is anybody out there?
talking to genies
with the perfect three wishes for the world
where we don't hold up some bodies

Tom gathers broken branches
and stubs his toes on roots.
Tywhoppity’s rich bottom

(Lean over him so the grass won’t get...

Our hill was steep, red clay rock;
hardly anything thrived there.
Stubborn blossoms of meager size
bobbed on stems spindly and bare.

Mud-red clay bricks, hot and worn;
brown-stone blocks carved tenements formed.
Concrete sidewalks slit and cracked
where children skipped a hopscotch tack.

a hint of pink above the green,

Soft and round with smiling eyes
Baking candies, cookies, cakes and pies.

No better chef could ever be
Than my dearest sweet mommy.

Mrs. Claus could not compete
With my dearest sweet mommy.

She could even charm the birds.
I saw her...

On the bus I pass by a building
We refer to as the looney bin
I can’t help but be looking

I see patients that aren’t locked in
They hang out catching a ray of sun
While smoking with an...

Magical mystical hypnotic me
Tragical tristical erotic whee
Exotic purpuric robotic see?

Making up words faster than I have any right to
It is like my muse is on...

Christmas looms in the background
I find it easy to
prepare for gift giving
and pray that I will
be a receiver of a gfit
I want those who are inspired by music
to come together in the spirt of love
