Lonely Silence Of May Skies
5-17-97


Dolor covers the skies
Appearing to bring rain
Breezes speak words of rest
This is one of my homes
I have no set residence


Nowhere to go
Nothing to know
I may as well crash out
To bring peace
Upon awakening....










Waiting At Marty Graw's Place
5-18-97


Feeling so uninspired
That it's a joke
I figure what the heaven
I'll light a smoke
The surroundings are paradise
The time, a sacrifice
The life, a dream


Little people are planted
Wishes here are granted
The gardens, the soil
The patience, a toil
The moment is still
The cup needs a refill
But why must I?
Must I?






* the answer to my prayer: I pray that my poems will be much more than words spoke into thin air....
the answer was that it had new meaning....




Simple Example Of Blue Illusion
5-18-97


Good intentions, have I
On this day of a seemingly clear blue sky
It feels quite that way
Until I look up at it
Pleasant scenes of green fill the air
Every sight, a miracle on the scene
Without a care
Aromas of barbeque
O, hell, I can do better than this
Let's see
I can set up the dis
Or would he do it for me?




*things seen temporal, things unseen eternal










Bringing New Wonder
5-18-97


Never satisfied am I
On adventure of temporary fantasies
Hoping God's creations would bring new wonder
For my motion picture way of life
I'm a sad and lonely man
They say I am not alone
They say it's gonna' take some time
But every time I'm in too much need
I seem to commit some kind of crime


Still aware of the background
Feeling as if the world is hollow
The earth could shatter at any moment
And Where is where we can go.....






* don't ask why, ask instead what can I learn from this?










City Of Camel Chips
5-19-97


Back to the city of shit
And I really have to take one
Minding my bees
Swatting the fleas


Hours later
Attitude adjustment
Back to Earth
Or is this Mars
No one around to put the blame on
And for that matter
Let alone
No one to put the blame on me


The blonde tries to lead
Yet I do not follow
New insight comes from grounding
As my life, never a destination
I'm better off alone
I can make a bet
I bet you the time of day
That I won't get it




* this one is inspired by Live, shit towne namely York, Pa...










Skew It
5-19-97


My ass is as hard as a rock
Don't ask me why
I need a lift
.... hitchhiker's sign
Or the timeout gesture
Form a line
Ask me for the info
I deal with mojo
And feed on mofo
And life is a lie of itself
Harnessed the power
Caffeine overdose
Comedy is stored up in my brain
Like a Big Bang waiting to happen
Brain cells flunking out of school up there
And it's really up there
Don't you wish it was this cool for real
But what is real?
This track is skew
The points here never meet
The motor is turning
My hubcap is speaking
He says, "I Want More!"


...Stoned off my ass
Where is my ass anyway
I remind myself of the nowhere man
Writing for no one but Nobody
This can get me
They will get Me


"You're gonna' get it", she cried
In my soul, senses amplified
The world is unaware
Of my intention to love
New interest
New insight
A mental turn on, She is
Nothing physical here
Unless of course I conform
Or I project
Or I transcend
Or I convert
Attraction is infringed
Everything changes
My seasons are constantly rearranging
My life is a time warp all the time
That's my joke
That's my game
That's my life
This is my life.....
