60% thru the "Snow Leopard"
Peter Matthiessen
A cant put it downer
Jammin flow
Where did you go
But it does take two
To jam
3's better
But let's not ask for too much

[the mingo]

took the Ghost
out under the moonlight
for a ride
crossed the river
2 a.m.
stars so far away
so silent with distance
heard the train coming to the crossing
but i was too far away
to make it in time

(sorry been scarce for the jam - still moving to the river house, takes time even though a short move, workin with the landlord during the days move at night - ain't had the mood for jam lately - working on short form stuff - sittin on my little porch that overlooks the river at the moment - just watched a small snake cross the river here - they leave hundreds of ripples in their wake, then all those ripples cross one another in outward flow - now that's jammin'

listening to music
down by the river
saturday morning

[WIREMAN]

Rare roar
Deep river
Sounds
Jam feeling
Poe jammin
Slammer dies
In a run on sentence
Via litkicks
Jammer lives to jam
Front porch sittin
Watching the river flow
Big snake
Water moccasin?
Hellun
Hanging on
Ripples in water time
Late night mover
All night groover
Better to be a jammer
Even if they wanna poeticize
Ride ride ride!!!
And jam! hell yeah Mongolia!

[the mingo]

no moc's this far north
at least not yet
just
possibilities possibilities
broke into Dr. Sax again last night
read it the first time
at the long end of last winter
didn't have much to say about it then
( hold up, got to take off my eagle hat )
but last night it took me
for a ride -
it's like i didn't catch
the flow the first time
now it's caught me
fuckin' kerouac sometimes
i just want to bitch slap him
ridin' with the moon up here
got a bridge crossing the Little Salmon River
right out front of my River house
three different cars have collided
with the bridge and each other
in the last three weeks
- happened again two nights ago -
car hit the guardrail, stopped, then drove off
making a helluva racket -
i think a benign spirit
has taken up residence
on the bridge in an attempt
to let the state know
it's time to replace the bridge
( which is falling apart )
or replace the drivers that use it
could be first cousin to Dr. Sax
for all i know

[WIREMAN]

Snow leopards
Alley cats
Black panthers
In ny suburbs
Running deer on
Golf course fairways
Copperheads riding
In trucks toolbox
West Virginia rattlers
Under the trailer
Black bear
Red panda
Leopards not afraid of man
Smell of skunk on walk to train
4:38 am.
Never a rat on these Frederick streets
Mice hidden
Trash trucks aplenty
Bab boom bangin
I sit for a moment
In reverie 4:42
Set alarm 5:55
To awake me on train
In case
Dream reverie
Over takes
Where is that tax return?
Health insurance kicked in
Relief, yet expensive
62 and 1/2 yesterday
Nothing stands still
Jammer I be
Shape shifter
Time traveler
Book reader
Funny how the kindle made me do it
Basho.....jack....Han Shan....Gary Snyder....Li Po .....& on......

[the mingo]

kindle the most
dangerous critter since
invention of the book
i tried to get out
but it sucked me back in -

seriously though
best invention since
the bicycle

[WIREMAN]

Blow up
Dem pages
Good for old eyes
Sliding down the Himalayas tonite

[WIREMAN]

Matthiessen like a
20th century basho
Never did see
Snow leopard
They sure are amazing
On YouTube
The feel of the himalaya
Even felt the faces
Wanna travel & write haibun
Sensations
Feelings
head out on the Appalachian trail
Express & feel
Play my harmonica to the stars

[the mingo]

tibetan monks
makin' their bowls sing
here this morning
quite a switch from the old swing
i was listening too before
mongolian shaman chants next up
followed by some steve miller
the neighbors' are at church
they got a big yellow bus
they traffic the kids all around in
fed stale bagels to
the fish in the river last evening
cedar waxwings taking insects overhead
just heard of a woman one village over
who lived 111 yrs -
born 1799, George Washington president,
died 1910, two years before the Titanic went under -
saw Haley's comet twice
9 children
jammin' the whole way

[the mingo]

haibun is cool
been messing with the form
lots of room to maneuver
i travel round by bike hereabouts
it's a haibun ride

[WIREMAN]

A new form
Let's call it
Hobobun hobo

[the mingo]

Hobobun ! hey , i like the notion of that ! we can run with it for sure !

[WIREMAN]

From jam
to haiku
Haibun
to hobobun
Observations on the road
1st thoughtin
Banks of the river
Or ridin that train
A tale for the tellin
Wellin up from the insides
All we gots to do
Is ride

[the mingo]

hobobun
been thinking on that
you can journey into
& across a landscape
into & across an hour
a minute
a moment
- yeah
