Stay awake until tomorrow
Monsters under your bed
Broken dreams in between

Walking down Lexington Avenue
Thinking about crazy complications
Stop to watch the world spinning round
Check the Yankees score before sunset

Ice cream social security guard knowledge
Sleeping in the sand on a secluded beach

Suspicious religious warriors live in shadows

Vampires on vacation in New York City
Catching a cab on their way back uptown
Howling at the moonlight drinking poison
Dancing all night at the disco in the movies

Grow up in magic ways
Stay young at any cost
Be safe if disaster calls

09-05-17 Lunchtime In Madison Square Park

These trees have seen it all
Every sunrise in the last century

A small child seeing it for the first time

Hide away in a hidden spaceport
Fly away across the galaxy forever
Achieve ultimate rock star status

From the dark storm
Ready to dry out

Civilization crumbles on television
Plunge into widespread power outages

Thinking about life
Falling asleep quietly

Hometown blues on Main Street

Time heals all wounds but fades away fast

Monsters in my brains
Lobsters in a pinch

Change the alternate ending
Pressure from the top down
Nevertheless we push forward
Dancing with our moon boots

Philosopher's psychology slip
Chocolate answers in secret places
Relationship advice from demons
Bacon dipped in barbecue sauce

08-12-17 No Kisses For Killers

You know the difference
Between right and wrong
And you choose darkness

Anger inside your heart
Has given birth to hatred
On your awful journey

The road to destruction
Becomes a dead end street
Into your evil soul

Then you get what you deserve
When darkness comes home
In a cloud of black smoke rising

Is wherever you are

Take a long drive on a hot night
Enjoy the sunshine while you can
Summer will be over very soon

08-06-17 Days Of Delight

Send my heart out in a letter
To the universe that we created
When the time zone shift changes
Backwards to where we used to be

The memories we made are reality
The streets we walked are still alive
This neighborhood is all the same
Glad I still have you to share it with

Fun time riots on weekday nights
Old friendships rekindled in a flash
Those glory days are back in action again
We'll always have the photos to prove it

Remember when we beat the crowds
And won the battle for supremacy
On the hot dance floor all night long
I held you tight and wouldn't let you go

08-05-17 Crowd Surfers

Weaving our way
Through the huge crowd
In a mighty flash forward
Swerving and switching
Stop to pick up a buck
Put it in my back pocket
Grab a drink and think
Blend in with the herd
Find a secret staircase
Get some fresh air outside
Grab a hot slice of pizza
Hop on an uptown train
When it's time to go home

Of Madison Square Garden
Inside a hidden staircase
After a Friday night show
Spirits came up from below
And returned us to our destiny
Vibrating deep within these walls

Radiate divine light all around you
Let your spirit soar and spin away

Floorboards squeak
In an old country home
Twisted by many hands
Throughout the decades
Built to last forever
In old wood timbers
Capturing energies
Frozen in a time warp

07-23-17 Train Station Thoughts

Fall asleep with a sound
Mind the gap step away
Dream about golden ages
Drop the flowers in water
Own the world around us
Flashing lights color splash
Giant steps on city streets
Snooze on the morning train
Subway graffiti imagination

07-22-17 Notes From Nowhere Special

Empty chair at the table
Twenty years later it's fresh
The slaughter of heartache

Sometimes I cry alone
In the afternoon darkness
Trying to survive alive

Mutant elephants fly
The devil owns your soul
Glass poison killers

Hard to see the future
Without recognizing yesterday
Always stuck in the present

07-21-17 Faces In The Crowd

Herds of people
Stampeding like cattle
I can see you in the crowd
From out of the blueberries
From nowhere into everywhere
And anywhere in between
So I lend you my hand
To walk along with you
Until tomorrow's end

07-20-17 Thanks For The Smile

Get ready for anything
It's all going to happen
It's already happening
You're always happy

07-19-17 Evolution Reflection

Who will go back
To read this stuff
In the far future
When humans are
Long gone away

When robots rule
Will there be memories
Of the world we created
Or will any of it matter
We are living computers

Cold and alone
Dark and quiet
Slow for a spell
Frozen below time
Shelter from storms
Protection in the wild

07-15-17 Saturday Night Wasteland

Fell asleep on the couch
Watching The Honeymooners
Dreamed that I went to Japan
To find rare old Star Wars toys

07-14-17 Slug Face

Some people love
That slimy old slug face
Rolling down the street
In his blue disco suit

With fake orange hair
And red hot lava all over
Swimming in his shoes
Flounder fluff and repeat

Slug face slush fund flush
Backwards language speak
Barf all over the front seat
Into warm puddles of mess

07-13-17 Searching For Soul

long drawn out dream
ice cream fantasy beans
laser beams in the sky
flying fish fry dry dock

creatures of the night
fighting for what is right
crying in the dark smiling
file folders following style

held to a higher standard
frozen below zero forever
foolish feast of burning
beast of famine is a burden

say it like it's a bad thing
when the timing wasn't right
old New York in the mirror
find your self on the sidewalk

In a rocket ship to outer space
Beyond the moon and stars
To start a new life on Mars

Infrastructure improvements

Seeing many sunsets
Everything stays the same

Car race speed chase

Crystal clear electric

Crazy rant under cover

Hide underground alone 

Find the truth in reality 

07-08-17 Barefoot On The Boardwalk

With a squeeze of lemon
In mists of salty ocean spray
Sandy hair sunburn skin

In the dead of night
Lights go out quietly
The world changes
Wake up in a crisis

Red brick walls
Have stood tall
For long decades
Beside skyscrapers

Crumbling now
Into a pile of rubble
Soon to be reborn
As a glass steel giant

07-03-17 Anything But The Truth

Show us what we want to hear
Fireballs in your face again
Fireworks reflect in your eyes
Love is in bloom in the park
Ninjas are hiding in shadows
Cracking on the floor below
Fake news smokescreen plot
Look over there at distractions
Elephants on parade in paradise
Sizzling bacon on a plate of eggs
Casual types sleep under the stars
Tomorrow we go back to work

07-03-17 We'll Make It Happy

Lying quietly still
Hearing voices

Thoughts fade out
Images come alive
Slipping into a dream

But life goes on without us

Finally some quiet contemplation

06-25-17 Astro Farm

I want to be a crazy space chicken

You are the only one who can save us

Sunshine superfly superstar sensation

06-20-17 Imperfect Centuries

Imperfection in the glass
Ripped through the years
Shattered in old age rage

Swirling colors harden

Looking into the mirror
Ageless beauty that time forgot
Cracked pictures of youth

06-19-17 Treehouse Philosophy

Reliving past glories on the battlefield
Ancient ghosts welcome us with joy

Graffiti sticks on a brick wall

06-14-17 Summer Splash Water Fountain

Afternoon day off
Lazy haze in a daze
Pays off handsomely
Taking a deep snooze
Daydreaming in space
Swimming in sunshine

Drinking sweet water
Straight from the fountain
First to quench our thirst

06-13-17 Now It All Makes Sense

Purple sunshine smiles
Legendary magic charms
Out of this world flavors

These are the moments we love
Memories of the other side
While traveling into the future

Safe from the elements
Warm and dry another day
Mother Nature unleashed

06-03-17 Dreams Inside A Wormhole

Golden unicorns

The polka dotted world
Of multicolored images
Trapped deep inside
A child's imagination

and save the world 

for tomorrow
