Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

If I had money to go to a bar,
I'd drink in the afternoon.
I'd become a lush and bar-superstar
and soon I'd turn into a loon!
I'd dance on the tables
and pick-up the men
and bring a few back to my crib.
If I had money to go to a bar,
I'd get up on stage and ad-lib!
I'd make up some poetry
straight from my heart
and blast it out loud from the mic.
The bouncers would try to kick me out
but I'd put up a helluva fight!
And then they'd be calling the local police
to drag me away to to the slammer.
I'd awake behind bars, be released with no car,
while my head pounded like a sledgehammer!
But boy, I'd have fun and when I was done
i'd go to the bar tomorrow.
If I had money to go to a bar, I would
but I don't....
got some cash I can borrow?

the bar tabs
keep me workin
try use my sculpture
money for it
but i like quality
no cheap stuff
for this wired man
its an every other night
affair i have with the bar
sushi n saki a couple a
nights last week was
amazing, last night it
was mostly beer....ugh
i only like real good beer
and it is xpensive these daze
jam on me!

John used to always say,
"I never let my monthly bar tab
exceed my quarterly mortgage payment."

Hahaha.... I miss my friend John.
Funny guy!

0.9 degrees above zero
& i'm gonna sit here 'til something happens
be it spooks or spaghetti
i'm gonna jam a silence
i'm gonna jam a stillness
a thought of freak hobos
flashes across my mind
that means something has happened
something has changed
and i can move on now
mingo out -
jam on

freak hobos in china
seen from a train
dr. sax today
snow tumblin down
steady now
gibs got an ugly mug
made me wanna smack
my ipad
caught myself
sticks up their butts
surprised these kinda
people exist
what a haven we have here
jam on mongolia
jam on hsu un
jam on manjushri
jam on ryokan

gibs got an ugly mug
made me wanna smack
my ipad

Ha! on that score we reach, brother !
and you're dead right
of the haven we have here
was talking to doreen about how
just a couple people get to be screwjacks
to their heart's content
most sites like that -
was talking to her if she ever
saw a site where no comments allowed on the forum itself
but the poets could pm each other for their comments
that way the forum stays clean -
studio8 a standout because of the people here
everywhere else i've been- not
i'm still workin my way with the Saxman
ain't had much time to read
just at night when i get to bed
and i get to read only ten minutes or so before
my eyes close & the Kindle falls face down
on my chest
funny thing though - while i read all these
words get to going in my head
jams pure & roaring
and if i'd get up
and grab a pen ...
so ...
now i got to have
something to eat myself ...

americans think they are
better than the rest
chinese know they are
they got the ages on us
when do u ever see them
expanding their borders?
us and the Brits, but the
Brits finally learned the
hard lesson, oh i guess
u could say Tibet
but they damn sure
leave mongolia alone
there it sits between russia
and china, a bastion of freedom
badass mongols, "leave them alone!"
all hail mongolia
all hail religious freedom
it now reigns in china
in fact contrary to what
our political machine taught us
it never disappeared
hermits in the mountains
stayed, left alone till this day
u cant even do that here in
the land of the free
hell the powers that be
will come and gobble u up
run u off with sticks and guns
what is a world with
no eccentrics?
let the han shan spirit reign
let the 1st words flow
form stifles stride
viva mongolia
may u sit there upon the
asian steppes like a jewel......forever!

let the 1st words flow

that's the way
get up get deep into it
even the Khan left the people
to their beliefs
nobody can ever leave anybody alone enough
it's been a ponder to me
my whole life

fuck all this poetry sit
i want to go for a bike ride
damn january all to hell
february too
and most of march
can we see the tunnel
at the end of the light yet?

its all in the living
the seasons
now we read
we study
we discover
whats inside
the time of
movement
comes fast
spring
sprang
sprung
sprocket
rollin like a rocket
like yesterday
i remember your story
bout peddling fast
through town
dodging the abyss
what a relief
when u came thru
the other side
got my mind
on big portraits
show comin in may
area 31 here in frederick
big faces
goddesses and authors
but big...BIG!!!
all hail mongolia!
where a man's life expectancy is 62
we are there, better cherish
all the time we have left
cold...hot....wet....snowy....
all of it good
jam on me mingo
perpetually!!!

better cherish
all the time we have left

ain't that a truth
maybe the only one sober one
considering my current age -
paint them faces Wireman
paint 'em big

ya know what
i am gonna get
painting again
but this show
will be wire
workin on collages too
wanna make some small ones
4x6 and 5x7
might just
work on breasts today
from different angles
and shapes

i like working on breasts myself
though i probably wouldn't use
the word "work" in
that context

yeah as carole jean
used to say, your
not working on art
you're "pleasuring"
man that other
site is super creepy
im gonna stay away
lots a bad mojo
going on there.....ugh
i see nothing good coming
from the experience
jam on me
this peaceful spot
it is enuff
all hail mongolia!

YEAH
we like sex around here
we like sex in Mongolia too
