wireman lives in jam
each line a fresh breath
communal embrace

Only thing more important than life is time
them old beatniks knew time



life seems shorter as I get older
I try and remember how long a summer seemed when I was in school.
I got a three month hiatus from the struggle for the legal tender
free as a kid on summer vacation back in Baltimore after the war




as if I knew jackshit about Buddhism and Existentialism

the past is all lies the future the truth

Lies are like a truck
they own everything

rock and roll saints
like the essentials of spontaneous prose


black widow spider
and a drug-crazed hallucination
When I started really really really reading poetry.

the spirit of truth
from the spirit of music
I am mildly autistic about all that

like a bird on a wire

unplugged in connected tissue and fissures.

we move towards the shooter
bold as love

in this bold new twirled world
baton keeping time

we march into dystopian days
with hearts of iron

an iron jaw that will not crack
like the user's smoke

love is a weapon that should not
be taken lightly

love as anti-weapon
effect ripples far
skill with practice

.

jetsam. flotsam.
ripples wave
their brokenness upon
upon echo beach

.

defend love
jam with that special song in your heart
dissolve into sparkles of transforming light
that will arrest the winter wind blowing harshly
over the frozen faces stuck in hopelessness
jam that song, til everyone is humming
jam that song til everyone is up and dancing

we arm ourselves with love
iron-hearted warriors
march as to dystopian days

glory glory and hell yeah magnolias

Mongolian Magnolias
bloom in tundra minds
frozen from days of struggle
to make that buck
to pay too much for electricity
way too much for water. what if
we taxed the rich, how 'bout that jam ?
what if we jammed up the streets of commerce
til someone noticed us. it's harsh on the tundra of life
hard to find decent affordable vegetables in ice
it's a tough road for lots-a-folks, but especially
the long-in-the-tooth jammers
Mongolian Magnolias where are you ?
bring a little floral love for leis of aloha
Mongolian Magnolias bring us some love
we don't need the moon and the stars, unless
they're edible

hunters, gatherers
band together
feed one another

Beings in the band
Lean on each other
As we go on our Way
Strength in numbers

It takes dynamite to get me up
Too much of everything is just enough
I need a miracle every day

flowing
glowing
blowing
going on

hollowing
harrowing
marrowing
sewing cedes

galloping across the plain
shooting stars quell the status quo
most long for some juice
a boost in the arm that reaches the head
where are the warrior leaders
that jam above the rest, that spark
the imagination, I'm tired of has-beens
ans so-so's, when will that force arrive
that unites the world, so we may all sit down
to tea with each other, aware and prepared
for some toast and New World Jam
