The New Decade Jam - starting Jan 2010

Post by **jimboloco** » January 22nd, 2010, 4:47 pm

i read it all that way
backwards
from th leap of faith unto the unknown decade
the marvelous teens.
pre-twenties if ya don't mind
like only 100 years ago was a gilded age
of wealthy vagabonds floating about
and now we earthbound types circumnavigate
and remember perambulations

is there ever any hope for character development
of the planet?
no real decisions to make save knowing we are better than this
and learning how to get by on a breath
of air

freezing white caps
and melted mud

looking backwards
from 1910
the dawn of new age
progress peace and prosperity
twentieth century foxes

Here in the Republic of Desire it is
The season of changes
hot today
chili tamales

doin' gigs
jammin' words
@ the bars
in a not so little
magic town
beneath the catoctin's
purple mountain's majesty
cafe 611 tonite www.plaeground.com
jammin' into the teen's
like a dream
no scheme
'cept to be "live wired"

Live wired
schemers and dreamers
sunshine and shadow
the world is in a jam
the word keeps on jammin

"Jam's about my pride and truth I cannot hide
To keep you satisfied.
True love that now exist is the love I can't resist,
So jam by my side. " By Bob Marley

Let's keep on word jammin'
Word jammin'
Let my words say it to you...
Word jammin'
Word jammin'
Say it when we need to get through...

i remember it
like yesterday
Action Poetry was hammer down in the show off lane
Poets were driving V-8 Macks with Georgia overdrives
It was 1999 and I was happy to have found a niche on the super highway

A place I could get high with a little help
"from a small circle of friends" Phil Ochs

The action GO's on
hammer hammer

Yes, dems were de days...let's jam like it 1999,
We be feelin fine, download dat dime,
Start de upward climb--
Yes, its de days of yesteryear when
De dime would still get you a gumball...
Sometime even a couple of mints...
So let's pretend that the trade towers
Are still standin in our minds eye...
Maybe in some fifth dimension they are...
While poets drive de souped cams...

"From where I sit"
the universe is just fine"

I am going to get a poetic license
practice what I preach
extend my reach
eat a lot of peaches
limp when I can't fly
I'll get by
"like a pear onion on a banana split"

no live wire
just a well tried way
comin up empty
no gigs just digs
an books
tai chi
wii yoga
an prayers before dawn
gettin down deep
slow rising kundalini
opens up the brain
deeper

Post by **stilltrucking** » January 24th, 2010, 6:23 pm

no nothing but a small circle of friends

deep in time & getting deeper
into the geology of my brain
the archeology of my soul
with the help of a small circle of friends

music blends
with friends
grab a shaker
some bells
bang a drum
play...play...play...
jam the new decade

Post by **stilltrucking** » January 24th, 2010, 10:21 pm

I can't wack
but I still ah do
beat a drum of a different marcher

This is the only game in town for me.
so I don't complain about my chances
cause time and chance comes to everyone

no music here
tune deaf and tone deaf
just a word kook
