Jackals attack the Lion,
It's a bad mistake.

Jackals,
the Vulture's pets,
attack the lion
until it's too late.

Leave the lion be,
see?
Wrapped round vultures wings,
Jackals push until it's too late
Doing bloody, gutwretched things.

Jackal's mess with the Lion
Oh Waukesha is the last bite
Until the Lion has had enough
Extends his claws
The time to strike.

The Vultures, he'll get to later
Jackals never had even known
How wrapped round vulture's wings
they are, until all their chances
are blown.

Waukesha, now, is the last one.
Jackals need not respectability
They'd just ripped and bit,
and cut and tear
until tangled to a t

forty sixteen north nineteen
a jackal drawn from a card
mowed down, now, several young lions,
now,
being evil
for a jackal
ain't hard.

When Big Lion sees, and gets his run
his taste of blood is high
After time and time of
turn the other cheek
he says the time to devour is mine.

Waukesha, Waukesha
Waukesha, Waukesha
Jackals, how have vultures led?
The Lions of life
Lions of the modern world
are uprisen,
pissed,
fiery red.

Pendulum Dash

,


Runner Up for the Pendulum Dash
Head toward the Rain, 
Run out of Breath holy fast
Dread behind and high hopes
In a satchel shook loose
Hang around
In the Skies
Check the time, 
Here way too soon.

Well, wait a while
Til the buzzards
Come walking
On their own

Meet you there
At the right spot
Outside 
Their secret home

They've got a satchel 
And a dial
Tuned to a
contagious plan.
They cut you down
Before you thud
Reaching out
To give a hand

Gonna need
A couple days
Gonna split up
Go several ways
Gonna keep
A satchel wide
Gonna tune out
Contemptuous 

Here's a mountain
Go halfway up
Pull a letter
Out of a tree
Read it silent 
With buzzards elsewhere
Written explanations
'Why they chose me.'

Well son you ain't 
On that list
Of enclosed 
Humanity
You can't dispose of
Wretched pasts
Let lone high hopes
Or burnt debri

So those wicked birds 
Or wicked, they say,
Will sparse the skies
And have their may
They're going to send satchels
Partially open
To all of those
Who just can't pay

Because its going to take the lost
Like you and you
And it takes the lost
Like you and you
To open your eyes to
Financial bloodlust
Who even villify
The buzzards, too.

That's why its raining ashes,

Silent Seasons



From the silent seasons are where I wish to you a graceful movement into a new year.
Find warmth and good meal, whoever you are, wherever you may be.

Signi,Mander,Electric Wings,Slithers

Signi, with a field mouse snack hanging in a grin.
             This is Signi, Short for Significant meaning. Or Signified-at-once. After walking over the lip of the hill I first saw Signi half hidden through some of the waist-high grass. Signi had stared and I gazed back. There was no fear of insight like there may be if you look an unknown biped into the eyes the wrong way say outside of a sandwich shop or near a park. Actually I was surprised at how calmly it felt after perceiving and then taking in what was registered into my site.
            Laughter of appreciation came in because I had been thinking of myself as a wolf or coyote-like creature nights before actually howling like a madman into the night skies. Part of it was for self-amusement but the remaining reason was a practice of letting loose from those gripping feelings of feeling not like a citzen but moreso as an unregistered being of illegal thoughts. That happens a bit, so this time I howled frankly howling works a hell of a lot better than some other methods, like internal regression.
The secret of laughter, as I've been hinted at, really is a nurturing way to make light of any situation. So then, maybe those calls attracted Signi shortly soon after. It was my first time seeing a Coyote in person. After a few moments of staring back and then posing for a portrait had Signi scurried off towards a large stone that lays in the woodland and I started off my own direction.

