Some are partying,
Some are crying,
I'm recording its decline....

Elliot Smith left too soon.
Given the gift of music.
A rare recording talent.
Needle in the hay.

Poetry…
an endeavor of disturbing
contradictions
A recording of restless
anticipations
—and lasting treasure

ghost cameras
	recording spirits.
			Sure….

ghost riders
        	galloping entities
			okay….

ghost dancers
	shaking their booties
			What booties?

the casting of runes
awakens a subtle remembrance
a faint recording in substrate

the impulse to organize is unrelenting
to name to define
becomes an effort to dominate...

Your voice stained my mind
Like a cheap recording
Replaying within my brain
Burned into my mentality
I only wish
I could skip this track
And move on
To the next song

On granpappy's farm,in Arkansas
Picking cotton was the annual chore,
Recording the rural life,he saw-
Scraping a living ,on a small wage
A tender story..of coming of age....

Barbra Streisand
As an entertainer, you are in demand.
As a recording artist, you sing quite well.
When you are an actress in movies, you are funny as hell.

Die, and the chirping of the bird.
I while being surrounded by the birds 
on the edge of a cliff 
on the island of the hippocampus, 
was a recording of the 100 hours of radio drama....

Old Jonathan Winters
Would have you in splinters
His one-line feeder,
"Take me to your leader!"
Made you record-hoarding,
"This is a recording!"
It was like a toddy
"All over my body!"

George was too shy to ask Eve for a date
His frightful trembling just wouldn't abate
   So he made a recording
   Of an airliner boarding
Warning: "Last call for this Eve ~ Don't be late"...

What is the human  
perception of time

If measurement stops
and clocks will not chime

Seconds to minutes, 
minutes to hours

Pendulum still
—Big Ben disempowered

Deep inside my past did stir
  against the present's whirlwind blur
No picture, story or recording
  could match its poignance, affording

me a veil to lift, to uncover
  a past well lived, my secret lover...

Scars settle on my wrist, recording all my pain
Blood seeps from the new cuts, flowing gently from my arm
Tears running down my face, as I choke back my sobs
Someday I will be free, from the pain that chains me

My parents are bees!
Busy bees!

They keep a dog
Log

It's quite sassy
Bossy

From the top, that dog sees for miles
Smile...

They are recording a discovery now
WOW!

Then, where is my script?
Crypt

Roof we perhaps ignore
is a patient secret listener
hearing laughter and insults
silently doing her things
recording, sorting, tallying
never letting cats out of bags
when storm invites her to go
she flies with all data

The field is THERE
And that is all that can be said.
No feature worth recording.

The farm is FLAT
And that is all that can be said.
No need for more.

The farmer in this life,
And that's not all that I need say.
JESUS DIED FOR HIM....

I have a cat named Hasty
the absoulte center of my world.
Theres nothing on Earth that will make me,
give up my baby girl.
My house caught on fire
So I had to get up and go.
Watching my house burn on the oustside,
recording it with my I-Phone....Oops.

My poetry has lent
More emotional benefit
Than any psychiatric intent.

I bled on blank pages
During all my ages,
Recording heart stages.

Paper is the mirror
Showing me clearer
As therapy overseer.

every morning
now it's a recording
of a trumpet that takes 
away the silence
for the already
risen to salute
the stripes and stars

even though to this
day another army
base is just a bit
away but even further
childhood memories
still remain but
now in

revelry

Great Choir Practice

To me Choir practice might be like a waste,
And with recording of it we should be graced;
Did enjoy to end;
Then forward send;
So we would have heard it with much haste.

Jim Horn

Wrote this after hearing the greatest
practice I ever heard tonight....

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

There was a disabled musician
Who stiffly played every audition.
Now recording with care,
Strumming from his armchair,
On youtube he’ll post each composition.
