"an oldt' favorite"......ed grrrd, 'all in poe!'
len
went to toronto
to see a doctor
gettin oldt so some
changes that occur
are intellectual yet
of a growth period
that spans beyond
my past philosophies
to a poetic oldt-age
vision of all realities
in which subjectivity
equals all objectivity
len
gymnasts in...
oldt tv show daze-held
an awedee-enhanced...
andt...
todays skaters can spin...
hundreds of times a minute
while observing two reality norms...
body...
momentum seeks balance and...
balance be an automatic reaction hence
mind then observes from another space-time...
stans sand
in the oldt days there
be no daze
with respect...
crap written on out-house
walls under a
wide tree
stan sand
to be oldt fashioned...
at a fun-near-all
are some relative-at-tea...
with at least two people
knot-met since...
some long gone time ago
andt now under...
standing-smiles
lies a hum-our-being...
echoing lightly in
a wise-dome...
of minds
stans sand
time differences...
between many different
clocks on the walls andt...
shelves of various sorts
from an antique pendulum
to a wooden wrist watch...
that's two feet long with a
candle-lantern hanging on
one end and a dragon fly...
perched on the other to
keep an eye on a raven in
a picture directly above...
facing an opposite wall
clock that appears an oldt
fashioned and oversized...
transparent pocket watch
next to an old style electric
cabinet clock with a built-in...
stereo system of beautiful
sound...
stan
did the floor
had supper
also...tested some oldt candle lamps
andt....now
fueling thoughts on
tme
and...ancient greek ideas
that in some ways
were about 'being'
as a geometry
of times leftovers
'manifesting'...as environ andt us

(an oldt 'cave wall scratches' write...re-written : )
-----------------------------------------------------------------
poet trees sweet-orchard door
waking as locked
in a dream of
plato's cave
a sentry there-in spoke
an exit code and
riddled questions
- c - y - c -
1: see - why see?
2: why - why see why?
3: see - why see why see's?
so i pondered...3 -
why...see why see's?
and replied
why's...see why
seeing why...see's why
seeing why...sees why!
the sentry stated - exit...and
scratch your 3 = 2 + 1
outside the cave door then
enter the poet tree orchard
with a pebble i etched -
wise sees...why
why's see...wise why's

history repeats...
and too
oldt t.v. episodes
such as...
outer limits that
echo pass't
childhood rhymes...
of early
atomic era times
when...
patriotism was not
simply an
'us against them' butt...
was assss
'me-rear-roars
doomsday!...
a ninety second timer
to thee midnight
when all goes away!!!'...
today
the news cast said
that clock...
is still plugged into
sui-cyborgs
leaders programmed to preach...
christ's-tea and a tee
talk tee toc

the voice of jazz is as...
a projection of being...
as instruments sounding...
conversations with masters...
of old classics...
historic compositions...
being resounded once more...
endlessly and different now...
as the blossoming of seasons...
that vary year to year...
so too the jazz people...
share the oldt composers ear andt...
write some of their best music in...
a remote cottage during plague times...
like these when music replaced what...
was tavern companionship in those days...

they make their reality yours
get better marks in school
join a team and shine
make sure you grow
earn lots of money
money is life
you don't want to die
get a better job
a bigger house
another car
more money
that is the propaganda
what younger generations are taught to believe
but it is only an enforced enticement
to buy into a life of competition
that others may place their bets on wall street
and profit from others illusion of a reality
a certain prez broke existing nuclear deals
and says he/america should be the nuclear number one
that's the oldt propaganda appeal to the millennial generations

yes
it's the
same oldt
not a problem
something ridiculous
a meaning for nothing
screaming out hey man relax
no reason to rush and be early
life keeps moving at its own speed
we're just here to go along for the ride
to make what we will of scenery passing by
and establish a mechanical understanding of life
so we may see it for what it means is just dimension
but not complete as a picture of the goings on around us
requiring only memory to make sense of it all as best we can
of this shakespearean play that appears mainly in sign language
because there are at least two different plots for audience distraction
and i can't randomly keep up with the popcorning shapes called this reality
so my life is as analog to parallel and understand the happenings as music......

i'm on the poetry site dear
don't concern yourself with what i say...
when you're young it's go go go
see what the world is about
but when you're oldt it's stop and listen
see what the world is about as it goes by
stan sand
you got used to it
music on record or tape
one microphone band
now it's digital
re-recording studios
sound separations
oldt mick jagger's songs
for memory of mine ear
somehow just too clear
foreign empty sounds
conflict all memory now
no music comfort
stan sand
nineteen fifty one
and the day the earth stood still
scifi christ story
stan sand
