climb up high
on cold leather seat
and put the key
into the switch
set the handbrake
good and tight
step on the clutch
make sure it’s not in gear
pull out the choke
and pump the gas
switch on the power
and step on
the starter pedal
once it catches
let off the pedal
give it some gas
ease in the choke
foot on the brake
one on the clutch
shift in the second
not compound low
step off the brake
give it some gas
ease off the clutch
with a lurch start off
some today
will proudly say
they can drive a stick
but I wonder if
if I put them in
in 1950 truck
if they could start it
let alone drive
Christ consciousness in each awakes
Bliss magnetism, like a snowflake
Gentle caress, heightened rapture
Love lotus blooms, our soul matures
Gently flowing breeze; no handbrake

Virgil the virgin was eagerly urging
his girlfriend to make him a man
Had nowhere private to go get excited
so he bought an old caravan
The seller in Dover said it’s been checked over
it’s actually ready to take
He took his word for it as soon as he saw it
so he didn’t check the handbrake
Parked up on a hill, played safe, took a pill
He’s sure she’ll succumb to his begs
But he wasn’t able to make the van stable
He forgot to wind down the legs
But soon getting fruity with his little cutie
The van was rock rocking all day
She cried out for more then they fell to the floor
And the van began rolling away
Sped up as it rolled down a hill that was holed
And each pothole made his girl Yelp
She clearly approved and cried out ‘The earth moved
Those little blue pills really help’
But at the cliff top the van didn’t stop
And she snuggled into him sighing
He gave her a kiss and said ‘I’ll tell you this
Baby I feel like I’m flying’
We parked on an old quay
Amidst a quaint coastal setting
Surrounded by platinum clouds
Minds soon interpreting
In poise our thoughts now action
Thralled by the essence of her perfume
No longer are we in said quandary
Now down to our birth costumes
Torso's dance in front seat tangle
Steamy windows our canopy hide
Oops! we've gone and hit the handbrake
Into the water our car now rides
Phew! within moments we disembark
Facing the actions of our cahoots
Penance our thoughts now interpret
All a quiver in our birthday suits

My ears are deaf
I hate gossip
The emotions of everyday life
without words
Impressions through music
Create depth and more mindfulness
~ The wind in the willow trees has settled down ~
My ears are deaf
I hate gossip
Listening to the bluebells,
when the whole body screams for rest
An everlasting stream of information
Stress, increased pulse, and muscle tension
~ Small falling feather, the setting is visually beautiful ~
My ears are deaf
I hate gossip
Bell sheep and the taste of mountains
Without road traffic noise and ventilation systems
Give me the truth, but protect my ears
40 decibels is a harmful dose
~ The fox is ready for hunting without breaking a twig ~
My ears are deaf
I hate gossip
Your body language is a sign of lying
The crystal glass is crushed in stereo
The rattlesnake finely polished rattle
High sky with pure white clouds
Pull the handbrake
~ Swans that majestically float on the water ~

Without limits
Destination unknown, but I am going to a place I call home.
It’s far away beyond the stars, beyond the lights and noise of cars.
Flying through the universe, thinking fast,
No handbrake on, welcoming death as a matter of fact.
After drinking to feed my thirst;
This is no time for stopping or reverse.
The track is set; I am on my way,
To seeing the edge of all that came
And all that which passed across my eyes.
I have seen it all so I have no goodbyes.
To all I left behind to cry, I wish you well; but all things die,
And in the end if I made a dent inside your heart,
Then I made an impact on who you are.
You made all this worth it,
When I was thinking I am worthless.
I had to write it, just to say it;
I just could never understand my mess.
My head in a state of lah-di-dah;
You and I have come so far…oh so very far.
All of this it changes us,
But still we rise and still we fall.
I am falling still into the dust;
My gift, my world, has crumbled like the walls,
That reside around my heart shaped hole.
The walls are gone…fly away soul.

Do not take a laxative and sleeping pill on the same night
Do not bend over in skinny jeans that are way too tight
Do not kick the can towards your best pal's girl for a fight
Do not keep eating cause your taste buds are in delight
Do not use your bicycle handbrake speeding downhill
Do not use an umbrella on windy days for thrills
Do not keep asking are we there yet
Do not try to remember what you can't forget
Do not walk in the middle of a busy street
Do not ask for directions, are schedules meant to keep
Do not answer her if she looks really fat
Do not keep your wallet under your cap
Do not be serious all the time
Do not be delirious searching for a rhyme
Do not be over sweet just sorta kind
Do not be worried, relax your on overtime
DHJ at 35 Taxi driver...
Had two guys in the back seat plotting to rob him,
so he opened it up to 75mph,
and put it into a shuddering slide,
Reefed on the handbrake, stalled it died,
drew the crank-handle, 4 the attack they tried,
and outed em with the crankhandle below the ear,
and then he robbed them dear,
and left em on the side,
Dont play with johnson its suicide....
