still trucking goals

[joel]

You massive big rigs: iron horses’ foals
who headlong gallop, mustang symbols, free
and fury-bound and furiously set
like herds of force stampeded on the roads—
especially at night, when high beam glares
triangulate an empty otherwise—
whoop-ee-ti-yi-o. Saddle up a truck
and let me go and wish me all the luck
that you can spare and let me fantasize
of power, kingdom, glory— all the cares
a battle-ready knight would love. Your loads
of capital offense, commercial freight,
exhausted diesel soot: I knowingly
ignore for verses’ sake, still trucking goals.

ignore for verses’ sake, still trucking goals.

Mostly to stop this compulsive scribbling

Just something else I got to lose

sooner or later

yeah this is it Joel

Just to keep on scribbling

Maybe be here still scribbling next april

Been a sad day so far joel

I feel like I would feel guilty if I felt happy.

Nothing to do with your poem which was sweet

Speaking of sweet poems have you ever read Gary Synder's Why Log Truck Drivers wake up earlier than students of Zen.

I been thinking about it a lot the trucker sitting up their in the high seat because there is no other life for him. And behind him he leaves 30 miles of dust.


sorry for the ramble

enjoyed the poem
roll on joel

I lost that life
over the road
but I still got plenty left to lose.

[joel]

sorry your day's not been the best in
life
i can't make anyone remember what's good about it,
i can only share what i see
and i appreciate what i've been shown of life
so i wanted to say thanks for it
and i anticipate future lessons
eagerly

[stilltrucking]

That is what I got today joel
A lesson
and I used to love that line about all things work to the good of those that love god.

sounds so sappy these days

but I keep the faith
the best I can
Heretical though it be.

thanks for a few minutes of reading oblivion
very pleasurable
I must be going into my senility
my second child hood
I am polymorphously perverse
and pleasure mad

Kind of a Freudian joke that
some people raised on the holy trinity
for some of us it was the Ego, Id, and Supergo



I am leaving some tracks in the sand, watch the tide roll in and wash them away. And I try to drop some "crumbs of happiness" for the birdies to feed on. ANd I cast my words upon the waters, and sometimes I get lucky and some nice delicious fish bites on them.

GB Shaw: Every genuinely religious person is a heretic, and therefore a revolutionist.

I love that one. I can't get enough of it. I don't need revolution in form so long as I can find it in content.

I bless you, Love, for such theology
as roots my faith in sure geology.

Rocky Road as religious as it gets for me joel
I love geology
but I take a pass on the theology
Walter Kaufmann as theological as I can stand.

I just remembeed waht a bad day feels like
This is a good day, no pain, at least only psychical not physical.

Nothing alike a bit of poetry to toy wiht