Signi/Uncropped photograph

                   That was the 5th*. Days have went from the ground land to being a bit more light footed. Feeling as if I may sink into the planet I decided to unite a feather to my hair to allow a feeling of lightheartedness/footedness if possible. If anything, it allows a feeling of being bird-like when winding down steep hills on a bicycle as the sounds of the wind going through the feathers made it just as exciting as when I would place a baseball card near the bike tire to get that 'vroom! sound.' The whistling of fast air feels like a bird is riding beside you.
Vultures and Electric lines.
                  On the 8th* I went out with a pocket full of half-dead spare batteries, two travel bars, a broken off Cow-Coffee Mug handle in my pocket and sneakers that would eventually collect tar. This time from the railroad ties as days earlier melting roads were the source of stick-soles.
(I wrote this poem relating to road tar:
Roadways are meant to melt and crumble.
It is their natural process.
Each time we fix and repair a road
we are going against their desires.
Roads want to crumble,
it is their true yearning.
If it wasn't, then explain why they smear
and get all over my sneaker bottom.
If a road would speak,
it would say 'let me crumble in peace.'
and stop driving on me that shit hurts.
)
It seems malevolent that we create roads, which are meant to be driven upon, while roads themselves  claim that it is painful to them.

             I was to collect images of the cow coffee mug with several different backdrops and collect footage to edit to some of the soon to be Grammy Award-winning songs I had finished. To save images and footage for a time  when I have a less archaic machine to edit on (posting blogs is nightmarish; I must be a self-sadist or just highly reclusive and apt to tell stories now. Or maybe proving to create and fulfill as much as I can before I expire even if the pain of shoddy equipment causes nerve tensions that may lead to aneurism.)

The world is a backdrop for a broken cow coffee handle.
                 So I walked past the evil twin dogs who always seem to want to bite my soul from my being.. Barking back at them seldom helps  their keeping quiet but keeping quiet seldom helps them keep their quiet, either. Meowing profusely only encourages their hateful barks but entertains me nonetheless.

                It was soon that a swoop of Vultures would land on the deck of an electric obelisk. They did much more than serve as the backdrop of a broken cow coffee handle; They posed and danced in the skies and stayed a lengthy duration  to my presence much like Signi. If it were the howling the nights before seeing the Coyote, then the feathered feeling of the aires may have encouraged the birds to not merely scatter in the sight of a biped in sneakers (to distrust me as being some sort of threat.)





 14th*

It was all going amazingly until I stepped on that thorn.
Then it felt as if I had stepped on a thorn, Which I had!
I plucked it out.
"This is why you don't go barefoot..
why you don't ride bike barefoot,
while you don't jump from shaletop to shaletop barefoot!"
the academy for sneakers and shoes would have boasted and offered me a bandage.

                 The phrase "You're going to be just fine" has been trademarked, actually. I know this because there is a bandage container in the bathroom and I always eye it while I am peeing.. to the point where I had to move the package because I became upset how I would always read it every time I went in there. I would keep thinking about how it is so strange that certain phrases or emotions, maybe all in due time, would become accustomed and related to a company or brand slogan. "Ow, fuck.. I'm okay, I don't need a bandaid" however, would never become a phrase because it offers no commitment to a product or item.


                I like being outside, where salamanders walk towards me when I am playing music.
You look out of the corner of your eye and there is this small thing coming towards you.
Reduce yourself 1/800ths and it would be a terrifying dinosaur and each step would be a shaking stomp of terror but from my size and perspective the salamander's steps were very cute and adoring.
After turning the thought 'salamander salamander salamander' in my mind for weeks prior it was a nice occasion for such a creature to greet me in real presence, manifest from wishful thinking.
I had kept looking under stones near the moss and hoping to find some every now and then. One of the most humorous  and nerve-testing ways to come across something is to stop looking. Or stop 'wanting,' perhaps. And so behold was the fiery creature coming toward me after I forgot all about searching.
I remember once my friend was being sexually hit on by a preying mantis in a tennis ball court but that is another instance for another time. Though he was wearing a green and white striped polo which I think may have had something to do with it.

I picked up the mander and placed it into the soil where a feline would not later harass it.

                but it wasn't until later that the thorn decided to attack.
I'm sure if a snail grew human legs and nice full thick set of red lips and spoke from them "man you people all seem weird to me" then that would really throw people off.

                 Pistachios were saved for another time and I started to pedal my bike. Pedal pedal pedal and sweat collected yet the skies were forgiving to all the time cramped up around places where payment buttons opted for conversation transfers and it was nice to get out of a citizen-mindset.
"But how will you live without money?"
"Burn it!"
"But how will you survive without gps?"
"Kill me!"

