People chasing what was plucked
Just that feeling of being absolutely fucked

One of my favorite dreams I’ve ever had was sitting in a movie theatre throwing oranges at the screen
The theatre dark
Film rolling with that mechanical whir
Oh how that dream did stir
Oh how poets mournfully and joyfully simultaneously use the word “oh”
Oh oh it’s magic, you know? Could you believe it’s not sow?

In laid back Cadillac dreams comes a prophet bearing lightness expelling delusional grandiosity of dizzying proportions felled by swoops gazing alacrity and denying it as I fly upward to get a better view clouds sopping wet bundling electricity hands waving gyrating excruciating unceremonious tidings from afar left ajar thrown back by knick knacks out of whack on stacks and stacks of wax grooved lines containing souls and God displaying and conveying sometimes portraying always swaying that bitch sticky fingered zippers ruining other artists charted and left right left find out and fall hit the ground take nine but not ten get your focus strengthen your knees please these effervescent foibles and follies of youth vermouth over rocks mismatched and lost socks cocked and loaded spraying connoted foreboding the wall of illusion smooth brain contusions gone for a minute left in a jiffy thrown back breaking the surface floating downward under the surface a muffled quiet scream in the water choking and breaking maneuvered far from home on a tangential macaroni mind
Unfettered worry running rampant xenophobic and what for my life’s a thousand mile island distraught by measurements only understood by Americans we can sneeze we can cough blow our noses in disgust but we must remember our health fatigued and lying down catching winks sand dusting our eyes falling backward into sleep confronting pieces of our day combining with other pieces of previous days looking for patterns resolutions conflictions addictions obsessions Conan’s assistant popped culture entertaining and coaxing jocularity hoping for hilarity and no more disparity flung into a purpose and feeling like it is worth it transfixed in a gaze able to stop for a long moment birds swooping flapping and singing trees swaying and changing exposing the pathways branches open to nests and eggs and babies and regurgitation a standing ovation for Mother Nature and The Creator’s Creator creatures most with eyes and brains but not all and possibly not most not even counting the ocean’s inhabitants all eating each other satisfying stomachs everything turning to shit or manure feeding the Earth cycles upon cycles upon cycles weather life chains of food struggling and fighting violence and blood and flames cleansing the microscopic levels of bacteria would be infectors of our guts there’s never enough but really there’s more than
I’ve heard you say a thousand times I’m just not there anymore
Wading through a thousand rhymes none suggest your aura
Lost and found disconnect and reconnect
The pleasure centers undo
Everything I thought I loved
None as swole as you
My view is spiraling swirling leaking out my head
My ears are misleading me misremembering what you said
And if I called and texted you would you reply
Or just pretend you never saw just turn your head and sigh
Days are gone and nights are here
I can hear this refrain
Too much pleasure leads to too much pain
Too much pleasure leads to too much pain
Too much pleasure leads to too much pain
What if what I thought I loved of you was never really here
Pulling bunnies from a hat the next trick is to disappear
You lied and said that I tried to cut you in half
Your legs were bunched in the secret door never even scratched
Pull a dove from my sleeve
Let’s watch it fly on by
Remember everything we have
Let’s give it one more try
All those tricks and illusions
Waving with the wand
I really don’t want to spell

Over the hills and far away
Oh darling darling darling
She walked barefoot over the bridge
White train following her
Flowers in her hands and hair
Father at her side, arms linked
She stood to face her man
Walked through a crowd of love
The crowd disappeared and it was just them
Eyes locked
Grateful
Usually unspoken understood words let loose affirming confirming bare and beautiful
A kiss to seal the deal
She wrapped her arms around him
He, her
Together
Forever
No matter the weather
This day the sun shone
God’s love abound
Smiling
Arms raised it was time to celebrate
Their love
They walked back over the bridge husband and wife
A new chapter started in the story of their life
Over any hill and no matter how far away
They will have each other
Walking a while
Together
They’ve got so much, so much

I’ve got dead friends and family in my head that give me advice They make sure I know what’s wrong and what’s right For my tastes their time here was much too short I don’t argue with them I got no retort So what if it’s just me calling out to a higher plane? I […]

Caught you looking at yourself in the mirror. After all these years I had never seen that face before. You were startled after being unkind to your reflection.
Fried pressure cooking of brain stimulating excruciating fissures of thought nomadic in action but latently still mind numb to the madness no money to shill a thrill or two or three or four five times I knocked and still you won’t answer the door leaving with my tail between my legs moon laughing and winking […]

