perpetual jam!!!!!!!!!

[the mingo]

I always wanted
a Volks microbus
to drive it out into the desert
of northern arizona and
park by some rocks rocks covered
with petroglyphs & with the door wide open
sit there making bird noises
with my lips

[stilltrucking]

I saw a guy driving an old MG yesterday, the TD model
I Waved and he waved back
He smiled I smiled
If he had been driving a Bugatti
I would have had to get out of my car and bowed down by the side of the road.

Ah yes
the infernal cumbustion engine
got to love it.

Burry my heart at the Cadilac ranch

what caught my eye was the house next door
the one with the formstone facade
god that shit spread through neigborhoods like a plague
somebody called it baltimore ugly
covering up the beautiful red brick

"I always wanted
a Volks microbus" - the mingo

( just wrote a short pome about a vw)

juke box a go-go
soft whirling memories
old volkswagon takes us there

[SadLuckDame]

I wanna go there
in an old VW too.

[the mingo]

O Ladies, I loves ya all!

[WIREMAN]

tis a new hombre alambre
he woke from a purple haze
stepped out onto patrick st.
into a cool fall rain
wire sculptures on his mind
r.l. burnside on his mind
third person in his cerebral cortex
beneath a walk along a wall
he was inspired that day
relieved that night
ready to grab the tigers tail
for the wild ride
swinging & swaying
old tme swelling
w/nick and nora
rin-tin-tin too
knockin' round the zoo
"in the streets"
troutzilla on the corner manana
the whole damn town an art show
talkin' 'bout fredROCK
i'm parkin' the car for 2 daze
none of that get the hell
outta my way for this wired man

[the mingo]

I'm madder than broke
my vigorous flapping becoming
a beautiful suit
no left turn

[WIREMAN]

the cleaners for that
black cord sport coat
of mine
holds a notebook, pen, wallet,
& a whole lotta harmonica's

[the mingo]

sound them harps
so's I can hear 'em
up here
in all the trees

[jackofnightmares]

bandeleros of harps
them nashville cats
used to wear
tootsie' orchid lounge
living on faith
hanging out at the public library
living at the mission.
jeezus wireman I know the dude loves me
but I would rather pay rent
was I was ensconced in the Ross Hotel which used to stand next to the Holy shrine of Country M usic The Ryman
once i got out of the mission I spent my nights at the honky tionks on lower broadway, maybe not your cup of tea, but man those hillbillies could rock.
never close your eyes at Tootsie's Orchid Lounge
not then, not when Tootsie was there with her hat pin like a samurai sword

blow those harps for me
i'll prentend I can hear them>>>>>>>

[WIREMAN]

deadliest of weapons
the hat pin

my axes

[WIREMAN]

the poet
wired to the walls
makin' smaller wired ones
for the xmas market
gallery neptune nov.-dec.
got chilly today
then the rain came
high above national airport
planes comin' and goin'
all the live long day

[the mingo]

I'd like to help ya out with that
but my words are like cement blocks
need a shotgun to
blow them into dust

[WIREMAN]

extremely wired 2night
maybe it was the coffee
drifting.....ali farka toure....then holding down the stone.....maybe i'll gets me a little rest.....although i do have wire on my mind.....

[stilltrucking]

wired rested
words on my mind
smackwater jack
got a shot gun in his hand
when all you got is a nail
every problem looks like a hammer

I miss my motorcycle
love to ride
makes me feel alive
so do these beaufitul san antonio fall nights
seeing stars in the sky
hear them trains come balling by
'doctor say I live five years if i take my time
drinking my wine and busting them rods"

hammer hammer
