Re: perpetual jam!!!!!!!!!
the past is prologue
the past is never past
forget the past
trust the bullshit
words and pretense
sound and fury
means to an end
because life must go on
the heartbeats
of a cosmic drummer
beauty needs an eye to behold it

lies the truth
truth lies
how it feels
the real reels
baited by hook or by crook
cast iron lines

obsidian words
words that wound
truth that destroys
hell it is like shelter in a storm for me
words a million yakety yak
freedom's just a word
give me a beat boys to free my soul
I was raised on sarcasm

nothing left to lose
nothing write nor hark
just
at the speed of dark
lights the fuse

Re: perpetual jam!!!!!!!!!
stone words
a morning tea ceremony
nothing words can convey
silence and need for nonverbal communication
music music music
rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham
twenty years trying to finish one book by Husserl
too many Greek and Latin words, German too, and neologisms too
give up after 140 pages
That wasl 20 years ago, back when I was in a hurry, or too lazy for scholarship
all I remember about the phenomenology of internal time conscious is that time is a melody a two-fold multiplicity
state of being a melody
time the great deserter
a pirate looks at eighty
I can't see it.
eighty scares the dogshit out of me
life been so good to me so far
perpetual motion only exists as a musical phenomenon
I loved words, made me feel like I was smart.

n a i l s
so manic cured
screw in so deep
twistingburning crucifixes sleep
stigmata liars predatorily weep
deep blackblood minus
crimson redemptions
spurnhisses tendril tongues flick
uncrossed glass whipped
undamned as the zombies slip
possessing owning repudiating cogitating instinctively
the vomit of that which belies
slept awake in
rejections
unwaked un-irish uncelebrated
so unhuman
no matter how knees beg bended
and chins sleep
woken by cracks of glass jaws
smacked bruised and shattered
as
wholesome sins swallow chap choked
fuck yous
leaf me up your roots
truncated
in impossible applause.
clever so numbed.
so novocain
and unable
words plunge
down my spines drain.
teeth whiter than white
stained.
so bite off the nipple of your damp beret
fill up on the pus as it squirts in spurious charades
leave the marrow and the milk
as your head shouts in the lovelessness of your bone
break me open
as you leave me alone
so i shudder and shake
quiver and sail lightless
whilst god sucks my eyes
as i gently break
.again.over.
.in shame.
you have your little pills
all i have
are my silly spills.
.again.
excuses reign
holding each udders
un-milked pain

Re: perpetual jam!!!!!!!!!
waitin' on Tom Waits
i need some gravel in my life
I've become too smooth like the landscape
on the east coast worn down my eons of wind and rain
i need some jagged dreams to cut me
I'm too old for the wisdom of the local bar
where i learned about diversity
I met enough strange people to write about for the rest of my life
He smiled at me with only 3 teeth in his face
slammed his Budweiser longneck down on the scarred bar top
and howled, I've already outlived Jesus and Elvis and grinned from ear to ear
that's how you write a great novel or a raspy ballad
you gotta put in the time among the people
your imagination will only take you so far
sidle up on that stool, drink non-alcoholic beer if you like
talk to the outliers that frequent the haunts of time
my youth has passed me by, but I will never forget
each and every character that i can draw from memory
now I'm just waitin' on Tom Waits to sing me a little song
of deliverance

Re: perpetual jam!!!!!!!!!
bumped into an old friend the other day
a long-ago friend from a prior lifetime
our orbits had long since diverged
I'd gone into engineering
he'd stayed with computers
we'd both gone gray
both shed those accursed pounds
that had labeled us
typecast us
"fat"
and maybe that was the bond
between two outsiders
looking in
"excuse me," I said,
"but are you Carl D?"
he looked at me without recognition
"I am," he said
"I'm Roy S!" I said, and extended my hand
he took it
acknowledged my words with some of his own
but his eyes said it all
silence
we spoke politely
danced the dance
followed the script
but there was no spark
the engine didn't catch
ashes
only ashes
ashes of a friendship
that had died of old age

Re: perpetual jam!!!!!!!!!
met an old Navy buddy
we had ton-o-fun back in the day
roommates as we came of age
and here he was now without a shred
of personality, an iota of humor
he was grim with an indifferent expression
and I could hardly believe that after
all the frolic and fun we shared that he was
truly gone to a place where what we experienced
no longer had a drop of significance
and it was if two strangers decided to speak
in an elevator with dreadful musak in our ears
and the doors opened and we walked away
without an ounce of love....no long goodbye
no goodbye at all....I just watched the back of his coat
and shook my head and mumbled something
and now I know I'm not the only one Roy
now I see how years can ravage. the soul
so
I guess I feel okay about my current state of mind
I still am curious, and still love to engage
and still feel love

Re: perpetual jam!!!!!!!!!
it's a little sad
when "remember when.."
is all two people have left
like when the sex
(that communion of souls)
between two lovers who've become strangers
has been watered down
to mere fucking
perfunctory and selfish
an itch to be scratched
a physical need to be met
and gotten over with
quickly
so one can roll over
and escape into sleep
whither the foreplay?
the mutual tickling
the sharing of pleasure
the give and take
"remember when I got so stoned...?"
the shared recollections
the tickle of laughter
to reassure that the bond that was
has become the bond that is
