back when everything was in black & white, how did they tell the difference btween gold & rocks? life musta been tough b4 the 50s.

if you find yourself sinkin....

if you wanna walk, you gotta forget how to crawl

if youre gonna stand real tall you gotta learn how to fall

without breaking anything.

& if you wanna fly you gotta forget how to walk

if you wanna get real high you may forget how to talk

without bumblin, bee.

& if you find yourself sinkin just breathe & point your toes

towards the sky, oxygen, trust your nose, it knows

the human body floats, i swear it aint a myth

that life jacket got holes in it, dont even take it with

itll take you down quicker than a bucket o marbles.

if youre wantin to break ground you first gotta learn to use a shovel

& if you wanna live subterraneous you first gotta move outta your hovel.

& leave all your things behind.

& if youre wantin to be a miner of earths most precious gems

all you need is some slaves & then leave it up to thems

& crack tha whip.

a bucket without rocks in it will stay above water

what else floats? a duck. sticks. chickens. an otter.

& very small rocks.

who are you, so wise in the ways of science?

im the lorax, the manipulator of word & wood

wettin lips & bustin silence.

if you wanna come original you gotta learn to use the brain

im not sayin use more than 10%, just a different portion than say shane

or brian or phil or stu.

a different 10%. dont b scared just break on through.

touched by the hand of a higher one, son.
so we write about it........

A mass of kissed masochists

.. and while Jazz looks upon the tension and release of its own reflection, excellence asks secretly," am I a gift or should i cease to be perfection?"

love thy neighbor? while naughty neighbors love through lust? my aching heart and deleting senses alone beneath mistrust. but the neighbors' sauntered feet betray. sliding each step away from the path deemed righteous. yes, come pass along with us upon our own magnetic heading if righteousness is too ripe to swallow even with your banana breading.

..and Miles smiles because he knew. his life too was push and pull but relieving Live Evil's seething's coaxes wolves beneath the wool. morality, a pal-to-be, behind your choice determined.. inquiring minds point prodding nods when the sub-elite be vermoned. and when subtlety learned liken love, who then to toll the bell to wake a mass of kissed masochists to break out of their shell?

..and so Jazz- re-harmonizing echoes, keeping time with tempo fast- models us an Art of Love composing beauty from its past.

is there anything more funky than chicken juice?

disgusting sludge slurpin ooze the worm in the bottom of the booze

narrrr like chicken juice. lettin poltergeists go with beetlejuice beetlejuice beetlejuice!

its a heist i want yer sluice. & all the gold goes with it ruth

ill even work the thing for a day rakin rocks for no pay

& its a 23 hour shift saltin the bags o dirts that weigh

& then teachin people to pan it, i bet 3/4 of it is washin away

down the silvery silt ridden Nenana in Denali AK.

& then theres springtime, when all the poop gets uncovered

the snowbanks melt away all around it & the sniffin doggies r lovin it.

& me, not so much it smellllls like a farm in this piece

if i wanted iowa id live there in & amongst the beasts.

im anxiously awaiting the first drip tho its been a long slumber in this cave

& im hungry like mama bear now & the cubs are eager for their first day

& the hawks r already circlin pray that im not their prey

& the hawks r already circlin skies sniffin with their eyes

& im duckin headin for cover for to them im the perfect size

"i wont taste good, i swear!", swears weaseL. e toR.n from ledge

"but these here puppets, they might b enough to take off the edge!"

my manual has notes in it,.. previous readers beware... second breath

come time for fall i try to put my hands out palms down feel the heat comin of the ground
at least round the base of this ship of fools with scattered tools gathered and layed in line for the crown
dont frown its just that the cold is coming again, and again,
so dress warmer and insulate every last dormer storm or not the cold is coming. 
something along that line  lines the lines of a tablet found under a sign saying october more or less summers over.. right around time for ho ho ho'n not much light showin so instead of standin my sun take nice long bow .. say chow for a three day yearend, but then rise rise again finnigan and fill up eli's gin. let this dance begin yet again.
so whats the plan clan wild man, cuz eventually you know our folks are comin home phones been stuck on roam all round the land n try not to grow in the sand except for more recently not nessecerally relevently, rigs evidently born to burn off the dead of layers of asics' like tri, or jur. and instead of beaming microwaves he misbehaves and constantly shaves the number of adequate caves to store knowledge in, widdles the word so damn thin that you can see through its' within. The Realm of Believe. u and me are fleas, so please rover, dont roll over again...

