Dark train approaching
from a long night on the rails
The Shadow's choo-choo

Ignorance is the gateway that will lead us to stupidity.

The twitter bird is blue
How I feel without you

If at first you do not succeed then self destruct.

I cut a hole in my heart
So I'll bleed every day
Can't hold that much heartache
Got to let it run away

Sometimes I thank my bleeding hole
That it is there today
If I had saved all that pain
I'd be eleven feet tall

I'm still a teen
I cry and scream
I'm seventeen
at fifty-three

The anger pains
they still remain
rain fills my brain
hurts like a train

I jump the tracks
It breaks my back
to still be here
in hackensack

Can someone say
it goes away
or that it stays
forever, eh?

My mind it seems
has cheated me
makes me believe
I'm seventeen

So where is she
the one I knew
the one I thought
would be so true

I'm seveteen
I cry and scream
I'm still a teen
at fifty-three

Yes, it sure does look that way
When it takes 35 years
to capture 50 criminals
in a land
that claims to be FREE

FREE?
Free of what?
Not criminals

There are 50 crime
families on Garibaldi
Avenue in Lodi, New Jersey alone

Please officer

Oh, that's right

One of those crime families
is not like the other
One of those crime families
Rules the cops
and pretends to rule
everyone else

With bullying
And tormenting
And torturing
And acts in violation
of the Geneva Convention

Oh, but we are not at war with crime

Hey it's a free country
You want to practice crime

People have a right to be
Criminal

It's a free country

Okay

But, why can't it be
A crime family free
Country

Is ******, arson, strong arm assaults, blackmail, grand theft, etc... so glamorous
that a (free?) country
needs them

or even needs to
glorify them in
Movies and Television

Do we need
criminally run Hospitals
criminally controlled courthouses
criminally managed police departments?

I've spoken with
several government
Leaders on this matter
and they all agree
that they will promise
to look into this
as soon as they
can figure out
the economy

I walked down Garibaldi
Ave in Lodi the other
day
The crime families there
are doing quite well

But

They ain't talkin'

May the hurt you knew
Be washed away for always
In this year of new

On this day
the twin teen
from the golden age

flies away

The Colorado ****** Retired.

Oilmen are fracking farcical!

Underdog was a pill popper.

Remember when we were gasses
floating in our space?

Till we mixed together
creating the human race.

There were sixty-five
valentines for you
I colored the one from me
your favorite blue
I didn't know
the whole world loves you too
with sixty-four adversaries
I guess we could be through

So did they all say
"I Love You"
or "be mine today
& every day
I want to be your valentine
Be Mine"

or did they say that "I
only want to love you"
and after twenty solid years
could it really be we're through

There were sixty-five
valentines for you
I colored the one from me
your favorite blue

Don't steal, the government hates competition.

Is Gigi Hadid a gee, hottie?

A is the best letter in the alpabet
way ahead of the rest

A lone
in first place

A is

The Pope Has Landed

Upon the blaze that lights desire,
for lovers here, a worthwhile fire.

That winning girl she had it all
I never took a dime from her
I knocked her up, a gamble tall
I never asked a thing from her

She exercises god-born rights
and really loves an evening fight
So special yet, so very nice
A lesser girl would not be right

Her girlfriend lives upon the road
The one named for the river flow
And loves her brother, he's a toad
And now the whole world really knows

But, winning girl with heart of gold
With better wheels she rolls the rolls
Down private roads, the ones she knows
Her status now of that so bold

And here I am, the bad beat man
I thought I had a winning hand
Surprise Surprise got fooled again
Bet it all on Uncle Sam

That ***** gangster shot me dead
Filled me up with all his lead
No fighting now, I'm in the ground
A better world I could have found

A bird at port authority
has no wings
he just sits there
whimpering
because he has no wings

He can not fly
so he hops
for his food
and he dances a soft shoe
for his tips

A disabled american
picks him up
I will be your wings
says the vet
but, we can not fly

He hides the bird
in his coat
as he pays the fare
to go through the tunnel
into jersey

In ridgewood, rutherford,
passaic, and paterson
and other train/bus stations
the bird dances for vets of one nation
but, only one vet gets drunk on that

I woke up this morning
Arose from my bed
My head was in pain
And there was hurt in my leg
  
Washed up and ate
and packed my brief
The works overload
caused little of sleep
  
Thought of times used
on the early ride-in
Fear subsides to agony
Then, stress subdues to sin
  
The mind does not drift
During works busy trends
And when the day's over
My mind, it just bends
  
So I go to the market
To pick up a something
Who's that?  Whap! Bam! Boom!
What's wrong?  Absolutely nothing!

