Major Minor Madcap Mayhem Word Jam

[Doreen Peri]

Sing out in a major key,
harmonize in a minor...
come as you are
be as you be...
nothin' could be finer!

It's a Jam, man,
that's the Word!
Inanity, insanity
all the absurd!

Lay on the madcap
mayhem.....GO!
Dis be da place!
On with the show!

I'm a little early, but...
That's ok.... so what?

[jimboloco]

no man, i usually start late
wait did i stumble into da room
before the vroom the revving of engines
pacing at the gate before the starting gun?
dis be da place
disobedience
is its own reward!

Soundtrack for the Jam

Fugitive Flute

[jimboloco]

nice flute summertime
sometimes tunez
swilling wine
time for the merlot

like talkin about noah about the flood
don't be tell hell rod bout how bad you are
like talkin bout a turtle in the muddd
talking bout the sky with the birdz
the bad man'z trippin looney tunes
serenading cuckooz
an holla at the moon!

[Lightning Rod]

The band started playing in a minor key
crowd twittering, glasses clinking
the shuffle of feet just itching to dance
it was G minor if I recall
that Stormy Monday key
and a blue light settled over the room

a fantasy guard
a left-wing ramble
a conspiracy theory
about midnight

[balsa]

'round midnight
silky saxes
boozy broads
swoon and croon
we real cool, we
skip school, we
jazz june, we
die soon

[Lightning Rod]

I remember the night Miles did the jitterbug
yes, as I recall it was 'round midnight
monk was stretching his fingers
a wolf howl followed the moon

it is normal that may should look for june
cannonball is smoking one backstage
and Miles said, 'So What? yeah, So What'

[jimboloco]

my step an fetchit zombie son
the keeper of the flame
like mohammed
the mountain comes to him
he waits until it does
then flows can work as well as anyone
just has to get started and waiting proved best
now working with the next door neighbor
and plays at his leisure
likes the blue light
an the big hands they give the jam jive
a real walking music freak!

Varoom!

Quack.

VAROOM

KOOWHACK!!!

My engine just quacked up

screaching like a bellowing flute to a grinding hault

flung through glass of broken

metal gouging fatigued by none

pay attention


pay attention

don't serinade a cuckoo in a flood

[judih]

what's crazier than a loon in paris?
way outa tune
?
trick question
tricks for treats answer

if the walls ain't trampoline
don't invite me in

my chromosomes dance to a different percussion
1-2-3- Clear
don't give up
never give up

try try again
(while i watch you from this outabody location)

[jimboloco]

trampoline walls
echoes reflections
bouncing round
outa body
outa mind
outa outa outa....

[Lightning Rod]

The cries and the tries
oh, it's blue as what comes out of miles' horn
longer than reality
lucid as a dream

it's the cream of fantasy
lika bob for apples near death experience
i cope with my impediments, like you do
Try to keep them cool and blue.

[judih]

i'm so out
i'm in

i'm so in
i'm out

guess who!?

Black and white.
Simply black and white
with shades of grey.
This is the way
vision can illuminate color.
Let the hues stand out!
Let the blues be heard!
Sing your words like a diva
in a dark nightclub, black chairs,
ebony slate bar, white candles lit,
white tablecloths aglow, her hair
arranged like a tress flow, whites
of her eyes harmonized with multicolored
irises, her voice like Ella, bassline
marking rhythms, sax wailing and
there on the opposite side of the room,
a painting hung by the door.... a rothko
for sure, or maybe a dali, colors in a battle
while out in the alley, cats mew offkey tunes
worshipping the white of the moon
on a black velvet sky.
