I turned those shutters the color of your eyes ‘Til the day turned into night And took turns with a jar Turn that boat dock into a bar And then we passed the guitar around the fire to each other And watched all of our friends pair off with one another But we felt like the stars we were under And everybody knew that that was our summer.

9,000 Infinities Relieves Your 19th Nervous Breakdown
This, that they were not to have, they were having. They were having now and before and always and now and now and now. Oh, now, now, now, the only now, and above all now, and there is no other now but thou now and now is the prophet. Now and forever now. Come now, now, for there is no now but now. Yes, now. Now, please now, only now, not anything else only this now, and where are you and where am I and where is the other one, and not why, not ever why, only this now; and on and always please then always now, always now, for now always one now; one only one, there is no other one but one now, one, going now, rising now, sailing now, leaving now, wheeling now, soaring now, away now, all the way now, all of all the way now; one and one is one softly, is one longingly, is one kindly, is one happily, is one in goodness, is one to cherish, is one now on earth…..

ApollonianDionysianDidacticDelineation
I had said I wasn’t going to write no more poems like this But the battlefield has oozed away from the stilted debates of semantics Beyond the questionable flexibility of primal screaming The reality of our city, jungle streets and their Gestapos Has become an attack on home, life, family and philosophy, total It is beyond the question of the advantages of didactic isms The mother F in’ dogs are in the street In Houston maybe someone said Mexicans were the new n&#%!!s In LA maybe someone said Chicanos were the new n&#%!!s In Frisco maybe someone said Orientals were the new n&#%!!s Maybe in Philadelphia and North Carolina they decided they didn’t need no new n&#%!!s I had said I wasn’t going to write no more poems like this But dogs are in the street.

Fantstico Fulgurites in Fluxxus
So I go down the streets, Down to my good friend’s house I said “Look man I’m outdoors you know, Can I stay with you maybe a couple days?” He said “Uh, let me go and ask my wife” He come out of the house, I could see it in his face I know that was no He said “I don’t know man, ah she kinda funny, you know” I said “I know, everybody funny, now you funny too” So I go back home I tell the landlady I got a job, I’m gonna pay the rent She said “Yeah?” I said “Oh yeah” And then she was so nice, Lord, she was lovey-dovey So I go in my room, pack up my things and I go, I slip on out the back door and down the streets I go She a-hollerin’ about the front rent, she’ll be lucky to get any back rent, She ain’t gonna get none of it So I stop in the local bar you know people, I go to the bar, I ring my coat, I call the bartender Said “Look man, come down here”, he got down there So what you want?

Homage to MAN RAY’s “Violon d’Ingres” (1924)
Four strings across the bridge, Ready to carry me over, Over the quavers, drunk in the bars, Out of the realm of the orchestra, Out of the realm of the orchestra. Filling me up with the shivers. Filling me up with the shivers and quivers. Filling me up with the shivers. Get the bow going! Let it scream to me…..
