    so I wasn't going to post this till I read my horoscope, which basically told me not to. it's been a filthy liar, though... but just in case, if language offends; the back button's up and to the left... ;)


    it may be that reality is mirage,
    that life is existential energy,
    that god/brahman/buddah are the trinity,
    but fuck it, man,
    cos this girl's on the mic
    in a grease stained T,
    and she's yellin out,
    "all howl and plunge along dogmatic groove
    or die and burn and fucking lose,"
    while pulling her hair from it's roots,
    jumping around in cowboy boots
    and we're eatin it up, man,
    yeah, we're shaking fists and gettin lit
    cos we knew, what was holy writ
    without a middle finger to call it shit?

    I left on some amazon muse,
    tribal war dance down the sidewalk
    growling at the suit-n-tie passers-by
    with holier-than-thou, robotic strides
    and fuck! I had to let em go in peace
    cos doomsday nuts were grindin teeth,
    waiting for the waking of these deceased.

    and then I heard it.... a lone saxophone
    crooning counterpoint to a stand-up bass
    at this jazz joint down a back alley staircase
    that drew our starved-soul family
    with promised distraction from purgatory

    and she was a valkyrie floating on cigar smoke....
    no! she was a thunder god fingering quaking notes
    of piercing enlightenment from her golden instrument

    and I found nirvana, man;
    the nine springs, the ode's meanings:
    all that shit, I knew it!

    I could die now, content my life was complete,
    and float off this earth with steam from the street.

    YES!!! How could you possibly imagine that would offend anyone? Ok, we think in a similar way, but I LOVED IT! The last four stanzas are my favorite. Write some more...please...for chipmunk cheeks. ;)

    glad you enjoyed... I've had this short one sitting around for a little while, always been wanting to add more to it (and maybe title it), but... I like it, small :)


    and we'll swarm,
    a monarch bodied chaos
    across fields of daphodils,

    in chilled nectar thrill
    we'll dance together,
    our rhythm synched
    to instinct,

    our antennae up-linked
    keeps the shamrock glen
    locked in.

    A perfect fractal
    of chaotic design,
    a desire for time's
    sweet and languid
    nectar and wings
    gently coating breezes
    with the honey of
    mutual tongues on
    the same flower.

    Wonderful vibe, I keep that with me lingering until I can soak up
    this evenings live music at Morning Dew.

    Peace & valkyrie blessings of flurry.

    thanks for all your comments… this one was a little different for me; inspired by some poetry from my old aol days, when censorship ran strong; and a conversation I had about Leela.
