perpetual jam!!!!!!!!!

[the mingo]

I don't know if I was born pissed off
or if it is an acquired habit
like america -
I don't know about German, Jack
always sounded to me like meat being ripped off the bone
though I do like the name
of that painting -
I might lack the willpower
and the winter coat to keep riding up here
the chill has come
and the outright cold can't be far behind
i get cold easy these days
and imagination can be
a big pain in the ass anymore
but that's just the romantic in me
shit I'm really gonna miss my bike
til spring -
one of these days I' gonna get
an enjoyment I can do all year round
one more fuck story
I might pop right out of my tree

[WIREMAN]

Still cool quiet
4am. Jam
Brief, belief in words
Face the day
Sunrise serenade
Face the cold
Be ever so bold
8th story coming
Then the roof
Job winding down
My thoughts heading up

[stilltrucking]

One winter: Back in the sixties worked high rise in Virginia. I remember cold concrete shells of those high rise apartments in Crystal City across from D.C.
Brings back cold memories
Going to ride my bike
all winter
I'm a winter Texan
I can't imagine war
and that is a blessing I know
I can only be grateful
that I was too crazy for it
certified four F mentally unfit
so I became a Quaker
a conscientious four f objector

I used to feel guilty till a world war vet from Corregidor told me I should feel grateful, not guilty.

Watching a PBS show about heroes this morning
the guys who wore those paratrooper boots
When they liberated a death camp one of them wrote in his diary, that now he knew why we were fighting that war. Which I kind of sniggered at, dang me they ought to take a rope and hang me.
Got me thinking to thinking about 1914 and wishing Germany had won that war.
German Jews, there is almost a cast system among us
some of us got class some of us are peasants like my family

nothing wrong with that I guess

a disease called man
our will to power
Nietzsche died for my sins

I been thinking about a new sport for the Olympics
I call it "Competitive Zen Buddhism"

[WIREMAN]

Crystal City is a city now
Watching the take offs
& landings a blast
Amazing synchronisity
Just heard Sting n Paul Simon
Same concert, March 13th here
Whod a thunk it
Doreens house here
She loves some paul simon
Jam the page
All these years
Just took the frederick bus
Driver said 60 cents if yer over 60
I said i'm 60' he said good enuff
Well i'm there
Poppa wired
Career winding down
Them steps, yeah dread em
Dont dread performing
Or dancing, love to jump off stage
n dance with them pretty fredrock girls
My mission, make em dance!
Gonna do a poetry night next monday, the 11th
Lotsa people askin about when, then nola's
manager called, so i set the night
Open to all comers this time
Independent contractor tax paying pro poet
Put all on top of my rodbuster earnings
Don't seem fair
No matter what it feels good to get some dinero
after all these years performing
Got a week off next week
Will be a killer show that i can totally enjoy
seeing as how i dont work the next day
Wasnt so long ago that that didnt matter
Sure does now
Jam on Jack
Jam on Mingo
My writing brothers
I love this stuff
Sticky
Jamalicious
More people should free up and try
Dont know what their missing
Cause this jam is perpetual
Long as im alive.......jam on me!

[the mingo]

I'd like to see
how the
Deer Hunting for Jesus guys
do at that sport -

[the mingo]

sorry wired - last post was riffing off of Jack -

you're right though - more folks should
just lay it down and get on -
- i'm more comfortable with it
than i was at first -
most things with words still have
a big play factor for me to this day -
i don't need a reason really
to screw around with words
sometimes i just throw them up in the air
to watch them go SPLAT when they hit the earth
i am coyote-educated
don't need a degree
don't tread on me
lookin ' out of old eyes
i can still see the sky

[WIREMAN]

Damn near simultaneous
Our posts
We should really hook up
In that instant thing sometime
We used to do it all the time here
I was addicted to them jams
Then they petered out
Now its just u me and Jack
I gots a buncha beautiful poet readers here in frederick though
Its a good night
Doreen comes sometimes
Jessica McHugh is quiet a published writer and a Babe!
They all our amazing
Some pics from today
Starting in the morn
With our team meeting at the job
Tino does the talk
I feel like im in the mexican gang in the magnificent 7
Love it and i comprende most of it
Then theres Earls crane
And sunset on the drive home in Chris's jeep
My weekday routine

[stilltrucking]

I miss my black widow spider lover
I want her to wear by high school sweater
the one with the scarlet letter for
acid adultery and abortion
"a portrait of guilt hung on the wall"
if only there was a market for erotic psychedelic hallucinations
I could cash in on my guilt trips

I think about Allen Watts talking about empty Christian Platitudes
And I say Okay big Al
I will try to remember empty Buddhist patters of platitudes
St Jack the real deal
he knew the platitudes
his heart was kind

the sound of silence
the patter of platters
platitudes and latitudes
these are the good old days

Days like today

Roll a pome out
rev yo spinner up!
Press me press me
chin up buttercup.
All lee all loy,
hannah's in the clover,
throw a ball over a house,
annie annie over!
Grass tickled toes,
hula hula dancers,
laughing buddha guys
don't have all the answers.
Yip Yip skip a rope
up, down, blam,
days like today,
I forget how old I am.

"I am a victim of society, and, an entertainer"........DW

That shit right there cracked me right the hell up! Had to sit my coffee down - I could see it I could see it! Hey what's this instant thing you talkin? Didn't know we could - how? Let me know - sounds fun and for that alone I'd give it a whirl -

[the mingo]

it's the intimate noises
that are the hardest to chase out the cracks of your life
gonna find the line
and put it down how I find it
read a little Thoreau this morning
sitting on the crapper
he was talking 'bout
winter visitors & past inhabitants
out there in Walden Woods -
bout the old negro woman before his time
who had her home there
and could be heard by passerby's muttering to herself
" you all bones, bones! "
it made me smile cuz I could see it
i could see it plain
and faint deep in the background
the far off sound
of African drums
o america - she musta been somethin
when she was young

[stilltrucking]

riffin on the raff

America she was so much older then
stay away American woman
my home sweet home
burning in the sun
down from the valley of the Virginias
to the Texas Islands

head on down to the veil of tears
clean up Armenia
get a hair lip


everything is groovy
jimi plays the oh can you see
America™ where we eat the children

and I am just whistling Dixie
riff raff
on a raft

November sunshine warms my bones
a good day to be cold
to be old man
but I am happy as a monkey with a honey pot
or a bear with a beer
I don't know nothing
just a jam
drive on
jam on

[WIREMAN]

Instant jam
Its like we pick a time
and go for it back and forth
Jammin.....i'm free next week
Just make a time and lets see
Wah appens
We used to do em here
Lotsa people would join in
When the syncroniztion was right it

Itd be easier nowdaze with
All the mobile devices
Jam deliverance
Jam doodley doo
Jam instant
Jam sticky
Jam morning noon or night
Jam just jam
Jam alive
Jam the only jam ya gots
Jam perpetual

[the mingo]

[WIREMAN]

Jam instant
Jam unified
Jammin in the USA
Jammin all over the world

Although i could bring my ipad and jam during the show
Make it part of the show
Jam show
What ya know
Limitless possibilities
Like when i read all them litkicks poets in 2002 at funks coffee house
Kept the phone on so doreen could hear

Thems was exciting times
Word jam was new and sticky
Just being realized
The internet full of limitless possibilities
Cyber word explorers
Getting it out there
New frontiers
Show yer shit
Strut your stuff
With words
Fuck the trolls
And the assholes
No fear
Just the words
Dear to your heart
Pure jam

[the mingo]

to tuesday or wednesday - ? that way it won't be rushed & gets
to happen out in its own way -
