man said

ive been doing this so long I don't know what else to do

ive heard that before

and those lines both came from musicians

corn bread is his name

wailing on the harmonica

wurlitzer bass drum and tambourine

stevie jones is his name doin the same

the steady beat of the drum, moan of the voice

shaking of the head







how often do we get distracted?



😊



though it is late

I will find time find time to write

before I say goodnight



for this time of writing

comes up like a spring in the mountains so fresh and clear

like mind so dear



like droplets of rain

who have forsaken the sky

now flowing soaking into ground

water taken going nowhere



though I am full of pizza

my belly protrudes

don't be rude and examine each word just take it as it comes rumb a dum dum



like life as you create

take it as it comes and listen for the words

Worley and synchronicity

Worley/corn bread

doing his thang

chicken wang



create a pattern play a game

we all do it for the sake of remaining sane

rolling words off our tongue in voices crunchy and grimy

and full of whiskey bourbon

cigarettes

and good times

pool tables and clicking balls

dancing strangers

and all of the above



record players and basements and voice serene

playing tunes of love

locomotive scenes

travelling cross country from

knowville to green

Knoxville knowsville

temporary obscene

scene of plains and downtown buildings

you've got it all in your back pocket if you know where to look

and just reach for it

reach

for the stars as cheezy blurbs

you give and give and take

receive

and joy



what do ya know?

innate talents

screaming faces

cries for help in disgusting places

of mind and thought

and physicalness

Africa?

never been

what do you know

forever is a dream

the seams unfold and widen

gaps created to poseidon

for Poseidon

the storm approaches and you sense it coming



and you remain

unspoken





the storm has passed and you lie in the grass

soakin wet

cause you couldnt move

paralyzed from head to toe

with your words of fear bespoken from old

and new and grace

and fears all dropped

you keep goin and cookin

and working the lot

dancin on the street

and side room bars

and pollutin your teeth with extra additives

say no to barley and hops and yes to dry wine

put it in your moth and you feelin fine

go on listening to what you have before

I like spice and chicken

chicken once more

the tractors are pulling greasy heads

you wail and groan

didn't hear what you said

bawk bawk

scratch scratch

please stop a moanin

groan instead

little difference

but I hear your plea

may the plea be please

please receive

the words of kindness and love

you see

im writing in a flow and heart from above

and below

tokens and gold

plated hearts

and silver loads of joy

a gold rush of ages

sprouting from wells

of

so on and so forth

green words turn brown

voices and distractions turn your smile upside down

till you realize that all is in joy

make it happen

happen happen

go where you please

and do as youre told

as long as you keep listenin

make each moment mold

to your kind words and thoughts

abode

the mold of creation came from

the man

who let you take his cane he no longer needed

cause he left his game

left the world

became healed

placing his bets on a better deal

healed himself one body to the next

you keep on saying

when will it come next

when will it come next

people dying by the day the hour the minute

I don't see

I see the bug crushed by the foot of the man

who said ill kill you and eat you and not give a damn

restless and truth they intertwine

all intertwines when your thoughts are divine

I me you

take what you will leave the rest behind

I know you will

willingness to decide

what is best for you is best for me

going to africa

someday see

Emily and love

and choice words

and all in all

you may have heard

what lie beneath will surface

eventually

if it takes a lifetime of love

you'll see it soon

maybe in the afterlife

maybe now

youre choosing each moment to not take a vow

or take these words

and read them not

or take the thought

and forgive it a lot

I see you doing good

having a great day

left on your own

go have a great day

concentrate

as yoda says

focus on the force and eat cornbread

music and rhymes given to me by you the one

the ones

who made it

all of us

figuring it out

look how far wheve come

and imagine how far we'll go

so I am the tired man

who should stop now

thanks for listening to my ramble

and ramble on

sing your song

as you have always done

change a word a step

and learn something new

its all right there inside of you

waiting to emerge

emerge once heard

the world will spin faster and merge

with you

what more can I say

have I said all that can be said?

here is a haiku

to put you to bed



be not want not true

upset happy blue skies blue

green and turquoise sea



be something new dude

just be and be taken through

the wringer and see



when you come out fresh

and dry and clean you will think

happiness is what?



you make it and dance

the night away sweet one dance

the night astray pray



for war not peace on

opposite day what is that

when were all on stage



making a way out

making a way in for peace

and be settled in



love is where it is

if you let it soak in love

will take you home
