nature parties

Everyone likes to have fun
except things that don't know how to have fun
like if you were a tree or the sun
you might not be able to have fun
but what do i know about them
maybe grass parties harder that us
human parties are as fun as sludge
compared to nature parties

i want in
on a nature party
with dj leaves
and the rocktwig band
we can have a biological theme
like 'stream big'
the sun is the party papa
nature has the best parties

human parties are lame
with weird dancing and drinking
give me some mud to throw
and the fun is just beginning
my buddy mountain top
hogs all of the oxygen
but I get high from rolling in grass
and then I itch for hours

i want in
on a nature party
with dj leaves
and the rocktwig band
we can have a biological theme
like 'stream big'
the sun is the party papa
nature has the best parties

barnicle festival
do the delta dance
you ain't never partied with nature?
party with the rocks man!

i want in
on a nature party
with dj leaves
and the rocktwig band
we can have a biological theme
like 'stream big'
the sun is the party papa
nature has the best parties

I'll take some fresh air, please

The old room is still
but dust flies everywhere
the rectangular light rays
expose the particle paths
I sit on the old couch
and there is a mini sand storm
i'm covered in air soot
it's not refreshing

Take off the blinds
take out the window too
I needs some fresh air
don't like the stale stuff
breathing eighty year old oxygen
and outdated cans of hydrogen
is worse that sniffing sticky glue
I'll take some fresh air, please.

as soon as the window opens
a gust of wind blows in
all the dust blows out
it's like a free cleaning job
now I have a clean old room
that smells like earth and air
instead of dead skin cells
and rotten orange peels

Take off the blinds
take out the window too
I needs some fresh air
don't like the stale stuff
breathing eighty year old oxygen
and outdated cans of hydrogen
is worse that sniffing sticky glue
I'll take some fresh air, please.

the thirtyeth

it's da been
da little
da while da since i'de don
wrote in dis ting here
hurr
heayar
i write quick.
cuz the boss comes
and I ain't want him to see me writing on the computer in the
box right here cuz it's worse
than on the notebook that sits in my desk lap
if you know what i say
you know what I say?
I knewed it.
I kneeeewwwwwed it.
I always knewed it since the day I's born
Although I don't remember much that day but what I knew.
Hard to remember some things, know what i mean?
little silly finger lips.
little hair knuckle rips.
Fits play jips in kits and cats
and pink box rings encircle my square writings
publish the now save the post
label the site and let the whole world know
or just those who chime in every once in a while
that dogs can fly just like birds.

wind song

sing a wind song
it goes like this
whoosh whoosh
there it went

wasn't that fun
it's like whispy air
being sent
from here to there
hair hair

sing a wind song
vloom vloom vloom
that's angry wind
about to uproot a fence

sing a wind song
pshhhaaa psshhaha
that's some wind
blowing through an alley

wind wind wind songs
long long wind songs
all of them wind songs
yea

goat knowledge

Sometimes people think they know things

but sometimes they know other things

and not the original thing they thought they knew

but how were they supposed to know?

and for this grace exists

because you're not sure what they know

and they can't quite tell you

so it does no good to get upset

when someone isn't sure about what they

think they can know

and for this grace should last a long time

more than just a few times

but for years

and years

and years

and a lifetime

not to be handed out frivolously

but thoughtfully

and wholeheartedly

yep yep

that's what the goat says

the goat that always stands

on top of that pile of trash

next to the stop light

right on the other side of the 11th street bridge

sources

sometimes it is tough to see where things come from
the side
the back
the front, but just slightly above your line of vision.
especially with things that come from the inside.
Those are the toughest sources to find. I'm tellin you what.
Finding the source changes one's perspective on the product.
shoes made from a sweatshop = bad
organic vegetables = tasty

but what of those things whose source we are not sure about? should we like them
or not like them,
or try to form an actual opinion based on our tastes.
this can be more difficult than people think. that is wanting.
knowing what one wants can be

not many maybe are sure exactly about wants because
ain't nuff time thank bout it.

know what i mean?

so the sources of the strings that wind their chord around my kidneys
and liver
and stomach
and sometimes abdominals.
what is the source of that? and the ulcer - i would like to see the diagram of an ulcer. how she forms, who feeds her, growth rate, geneology - these would all help.
in determining
how to set her back a bit.
know what i mean?

am i naturally short of breath?
I gotta thank bout it a few times a day - slow breaths. that's why I enjoy singing.
controlled breathing.
like yoga
with the vocal chords.

pickle the world

I found a pickle in my room
it was sitting in my chair
It was a pickled apple
you can pickle anything these days
i don't like vinager
the smell stays for days in my hair
so i kept the apple away from my head
just incase the stench would spread

pickled apples
pickled grapes
pickled dinosours and pickled apes
pickled fruits and pickled computers
If you don't watch out I'm going to pickle you

I found a pickled tissue box in my car
a pickled shoe in my garage
Everything is green and shrivled
even my eyes are turning to pickles
now i like my big macs pickle free
because you never know
where them pickles came from
could be a pickled bore or pickled tree root

pickled apples
pickled grapes
pickled dinosours and pickled apes
pickled fruits and pickled computers
If you don't watch out I'm going to pickle you

