a candle-lit ritual

some rip off clothes and chant to the moon
others don sweet bedshirts and cheat sleep
fool the sandman, pretend dream
and then take off to impossible planetary streams

i was told once that during the night
there is time to study
i can hurry enlightenment
if i only jump on the nighttrain
and land at the station called dream school

no need for light
for words will penetrate
teachings will osmosis their wealth onto me

if only i jump on the train
forsake sleep
and sign up for higher planetary studies

i bought no ticket
i stayed away
i fell asleep

and now i lag behind that cosmic choochoo
barely hearing the engine chug
as my dreams stubbornly cling to my mind
an earth-laden heap of blankets
a block of uninspired mass
pretending i attended class

some where in this rich power full country on Christmas day a child starved to death, true story, there was a feast going on, real party. But the the little boy was not invited. They took him to he hospital in a coma. But he died. The coroner said he had been starved to death.

He is the metaphor of the invisible waif

don't look over your shoulder
there's a waif on every corner
today painted in grey and black
tomorrow in starlight and mischief

a waif, a lone child
playing out a life that life's tossed out
a roll of the dice
a bad hand
a foul throw

don't look now
for if you look
you become waif
life laughs a last chuckle

a shadow shakes down an unclear road
as waifs line up
each alone, together loners

Karmic dice
a waif, a lone child
playing out a life that life's tossed out
a roll of the dice
a bad hand
a foul throw



Mr. Rat's on the stairway,
Mr. Junkie's lyin' in his own vomit on the floor
You gotta roll with the punches, little black boy
That's what you got to do
You got to roll with the punches
Tap it baby Randy Newman
It is a red white and blue Christmas
Loaded dice and a marked deck
It is a man’s world
And it is time for a new shuffle a new deck a new deal
Waif to a man with a gun in his hand
Every mother’s son has got to cry today

we cry and then we breathe
and then we laugh
and then we breathe

it's a rhythmic emotional pow-wow
and we circle on and on

A circle dance of life
We dance alone
We dance in pairs
We dance in circles
We hold our breath and make a wish
We take our last breath
But no one looks in that mirror
That can not tell a lie
Life is beautiful
Life pours out its abundance
And a few do very well, thank you
He who has the most toys wins
And then dies between
immaculate conception
and
Conspicuous consumption

And tax cuts don’t hurt a bit.
Avarice rules, money talks
But walk on by
Cause we trust in god

We’re captive on the carousel of time
We can’t return, we can only look behind
From where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game

the candle flickers
silent night grows darker
then a star explodes
a fatherless child is born
a daughter this time
no miracles
just Parthenogenesis



I am man of one song tonight
beating a dead metaphor
http://www.studioeight.tv/musicpost/littlebaby.mp3
going to keep playing it cause there is still time

what ever holiday we celebrate in the west is always a male it seems, is God made in man's image? Is this the night we ask questions as the angel of death passes over us.

I don't know no goddesses, , I don't want no gods either, I want sanity, I want the got dam human race to grow up. Is that too much to ask. I believe, I do believe in spooks said the cowardly lion

no rhyme no google just this
but music do make the words go down
but the tippy tappy finger sounds ain't bad either
got a beat I can dance too

the candle flickers
a season of hope
when some lose their faith
the tinsel and gift wrap can't hide their despair
when the merry becomes grotesque
a seasonal dysfunction
a festival of lights
and bloody emergency rooms
I play along
I want to believe
The woman with the smile and the good news
about the reason for the season
I want to believe
I play along
I do believe in spooks
In christmas future
What a crock
christmas meant nothing to me as a child
As an adult I figure it this way
If I could have one perfect day
One day where I did everything right
One day when I did not say an unkind word
A day of love and peace and friendship
A day I could build a perfect year around
I been saying this to myself for years. Going to hard to work up to it this year, but there is still twenty one days to go

The Candle flickers,
Christmas past

Out on the road on Christmas was the best holdaze I had
Always volunteered to take that last load to LA. All the drivers with families wanted to be home
But I loved the empty roads, the quiet CB radio,
The empty truck stops
The sweet anonymity and solitude
It felt right; it felt like it should, on the road with 18 wheels homing home sweet home
Then it was all gone. And I was lost because men become addicted to the grind
At that low point I stumbled on litkicks like a precious gift.
I nearly sitting in a room with no heat, shivering and typing, Christmas 2000

Christmas 1999
The last Christmas
Doomsday is here
It comes like a thief in the night
My check book crashes due to a Y2K problem on the date line
Shenandoah Valley, travel trailer by a small lake the year the geese stayed put for the winter. Dinner at Jitterbug’s house. Went to work at midnight for the same reason I drove on Christmas.

Christmas 2006
Where will I be
Same place
Right here
I have lost the fever
I have nailed my shoes to the kitchen floor
If I could have anything I wanted next Christmas
It would be next Christmas
Give me Christmas for Christmas
A gift of one more year
Why do I want to live another year
Well there are sunrises
How long since I have seen one
The Candle Flickers
three forty five am
about three hours, will I see this one. Or catch it tomorrow?
Why else do I want another Christmas for Christmas?
Don't need any other reasons except maybe a full moon, a starry night, and morning glories.
And maybe the best Christmas gift I could ask, the impeachment of George bush and a guilty verdict.

But I want it now

Was it the December that John Lennon died that Time Magazine had the issue with the plain black cover that said, "1980 the last christmas" Imagine there was no christmas. Could the world be any worse off"

But the wharehouses are full of merchandise, there are crops in the field out in California, consumer confidence is high
But the writting is on the wall, we are doomed,
sooner or later if the comet don;t get us the
magnetic pole shift will,
if not that then avian flu with a sideorder of small pox and plague. But the sun is coming up in a couple of hours and the candle is still lit.
Another messiah is born, this time a woman.
But by the time she reaches maturity the polar ice caps will have melted
What is the point
We are such efficient multipliers
so a couple of million die off here and there
Life is so abundant
After the flood, after the fire, after the whimper
comes death and taxes
Silly man
How can you doubt
this is reality
concrete and steel
main frame computers burried under mountains
Have no fear
Your bill for food water and shelter is in the mail with out fail
THere will be a chirstmas 2125, and 4251
Only this time the messiah will look a little different
Red eyes and dragon scales
have a merry little christmas
and enjoy
how often due you get to ride on christmas day?
.
dam this is bad Doreen eight posts should I merge them into one?
the candle started to flicker and I kept posting.

Christmas 1984, Alamo Rose is dead since thanksgiving.
Off the road to be with her at the end
Working local and out of the blue
a trip to LA.
A chance to see the ocean.
Long Beach, I had forgot the ocean has a voice
Listening smelling feeling, alive
It was a very good christmass


sorry
last one
no music in these words
I was hoping to hear the music
but just a flickering flame on that candle
a trick of the light
time to go
