Don’t tire me out with lies
you don’t know whys.
Don’t give me your sand castles
Or bitten apples
Awful strains to find remains
Of something easy to accrue
Put the pot down
Pour out a cup
And listen to once what’s around you.
It floats in transparencies
Outside the pharmacies
Flows without a personal ghost
Up and down if you’ll beam in
The happiness of losing self
And sense.
Don’t get comfy in the fat jacket, Jack
Get down under knees to see
Something a little elementary
What’s going on in the immediate, all around you
Down to your soul-feet sky.
Get in on this flipper dive
The mobius flip, alive, alive!
Get out of the trip, it’s jive
Check out your sister, brother
Fall in with a new crowd, cloud loud
The blades of tenderness, those little savage
Dander-lions in the slipstream of your one and only
Rising ball of earthly fury, Argus-eyed life.
Don’t kid yourself, kid
We never really miss a trick.
This is so musical! Wonderful mastery of sound and rhythm. Yes... live life! now!
