Confident
7-14-15


Got to get out today and take a good look around
Need to renounce doubt in my way
And to see my quality sound
Confident to be a guide to the blind
A light to them in darkness
It was an insane early new beginning
And in hearing they still do not understand it
But what about me
If the salt should lose its savor
It would be good for nothing
But to be trodden under the foot of man
Got my laundry soap and my quarters
Got my catfood and a gallon of milk
Got my nectarines and peaches
Hide not your light under your bushel
I rejoice in that I have spoken out
Got to get out
I come not to destroy but to fulfill....










Rain Restraint
7-14-15


The rain doth but restrain
My going out to smoke
God bless it
I had worries yesterday that I would go broke
Angry with brother in danger of judgment
The same sin as murder
Do not alms before men to be seen of them
And today I am to plant my seeds and go my way
Clayton on base
I seek today your face
Pray to the father in secret and not to be seen
The sun is beating on my back
In my remembrance of the joy that is yet to be
Where the moon is running red
And at last I am out of bed
Where your treasure is
There so will be your heart
Eye single and body full of light...










Dylan At Seven
7-14-15


Lay not up treasures on earth
Where dust and moth corrupt
Take not for granted your continuous rebirth
Worry not, take no thought
In a volcano that wants to erupt
If the eye is evil the body is full a darkness
I wait for the rain to let up
So I can step out again
Turning the rostrum over to Dylan at seven
I'll get a little bit wet
But I'll live to see today
God knows what we have need of
In myself and me
Lazarus four days asleep
Read it and rejoice
Heed it and weep
To impute, to ascribe, to attribute
And send that loving vibe
If by heirs faith
Made void a man of another tribe....










Appropriate
7-14-15


Rainy day woman
Very appropriate on this dreary day
On my third cup of coffee
Ten thousand talents  of gold to he that is willing
According to all that Haman commands
Threshing much upon desert sands
I'm ready for inspection
I know I will pass
Like wild oxen that love to chew on the grass
Unto the king's lieutenants
I want to make my guru's day
To play Blonde on Blonde
The letters are sent as like emails
In knowing that God's love never fails
Hoping the harmonica doesn't wake up the neighbors
Where the room is so stuffy
But at least I can breathe in in
Like fumes of my main vice of sin..










My Bastille
7-14-15


Fourteenth day of the seventh month
According to our calendar
The day of Bastille
Tempting me to defy it
On the opposite left
Jews' enemies are oppressed
And Christians' companions get up and get dressed
If it pleases the king
So let it be written
I make my supplication
That it won't get out of hand
If I need to be the intercessor so be it
O, take the spoil for the prey
O, bring along the oil in something I can say
To him that hath cow eyes
He will be here soon
I humble myself in my own sight
Now that far spent is the night
Lowdown, contemptible, base and mean
Bastille day on this July fourteen....
