Poems

Everybody's learning how to wash their hands now,
C'mon baby do the Covid Motion
It's about as easy as a certain dance now
C'mon baby, do the Covid Motion
My little baby sister can do it with ease
It's easier than learning your A B C's
So c'mon,  c'mon, do the Covid Motion with me

(chorus)

You scrub your finger tips, c'mon baby
Now front, now back
Well now I think you got the knack...whoa whoa

Remember when you do it, leave some space now
C'mon baby do the Covid Motion
And you must make certain you don't touch your face now
C'mon baby do the Covid Motion
Wash for twenty seconds babe, that's all you'll need
Some soap, and water and I know you'll succeed
So come on, come on, do the Covid Motion with me


(Interlude)

Yeah yeah yeah, do the Covid Motion
C'mon baby do the Covid Motion
When you wash your hands, it's the Covid Motion
Standing still and dancing like the locomotion
It's the way to do it, just listen to me
Do the Covid Motion now 1-2-3
So c'mon , c'mon and do the Covid Motion with me

chorus

C'mon baby do the Covid Motion
C'mon baby do the Covid Motion
C'mon baby do the Covid Motion
C'mon baby do the Locomotion

Motion Motion my devotion
on a lyre and on a quotient
you weave most lovely mind-contortions
yet grasp such fair mathematic notions

Motion Motion my devotion
on the R or in the ocean
you ricochet, stumble, and plie
an animal of the Poles, i did daresay

Motion Motion my devotion
in all the bustle and commotion
there were delays, I had lots of Time(s)
but lost track of them all when you waltzed into mine

Motion Motion my devotion
your can- or cannot-touch-your-toes
sha'nt stop your *****, hips, and toes
in Motion Motion,

strike a pose

On Moving
unnamed Apr 2012
The world proves itself to me by its motion.
I know the world because it moves and is moved.
I know hidden parts of the world by the shadows of motion these parts make.
I speak with my world in the language of movement.
I know things the world cannot tell me by learning the rules it uses to tell me what it does.
I know the weightless motion of veils.
I know the movement of what I cannot see move by learning how motion must act.
I know how motion must act, can know what moves even when I don't see it,
all by knowing how the world could not otherwise work.  

Life is life because it moves.
Life that does not move becomes death.
Death is life without motion.
Death is an invention.
Death is just another name for a life that cannot move ever again.

The motion of my mother proves to me the motion that came before my first movement;
my first motion when
my left hand's newborn fingers moved from the cradle of
my left hand's newborn palm to squeeze
my mother's elegant, shaking ring finger and felt
my father's elegant, shaking ring finger;
felt my parents' wedding vows,
their promise to each other;
felt my parents' wedding vows,
their promise to me;
felt them hold me between their chests,
them,
their motion within me;
me, my infant body learning its life because they first moved;
my small, soft limbs reaching out slowly,
soft limbs moving soft in the soft, moving world
uncurling new in every new direction.

Everything I learn by motion must come,
finally,
to move within, and move,
me.

Cursed, blessed,
I am my only source of reason.
I am my only source of insanity.

I am, to me, my greatest safety.
My greatest danger.

I am the only thing I have to know how love feels.
To know how loving feels.

I am the only thing I have to know
the beauty of this motion,
the world.  

I destroy myself, I destroy the only thing I have to know motion.
I destroy myself, I destroy the movement of the world.
I destroy the world's movement, I invent its death.

I destroy myself, I destroy the world with me.

Destroy myself, destroy my mother with me.
Destroy her elegant, shaking ring finger.

Destroy myself, destroy my father with me.
Destroy his elegant, shaking ring finger.

Destroy my parents with me.  
Destroy their promise,
their promise,
promise,
never,
to stop moving.
