I tried to reply

with something beautiful

a passage from a book

that gave me the same pause

All I could think of was The Magician of Lublin when he was riding his horse through the Polish country side, through moonlit misty night, the sounds and sights and odors.

I had to return the book so I don't have it.

Tinkerjack took it from me.

I replied with this which was all I could think of
which I deleted

because it was so true but not beautiful
unless beauty can be terror.

It was said that when he was upon earth he incited people to war, created enmity and discord and caused much anguish and disquiet. He set people against one another so that they made wars and for this he reason he was called "the enemy on both sides."

Wow - fed some lines from Ecclesiastes into one of those online cut-up machines and this, after a bit of rearrangement, is what came out. Wild.

All art is pulp fiction in my book. I have a good time.

We are all in the dark. Then the enlightened come along. You can always pick them out because they are even darker than the rest of us. In fact, against the night they are almost invisible.

From us Satan hates most of all our laughter. He works hard to distract us with notions of "happiness" but must flee when in the presence of joy.

Wild raspberry pie. I could really use a piece of wild raspberry pie for breakfast this morning.

Cops are janitors. Detectives are custodians.

According to the latest reports the swine flu seems to have failed the fanfare of its press releases. Ya want a real biblical proportioned epidemic you have to contact Stephen King.

Bones in the earth - daffodils on the hills.

U.S. of A. - Frida Kahlo called it "Gringolandia".

I wish Salma Hayek had a pet mouse. I wish I was that mouse.

i love the night love the darkness
"don't let the devil steal your joy"

Been so long since I got to ride
my poor litttle motorcycle grown cobwebs

love them spiders too
my sleek hard beauty
the black widow has such a painless bite.

I got to ride last night.
next best thing to a slice of wild rassberry pie.

a day without a mingo gram is a day with out beauty.

Loaded for bear yesterday put my boots on Justin Ropers still not broke in yet, like to give my self a hernia pulling them on. Pulled a mussle in my back but it was worth it. Watched too many cowboy movies I knew it was going to be a long day
another man versus computer slug fest.
I had to get those boots on so it could be said, He died with his boots on."

[stilltrucking]

Missed you today.

I decided to take the day off and rest. Boots on tomorrow.

Trying to undo my eating habits. If j is living in the holyland I must be in living the McHoly Land. Food commercials ever five minutes I can hardly watch tv anymore.

But I am looking forward to MasterPiece Theatre tonight, The Old Curiosity Shop

Hope I see you tomorrow.

[the mingo]

Sorry Jack I've been on the go all day. Just now got in it's past 10 here in the eastern forests. I'm gonna call it a day will & catch it all tomorrow.

I once heard a mixed blood Mohawk refer to media news shows as "morbid fascination entertainment".I listen to conquered people because they always know what's what.

Joseph Campbell is dead. I wonder what he thinks about the hero's journey now?

Anyone else ever had two words hook themselves together in their head and not let go? Not that these pairings lead anywhere - they just stand there with their own force glowing away. My pair for the day - murmur costumes.

If the answer is the universe what does the question matter?

A good dose of vehement stagnation never hurt anyone.

Mexican revolutions were never a commercial success and the revolutionaries who took part in them never had a good future or, in most cases, no future at all. Still, the history of the nation to our south is intensely colorful & fervidly heartbreaking. At the moment we are helping with money, guns, and info the Mexican gov't in its struggle with drug lords whom we also finance by the steady purchase of their wares. What?

[stilltrucking]

I don't know for sure
But I got a feeling
Joe Campbell don't think much about anything anymore
Betrand Russell also thinking less these days

Ask the jitterbug what he thinks these days and he will probably tell you "As little as possible."

Carole Jean, that name running around my brain night and day.

Going for a walk I got my one hundred dollar sneakers on.
NewBalance 842 walkers for senior citizens
they got a roll bar built in
because us geezers tend to roll over a lot.

