he's a sweet harmonica home Joe soft steel raven, bending blues dripping honey from her spoon nothing quite says melancholy like a harp in cupping wah-wah glow for endless grooves, a winding show playing Take Me Home Country Road and Lennon's riff in Love Me Do with gracious silk, a satin throw a trip to the moon in a single note around the cosmos, her...

Eye candy of literacy Sit with me under the poet tree It's colorful leaves with windy wet dreams Glowing growing holy wise sandy seas Raining sonnets psalms songs of gold Beige yesterday, neon now, future silver soul Of foreign of home Of saint sinner some other zone This black leaf is Emily So dark smart sharply bleak The red leaf rouge and profound As Alice Walker's...

Lennon entered with a big guy in shades and a suit. We rode up to the fifth floor. At the time I was trying to grow a Beetle mop. Lennon turned to me. “Cool hair,” he said. I’ve got all the...
