today I’ll jam

[keithalanhamilton]

today I’ll jam
salaam, salam, shalom
my ancestors jammed
sith, fred, frieden, pokjo
jammin’ for some
public tranquility
freedom from conflict
calm repose, quietness
all worth jammin’
standby or jam on
peace out

[keithalanhamilton]

today I'll jam.......
silence
and fade away quietly
into the buzz
disabling distinction
neutralized
bearing no form
or individuality
amid the minutia
no more

[.Lucy.]

today you'll jam
or jelly or marmalade
or fruit spread your thoughts.
you choose whether you distribute these ideas
over toast or crackers
but don't forget the tea.

[keithalanhamilton]

today I jam
thinking
think I do a lot
about everything
many things at a time
this or that, whatever
I think about it
not flippantly
but deeply
thinking I do
even while sleeping
lucid dreams I have
thinking is me

[.Lucy.]

If you = thoughts
and thoughts= jam,
then the equation is simple enough
to decipher.

You are the jam of your thoughts
and your thoughts know how to jam.

[Doreen Peri]

today i'll jam
like breakfast
from eggs through
lunch, make word
sandwiches until
dinner, spread some
raspberry dessert
verbs, hyphenate
my-meaning
'til i'm toast

[keithalanhamilton]

today I jam empathically
an intuitively emotive
felt sense of being
relating self to all else
emotionally painful
but worth experiencing
knowing beyond myself
feeling Nature’s activity
through individuality
moving as a totality
while being separate
yet jammin’ systemically
together as one whole

[keithalanhamilton]

today I’ll jam
poetry’s line- break
nothin’ more than
Dickinson’s dash
the artist being
the artist
nothin’ more
nothin’ less
just highlighting
something
as seen a little
different
then the norm
despite tradition

whatever
