A cane guides my careful walk through the middle way......memories of an injured life...broken spine and spirit......

Tie it all together; they say String Theory does that.
"All human beings are also dream beings. Dreaming ties all mankind
together." Jack Kerouac
Paul Craft one them Nashville Cats
I was down and out in Nashville around 1974
Trying to hide from the consequences of spider-love
Back when I was looking for that big ice cream cone in the sky
Called the ultimate orgasm.
lecher
noun
An immoral or licentious man: roué, satyr. Informal dirty old man. Slang lech.
So there I was living in the Gospel Union Mission on lower Broadway-
When I heard that Paul Craft song,
I have never been able to find the lyrics again.
5. Paul Craft, "Lean On Jesus (Before He Leans On You)," 45 RPM single on RCA.
I heard this on a Chattanooga station late one night in 1977. The station faded out before I heard the artist's name or the title. I thought it might be Lester Flatt. A bunch of winos lie around on the sidewalk outside the mission. If they go inside, they'll be fed, but they'll also be preached at. One of them pulls out a bottle and starts singing, "Lean, lean on him. Better lean on him, before he leans on you." In 1999 I found a copy, and you can't have it.

If you are waiting on me you are backing up.
You might as well wait for Godot.
