The January 21 Knock Yer Socks Off Jam

[Lightning Rod]

take it down to the street for awhile
walk the dog
cop a bag
do a dance on the corner

play the drum
intimidate a cop
here, take my Smith & Wesson

[perezoso]

Spontaneous as an Eifel power,
thirst breath is the blessed
said the Chaplin of the hour--
let's resurrect some cap and bells
or mebbe Bakunin caps and balls--
Dillinger was a Shakespeare
of heists; Teddy K. knew Der Geist;
integrals squeal louder than wolves,
London Jack rode a wheel
from Cali to Klondike--
died with a hard on

[Lightning Rod]

When I leave my Smith & Wesson at home
I always take my Thompson. 'Specially
when I go to the movies
Chaplin on the screen, Chopin in the piano

The balcony is full of FBI's, I know it
it's only a matter of time
and the statutory rape of limitations
Shakespeare would have never guessed it

[thom]

christ again
upon my head it's said
to take my faith
in swords or fear
to tread
upon this plain,
accept this fate
now! and don't forget
to bow,
no don't mistake
that failure to uptake
this lib-er-
trea-ty and free-
king-dom
too we'll kill you
true! and please understand
our holy secret of nat-
ural obscurity,
there's nothing
to explain so
don't ask how.

[perezoso]

Comrade Mikhail
decorated a Prussian
brickwall
for about 5 years--
sentenced to death by Czars
Kaisers, marxists, and french
bureaucrats;
stowed away on ships
from Kamchatka to
Barbary Coast--

at what point does
the town Touchstone
toss away his tunes
and work on some
oxidation recipes


...fare thee well

po' ettes

[Lightning Rod]

I always found the reduction reaction to be more
useful than the mere reflux. All you need is to lose
that oxygen atom and you're in the money.
Communists don't understand this.

Even less do monarchists and stenographers
a pirate is your only hope
the jolly roger is the only thing a real
revolutionary understands.
That and a Smith & Wesson.

[WIREMAN]

place up did ya Clyde?
take: scene 2...some where
on the other side................

[bennie]

a pirate is my only hope
with jolly roger flapping
I'd wear guts pulled out of cradles
and boots of Italian leather
my mouth would spout obscenities daily
I'd have a musket in its holster
I'd threaten you and rob you blind
and steal your car for parts
then I'd set sail on my rampant ship
my belly filled with Rum
I'd fuck your daughter and stencil your forehead
with the slogans of the sea

but then there's this one tiny thing
revolving in my brain
whilst in my ship
sailing main to main
I'd realise that I can't swim...

[Doreen Peri]

Obscure words
fly by blurred by
pistol shots
in rapid fire.

Some contain
entire testaments
of kings and faith.
Tenents of men
are often stated
with a bullet bang.

You can choose
to lose your life
for a cause.
But please pause
to reflect sane
reasoning when
dying for truths
found in a
man's word.

To do so would
be absurd.
There is much
a man will lie for
but it is not worth
it for you to
die for.

[WIREMAN]

a flurry, now I'm on the
rope-a-dope, gathering
the chi....this strength
just came over my cyber
board.....let's ride..................

" this is a man's world....
this is a man's world....
but it would'nt be nothin'

woman or a lil girl!"
