Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

gonna jam some more rain
started raining night before last
all day yesterday
all night last night -

river way up again
trying to deal -

down in louisiana
folks are drowning
the water just too much

ol' Ryokan lived
halfway up a mountain
didn't have to worry 'bout no flood
but i bet he worried
'bout landslides

the warming temps
wreak havoc 'round the globe
rain keeps coming, winds
blow longer and harder, drought
is interminable and deadly
too much water here, not
enough there, the balance
has shifted to imbalance, the
skies are blacker, houses rise
off their foundations, drift away
in the air, in the water. homes
are no longer a refuge, they are
like a fairy tale, made of sticks,
made of straw, and the big bad wolf
has come for his dinner, pork belly
with some humans on the side

Keep losing the handle

Really a bitch

Wah....wah.....wah
Trump times
Hillary choices
Bernie dreams
I dunno
But should care
Although I'm just
Hoping to make another
4 years on this here ball
Big blue ball
Soup and shrimp scampi
For brunch
Fuck politics
Fuck sorry choices
Time to eat

politics is television
television aims for spectacle
the spectacle is elections
elections are there to placate the masses
the masses are being said in churches
churches have turned their back on the poor
the poor keeps getting poorer
the poorer are headed into oblivion
oblivion is politics

kids down in church
being taught what's coming
my boon companion is stuck
with the Q & the Z
with the board full & the
letter bank empty
- no happy for her in scrabble land

& i just got checkmated
by a machine

at least the rain falling
outside is supposed to be -
it's early spring
doing just what it oughta

good day to go to the dentist
the drizzle suits my enthusiasm
but Hey !...gotta a new toothbrush
and a small tube of Crest
with super-mega,colossal whitener in it
and the hygienist is gentle and skilled
and easy on the eyes, like a super model
in a white lab coat, and there is no
extra charge for that, she comes
with the price of cleaning, and she's friendly
and has a beautiful smile
and nice teeth

Crack me up!

daybreak reveals
thick fog
thick fog everywhere
up & down the river
i can see about
100 feet in any direction
i guess that's enough

new window guy salesman
told me his boys would install
the units in 3 to 6 weeks tops
today is 8 weeks later, but
they claim they are coming today
if I hadn't gotten sick and anemic
I was planning to scrape and paint the old ones
but my prognosis didn't look great
for climbing thirty foot ladders, so......
now I'm feeling much better but have
this contract with these "liars" or
perhaps I should just say they are overly
optimistic, but something inside
keeps smelling some bullshit, pretty sure
it never happens in 3 weeks, but they
throw that out to hook ya, the 6 weeks
doesn't sound too awful so now they reel you in
but the real estimate as they know very well
is eight to twelve weeks, but no one would
sign up for that because they need the work
done right away...they get that down payment
and they own you....better be a stellar job
'cause they have to pass the buzz-"saw" inspection

land of wolves & thieves for sure
but that's unfair - to the wolves at least
sunshine today all over the place
landlord has me on call
to cut wood -
- don't mind
the work is simple
and simple is good for the soul
kandinsky was on to something
treating paintings like musical compositions
idea transformed as play
hell yeah, Mongolia

Kandinsky spot on
Mongolia the bomb
Rainin here now
Cold, snow manana
Wore out from week
Too hard to find my
Password here
Black Keys playing on
sounds here at jojo's
People loud
Can't they hear each other?
Hell they're in each other's faces
Must be the alcohol
Foods here

the chatter blends together
like a garbled demagogy
the game of risk has no ending
in sight, like hungry monopolies
like the clues from the professor
rainy days are meant for games
and music and food, and coffee
went to the Bernie rally in B'Mo
lots of interesting folks gave up
their easy Saturday in a dry room
for the showers and pre-snow slush
on the way, but some folks are still
playin' them board games and their
hungry for news from the front,
sorry ladies and gents, there is no
free lunch, and no free T-shirts

At Nola
W/a wire driver

Ugh
Miss the reparte
Need to come see u saw
Dinner
Good Friday manana
Weekend off
Weather is stupendous
What me worry!

good friday it is
every friday good to me
no work, no pain

right on the mark, mark
need to find the time time
is difficult to harness, harness
the hours and you will be famous, famous
for unlocking the doors, the doors
are lighting my fire, my fire
burns like supernovas, supernovas
explode the imagination. the imagination
is what keeps us trucking, trucking
like a doo dah man, man
oh man !
