His parents knew on sight
Their bundle of pure joy and bliss

“METROPOLIS BLUES”

The elemental wind
curls in from the north east,
sublime salon creations in
disarray, in grimy profusion
inventiveness subsides.
The town clock strikes out,
within ear shot, a bench seat plays
host to a cast of thousands. 
Soon! succulent rotting form...

The House At the End of the Street
There was a house at the end of my street
No-one lived there for very long
During the war, an entire family wiped out
When an aeroplane dropped a bomb

The family living there at the time
Amounted to unlucky...

But the empire isn't doing too great.

Too bad for the middle class and the forgotten man.

And obviously skillful at breaking and...

I feared print journalism’s future was in doubt

A Need To Be Somewhere Else
I’m the one who needs to be somewhere else, 
I cannot stay in one place.
The grass is green where I’ve never been

When I look back on every track

No Place Left To Roam
When I was a small child

Must have blazed a hundred paths
Just to see what I could find.

And I cried out “I won’t go!”
Left my home...

Premium Member Artistic Freedom In the Wild
There are no shape walls

unbound by meter or syllable count
embracing nakedness
yanked naked in its virginity
The binding belt of chastity
given over to lyrical lovers
Sleeping quietly in the meadows
a pristine area...

Rolling with my homies
