Riding the current
There's no night like tonight
They're all different
I went out there
I could taste the air
The power lines buzzing
I became part of the current
Like I knew exactly what was supposed to happen
So when the pig ran the stop sign and nearly ran my ass over,
my heart didn't skip once
I watch the man across the street watch me
He's plugged in too
We're both riding the current
It's not paranoia
It's just being on
Connected by the eyes
The eyes flash like knives
In the 7-11
I watch the man behind the counter ...

Oh My God! What Have I Been Drinking Last Night?!
Xaviera
was sitting naked on
the foot of the bed and looking scared
before she turned and glanced at Aaron and Skylar
still sleeping until she stood up and
looked at the Las Vegas
skyline there.

on ludgate hill
loved walking through the city, down fleet street,
the strand, and charing cross as I am that I struggle
to stand up to it now I remember who I was as
I am still, although perhaps with less wobbly feet.

tall tales and Lilliputians
Gay came across Pope in the inn and
asked have you written anything
lately I’ve been in the evenings with
Swift and, mate, you know what that’s like ..

NYC's Guardian Angels
When you're down in the dirty gutter
Speak out, Call our names
We will lift you to another level
We fire it up, You wont hit the floor
When you walk on the ground that's sour
No need to pray, We're here to stay
You know the number when you dial to heaven
Turn it up and you will reach them today
We're like the angels
Falling from the sky, Make a wish and we'll be there
We want to guide you through violence and despair
We are the saviors from the other side
We bring your heart and soul back to life
When your hope...

the content
sir, I think you drink too much
to the detriment of your conversation
is no longer interesting
you should say so
long as I’m content and far too drunk to
care what you think
to the detriment of your conversation
is no longer interesting
you should say so

The Star That Never Sleeps
Through the north window my chamber glows,
A star with uncanny light bestows.
Through long hellish hours of blackness and fear,
In the autumn of the year, when winds jeer,
From the north they curse and whine,
Through red-leaved trees, the swamp’s grim design,
Where mutterings in shadows creep,
Under the horned moon's baleful sweep.
I sit, by the casement's cold embrace,
And watch the star that holds its place.
Cassiopeia reels from her heights so bright,
Charles’ Wain lumbers through the night. ...
A star with uncanny light bestows.
Through long hellish hours of blackness and fear,
In the autumn of the year, when winds jeer,
From the north they curse and whine,
Through red-leaved trees, the swamp’s grim design,
Where mutterings in shadows creep,
Under the horned moon's baleful sweep.
I sit, by the casement's cold embrace,
And watch the star that holds its place.
Cassiopeia reels from her heights so bright,
Charles’ Wain lumbers through the night. ...

White China Moon
White china moon
Floating across Montana
Spy high above the clouds
In the land of the silos
Red china moon
Bobbing and weaving
Powered by the sun
About 60000 feet high
Looking for clues
White china moon
Floating by Missouri
Across the plains
Heading for where the wind goes
Red china says it’s about the weather
This balloon that strayed into our land
It’s not what they say but what they do
Can’t believe in their truth
Scramble the jets over South Carolina
6 miles...

Uncrossing
Silent screams on the asphalt,
life that stops in the blink of an eye.
A feathered dream falls,
a hairy hope falls,
lost in the blur of the floor.
The road, cold and indifferent judge,
echoes in so much absence
with legs and wings,
that once vibrated
in the sweet embrace of nature.
The pain remains
in tire tracks,
a testimony to the fleeting life
and the cruel intersections
of human haste
and wild innocence.
life that stops in the blink of an eye.
A feathered dream falls,
a hairy hope falls,
lost in the blur of the floor.
The road, cold and indifferent judge,

with legs and wings,

in the sweet embrace of nature.
The pain remains
in tire tracks,
a testimony to the fleeting life

and wild innocence.

the city dwellers entry ..
the country inn was almost empty
tables and chairs aplenty,
but no one’s
there is, however,
an old man in the back, who sneers when
I enter and says, fuck the gentry
.
