Earthbound
from the realm of the pulsing Polaris
..traveling through time zones
of timeless inspiration...

Who boast of their achievements, put on an act instead.

Himalayan Trip-Trap-2Himalayan Trip-Trap
They poured in, before the deluge
To surpass the natives in numbers
folks in their cribs -through-hearse stages,
trusting like kids, a burnished sky, blue-white,
a cocktail of the wrong and right,
and the mountains, inwardly grumbling ,
darkly forbidding…

"Give me what you got
I have no...

And drop his anchor in quiet lagoons
Or keep wind to...

The Little Red Fire Truck RideJingle, jingle... jingle
As we emptied our piggy-banks
Hoping we saved up twenty five cents
Every Saturday afternoon, we would excitedly wait
Twelve O'clock sharp the bells would ring
Screen doors flew open when we heard them
The kids in the neighborhood...
