the blues

[saw]

the blues she just keeps rollin'

in spite of the zeniths
the status quo, the gestalt
your chest rises and falls
and nobody said life was a bowl of cherries

well, come to think of it
someone did say that, George Gershwin
but that's just because he was
bringing down a grand a week

to write a few happy tunes
and I ain't saying that's a bad thing
to be positive and all that
just sayin' that no matter what

the blues, she just keeps rollin'

the hours drag
like banshee musical notes
just creepers some days
a stake bound for glory

cells languish for nourishment
the xylophone only tinkles encouragement
but the vibe is unstoppable
the voices cry out, roll baby roll

keep up that motion
early in the morning
late at night, just roll baby
let the music wrap you up

in a blue blanket of hope
let the blues bathe you, just keep
it movin', rollin', wrapped
in the unique music in your head

if your lucky
the blues, she just keeps rollin'

[Lightning Rod]

here's to a few happy tunes

good luck and good verse in the New Year, steve