Lose the shorts dude...

hard go the throws for its only he who knows the lessons learned..

the heat of once been burned. the tracks. the trials. the redemption of rivals.. the gravity of his spirals. but.. spiral then back.. back to footings stance. be brave in the act. lose the shorts to put on pants. rebound and prance. call it a dance.. he will know the joy in its step. once.. twice.. and all is good when he is cool as ice.

mistakes made once.. self taught hes a grad. his tassle sways in his breeze and thought. thoughts of correction. memories of wrong. but retrospect sings a confident song. to know his dones his pause left long.. but oh the shuns so son be gone. horizons bring in hues of true. how vivid while knowing what to do. each step to pull him toward and through gates and doors.. under mantles adorn with metaphor and simile smiling.. high five for ought so slyly tiling the the pieces of yester into halls of highly sought.. the choices of you are yours not bought.

everyone gets a copy of the planet manual....first breath

written thereins a map for you fine young cannibals with mandibles waving in the wind about the holy goat and training your prose to trick the nose cuz it stinks so bad.
wether yer coastin or not they're peddlin it
that settles it day in day out kettles lit
son up im mean sun down come back and rise again, finnagin.
tell us of the times gone by n that the charriots could fly n that some white guy fell from the star lit sky gold sashed and answers in his eyes cry but mostly in april and not for the likes of you or i and i so last i checked ya cant bow until youve stood for something at least as tall as u or i, so in late july wear a hat to combat harmful uv a and uv b rays, raise the maze and clear the ears in the fall with the apples. make good with booze if you so choose n puff the goat's green weeds if ya feel the need.
anyway dont fret your bass tonight just let the tone wobble like our mom, tom...

someday, maybe sunday

its a good thing im goin bald cuz that way ill never go gray

never get to experience that salt n pepper wise ol way

back in the day i never felt much like a spaulding

but now my dome b quickly growing expanding, thats not balding

& anyways if we really descended from the ape, llosing hair is evolutionary

less hairy, more upright, merry scary thoughtful think patterns secondary

& its a good thing im going blind so soon i wont hafta witness the horror

im clouding my vision as we speak, whoever said glaucomas got no aura?

its gray like the thunderclouds that rolled in 2 nights ago,

it was 20 degrees hot out, & raining wicked lightning show

the sooner i lose my vision the quicker i can collect

& my dog can finally come EVERYWHERE with me, ill get him a bright red vest

& ill never hafta take my shades off again friend & my orbs can finally take a rest

fluxxin it all up like a plumber

yeah lol i hope he went uphill climb to safety thats the deal

cuz whether we like it or not here comes natures need for gill, gil

fill the grill with mesquite n light it to unthaw it like my feet

very cold gettin old my circulations not complete

extremities are like the poor, theyre not gettin their share

dare i mention that the convention was run alot like a fair?

carnival gypsies were runnin the show

sure progress came but it was slow

& when it got there it tasted a bit like fried dough

& the locomotives were loaded with ulterior motives

& the show did exactly as expected, it disappointed.

the lions ate their trainers. the elephants wouldnt even leave the dressing room. & the grand finale was the tent collapsing upon us all.

temper your verbs in the furnace, ernest, then quench em in the rain, ...shane

sirius b stretchin words to the brink, daily. lol  the brink of the rink thats what, skatin up and down fireplacing my pockets on prime reality is on standby cuz, i dont know, too much snow, no place to go, n to much to show for it, so go for its, in view from the edge so go on and jump in, weasle's easles propped up routed n plugged in again wired for loud sound, soft sound, ultrasounds like somthing profound if ya back talkwards fast enough get past enough static clinging to last miniwheat...needin somthin else to eat with peanutsbuttersnjelly..fill the belly
i slept, flawlessly, lawlessly mouths flopped open, lookin jawless like did he just.. yup still teaching the laws of averages to these young savages runnin wild on the plains with nothing to gain from it but bad looks from the antelopes n glances from the cant elopes n sippin spirits with the holy goats, all to keep the pressures low, which way'd he go when the water rose, well uphill i suppose to find better trees please bare with the mes', witness as i dance with this muse, not tryn to confuse, sirius b just convertin these hear shoes into slippers, funkin with the skippers that are flatt and round, like any captain would carry to contest with the laws of float or not, sink or swim, fix the faucet, the waters rising out there its just frozen so only the chosen can fish.....