Buddha is a jelly belly
pats a jew boy on the head and laughts
Oh yes I got to walk this lonesome valley

They never stopped to wonder at the heartache in her eyes
When I saw Melissa I saw Jesus in disguise"

Poor Mexico, so far from god and so close to the united states.

Smithfield Packing Inc of the usa operated that plant there for years and people complained about the filth and flies.



thank you mingo
enjoy your breakfast
and have a blessed day if you can
I been seriously considering some ham and eggs this morning

My mouth is home to broken kivas. A bunch of faces of dead presidents ride around in my pockets. I don't charge them livery.

More Americans taking Drugs For Mental Illness! - ah, the smell of freedom sweet freedom - and a superpower to boot.

What the hell is the phrase "semi-official" supposed to convey?

Mexico City is back & open for business.

The most desirable attribute of money is not having to dick around with anything. You can just have shit fixed or buy something new that works the way it is supposed to. From the point of view of poverty that is. Poverty only comes with three options - make do, do without, or put up with. Money, as a tool, is better than a whole army with guns.

Completely wild poems are the best.

A touch of romance is hard to beat. Keeps things sweet.

The worst things in the world are always the most serious. Serious folks have locked themselves out from having any fun. They never understand the point or the humor of having a mouthful of broken kivas at seven in the morning.

The day slipped by while I was trying
so hard to think of some some thing to say

"I know / there is / perfection in the being / of my being, / that I am / holy in amness / as stars or / paperclips," A. R. Amons

[the mingo]

Same thing happens to me,Jack, all the time.

In 1578 there were 350 European fishing vessels at Newfoundland so that by 1969 or so Jim Morrison could write a song whose title he lifted from the Anais Nin novel Spy In The House of Love.

Without beaver and the trade in their fur America would not be where it is today with a high probability that Morrison's song might not have existed at all or, at the very least, the title & subject matter would have been different.

The French were the most responsible for exploring & opening the interior of the continent to contact with their incessant drive for more fur.

Making love with their faces is the supreme gift of the French people to America despite the propaganda that surrounds another French gift, the Statue of Liberty.

The trade in tobacco was the other cash item that helped birth America. Tobacco was the mother of the Declaration of Independence & the Constitution and, by extension, the mother of us all even as we talk trash about her today in the current fashion.

After the end of the Civil War (aka the War for Independence by the defeated side) the Confederates & the Negroes who stayed in the South let go of cotton by & by & got busy inventing a new music.

Can anyone say Sex, Drugs, & Rock & Roll ?

A lot of picture. THank you.

The lie detector
Her best character some say.

I want a girl just like the one that married my dear old uncle Rilke


I figure if I could find five women bat sh*t crazy enough to marry me,
I wouldn’t have to choke my chicken anymore.

Best part of Zen for me is haiku
If that is a part of Zen?

Haiku don’t lie.

I hear that. I like the dry gardens too.

Espresso yourself in the brain.

In the Kingdom of God will leftovers never spoil?

While researching alien hand syndrome a few moments ago I came across the phrase "dead metaphor". The article said language is full of these things. Wikipedia is a strange & awesome country. Enter at risk. Remember your brain. There are so many ways of looking at language. Like it was a woman who carried around a purse decorated with three wild horses running across it. She never said but I guessed it was how she paid her bills.

O Yankee Doodle looking for the summer is upon you like roads turned black by rain your boat your bowl of cherrios and your other children are in the cupboard. The sound the oar makes passing dark water. The smell of someone's hair double hammers your smiling snail. You have a car but balloons & rushing buses put a flower over various doodles of your head. Looking further. To the coast. To plasma.

Jell-o has no south pole. There has never been a drive-in theater at the South Pole. No mosquitos.

Legion. The crowd in the face.

God points to everyone and says Who would roll when they could rock?

If you can't have fun you can't have anything. Also known as the blond looking past the camera with concern on her face for the three ships sailing. The maps to such places are a woman's arms seeking to hold on by embracing. A circle of touch is first bird singing when there is no light yet.
