So many little
Things have
New purpose
New meaning

Nothing's gonna change my world

But I might.

The Universe
Has a funny way
Of bringing things
Together

Two scarabs, we …
hurtling through the universe.
On a collision course, I've yet to decide
is a blessing … or a curse.

You preferred Rubber
and I, the Revolver.
You, ever cryptic
and I, problem solver.

Between us …
so, so many syncronicites.
I … would try my best to be a rock.
You … relished in duplicities.

The essence of these …
born in your youth, a precious defense mechanism.
Still … I always admired your noble quest
for that ever elusive perfectionism.

Two Scarabs, we … both carved from precious stone.
Restless souls, forever seeking shelter.
Roaming through time … reckless … wild ...
our lives, whirling 'round … slippery … helter skelter.

But yours, made of of rubber …
mine, made of steel …
each with our reasons, bounced off of one another …
offering nothing for the other to feel.

I'll watch for you, while saying my prayers …
out there … on the sands.
Maybe next time, with the blessing of Ra, it won't fall away …
like these grains, slipping through our hands.

Two scarabs, we …
on an infinite collision course …
while forever hurtling through the universe.
A blessing that, this time … sad as it is …
somehow, came to feel like a curse.
Ever feel like you have known someone through lifetimes?

The Sansui turntable still works well.
Like memories, round and round,
Needling me. And the more I play them,
The more they itch.
I know the dark side of the moon,
And the way the sun shines.
The dances, whirlwind moves,
That have settled now.
Inside the sleeve are notes and our words.
I will not let the dust jackets do their job.
I set Abbey Road gently on the pad,
Place the needle softly, and hear the familiar scratch.
Standing back, like watching a parade,
I listen.
Here comes the sun on a cloudy day.
It's a long and winding road to get to that answer. Some friends and I had come together because we each had a free ticket to ride the roller coaster 'Across the Universe' at the new theme park 'Helter Skelter' which had just opened on my birthday. The 4 of us...Jonathan the Tax man, Richard the Egg man, Paula the Meter Maid and Georgette... (well, she does something) had just come out of the 'Magical Mystery Tour' where you take a virtual ride around the entire park in a yellow submarine, and gotten in line for the roller coaster. Who should get in line right behind us but The Beatles. They were in disguise, but the accents gave them away...not to anyone else, just us. Paula whispered to George 'Closer...let me whisper in your ear' and she let him know that we knew. To make a long story short, we spent a day in the life of The Beatles. I offered to let them drive my car to their hotel, but they said they were waiting for the van to come and take them to see a guy named Ed. We spent 10 minutes telling them how great our day was when John finally shouted; 'LOOK, you say hello and we'll say goodbye'
...and in the end it was a day to remember.
When I'm 64, I'll still remember like it was yesterday!

O Darlin', I wouldn't give
u the shaft; this is just the
tip of my iceberg; sinking
into ur abyss is all I want
to do; ur my angel & the
mother of my blue heaven
O Darlin', please believe
me when I say I am that I
am & all I wanna do is live
inside u & grow big &
strong at ur ****; I've always
wondered if Mary breastfed
baby Jesus; if that's the case
****** mother's milk is the
best; O Darlin' there's no way
Jesus had blond hair & blue
eyes; even the Nazis didn't
believe that racist hokum;
if anything he looked like an
Arab & smelled like a camel;
there's no record in the Bible
where he ever took a bath &
why were girls always taking
every chance they got to pour
perfume over him; he must've
stank on ice & I as Jesus'
***** am left wondering our
miracle boy never got laid;
O Darlin', I am JC's *****;
the one & only God's son of
a *****; take me in ur mouth
& let me squirt a bit; my bread
is stale & my wine is bitter;
can angel's swim; another good
question & why didn't Jesus
play the oud like some desert
Dylan; I'm sure the Lord's
Prayer could have rhymed
if he'd really tried but like
Orpheus & the Beatles he was
attacked by screaming fans;
let all my tiny angels down
ur throat in a pop Middle East
Invasion; I love u yeh yeh yeh
& u love me; all together
now, I am Jesus' ***** &
Jesus & I are one; O Darlin',
I would never do u no harm;
but if u can swallow all
of the above get on ur knees
& say ur prayers, bless this,
*****; open up & say Hallelujah
so I can give u some of my
timeless true blue religion
dedicated to KDF (she knows why)

i woke this morning to the blues,
tired eyes can’t fathom this phantom news.

fire breathing out his window pane,
in my dream, thought i'd gone insane.

fictitious facts dawned on me,
my heart scrambled for her recipe.
  
                          So i turned it all off and ran away,
           the twenty four hour cycle versus my ten pound nemesis,
                               can't bear this brunt day after day,
            redemption songs need some bliss.

trust in me as trust in you,
find my flaws....... don't perfect them.
a little boy, i'll re-main true,
cease the fire A-gainst the wind.
casualties can't be subdued,
mind the dice........but don't crap out.
there's no ice that seems to dew,
extinguish flames, round your bout.

                                     Be on my side, I'll be on your side.
                                     Be on my side, I'll be on your side.
                                     Be on my side, I'll be on your side.
                                     Be on my side, I'll be on your side.
