Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

I want a considered life
not a random pile of years
sitting in the corner of a messy room
not some forgotten snapshots mildewing
in shoe boxes in the dank cellar

I want to have some say in the matter
but not confessions from a lab rat
that pretends to be a victim
when all the while he knows a little nudge
of his head will open the unlocked cage door

i want to do things on purpose
because i've meditated on their merits
I want to embody perpetual motion, be
the personification of kinetic energy

I want to be the silver balls hung by strings
clanking into one another with the lofty goal of infinity
I want to be the movement, the action
and when a friend invites me over for a visit

I never want to say
I'm too tired,
I'm too busy,
the house really needs a good cleaning

i'd like to watch those strings
tying bells to the great unknown
and hear the harp strings

yes, I want that,
the perpetual motion ocean,
a crazy note hanging onstage,
channeling the mad jazz smoke,
yes, yes, I wanta have a say!
yes, leave the house be.

saw!
you're on a roll ...

take your shoes off
no shoes in the house
less cleaning
tired-of living with other ppl

doin wash

writin
chkin out samurai movie
responding to poems
interacting with poets
a pleasure
hell its why we're all here

always inspiring my friend...
