altered

[firsty]

o happy itch of the opiate nose

o childhood

o hangover, brightened by sense

o mind, unused, o recycled thoughts

ow my foot

ooo those are my balls

"crank it up," said the sage,

"might'z well kick it up the mountain,

nobody else knows the heights."

[~K]

rapture dizzy
creating
new heights
flush with
infinite
combinations

chances are
we'll only fall
9 times out of 10

[stilltrucking]

rolling my rock up the mountain by the sweat of my brow
busting my back just to see the view from the mountain top
It is all down hill from there.


Doing the Sisyphus stroll

[jimboloco]

i was altered forever when i said no
no to uncle sam
no to imperialism
no to horror inflicted upon third world peoples in the name of democracy,
no to my parents
no to my grandparents
no.no.no
and so it is, out on th other side
the dissaffected,
being here now
seeing the intransigence
the stupidity
on an on
time for a change

I thought I was having a nightmare. I took out my personal Swiss army knife and jabbed the palm of my hand. I was able to feel the pain and see a drop of blood. I was not asleep. It was all really happening.Brian Willson

As the Vietnamese lieutenant and I silently made the one-plus hour return trip to our airbase in my jeep, I knew that my life was never going to be the same again.

Brian Willson


time for a change
I am saying no to life
Going through a sea change
See me now gone later
Blessed are those who have not seen

If not for cigarettes and poetry, I would be gone all ready

[firsty]

i have a change
for a hundred dollar
bill me later

the midget broke the door
running from a gump
covered in quicksand
covered in failure

there are hookers at the north pole
stuffing their pants

all terms of office
should be dnr

i want my book back.

[stilltrucking]

if I don't fail at first
I try again


Lies, all lies
I can't change

"anyone who can successfully get elected to office
should not be allowed to run"

Hail to the chief
Madame president

Condoleeza
You my girl

Meanwhile back at the oasis
The Arabs are eating their dates

[WIREMAN]

kick out da jams.................

[stilltrucking]

jamming to classic rock and roll 99.9 Fm

"I'm ah believer."

hammer hammer

new song starting

harp music playing
driving drums

Come on baby let me take you by the hand>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


candy man
he won't be here long
the future ain't what it it used to be
when I make it to the top of the mountain
and start strolling down the other side
I will know all is well
but for now this screen
too harsh for my eyes
long nights work
staring at this CRT
teaching a friendhow to scuffle for a living
she is my sister
she ain't heavy

new song african drum dread
dancing in my pants
all instrumental
horns coming in
big band rock and roll
no words
train coming as the music ends

[stilltrucking]

seeing the intransigence
the stupidity
on an on
time for a change

If I had been a Zen master I would have broke that keyboard over her head.

So now all I got to do is not let her have too much power over me. All I got to do is remember every day is father's day, earth day, mother's day, Thanksgiving Day, Chirstmas and Chanuka and Easter too, but if I had my druthers I think I will skip July 4th this year.

happy step father/grandfather's day to you all:

firsty, wireman, and jimboloco. did I forget any one?

[stilltrucking]

Ghost RIders in the sky
and here I am still goofin around here
got to save my retinas to brush up on Front Page, got to make a peronal web site for her to practice on. I wish I knew more about Power Point.

going to have to change radio stations, this one making me too happy can't tune it out. makes my fingers want to dance

keyboard jitterbug that I am.

[pandora]

[firsty]

jitterbug boy and the moonstep hop
got pop rock candy tops blowin off heads of steam
the train kep-a-rollin all fight long
no one noticed for the clanging
and the banging in the stairways
fatherhood is a dream
the men of boys are heroes and the men of toys are nothing
tapping on this keyboard
making chords
dissonant electric magnetic fields and streams of water balloons
huff huff puff puff
snitty snooty bang bang
back to the lines, men!

[stilltrucking]

from memory
"the sweetest thing is a child's belief that his father knows everything"

can't write
waiting for a knock on the door
she can't let go of me
today is mother's day?
come on ROse your daughter is here.

[stilltrucking]

Sitting here broken hearted-
every attempt to write a ku farted
