Pulse
12-29-13

Proving them with pulse
O, read it and weep
Testing them with produce
In delving into the deep
Being not one to be defiled with the king's meat
Taking no thought of what to wear or what to eat
Going without sleep for days assuming my position in a lower seat
Humbling myself again in being in for a treat
Where an empty ashtray is a sign of happy lungs
Down on the corner of Mount Zion road and Market Street...




Vision Quest
12-29-13

Courageous but not arrogant
In the master of my lack of rest
Bold yet not beyond such
So that on the morrow I can be at my best
Capturing my view of my east
So I can leave behind my west
Hanging my new calendar
Concerning our children yet without blemish
In quarries we yet seek on another vision quest
With understanding in matters of dreams and visions
Courageous but not arrogant
Standing in our unity with no divisions.....





Leave
12-30-13

On this new years eve eve
I decline from the proposition and go on sick leave
To write about the fall of man in the days of Adam and Eve
Taking out of my chest my floating rib
Chilling with Dylan in the comfort zone of my crib made out of dust
And to dust doth return
Glad to be as green with so much more yet to learn
Bringing in the year of fourteen
Glad to be still unfledged and green





Compass
12-30-13

Compassed and beset of my childhood rue and regret
That I must of myself forgive and forget
And I finally got some rest
In no need today to go west
While in my new material I invest
Compassed and beset by sharp sighted ambition
That makes me ugly and so beautiful
Where I embrace my eccentricities
Compassed and beset.....
