09-30-13 Government Shut Down Blues

To govern is to rule
But the object is to fool
The sheep into believing
That everything is cool
While they steal our cash




       

09-29-13 Lazy Days In The Park

A quiet walk

in the neighborhood

on Saturday afternoon

Showered in sunshine

with birds chirping around

running through sprinklers

giggling with joyous excitement 

having fun digging in the sandbox

sailing on the swings and down the slide

laughing at the playground down the street

        

09-28-13 The Momentum Of Time

Through the span of many generations
Traditions carry on and they mean a lot
New ghosts materialize in the hallways
Energy echoes bouncing in the old walls

Symmetry of numbers in the stars above
Following footsteps through many decades
Walking in the shoes of our ancient ancestors
Facing forward toward the future looking ahead




       

09-27-13 The Purple Superfly

On a warm summer's day
The Purple Superfly came along
And stung me on my tongue

Suddenly everything turned
Strangely beautiful evil
Inside down upside out

Nothing was as it had been
Everything was not what it ever was
Still time seemed to stand still

Those old emotions
Resurfacing from the cookie jar
Unlocked memories down deep

Watching wild colors
Swirl in a spinning kaliedoscope
Like Buddhas in the blue skies above




       

09-26-13 The Stress Of Success

So many hours
Spent out in the hot sun
Inspired by hard struggles
In the mastery of this moment

Pain and precision
Executed with pinpoint accuracy
Sweat dripping slowly like a snake
Raw emotion shifting the transition

Effective production
Long days full of nervous breakdowns
Making money to live to make money
Climbing to the top of the game




       

09-25-13 Liquid Gold

Riding high with the top down
Sunset seduction under the influence
Cool glass action flip out on the strip
Social flow on an electric battlefield

Building unity within the superficials
Running the scene with passion over easy
Stacked up like a tower down in the valley
This is your time to shine in the story of light




     

09-24-13 Crazy Protection

Open


       doorbell rings



It's the Security Man



Smells like a set up


           Doesn't matter



     Ready to go to the library




                play it safe

09-23-13 Underground Truths About Immortality

Pretend to use your imagination wisely
Driving a truck across town at night
The ancient beings are still with us
Cold feet and wet socks in my shoes
Spiritual freedom inside the brain body
Warm metal oven handle in the kitchen
Deliver on the promises made at midnight
Under the table deals are running the show
Hot rods burning down the fast highway
Plastic bubble candy pop sugar sweet syrup
Wounded deeply inside my heart forever





     

09-22-13 Sunday With My Son

Quiet calm inside
When we go outside
Cool refreshing breezes
As we stroll along
Taking our time
Drinking juice
Looking up in the sky
At the airplanes
Flying overhead
You point at each one
And we both smile



     

09-21-13 Metropolitan Exorcism

Like maple syrup into diamonds
Forbidden information shower
A change of consciousness awake
Flowing flying live love jammed up

Midnight revelation shifting focus
Throwing kisses into the crowd
It was a great party in disguise
The chances are growing stronger

Boxes of happiness passed around
What a beautiful city we are in
Listening to whispers in the wind
Sweeping up the streets downtown

Little brains inside a giant universe
Various strategies for waking up
Action only comes as a last resort
Anger towards the establishment




         

09-20-13 Symptoms Of Sickness

Full body fever
Muscular pain
From head to foot
Hiding out quietly
Shivering all over
Wondering when
It's all going to end





     

09-19-13 An Ominous Presence Of Danger

There is a darkness here
A feeling that trouble is festering
An evil force that lurks in shadows
Growing stronger with each passing moment

Something bad is about to happen
Impending doom moving closer
Intense heat breathing in your face
Black clouds waiting to swallow your soul





     

09-18-13 Baby Puke

As I was getting ready for work
Our baby threw up all over the place
In his eyes in his ears up his nose on his face
So I cleaned him off and wiped him down

I hurried up and put on my jacket and tie
Ran breathless down to the subway platform
When I got on the train people made faces
I instantly knew that I smelled like baby puke





             

09-17-13 Hot Nights On The West Side

the day is fading away
heavy impulses take over
the night calls us to come alive
nightmarish excitement

yellow taxi cab invasion
skip the line and roll right in
flashes pop under sparkling stars
car horns honk as headlights shine

infected recreation on the avenue
under the influence of the silver moon
shadow moves flip out on the dark side
fast talk from the underground revolution





     

09-16-13 A State Of Lucid Dreaming

No content but all image
Invisible paint rainbow glass
Shattered symetrical patterns

Dinosaur print pajamas in bed
Snuggled under warm blankets
Relaxing for a good night's rest

Cartoon characters plotting doom
Gargoyle reflections in church
Slip past the creepers when sleeping

There can be something found inside
Anything worthwhile that can be
Identified as having a deeper meaning

09-15-13 Eternal Objects Destroyed

Ancient relics
Historical artifacts
Damaged by
The ravages
Of time
Lost to
The ages
Blown away
Like ashes





     

09-14-13 Atlantic City In The Morning

All the good stars are aligned
And we run for the roses alone
When the time is right for mayhem
In a purple elephant's daydream

Hard work ruins all the fun
Painful sacrifice for the greater good
Cold coffee and stale donuts for lunch
Dark depression on a rainy Tuesday

Hot rolls out on the boardwalk
Free drinks at the casino left us broke
Running strong for the high stakes
Good luck on a cool winning streak

A life of it's own
Unraveling quickly
In a whirlpool
Down the drain

Stomach ache
Sick in the head
Over played yet
Under appreciated

Silent destruction
The long screw
Turning slowly
Until it's too late

Bubbles of blood
Boiling red hot
Spilling out
Overflowing

Cold eyes of evil
The hand of death
Creeping from Hell
Into your home

Rebirth after all
Rising to the top
Rewarded nicely
With a happy ending

09-08-13 Going Into Hibernation

A great cleansing event
Has begun to scrub the city streets

A cold wind blows in
Where our shelter has been built

The storm has washed
So many souls swimming away

We must protect ourselves
By keeping warm and dry from rain

Prepare for the worst
As we all struggle to survive

Time to rebuild stronger
While we heal our deep wounds

Towering skyscrapers popping up
all over town this summer it seems
as if construction is swallowing the city
where robots and machines rule the day

Lethal pollution is killing our planet
Legal corruption has perverted the land
Population control is in full effect today
Nobody cares what happens to the people

Side effects may vary
Sideways visions morph
Into speed on a Saturday
Shaking off the curves

Fast words
Past lives
Bad break
Hot shot

Sour skies with Buddah in their eyes
Red wine jaguar drink and drive
Double multiflex digital stratosphere
Optical nerve locked in lost paradise

Experimental space
Celestial beings
Television radiation
Spiritual enlightenment




     

09-04-13 Flash Fried On Fire

Big moves pay off in big ways

Broken promises snap backwards
Unfriended out of nowhere fast
More than comfortable killing
You suck at everything you do

Not trying is an awesome alternative





           

09-03-13 A Broken Clock Strikes Midnight

Sitting on my brown couch
In the middle of our living room
Watching our thirteen month old son
Playing on the floor of our apartment

I wish I could freeze the hands of time
At this very moment alive forever
Echoing through the halls if infinity
Right where I've always wanted to be
