Blackjacks are as fine as can be with or without me, dancin’ in the dark in and in a sin’s P!nk
When men and women find their hands holding and getting hotter than a S&W pistol so fine
All of the women and men fillin’ up their tanks of f their dinosaurs that move on in full synch
Just ‘cause they’ve got nothing else to do other than die at a concert of hippies smokin’ dank.
*
Mama’s movin’ in and out of Time lookin’ for the Space to be and to let be, a life of Oneness
Like a god in a black hole I found the bottom of the core of the Earth in my own soul’s kiss
Comin’ in and out of consciousness ready for the gurney to go to and fro, in and out you fool
We think you need a doctor and a nurse to tell you when you can live and die, it ain’t cool.
*
Say goodbye to the highlights of the lowlifes you saw in front of your eyes, comin’ from Ma
The Earth all above and below, you sit on top of it when you surf the waves, pony tails on Pa
Girls you think love you because they wanna be cool, checkin’ yes or no, don’t you answer!
Stars above and below the fences that corral the thousand horse power machine, you deader.
*
Be happier than you wanna be, when it’s all over, you’ll hear it inside you, I don’t wanna die
Over & over again like a broken record, I don’t wanna die, said a hundred times every hour
All we really have is nothing in particular to do with this, do not respond to screams of grief
Through the grade and high schools of the middle of American dreams, rockin’ like a thief.
*
I understand the meaning of the Unknown, what you don’t even want to know if you ask me
Coast to coast & pole to pole, there nothing worse than the men telling you to leave it free
Let your ghost go on to the sun’s and blackness of Space, naked as a jaybird, spirit in a night
Of men, a mouse and a surfboard when I’m in a curl, top of the world chasin’ a buzz to fight.
*
Heads scratched until the funky finks moved on from the swamp, backwoods’ suburban fifes
Obedient & cheerful but none of them thrifty, in debt from adolescent to a CoVid rest home
Dead & gone as it always was & always will be, you get a moment & you roll with it to Rome
You got 10G iPhone access just because there’s plants’ seeds in the ground of being’s wives.
*
Made it burn the whole way down because it had to be that way every day, addicted to Life
Want to be alive no matter what, one more breath, one more trip on that gurney to go home
The Whole Way Down I say, mighty JD or Seagram to the top, surfin’ time is on the knife
Crumbs left, picked up, bought the content of the present, days and nights spun on a flame.
*
Kissin’ in the dark, your mama’s house or my basement, all across the world over the sea
Knockin’ boots of the girls from coast to that place underground, above the Yellow Seals
Shades need drawin’ because you need the darkness when it’s just me and you, you see
It’s not a matter of form or a matter of shape of a thing or it’s contents, how it all feels.
*
Like you’re supposed to be here all grown up and raised by kind or a nasty old caretaker
On the inevitable way between here and there, straight to hell like my mama said boom
Finished before the ends amounted to the sum of the entire cosmos, infinite of a tomb
My body or my house, only for a few loved moments, enjoyed the trip & ride to Jupiter!
