#blubber
In an ocean of night, dreaming of a closed dining space / We were snooping in on a harsh conversation of strangers that we knew / Towards dawn you spoke / as real in the dream as an apparition in the real / of Father and Mother / of them cruising off on a road trip / You faltered at a word I recollect but won't spell / It absorbed into whale song ticking to a time piece / itching to signal morning / and I could feel the depth of many fathoms floating over a waking to Spring / like being pressed against a cherry blossom trunk / in a tug of war, a push and pull / Let's go Jungian on this, he is much more pleasant / I did see a bumble bee yesterday, not a golden scarab, although that could have been a circadian premonition / and I woke up to a shower of blossoms //

In the Blubber of Dreams
Blubber Sometimes I get tired Of all the blubber The grinding of systems The metal to the rubber The pushing of points The singing to the choir Pickaxe in place of featherc Look there's a bird upon the wire Maybe potions going dry No thank you please And fingers going all stiff While here awaits the feast And vases laying all smashed Words sitting there all torn Lets gather the broken scraps Rearrange them and be reborn Maybe it's me and only me Closing an old and tattered page Maybe I've overstayed my welcome On an old and creaky stage Ah the sticks an stones are smiling now The crows I think they've left But the cinders upon ash Still burn bright upon this hearth Out into the clearing See it twinkling up ahead An inkling of some something Some of us have thought of and said Merlin's done it agian Con-Ed's shut down Tesla's come into power And White Bear gets his crown Oh And George Carlin is pope Shakespeare is president They both know the ropes And you what ya think? Wink, wink
