American (1984-present) / / A New Yorker turned West Coaster (of three months) / With music, art and writing...trudging through misinformation, techno-babble and the ever-rising Self Importance to find the Heart. / I am a fan of many types of writing, many forms of expression but more importantly the underlying Humanity. Our Natural Ease and Ability to Relate to One Another. / / I am a Natural Leader, but and even better Student
Try to remember But my feelings can't know for sure Tried to reach out But it's gone Lucky stars in your eyes I am walking the cow I really don't know how I came here I really don't know why I'm staying here Oh oh oh... I am walking the cow Tried to point my finger But the wind was blowing me around In circles Circles Lucky stars in your eyes I am walking the cow I really don't know what I have to hear I really don't know what I have to care Oh oh oh... I am walking the cow

Walking The Cow (by Daniel Johnston)
Rip my head from my shoulders Tare me to pieces and rearrange my caging This is NOT my reality I am something different than you see I will fly when I am finished here Far away from your critique and mis-read None of what you say penetrates My knowledge and heart held above this carcass Scoff, Gasp, assume you are the victor Your Ignorance, your obvious weakness Blinds you to the tinge of Empathy But I will forgive and forget you...

A sweet,sweet boy You are real and full of heart A nice guy You give & give, expecting the same Trudging through You try too hard If you would simply deflate, relax... Take some breath Some insights come easier Every moment Un-needing of category Let your soul sink In a field Watch the tall grass sway Realize your being is on the Exterior Of this body of stress I often stray to protect... from self-depricating, destruction of being You are Brilliant See that in Life you Must adhere a password Your emotions Granting access only those deserving Take less seriously those misusers Laugh Loudly To loosen their shackles Many Vultures will swoop and pick But you are far from spoiled They cannot feed on what they cannot catch Hasten your thoughts and steps But travel with sturdy Grace You Will surpass this You will find Respect But you must prepare your mind and heart For the Races

On the daily Daily I am craving The good stuff To get me through the day Without profession I turn to habit Maybe I should call on a friend My good ole' Pusher(s) Which to call which to call Maybe Johnny Mr. Cash he's always got the stuff A lift from any plateau Maybe something more mellow or calm Someone to cry the Blues too To stroll along with, to Muddy up Those Waters Anything to get me through

Inspiration
When I paint, I let go dropping all expectation without control I use my knowledge I use my soul There is no wrong turn I am sure of every movement playing and loving each color I blend and spray, dab and scratch To reveal all truths My emotions and convictions Scream Out Defying controls and lines I am free I am Free My paints are keys releasing me

When I Paint
The Culture of No culture It's an empty road to walk With lines, and shapes Neatly paved. Oh There are park benches to sit But most are taken by tired travelers Resting or sleeping away the warm hours

The Culture of No Culture
Words bring Structure in an untamed Mind Paint lends Color to a gray-scaled Time Now music, Music we'll save for a Rainy Day Hiding in corners of Sorrow where old Scars Lay I'll use My Words, A sword of Golden mold My paintings To Divulge my Intentions Untold In Music I lead The Greatest of movement with it, Climb on a Mount Singing calm to the Torment Awaken profuse Concordance That we Might break these False Coercions

Prospects of Artfulness
I'd rush to see him, heart thumping in my chest To Be the first to reach that door Alone for seconds before... His face, knowing Carved brows and stature Assuring light, of majesty Out of breath even with at full rest A rosed complexion I could not Vex How would I ever express An adoration so esteemed Of purest Nature and deepest dream

Move Along my deer You're Not to stay I'm wading through Another Day Move Along my deer You're not My type I'm searching for A fruit more Ripe Watch me leave my Pet I've stayed too long I'll flee your side Before the Dawn Watch me leave my Pet You'd never Do A dance Which I would hold you to
