heart of mine of yours

---

the show must go on

toubab in the background

harmonizing with the crickets out the window

out the window

there is a place where crickets screech, chirp their chirp tens times as loud than here

can you imagine the sound

drowning out all fear

like the sounds of violins and pianos

drowning out mind

unless you are tired and your mind wanders

and you re sitting down

and not standing up

like the girl with violin

playing her tune

Beethoven sonata

contrasting themes

3 parts

what are they called?

it was excellent with a new music hall

years in the making

I was once there

now I am back

as a guest

in your hall of music

thank you for that

hard work

and expression

and funky button-down shirt

contrasting shirt

like the sonata

with contrasting themes

I see now

and I walked her, we walked together

afterwards

after congratulating Sarah on her performance

we walked together

up the sidewalk

senate race

and wildlife and fisheries

and no helmets

she doesn't like it

and





Tuesday is our night for the next meeting



I had a song that went something like give me a hug because it's Tuesday, yes its Tuesday

written in response to an AT hiker who gave out hugs just because it was Tuesday

fun guy he was

groovy was his trail name

groovy and No Pain

drinking together

forever

ingrained in my mind

they had such a good time

that night

morning?



we'll you know how that goes when you dance all night and then stay up writing

then roast in the mid-day sun

and then meet with your loved one

talking on the phone to grandma

and leaving messages

for friends

and thinking of mom

and john

and all the folk

the folk tunes

that come from me

that go like this...



out in the desert

without a pain

until you come across that old octane

engine it can burst

sixty to a hundred

drowning out all sound

except for the wonder

cause wonder will remain

if you still got game

don't let it go

gotta be in the flow

the flow of life

universal web

the spiders that keep dancing in my head

but then you let em go

do their thing

they kept you from eating that chicken wing

ordinary people aint so ordinary

we got to be

what we already are

extraordinary

people do strange things

going to wendys

ordering things

taco bell is the place to be

beans and cheese and cheese and beans

back to the desert

out in funeral

clothes are dancing without no holes

for bodies to come out of

they dance all alone

across the naked skies

because they forgot their panty hose

desert child across the skies

painted rose

painted face

paint the desert when you have no trace

of sense

when it has all gone and you are left with forgiveness

that's all there is

people are complaining about their panty hose

go to the desert

and see it for what it is

streaks and curls and shapes and descents

cigarettes and trash picked up and thrown away

taco bell and curls

and smiles and bikes

I am

that

I am

what would dustin say about that?

forgiveness is the key

like Jesus said

Buddha and his pal Ram Das





be here now

and there is no forgiving

because you have done what you have done

and there is no turning back

nothing to forgive

unless you spill her beer

and she's looking mad

then it is time

to say your sorry

then go about your business

let her dance with charley







I will stop rambling

I will let be be

I sing to you

if you sing to me

I will hold your hand

and walk with you

if you'll love me

through and through

I will go with you to China

across the ocean desert

we can sail away

and we can be the same

yet different

doing what we do

ill hold your hand

if youll hold mine

and see eye to eye

nothing in disquise

because disguises are weak

only good for costume

they can leave the room

but you gotta stay here

and be with me

because their aint no because

only this

time and space

as nietzche said

be the uber man

wont you be my uber girl

take that bike and ride

sally ride

wont you be my girl

do you love me?

now that I can dance

watch me now

work work







and all that jazz





trains blowing loud

cars flying crowd

streets crowded high with people

marching through town going to steeple

preachin the word

the word of God

the voice of heaven ringing loud

in our ears mind and throat

billy goat

to eat the grass for the people

who have lost innocence

trains keep rolling

skies unfoldin

picture a clown with no hope

you just cant do it

unless it is a mean clown

don't mess with tem!

take patch adams

he is the best

trains rollin skies unfoldin

keep on rollin friends keep on truckin

till the end

when silence reigns

when the voice of heaven regains scope

you become the pope

becsue you always were

you just forgot

to clean you nose

and look inside

that heart of mine



thanks for listening
