paperless jam

[stilltrucking]

later.

[the mingo]

wow Jack ya started a new jam didn't see it to just now man don't the flow just river on & on?...well now lets see gotta thump a new stump here get a rhythm on just love a thread 'cause ya never know the which way wind how's it gonna blow over the jamless paper -
eat drink & be merry
is a demon's tune
a song to dance into hell to
I gave it a glance saw it was the same lance
they drove into Christ to be sure he was dead
and blood & water came out of the wound
blood & water came out of the wound
and I know God brought me from the womb
to see this blood
to see this water
and in the seeing to know
how to go
how to pick up the good things
that had fallen to the ground
how to take them forward
chanting the good jam all the way

Title paperless jam inspired by judih reply to wireman


“this place for jamming and letting thoughts out on paper as they come.”



I hope she don't mind the repost, I will have to ask her.

friends jam at Thistles and Marigolds

this is a paperless jam
a slippery silicon document
almost real time

it is letting the thoughts
flow out of my finger tips
no spell check
& come to think of it no thoughts either
it is a spirit dance
a jitterbug keyboard.

Funny
I hardly think about the blood of Jesus anymore
I think about the bible translators
who were burned at the stake
or boiled in oil
for bringing The Word
to the hoi polloi

I think about their faith
the faith of heretics

and I think about the the quakers who were burned at the stake here in america.

But I never felt compassion for Jesus.

I just leaned on him.

caue it seemed as if he was leaning on me.

[the mingo]

Ain't it the truth. I've struggled with Him most of my adult life, and only one thing I know from it all is He's a real brute about it - if He reaches for you, you ain't never gonna get let go. Jacob wrestling with that angel so long ago got nothing on this guy. Nothing. If he comes for you
with His Way, His Truth, & His Life there ain't a creek nowhere you can get far enough up to get away, much less hide. And the Devil blew it big time thinking he could tame this Lion by hanging Him on a cross. Ha! Lot of good that little gambit did him.

"Lean on Jesus before He Leans on You" is a country song, I get my theology from country songs

I said that to a litttle n*gger in baltimore (lean on jesus before he leans on you) and he said fuck Jesus, so I turned and walked away and he hit me up side the head with a two by four when my back was turned. I only call him a n*gger because that's what he kept calling me.
Jesus is just okay with me mingo.

That's about it

I am going with the faith of a heretic

I mean what's the worst that can happen

I know what is at stake


I would sure like to visit the holy land

the one in florida

the theme park.

Jesus is easy
Be He man, myth or metaphor
He ain't hard.
I stopped struggling with him in 1974

You know
I met him once on a bus in washington DC

Or at least he said he was Jesus Christ.

I took him at his word

but the bus driver said even if he was He still could not let him ride without paying his bus fair

So I paid it for him

It seemed like the least I could do.

After all he done for me.

Yes his yoke is light
so why all these people so happy to kill for Jesus?

Love this lyrics, if love is the right word.

I guess awed might be a better word

Images of innocence charge him go on
But the decadence of destiny is looking for a pawn
To a nightmare of knowledge he opens up the gate
And a blinding revelation is laid upon his plate
That beneath the greatest love is a hurricane of hate
And God help the critic of the dawn.

From this Phil Ochs song.

any of you guys have read the last temptation of christ by kazantzakis - remarkable book.

[stilltrucking]

Published in 1951
Over the past thirty years I have actually held the book in my hands but never read it.

I hope for nothing.
I fear nothing.
I am free.

what a jam
sitting here
eating a peanut butter
and bacon
sandwhich on maztos
sipping on a glass of jimson weed tea

crunching munching spewing crumbs as i say

wooooooooooooooooooooooooeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[silent woman]

<center>Don't try this at home

sitting here
eating a peanut butter
and bacon
sandwhich on maztos
sipping on a glass of jimson weed tea

in the frying pan
a slice of spam
cooking for mz polly's dog
he likes a hot meat

eight pounds of riduclous dog
but he has volition
whe wants what he wants
knows which way he wants to walk
the only thing he can't control is his agression

can you teach an old dog new tricks

I would like him to be the world's oldest foo foo dog
If I don't kill him first
what would I do if I did
a long walk off a short pier