Theresa Duncan and Jeremy Blake
Filmmaker and artist
Mysterious fate

Harassed by the government
They so did believe
And those that follow
Scientology

Tylenol and Bourbon
Caused Theresa's o.d.
Then Jeremy walked
into the ocean or sea
  
Did they walk out
of a Hollywood contract
It's happened before
We know this as fact

The tragic dimensions
Of love and of loss
Was ever considered
The terrible cost

Beware the baker
for his battery is a
sweet death to follow

Living in a car
in New York City

I hide underneath a tablecloth
which substitutes for a blanket

It is quite uncomfortable in the backseat
with that bump in the middle
pushing my lower ribs into my gut
as I lie on one side, and hide

Though so much better then the
cardboard box with news-papered roof
I once pretended, could protect me from
the rain

If only I could figure out the
alternate side of the street on
which to park

My mother didn't have a television
nobody did
because their weren't any
until someone had a vision

to bring radio to life

radio singers and soap opera players
circus acts
and vaudeville comedians

all came together in one box

After that there was only one
thing left to do
and that was

go to the moon

We used to sing a kind song
The melody rang true
Not like what you hear today
So many fell like you
  
This used to be a kind town
Where people shake your hand
You didn't have to worry
Of fire from a can
  
It's kind of like a sad song
Where people die from love
Or you can take a bite of this
Oh! No, you can't
Oh! No, you can't
  
We're trapped like rats in cities
Don't go outside to breathe
The politicians make it harder
And we just stand at ease
Or wind up Kennedys
  
We used to sing a kind song
We used to be a kind town
We used to sing a love song
What happens now?

She's way too young
But, I still want her
Never felt a warmer softer soul
I love the way she vampire bites me
Maybe not the dark' eternity though

And Romeo's going to muscle her away from me
I'd like to see him try
I'd send him to the moon; he'd fly
I guaranty a fight

I never loved one more, ayem
so that's the irony
The one I love more than any other
Could be the true-heart..death of me

And Romeo want's to dance with her
Well, my feet are tired
So it's better her than me
Maybe keep the peace

... or give it a fight

for life

She looked at me and told me
she said "Your eyes are blue"
but, she really didn't have to tell me that

I looked at her and saw her eyes
They were blue and true
I just try to smile and look back

"Does something got your tounge?" she asks
Fat I sat there with panic attack

Think she was waiting for an "I'm Sorry"
But I don't ever want to tell her that

So I say "Hello"

"Hello?"  she comes back with "What
does THAT mean?"  We've already been
introduced to each other"

"I'm not playing these games" said so
demanding  I just love the way her
hair plays when she's dancing

Then she tells me I'm handsome
and all about the love
Plenty of it waiting for me
All I got to do is join up with these thugs
and we'll have all the money
that we need

but all I need is she

Walk down third ave, live and
you'll survive it.  Total insanity
Saw her one time and never could fight it
Especially when she's wearing her paint-on jeans

That's when I need she
That's when I need she

I told her "Your eyes are blue"
She said "You're just stupid"
I bet that dress is happy, how it hugs her
I wish hard that I could

She says "Davey get a clue
You know you're not getting younger
If there's something you can do
Do it now or I'll go wander

I told her all I need is she
All I need is she
And she is all I need

Lucky numbers, there are many floating in my head
I'm so lucky I am finally sharing all my bed
with the best friend I ever had

All I need is she
All I need is she
And she is all I need

Mary had a little lamb.
"So What!" she snootedly stated to the vegan.