Onward and upward songbird gleefully clacking tongue forming notes and shaping air beautifying the wind. Soaring and dodging clouds until not and getting drenched. Hallelujah to be drenched. Spell is gone at last, free at last, to bask. Onward and upward songbird. Onward and upward.
Summer’s gone and so are you Leaves must fall to begin anew Hunter of the golden ring Reminder to not forget the love we bring No one wants to, but sometimes you just have to say toodeloo Into the great beyond half stepping uptown out of the blue Roses for you and a magical fountain Flames […]

Technicolor light rail travels Unravels speeds forth Cosmic debris left in junket Dropping off and taking on passengers at every stop Sufficiently puddled muddled with orange glo Souls turn experiencing trans and mediation from stillness to birth The ceiling slackens it’s jaws enveloping iron crosses jaguars smoking tobacco In the library below a children’s dreams […]
I attended an open mic last night at “Espresso Joe’s” in Keyport, NJ. Two performers, I believe a husband and wife team, played four instrumentals. The first number was an accordion accompanied by a mandolin. The second number was a fiddle and pump organ. The last two numbers had both players on fiddle. During their […]
Finally dreaming forgetting the day I stepped off the edge, and floated away soaring through cloud-laden memories again where is she hiding, my dream-woven friend? My ally, my teacher, guide to this place She’s laughing, she’s shrieking, peek-a-boo face A bucket of clouds she dumps on my head Says, “I’m right here boy it’s time […]

a marshmallow of love flambéed and molten dripping off the stick as faces are glowing a youthful voice reminds me of passion’s past enjoying this moment while it lasts
Gone forth with a backlash Extricated and rematched Diagonally crumpled in a hatch back Yellow lights are changing faster and faster Six dimes and a slew of tunes Perusing eardrums and brain goos Never get tired of circadian rhythms Finding the daylight and pools to swim in Marched back and a ten hut Left right left but […]
I’m gonna have to blame it on the wind Didn’t see it coming, nobody did Stepping down the stairs Big big fish swam away today Wish you had more time to stay Stepping down the stairs I’m gonna have to blame it on the wind Didn’t see it coming nobody did

Lights slowly bleed in the darkened theatre Coughs and clearing throats and laughs and tears getting nearer and nearer The boss turning into a king himself sings about home An acoustic guitar, a pic, a slide, a voice, words, a bride, a grand piano, a glass of water, and an audience Act as his throne Drums are like clothes […]

“Blankets and Covers: Volume One” – Track 9 – “To Ramona” (Bob Dylan cover) (recorded October 27th 2010 at “Bayside” Keyport, NJ ) Track 9 is another Bob Dylan cover. What can I say?

“Blankets and Covers: Volume One” – Track 8 – “Dirty Old Town” (Ewan MacColl cover) (recorded November 10th 2010 at “Bayside” Keyport, NJ ) Well if it isn’t bad enough that this is a covers album, this track is a cover of a cover. However, if you listen to one song on this album I would […]

“Blankets and Covers: Volume One” – Track 6 – “You Telling Me To Calm Down Now?!?” (Verve Pipe cover) (recorded November 10th 2010 at “Bayside” Keyport, NJ ) Track 6 isn’t really a “Verve Pipe” cover nor is it music. It is a drunken rant of an open micer throwing instruments around. Sometimes drunk people […]

“Blankets and Covers: Volume One” – Track 2 – “Dust” (13th Floor Elevators cover) (recorded January 19th 2011 at “Bayside” Keyport, NJ) This song is a song appropriately called, “Dust”.

I purchased this Slash action figure for my wife a couple of years ago and he has traveled with her ever since. We are convinced that even though it is supposed to be Slash from Guns N Roses, he looks more like Joey Ramone wearing Slash’s top hat, jewelry, and rocking Slash’s guitar. I hope […]

The wars of our childhood freckled with laughs Summer days spent running and hiding, snipering, what a blast, you were always so fast Recreation, fast friends, little tykes basketball hoops, the perfect football yard, puke powered spitballs, snowball surprises, trading cards, hero quests, pinkies, cream faces, to name a few or list them Toads […]

I’ve been an admirer and collector of psychedelic poster artist Carl Alm’s art since I was a teenager. The first piece I bought was his “Spun Out”. It used to hang on the wall of my teenage bedroom, but I lost that piece in a fire in 2003. I am the proud owner of a […]
