perpetual jam!!!!!!!!!

[the mingo]

sitting with morning coffee
heavy mist, almost a fog out there
people with real jobs
zooming across the highway
helping the landlord get sandbags today
the rain washing the soil
off his neighbor's cornfield
carries it down the hill
right into his driveway, garage, & cellar
life on Tug Hill
sandbags & all

[WIREMAN]

a job is a job
and a chair is
still a chair
even if its 15
grand on antiques roadshow

[judih]

out on a limb

counting songs

[WIREMAN]

for some reason
this remark of yours
gave me an earworm of
Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show
- "Pack up the babies and grab the old ladies
And ev'ryone goes, 'cause everyone knows
Brother Love's Show" - ( Neil Diamond )

ain't been able to dodge it either
or drown it
or flog it
or dog it
don't even know
what connects one to the other

[the mingo]

lights along the water's edge
picking out the beat from there
sometimes slow
sometimes fast
continuous
promiscuous
habitual
beat was
beat is
beat will be
underground the roots
reaching down
holding on
reaching down
holding on
loving to hear words
sand
tree
and storm
looking out the backdoor past sundown
to see if it's clouds
or stars
in the song
or in the talk

[the mingo]

washer on spin cycle
shakes the whole longhouse
just like an earthquake
i'm waiting for the tsunami
hell yeah Mongolia!

[WIREMAN]

ac's buzzin outside
widows open
fans a blazin
happy hour approachin
river muddy
call it monocacy
lonely banks
it does not run thru
town
battles fought
none of them won
old town occupied
by general lee's army
on the gettysburg run

[the mingo]

up here General de la Montcalm
during the French & Indian war
had to free some white prisoners
to satisfy his Indian allies
six were released
with boats for a headstart
up the river
only one lived to tell the tale
the other five were never found
neither body or bones
because no one ever went looking
& no one ever asked

[WIREMAN]

satisfaction transaction
river of no return
like the british expedition
into the kyber pass
where only one man returned

jammin'
per-pet-ually
alive....alive....000000hhhhh
live fish
refried fish
red snapper
boom shaka-lacka
after the flood
wake of the nevermore
hallowed streets of Baltimore
quoth that raven
riddle me this H.L. Mencken
sing me a soulful toon Otis
jam on me!

[the mingo]

heading into the village
got errands to run
i'll jam all the way there
& all the way back
my bike is my sandal
midsummer - high grass
don't need any one's permission
just get on
and GO !

[Arcadia]

when someone asks you in these lands
"how are you?" one of the possible midway answers
is "ok, or do I tell you?"
it´s a good beggining
for checking your luggage
& considerer what to do with it the rest of the day ...

say hi! to Winter in the sky
first stars in the indigo strip
no wind, cold but not too cold
perfect weather for contemplation

[the mingo]

Go Veronica!
midsummer here
picnic weather - kayak weather - bike weather
days of sun & warm rain
good to see you
jam on !

[the mingo]

storm last night
was a war zone
thunder along the ridge went on
and on
and on
if i could jam like that
i'd go on tour

[WIREMAN]

jammin' rain showers
hotter than hades
maintaining at work
forecast looks better....70's