Sometimes I act like 2 years old all over again
I sit in sh*t and whine all day
Nothing much constructive to say
The devil's advocate they say I A
I don't know what would you say
Just to make my statement stay
And then to have it all retold all over again
  
Sometimes I feel like 4 years old all over again
There are things I still want to explore
But not like when I'm 3 years old
When I fit the bobby pin in the electric floor
Everything went black and white
It put me in a dimension that was spooky
And met my idol/maker all over again
  
Sometimes I think I'm 15 years all over again
And pack my comb
wear my cowboy shirt
pull my jeans way down
over my boots that hurt
And think I've got a life
instead of just existing lies
that she dreams up about me still all over again
  
All over again
I think she'd still love me
All over again
But, next time not so obsessive
All over again
I don't need that much protection
All over again
When I have such supple affection
  
Sometimes I'm 29 years old all over again
And can't get drunk enough
to relieve the pain that's in my head
I'm not suggesting you drink, no jesting
There's better thinks for a man to ingest
fill your mind with know how
Escape the ignorant
that rant and rave and roar at me
All over again
  
Sometimes I'm 36 I wish all over again
With dreams of Jeannie far behind
and Charlies Angels jet lagged high
I'm using words now just to rhyme
The girl that Lucy step-child right
Is in my mind still all the time
I never had the nerve to die
And here I am not 55 and still
Wishing I could live my life all over again

Last night I could not sleep
with visions of the Pin-up
Girl of past

How she laid(y) there
with arms spread
and legs bent

There!
on the dust of cobwebs

"Let me Go" she vociferates
into her soft safe place

But, I dream still
of a night
in your land of plenty

Honey!

It's okay
It's not that bad
The way you're thinking
Baby, are you mad?
  
You've been on slow down
Well, here's the low down
Here's your hug and your kiss
And I'm biting you behind your ear
  
Yeah, there's a lot more rock
Before we lay down and roll
Yeah, you'll never stop this bus
The one that you're calling old
  
You always figured
The way you were living
You wouldn't last long
But, that is all long gone
  
Well, we cut down the coffee
And cut out the drinking
Stomped out our smoking
I guess that we're thinking
  
That, there is a lot more rock
Before we lay down and roll
And if it's gotten hot
Too bad, for yours is so cold
  
Yeah, there's a lot more rock
Before we lay down and roll
Yeah, you'll never stop this bus
The one that you're calling old
  
Oh yeah, there is a lot more rock
Before we lay down and roll
And if it has gotten hot
Too bad, for yours is so cold

Al Gore wants you
to believe that
Your vote counts

some people are soooo forgetful

Always
                                        One little word
                                 For two people in love
                                               Always

friend
I dreamed of you
  
that you came to see me
and for an hour or two
  
my fantasies played true
as we tossed and turned
  
we made one from two
and now I am lost

1.   Crack, Snapple, and Pop went to shop for designer clothing at the mall.
2.   The mall was closed so Snapple and Crack hopped on Pop and shopped at Macy's.
3.   According to his doctor, King Kong had a fear of paper airplanes.
4.   Santa Monica fell into the ocean because Santa weighed too much.
5.   Crackle entered rehab, they finally got him the help he needed.
6.   As darkness fell over eastern Europe the planes were all grounded.
7.   It makes you think that the president of Poland had ties to the pope.
8.   Or maybe think that the president of Poland and the pope were close.
9.   Because God is making it difficult for anyone to fly there.
10.  You just have to wonder sometimes about the timing of everything.

american pride
that natural high
the birds in the sky
they soar when they fly

the flag it will wave
on t-shirts and bedspreads
coffee mugs and windows
and even on graves

so sad it's sold like that
like a trollop
for a dime or a dollar
so sad it's sold like that

american pride
that natural high
the birds in the sky
they soar when they fly

Are you the right key to the hole in the stitch of my sock monkey heart?

Some of the things that we do to survive will absolutely **** us.

I'd rather be your fantasy because it's so much better than me.

The people know from one little teardrop can a mighty river flow.

