Koan24, the stop-gap

Post by mnaz » December 20th, 2008, 8:30 am

Currently, life as it is,
like mass murder in Juarez,
like a higher plane than the last.
Life is as is, one mass murder to the next.
Sometimes we try not to.
Not a koan.

We are given mass murder.
We are reverent to mass murder.
In short we are given life through murder.
In short we are unevenly conscripted.
In short everything we know is war,
and your little koan too, Dorothy.

no need to moan and koan
with an all volunteer army
it is not our fault anymore.
even so Dorothy is pissed

Never drink whiskey and try to write a koan.
Doesn't seem to work, the drinkin' or tryin'.
or sometimes both in this case.
Never try to freeze ice either.

the anti-koan,
not very koan-like.
the pharisees tried to arm je-SUS,
but he be just strummin' like Joe Strummer.

whiskey is like a marching band,
sip it, a little at a time and it gets louder
lost in its own amber emoticon buzz..
because freedom ain't free,
that's where they got us..

Nothin' left to do but dance
revenge on the herky obscurity.
I'm puttin' on a David Byrne record,
That cat was lost in the mix, but had mic..
pull up the roots! Nailed it.

I'll go anywhere to to protect it.
Slam-a-slam-a-slam-a bong bong.
Issue me a rifle only if necessary.
"And the sound inside your mind
is playin' all the time, playin'
with a heart of steel'..
He could be the manager.
David Byrne, store manager.
I could see that.

But that ain't the blues.
It all happened so fast.
The blues don't happen so fast.
should have written this 24 years ago,
back when it made more sense.
