perpetual jam!!!!!!!!!

[WIREMAN]

\
hangin' in the dog pound
this one by my friend will saxton
of the plaeground band
b'more book fest coming fast
ready for a performance
2 years gone from the clotting
eating more spinach
love that spinakopita
broccoli too
wingin' it w/the words
jam style
the sun is shining this morn
been more than a few daze
since ya left us king
i sit in your palace
beneath blue skies and
purple catoctin's majesty
the place where francis scott
laze all the live long day
the place where people still
don't lock the doors

[the mingo]

ancient angel cats
delivering the word
like wake love crush sleep
a ghost in a garden
helpless under the stain

[stilltrucking]

Good news Mr Wireman
good news
I am glad to get

I was thinking about the lords prayer and this popped into my head

my father who art
gone these many years
If you can hear me
and still help me
along my way
please give me
my daily spinach
& strength for the day


I wish so much I could be in Baltimore
for your show

[WIREMAN]

it'd be nice jack
diggin' cecil
billectric
judih
D
on action poetry
cafe writing &
music jammin'
these daze
baltimore poets/music
show comin' fast

susheela rains words
upon my t-rex ears
bring on the night

[the mingo]

I'll take a piece
of that dark
bark high
and dusky

[WIREMAN]

deep into the
darkest depths
breath in
breath out
aromatic
automatic
aspirin
ease the pain
abolish suffering

[the mingo]

Now that would be
a most worthy thing ...
Goodnite Wireman
Goodnite jam

[judih]

dharma would say something here
but however you ohm it
suffering is not what we're after
before we suffer
we prefer to have a lot of fun
enjoyment and its colleagues
all the good stuff
yeah
pull out the rich sublime contentment card
deal us all a deck
enjoy our hands
keep that blissful thing highly tuned
right on track
give us more of that

[WIREMAN]

driftwood
~~~~~~~~~

never enuff bliss
or good times
they get contagious
even w/the low blows
that topple into the
fray,
constant movement
rattle-rattle, to keep 'em
@ bay....All Aboard!!!!!!
the lovin' life train
fertily
fervently
forever
movin' in the now
kapow!!!!
shaka-lacka
do-wacka-dew
which we inevitably
undubitably doobie doobie dew.......
all comes down to jam
alive...alive....ohhhhhhhhh!!!
h2o
e=mc2 on the side of
a building in san francisco
hip einie smilin' somewhere
water of love
dual fishes
i be swimmin'
down rapids
never up waterfalls
lookin' for the swell
the waves
the purple haze
of course the
ungraspable
unclaspable
uncontrollable
what's under the rainbow
in the riverbed

[the mingo]

I'll just swing in on
an electric line
a single photon for a spine
I'd go to the river
but there's no one to meet
I'll just end up
eating my feet
or watching birds what pretend
they are phone calls
from someone off the deep end
O Marie Antoinette had a pretty pink jet
do ya think she'll give me a ride?
I'll be in the alley
taking book on the side

[WIREMAN]

sweet marie & sneaky sally
in the alley, in the
hood, they call it
"the hole"
where the deals go down
right outside my welding shop
me sticking to my side
i don't miss it now that
it's gone, for 5 years an
uneasy truce reigned
and i learned that life
in the bowels is neither
cut and dry or all that
simple, i wrote some of
my best stuff in that place
where the river ran yellow
and smelled like ammonia

house in baltimore where i lived for 5 years (2002-07), call it "sowebo"

[the mingo]

warm tonite
on the way home
all the windows open in the Jeep
I love my Jeep
That your truck in the pic Wireman?
I love ol' Dodge trucks
Heard a song tonight
an old song
that reminded me of a woman
I love ol' songs that remind me of a woman
movin' on ...

[WIREMAN]

truck belonged to my neighbor

welcome to the land
of the unliteral
the place w/art
all over the walls
& the hounds
scratchin' @ the door
the gate is open
there's smooth sailin'
till we reach the
other side........

[SadLuckDame]

I, too, love an old truck Wireman. Once I wrote a poem about one, it's a good looking truck, to somebody.

[WIREMAN]

o the trucks i've had
74' dodge van back in the 70's
a nisszn/datsun in the 80's and 90's
also a black chevy luv that my wife
banged around in...literally
then in 2001 i got a tundra
drove it up till a couple a years
ago and finally now i've surrendered
to the 50 mpg efficiency of an old
honda civic....contemplating another van
as i write...when economy picks up for sure.....