Josh Samman
Dead at 28

Ya just gotta love it!

You set
Your face flush
Against a prop
  
With that slight
Smirky smile of yours
And I question
  
Does beauty fade
Then your eyes brighten
And time stands still

mama lay me down this christmas
my daddy died this morning ninety-three
i taped my bed in plastic wrap this morning
to protect it from the lice that's eating me

i don't know why i like to keep on living
life's been hell on this eulogy
the rust from the nail that they nailed in my head
is hurting me again
another one of life's little miserys

maybe i'll get the nail out
maybe i won't
maybe i will
mabe i'll get the nail out
before it eats the rest of me
this isn't just a fantasy...

another wave falls towards the ocean
the ocean ***** are eating me again
she's somewhere here on the shores with the sunlight in her hair
pretending that she's meeting her old man

i fell in the love with the queen of the oceans
and i'll never say her name
for no man should have to go through that much rain again
on this the planet earth ever again

Crazy train running number 188
Imitating NY rail of yesterdate
Casey says "Sailor, you may be late.
But, you're right on time to fulfill your fate."
And the devil then dances with his playmates

If I tore apart
What was art
And made it real
Not to conceal
My thoughts and aspirations
Insinuations
Inoculations
My trials and tribulations
Meaning nothing
No education
No learning experience
Forced into labor
Tormented to dance
One supplication
Give a little back of what you took
I wasn't asking for all
Just a sum
Less than you took from me
And I begged, and I pleaded, and you ignored
  
Well, yesterday you had your chance
You could have been a man
Instead you choose ignorance
*** 'em, *** 'em, *** 'em
*** 'em, *** 'em, *** 'em
Funny language you use
Now I get the name
And why people marry for revenge
  
Well, there's a fat cat at
Ninety fourth and
Sea Pea Double You
And their doorman is my doormat
And he stains
And he stinks of *** fat
And the bloodstains on your door
Will they silence your high *****
As she bleeds in the high roar
Of the flaming fire down below
Across the Styx
  
Given every chance I know
But, the fat cat could not let go
Now his friends they talk real low
'bout the crazy guy named joe
How he sits with his cold toes
In a lonely old jail cell
And the fat cat and his kitty
Had a chance, now it's o'er
And the worms feast as they bore
In to fat cat and his kitty
  
Don't you look at me as bad
For I know what you did was sad
And If I give your girl a name
I owe her that and much more pain
Roll over now or
Turn around
You haven't ears to
Hear this
Sound

Can't save a cowboy
    When he's made of solid sin
Can't save the planet
     Even faster now we spin
Can't save the homeless
     They keep shittin' with their grins
Can't be afraid of it
     A cowboy just takes aim at it

So I'll smile an easy smile
Smile, smile, smile
an easy smile

Temperature yesterday, chili after ten
There is way too much blue rain falling in the ocean
Too much elbow rubbing, bedbugs and disease
I want to clear my mind, I put it at ease

And I'll smile an easy smile
Smile, smile, smile
an easy smile

I loved it all so glad you came to visit
Just wish the springs will work if you can come in
It's anything to please you, won't you please now bring your own stool
If you want to come in to sit


  
And split an easy smile
Smile, smile, smile
an easy smile

I had a conversation with my
fence the other day.
And hear now what it said
Never worry about the things that went
wrong yesterday.  There is no way to make
up for it.  But, always learn from it.  That
is what mistakes are for.  Mistakes are
part of the learning process.  That is
why we make mistakes.  So that we can
learn.  Learning by error.  That is what
humans do.  They/we err.  We/us make
mistakes so that we can learn.  Learning
is good.  Ergo erring is good.  If we don't  
err we won't learn.  Technicians err.
Scientists err.  Doctors err.  Leaders err.
Teachers err.  Editors find typo errors.  If we
never learn, life would be bliss.  For
ignorance is a happy place or so they say.
Whoever They are have never learned, or
they wouldn't be so **** happy.  I see
them all the time.  Laughing.  Smiling.  Happy.
I've learned so much.  I am a miserable son
of a *****.