                Away from digital fuzz the crickets swept in tune and humans around were possibly real.. not just electronic murals of 'click here for eight offers.'   Millions of men were harassing an effigy of a female somewhere but not here.. not now. I'll throw a stick with a celebrity cut out pasted on it.. throw it far one way, far, and allow the poor woman to escape while the others chase the stick. Run, run,lady, get away while you can.. and then I continue to ride off into the sunset with a social retardation that makes a rabid squirrel look like a possible contender for Mr. Universal Proper.

             "Write me bite me fight me, but don't write me long." was texted in an alien language then I took the phone and tossed it into the lakeside. It skipped like a stone then I apologized to the fish or crabs who may have to see such a device. Maybe it will infiltrate them, too.. God I hope not.

                Like some blur in a busy world, weaving in and out between a niche the beautiful air was breathed in fully up the stream side where clothes were shed and Geese covered their babies eyes for they had been taught what proper and improper were.
Somewhere there was a beach party with pasta being cooked on an open flame and it might have been the very first time that ever happened... but there was no proof of such an event because it was all so good that everybody ate it all up. Weird to think that photos weren't taken and posted on anybody's wall but none were because the pasta was so good.
              I sat and ate my Cliff bar in the sand while that scenario never even crossed my mind at the time.
I was glad that it didn't, because I would have grown  a deprivation for a much tastier appetite.
I pedaled and pedaled more and more then I stepped on a thorn. I plucked it out.

15th*



                 It was not a dismal experience but a great adventure having found the quicksand. I'm unaware of anybody having the intention to find quicksand but I am sure there are those out there seeking to hide some thing or some body for a very long time that appreciate it. All off the rest of us, it seems, know that quick sand much like the Fiery Mander above, finds us and not us it.


                    Further down there was Misterio Slithers, The water gliding shore sailor. It was past the pollywogs that Slithers emerged on through the stream. I listened closely to any advice.
Sssttttt stttttttttttttt sstttttttttttttttsttttttttttttt
"Yeah, that's what you always say' I thought at first, but then I had begun to listen more closely.
Stttttt if youstttttt chsstttttttttttttttt shlssssttttttttttts sssssssssssssttttllyyyyy
"no no, I haven't tuned in yet.. wait, I can almost hear...."
If we had any respect for the children we would take them out of the schools immediately.
That made a bit of sense to me at first but the longer I talked to Slithers the more obvious it became that Slithers was referring to schools of fish. Therefore, the snake meant he wanted to take young minnows out of the larger groups and down the innard tubes of the Slithers meal expressway.

All of this finally leads to a cast of words starring in:
Quick-Lined Musketeers
(Scrutiny Laments)

This building collection of Scrutiny Laments was a proposed giration for a book that was promptly to-be printed on papernapkins with moldy cheese as the front and back cover. This book was never printed.
However, in the book you will notice the table of contents is missing not only all legs but it completely removed from the book altogether.

The fish were getting dangerous. The schools were getting smaller and many were becoming hookers.

Cider seas the fish are getting drunk! Rotting cheese the mice are walking zags!

Oceans,too, like brisk dry heat, saw porpoises hording Zigs.

Now the docks shook, the shores wiggled, The buoys sunk.

Seagulls bottled in containers wanted out. This was not an unfair request.

Cinder seize on fiery shores: Let all birds not have to tip-toe on scorchy grounds.

"wanna have a good time?" a baby trout quips through bubbles making crayfish blush.

Freckles flew out the water and into the skies, striking bottles with seagulls inside.

Now some fish were naked: Their dots coming off and rising to the occasion, out of the fluids into the skies!

Before bottles hit the ground the fish freckles popped the Seagulls free.

Whisker fish and rainbow scales saw hemlock tortoises dressed in snake skin.

"wanna have a good time?" some fish were really starting to lose it, as liquids merged with their airs.

The bellybutton at the bottom of the waters uncorked it's cork and waters swirveled in.

The equivalent to canned-heat, dry-air, nubby ladders...

Dont Count The Miles

Continuing on from pt 1, "43 Miles"

A photography series from ~05/2011.

