The Needle In the Groove
pick up the pen
or
pick up the can
they both
both
lead to
the same same same
p l a ce
BUT i listen to
my heart no not
in the way
you may
think
romantically
i'm talking
about the beat
how it's not
i n sync
with the
flow of the
stream that's next
to me and the honk
of geese unlike the
silent spiral of buzz
ards over me for i'm
in harm
ony with the
music of the
spheres but it's
my rythme that's
keep ing
me in
beat WITH years
doors knocking hugging
back slapping ocean wa
ves beating son's drums
doldrums mosquito hum
s some snores from nap
ping ping pong laughing
bouncing off a stage bo
oing audience demand i
ng what's real music to t
hem
old sewing machine
foot and finger
peddle mend
ing an old
time dew
rag mama
can't stop but
to wipe my brow
here comes another
rise
SUN
