[the mingo]

Jimmy was rollin'
along the river yesterday
headed upriver - headed south
the road is cut into the bank there
bout 100 feet above the river
got to keep your eyes open along that stretch
lots of traffic - four wheelers headed home
big trucks headed for the Thruway
and interstate 81
but Jimmy also likes to watch the roadsides
cause lots of stuff from humanity's passage
ends up in the ditches there
and caught in the weeds
and trees
trash yeah but lots of bones too
from roadkill
little bones from sparrows
to big bones from deer
sometimes dog
sometimes cat
coyote too
Jimmy likes to look at the river
from that height
there are trees between the road & the river
where stuff that rolls off or
gets blown off the road ends up
so Jimmy's rollin with
his attention divided between scenery
and traffic
but he sees something at the foot of a tree
halfway down the bank
could have been a plastic bag
caught over a rock
could be a deer skull
or maybe something more interesting
Jimmy goin' back today
to take a closer look
rollin' rollin'
along the river

[judih]

roll, jimmy, roll
no skull too sandblown
no bag too trite
open your eyes
humanity's rolling our way

[the mingo]

Notional poetry life
Nocturnal hedgehog tickle fest
Nimrod nabob nottachance
Parlay with the die nasty
Hair cut by one shag splainin
All in the rain
Tears of cryin shame
Breaking hearts
Blowin coronets
Livin mahavishnu melodies?.....jammin!!!

[judih]

don't ma my vishnu
pass it over to me

[the mingo]

woke up to wind world
blow man blow
roared all night
fell to sleep to it
pine trees are rockin with it
bikes chained to the porch
the road is their river

[Lostwire]

Was down rivers edge
Rain pouring
Water rising
The grind grittier
The path to nevermore
Bends in every direction

[judih]

in the long stretch of night
thoughts run into thoughts
fear and wonder meet adrenaline

[the mingo]

i sit
& let the memories
roll within
making a re-acquaintance
of ghosts

[Lostwire]

Hey ya
News b good
Gestapo tactic tic s nixed

[judih]

fallen jam
rises to meet the glow
lash and broadway

[Lostwire]

Jam lives
No time constraints
To taint the distance............>>>>>>>>......travelled.

[judih]

somewhere mid-Atlantic
words find words
hi-five energize

[the mingo]

Let sleeping dogs
hot play the bingo - dream away
we look forward to a higher gear