A good opener for the second half of the series.
I thought I saw a cat but it was only a fur
I thought I heard a rumble, it was just a purr
'Swore there was a tower but it was only a brick
Paul wanted polio but he only got sick.


Amidst these photographs I took will be random fragments of thought. Some will have to do with the actual photographs while others will just be amusing crap that will possibly temporarily entertain only myself, which is the beauty and problem with 'blogging' in that you can publicize words that relate nothing whatsoever to the common or infrequent reader. That's been the way I have always felt about newspapers or Sears circulars, or those little self-reminders and I.O.Us that are written on crinkly $1 and $5 dollar bills.

Hey Outside
Soaking sopped wet, this photo was taken as I felt as close as I could to a wet alley cat or gold fish in cotton attire. Still, a moment of enjoyment was to be had yet watching people run full pace beneath the safety of an umbrella from the doors of the book store to their cars 15 ft away made me feel like the biggest joke or the freest from weathered reaction.

A dialogue:
"You know what you need to do Joey?"
"No, What do I need to do?"
"You ought to make sure to never allow anybody to tell you what you need to do or how to do things."
"Well I guess I'm fucked now no matter what choice I make."

Like A Vulture

Like A Vulture
Like A Vulture
 These vultures live in the cave of a gorge hidden beyond streams past trails that part from the railroad tracks of Recluse Valley. Every morning through afternoon they swoop in unison to find their own treats to devour. I had traffic blasting towards me on a highway bridge-side as taking these photographs with angry commuters barely striking me in preparing a meal for the vultures. 
I recorded footage of them as well. Their dinner schedule is  nearly always on queue and they never have to leave too far from their gorge home to get fed. Now I ask, who has it better, the vultures or wolves?


Be Late For Everything
Growing Your Bangs Out


You know those commercials where products talk, where products have personalities and characteristic traits? Do you know those? You shouldn't, none of us should, but you probably do. In the sane world, in the sane world, we have products that encompass traits of human behavior. And scientists who want to free the world of dependency and scarcity tactics are called mad.God help us if talking brooms are of the sane rational (or characterized pieces of dirt being picked up by a broom, or a bottle of window cleaner for that manner.) What breed of hysteria is this? Part of me just knows deep down it's a long branch of some absurdest movement, and what a prank it is. We call it the free world. It arrests those who go crazy from expressing their discontent with living amongst the mad. When I say 'we' not only am I not speaking French but I also mean 'We' and in 'They' and any other raving fevered broad generalization. When the vacuum bag starts having full on conversations with you I think it's safe to say you've been company-bitten.

40th Wonder Of The World

Tripping Down The Stares
When you are the only human out roaming about, everything else can feel so much more alive. You can actually stop and think about what happened in the places you stand at and experience without being pushed or pressured to move along the path to 'get where you are going.' It's a beautiful feeling. Owls feel it. I'm not sure if chimney sweepers do or not. Probably not.

5 AM
The day sky starts to slip out of the covers, The sun gets out of bed from the moon but there is no coffee, so it goes out to the store. It's been all day. he gets back to his wife.. by that time it isn't light out any more. (Don't try to think that one out, I haven't.)
Restrictive Conversation
Using intimate objects and their placement to pursue the viewer into an imaginative interpretation. Much like talking vacuum cleaner bags.

 A poem:
The darlin' who gleefully pees in the breeze
need not care about phrases like 'it's the bees knees'
but instead smokes to where a small walk ignites a weeze
Then attempts to use a wine glass to bottle the seas.

An argument ensues over all the false and trues
Walking naked to check the mail regarded as truly rude
But clothes hide nudity and sway fashion through urge to screw
So fornication is divided to love, creation and getting used.

A bird on the shoulder is brave if the shoulder owner likes chicken
The bird sings "Bob" in the mornings as the fog thickens
A small child is brave if given a piggy back ride by a cannibal
but eating your toe-headed young is an act that is truly stricken

There's a bathtub in the boat in an ocean with giant soap fish..(To be continued..)

"The Day Something Happened"

On a serious note was something written written rather jokingly.


But on a much more serious note, albeit almost forgotten, Here is the long non-awaited video for "Cat Opera"
