Artichoke
4-24-17

You are my inspiration
O, come to my rescue
For yet a little while
I get lost inside this mortal shell
Of Spirit and wisdom
Devoid no longer of meaning
I wear my badge with dignity
To be a part of those less fortunate
In my lady bug t-shirt
Ancient history
O, let me see by the aspen
O, younger tree
About the science of the sky with a bitter taste
Turning sweet
Please brush the hair out of your face
And time flies on through
Like questions void and vain
I just want to be...




Waking Up Slowly
4-24-17

After the manner of Egypt
I am what I am still trying to stay off the wine
And seek it in and outside of my closet
Therefore thus saith the Lord
As to make a consumption
Never mind my blues for breakfast
This morning waking up slowly
As I can but be in tomorrow's grisly air
Back up power closed circuit
Direct current until the lights come back on
To let us climb the trees and pray for all to be well with the neighborhood
Wandering boy, you're not too far from here and there is light
Praise God there is right might
For yet a little while...





Miracle Of Electric Light
4-24-17

We all work our miracles
As I kindle a fire and gospel's reign
People as the sand of the sea
And as the stars of heaven
I'll be your gypsy joker and chain smoker
Consumption ever determined and no complaints
For gathering eggs after the manner of our personal Babylon
Where I don't care for coming down every once in awhile
Hip in rich oppression here and now
Is wherever you make it
Lights back on with my computer
Not a new contraband
Do you mind my heart drifting?
