A couple cool little pictures for everybody.
Taken on my new camera.
Groovy eh?
If I were a key
I would be in
un-obvious
un-imagined
un-thought-of
how the hell did it get there places
Down the street
From Ordinary
In the bottom of coffee cans
In shoes
Between rhythm
and blues
Dark corners
Fuzzy memories
dreams that slip-- free
Returning
half as vivid
and twice as moving
Igniting a switch
the kind of which
has never been heard
or been seen
or been smelled before
spending time
writing reason and rhyme
during thinking season
noses to the floor
searching
just searching...
for locks that mate
the key
And maybe lost treasure explodes from our mouthes
And maybe doors lock to keep us out
And maybe skeletons in closets make way for new wardrobes
Or maybe not
Maybe we spend time writing rhyme
for wrong reasons
Words are pleasin'
only to those who hear them
or see them
What about beat
stomping of feet
clapping of hands
Percussion bands
made from red knees
and shoes with more soul than
James Brown and The King put together
It's humanity
in United Tribal Harmony
That's the key
That's the reason
That's the -- stop
And Listen
It's beatin
It's beatin
It's beatin
Bum bum di dum
speaks eternal drums
from times when
the sun was our most treasured
commodity
Bum bum di dum
echoes through church halls
and hospital wards
and libraries
where thinking minds spread silence
Shh...
There are no words
to describe
the flow of the soul
through ones body...
bum bum
only beat
di dum
only beat
bum bum
only beat
di dum
only beat
only beat
only
bum bum di dum
bum bum
