Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

Christ in Blue
Mary in a Jam

Machines of loving frace
Deus ex machina

Pet socks
and lamb chops

Rolling rocks
after all these years
no moss

sorry Joel I get nostalgic
I want to reach up and touch
the hem of her robes

"let it be

I have read that Jesus had a sense of humor
I hope so

some days that is all I got going

Jesus knitting lots of babies
lots of babies
I hope they all don't starve.

"I don't deserve any credit for turning the other cheek as my tongue is always in it."
— Flannery O'Connor

looking for gracie
lookin' for the mary of merries
lookin' for juliette binoche
i was looking for isabella rossellini
but she slipped away

asylum seeker
looking for
shelter from the storm

been writing on text edit
got this robot russian girl
reading the stuff
the voice of text edit
i call her anastasia
it's a blast getting her timing right
and when i put her with the
raga machines i fall in lust
all the love that's in ya
just ain't there since
carole jean moved on
now this russian android girl
comes along
i think i'm in heaven

was i ever dare
was i way past the comprehend?
turning upside down
everything

by the grace of dare
dere I am
for now in jam

was I ever square
because i feared to dare
oh yeah you betcha

not like square like good
like level on the level
or like
the Square DEAL tRUCKING COMPAny

Square like I was out of touch
always a stranger to my self
going through the motions
like the mechanic in Zen and the art of motorcycle maint.

so I keep on jamming
sticking to it

cause it is the only game in town for me

jammers we be
perpetually
before the 24 hour jam
before action & ~GO!
even back when i was
flashin' lights @ the navaho trucks
now it's just a staple of life
like meat and taters
like marine band harps
like a jean luc godard movie
jam on me ST!!!!!!!!

got to
jam on u

lost in the music
left bank jazz society 1963
bubble boy snapped out of a trance

God's toast,
jam on most--

enjoyed by the rabble,
West Bank hijab society
rebel boys and girls and patient counterparts

poets are not me
even so
when I am jam
I feel lucky
The luckiest man in the world
Lou gehrig hits another home run

Jam is lucky for me

Yet today, I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth. ....

iron man lou
jam on ST!!!!!!!!!!!

Left Bank Jazz Society Baltimore maryland
so dere I was
after crazy mike died
and I couldn't cry
sitting listening
rapt in music
and all of a sudden
everyone starting shouting
clapping
whistling
and I woke with a start
and wondered what had just happened
I felt like a character in a Charles Adams cartoon

Luck be a lady
she she know me but I am
thinking about jack kerouac's parachute
"one fast move or I'm gone"



again

left bank
dangerous liasons
they hissed her @
the opera
was it because of the
boiled bunny
i kinda dig the lady
she is what i find irresistable
at this point in the drama

walked down patrick street
2nd time today
from dark to light
hot
record setting
hot
jam sizzlin'
