That paradise
that garden, the oneness thing
Yeah
done that
was there
that ultimate blending
cosmic goop
slow step jelly fish encounter
yeah

but ya know how it is
this year we wanna go somewhere else
do somethin else
try somethin new

yeah, uh huh
brain expansion is nice for a visit
but wouldn't wanna live there

naked is cool
but what would i do with my cellphone

uh huh
yeah
i mean
ya know





judih

wait! catch that chariot
the snake car swoop
goin down

outa this bliss happiness phase
far below this nirvana place
i musta been crazy
wishin and hopin my mind to blow

body shattering epiphany
mighty break-through
thrown past blast

been wafting in connectedness
and it's time for a change
mamma mamma who'd aknown

That paradise
crackle my soul
shrink me smaller
eat me!


judih

let's get small
so tiny all becomes
paradise....so small
we POP!....burst
upon oblivions plains
thenjust fizzle and hissssssssss

small is an untold pleasure
affording minute mysteries
the more the merrier
(how many esoteric tales
can you fit on the head)

tiny, more than molecules could mitigate
masticate on that, bub
no, not goin there

the tiny painting
just a slip of white
down the black curtain
under the rose and aqua threads
the fold under
a thumb and finger
and overall
the eye pointing
past the flemish fog,
the northern sun
stippling the table of ripe fruit
vermeer pulls his socks on
and stamps down on
the cold, waxed parquet

dutch blue bowl
spills sunshine through burnt sienna shades
when her mind shines
life is a canvas

she's like a rainbow
all reflections emenating
from that illuminated canvas
one of my favorite stops on
the way home...boppin' cross
bawlmer town is utrechts art
supply...get a couple tubes a paint
and progressivly bigger and bigger
canvases for my better half so she
can make that full color splash, made
her a legend round these here parts
wild artista throwin' flammin' darts
paintings on fire filled with desire
kinda visualizations take ya higher
she comes in colors every where
she comes in colors...aye yae yae yae!!!!!!!!!

gonna wear that cell phone like a lucky charm!

paradise
may i help you?

yes, i'd like to rent a room for one

sorry
all filled up, ma'am.
let me check here...
yes
we expect an opening
in 2012.

sorry.
don't plan to be in the area that year

but pencil me in.
pencil me in.

do not emerge, eden
stay in the mouths
of the lost
who dream you

clouds gather
as whiteness
hoards its strength

i haven't seen you
until you dreamed me
on your own
table of sleep

There are many Eden's in our father's dreams
This one we call earth
Wherever we wander on it
Wherever we put down roots
It is all holy ground
We walk a trail of tears in america

paradise is a brain wave,
the right one, mind you.

seems it's been flattened between
two musty Bible pages for years,
pick most any two.
'son, don't you want to see paradise?'
i said, 'yes',
i still want.

I penned a bourbon constitution
atop a whiskey bar on the 405,
brave bottleneck of transit,
such a head full of steam.
I saw paradise out the side of my shot glass
where it should not have been.

who stole the soul?
who built the walls inside?
who built the nukes around peace?
who attacked my selfish evolution?

He came to me with an empire.
I told him I'd sleep on it.

you got offered an empire
and you hesitated?
how can that be?
most of us never have such an opportunity.
we are told to bend and toil
and our lives and our children's lives are threatened
if we hesitate.

you got offered an empire
and you are going to sleep on it?
many of us don't know that kind of sleep.
we are grateful for nights where sleep is not interrupted by
hunger or bomb blasts or large waves.

who is he and who are you
that this offer would be made?

who are you and who are we
that you would not take
and share it with us?

who are you that you would you reject something
that most of us can only dream of?

who are you that you would not try to co-re-create it
into something that does not house nukes?

what price did you think that you would have to pay?
and why would you think that it was not worth it?

receive it
then turn to us
and ask us
to share it,
let us help you
co-re-create it.

and if not,
please tell us why.
