The Paradiddle of Being - Book One: The Struck World
I.
In the beginning was the Single Stroke Roll—
left-right, left-right, the primordial heartbeat
of existence itself, each alternation a binary choice
between being and non-being, the eternal paradiddle
of consciousness striking against the drumhead of reality.
Listen: the Buzz Roll...

D Street and Mayne
D street daydreams,
watered down time,
diluted with a soured lime,
streaming like faces,
caught in tour bus windows,
shading eyes from mid day light,
a winking glint on distant water,
faint gulls cry winging over,
far off sand dunes like snowy plover,
wind...

I Heard the Owl Call My Name
I heard the owl call my name,
like a backbeat in a child's voice,
etched in shadows of a father's grave,
lonely echoes on a frosted night...
at dawn I'll be immortal again,
renewed by a workaday
and the frigid...

The Roggenwolf
A familiar dawn of dull and sunless sky
the inconstant rattle of unlocked door, which
plays a backbeat to the buzz of dying fly.
A breath of wind blows a high, discordant pitch;

Quintain (Sicilian)
But Reflection Is
Never in secluded pools they dwell,
I speak of ornate waterfalls,
they rise and fall majestically,
near docks, wharves and piers,
sparkle, gleam, smooth flow trickle,
eye balm whirl fantastic perk on tap,
stickybeak on podium rapids,

Drum Beat
Enticing beat,
ancient accolades, achieving ancestry
backbeat barrage, buoyant beats
crescendo chorus calculations
dulled dirges, double drumming durations
environmental echoed egos
faint, fading fervent falsettos;
Ghost-Note grooves
hi-hat hoop heads hued
intended isolation idio-synchrony
jembe jaunt journeyings
kidi kick knockings

Musical Shed
By day the quarrymen
The music band understand
6 long month's they must wait
till their next recording session
They won't play the ashes all summer
In the winter garden
With the shed at the bottom
Until the snow subsidies again
So...

Sweet Sounds
The b ba baaa backbeat of backup beeps
and the engine rroarrrrs
join the whizz of rubber wheels
and the lingering laughter of lovers
at the intersection
The beep-beep tootelie-toots
of arriving transit buses
tickles the funny-bone of morning
waking somnambulant walkers

A Capella Erotica
No need for a loud background sound,
my howl will raise you up off the ground.
I can snatch you up with my voice,
