commen-hater

    He says does anyone feel sorry for him

    Are you gonna cry about that

    And I thought I might just cry about that

    I thought I might write a song that might just

    Make everybody want to cry about that

    I’m not sure how to sing it yet

    But here it goes

    And the news is teasing

    Taunting me

    Will this make you cry

    Will we fall for that?

    Oh yeah will we fall for that

    A Kentucky man

    Jumps through the window

    He’s still gonna get his pay

    But the glass slashes his jugular vein

    And to his death he’ll fall

    Falling hard blood pouring you’ll

    Lying cold he’s dead you know

    Nothing stolen but a soul

    Now are you gonna cry about that?

    Now are you gonna cry about that?

    An Atlanta man was running hard

    Busted flat cops on the wall

    In one jump a head falls off

    One man’s caught and cut

    His head speared upon a fence

    The final altar to his death

    Blood rains down the drain

    Now are you gonna cry about that?

    Now are you gonna cry about that?

    A mother cries as a baby is born one fine Christmas day

    Baby X gets wrapped away up in cellophane

    With yesterdays garbage Baby’s life is choked away

    That baby’s life was one short breath

    Baby’s gone in a one breathe day

    Now are you gonna cry about that?

    Now are you gonna cry about that?

    Now are you gonna cry about that?

    One more soldier of life is fallen

    One more soldier gone

    One more life damaged died unsaved and wasted

    Another soul is lost not saved

    But who’s counting anyway

    I mean

    Are you gonna cry about that?

    The phone rings in 911

    And a mother is on the line

    I’ve killed my three boy’s today hurry come quick

    They’re laying in the yard stoned to death you see

    With God on my side I can do anything

    Momma’s on a suicide watch

    Now we’re watching her

    While baby Aaron fights for life

    Are you gonna cry about that?

    Now are you gonna cry about that?

    Now are you gonna cry about that?

    And the news man taunting teasing me

    And I’m seven years old again

    I’m hearing it said again and again

    Will you cry about that?

    Cry baby, cry

    Will you cry about that?

    Cry cry, cry baby

    Will you cry about that?

    This Kinda Sound: Dead is dead

    05.13.03

    I’m supposed to try and sing some folk songs

    But I don’t sing folk you know

    People ask and I say it’s pretty clear

    I don’t know what music this is

    This music is singing me

    But I do know Folk is a writing style that emerges in time

    As the need for a sound is upon us.

    And ears don’t hear this kinda sound

    And Seems the heart hears this kinda strumming

    When hearts forget how to hear

    That’s when folk

    Sounds sound clear

    Folk messages simple and sweet

    Like try a little harder

    To think

    A little more of others and a little less of me

    Its simple sweetness serves the heart well

    And now that’s it’s been honed so well I see how those homeys do it

    How hate does it and they do it so well

    Its’ rapping at my heart simple and sweet

    Each poignant word so mean so deep

    Cuts like a knife

    Right through the heart

    No blood on the victims

    Death in the mind is where it starts

    Yea worlds are slayed easy

    Words are laid quick

    Jack be nimble Jack be quick

    Jack flying over the candle stick

    But this ain’t no fairy tale out here

    Life’s’ in the fulcrum, and hells on its way too

    Those words staccato come assaulting into my heart

    And I’ll offer my love it’s a shield it’s all

    I got when I was born

    Got when I was told

    I was the most precious thing in the world you know

    How my momma gave me that mighty sword

    Slaying all those words like Arthur’s court

    I ain’t letting my heart get crushed

    By all those words like mother fuck

    I’m over the need to give them space

    When the game is to extinguish the human race

    Each heart stomped to the core

    Got a language for that

    And leaders more

    Heartless souls can be used so well

    What the hell

    What the hell

    So I say humanity’s in the bough

    And the cradles about to break

    And who you gonna call anyway

    God busters have already had their day

    So they say I’m too old to be saying this stuff and I’m saying it just the same

    Cause can’t fancy a life without a heart

    And there are a lot of people living that way

    Love’s got me smitten with starlight brightest love

    And I really can’t believe in all this mother fuck hate shit

    I believe in the eternal dove

    Cause I don’t think we’ve come this far

    To see the heart feather and tarred

    Snuffing out the heart of the human race

    Makes the savage words we have what a disgrace

    More gruesome than altars of olden days

    Cause we pull out our hearts with words

    Short and flat

    Saying

    I don’t give a shit about this

    I don’t give a shit about that

    And I care which way it goes

    I say Demons