I'm going to pickle all my food
including all my sweets
i will call it the pickle pyramid
because everything is pickled
get it

furry creature

There's a little furry creature
in the corner of my room
he's scurrying around
like a little brown blur
I hope he doesn't bite
maybe it's a possum
or maybe a racoon
or even cooler, a flying squirrel

I'm not calling pest control
I like the little rodent
I'm going to domesticate him
make him my house pet
feed him every morning
take afternoon walks
me and the furry creature
hanging out buddy buddy

before I put my glasses on
I thought it was a turd
but then I realized
that it was a furry creature
after I put my glasses on
and could see the little bloke
that's how the story goes
you can ask my rodent friend

I'm not calling pest control
I like the little rodent
I'm going to domesticate him
make him my house pet
feed him every morning
take afternoon walks
me and the furry creature
hanging out buddy buddy

even if he's smelly
i don't care
i don't care
we'll be the best of friends
you will see
you will see
He's like my best friend
bff
bff
this was meant to be
the rodent and me
the rodent and me

I'm not calling pest control
I like the little rodent
I'm going to domesticate him
make him my house pet
feed him every morning
take afternoon walks
me and the furry creature
hanging out buddy buddy

singing stars

they look so far away

or maybe they're close

and really really small

like dust mites flying around

but they are stationary

so they may be dangling

from invisdible strings

we play the staring game

and i know i'm gonna win

even if i have to skip a meal

i'm not going to budge

they usually quit in the morning

and i go home a winner

but staring contest with the stars

has cut into my sleep time

stars can be intimidating

flashy like a gloc

still like the numbers in a clock

spastic like a hyena

voice changeover

it is time
for the phone to ring
it has been six minutes
since the last ring...
...
..
..

for what are we waiting?
something to say?
a game to play?
a reg to be signed?
I can wait.

sitting silently, actually laying facedown with his face on some plastic piece. crazy telephone. his cord sometimes floats in the air and i have to strap it to the desk because if I'm not careful the cord can knock important documents all over the place and put us behind schedule. Also the phone sometimes calls random people and tells them, using my voice (he has programed and can reproduce every vowel and consonent I say accurately) that I'm going to buy a coffee and would they like one. I can't buy everyone coffee! that's crazy! Crazy little phone.

i'm a space man

In five years
i'm going to be an astronaut
and fly in a space ship
around the world
and the moon
and saturn also
it's going to be a blast
around the galaxy

i can't wait to eat the package food
like steak and potatoes in a bag
and wear the heavy space man suit
to work on the outside of the craft
all the cool buttons that need pushing
talking to space station on earth
floating around like a bubble
i'm going to be a space man

tomorrow
i'll be in that space ship
preparing for takeoff
3..2..1..
all the levels adjusted
straps are in place
i'm wearing my gameface
lets take off

i can't wait to eat the package food
like steak and potatoes in a bag
and wear the heavy space man suit
to work on the outside of the craft
all the cool buttons that need pushing
talking to space station on earth
floating around like a bubble
i'm going to be a space man

save the planet from imminent destruction
stoping the big meteor
i'll make a great astronaut
that's what my teacher says

i can't wait to eat the package food
like steak and potatoes in a bag
and wear the heavy space man suit
to work on the outside of the craft
all the cool buttons that need pushing
talking to space station on earth
floating around like a bubble
i'm going to be a space man

yeah!

i'm tired
yeah
i didn't sleep much
yeah
i might fall asleep
yeah
while i'm standing
yeah
or while i'm walking
no!
or while i'm singing
say it ain't so!
ima' stop sing!
yeah!
no!
yeah!

cuantos ideas quieren estar descubierto?

Need a little somethin somethin to write on
but I left the notebook at home
it is gone for now
will be back later
out for lunch until 1:30
but when did it start lunch?
some people take long lunch breaks
too long in fact
so long that they are being inefficient workers
i tell you what
you tell me what?
what?
oh i get it.
you are of the long lunch sort aren't you!
it's okay-
I am too.
I was just saying that incase you cared
gotta set a good example!
gotta let um know you care!
there are many people who care
and caring is good
if there was no caring
there would be no sharing
then what wood would they burn in their stove i ask you?

One must stay warm during the winter
the warm cold dry lovely winter
i like the snow
the snow likes me
i like the way it sits on the leaves in the trees
and weights them down
then eventually falls
like a tumbling ruffle of powder
glittering in the air
like magic dust
like saw dust
from a table saw
that's cutting 2x4's that are 30 feet long
that's a lot of dust created there
i know you know but i don't care!
well i do care i take that back
one must care because one must must
we must do the must and the should should shouldn't
i'm doing the should must and the want also
the want and the must
are they even related?
which one trumphs
and lasts after the eyes are closed?
only a few things last that long
not songs
not words
not images
but something else
other people
the intangible
that is what lasts so long
working on the intangible
because if it's not tangible here then it must be somewhere else
if i can't see it here - can someone see it somewhere else?
I think so
I think there is a book
or maybe a video
some method of recording actions
done for the intangible
thread the clothing with this invisble string
that you can collect down by the river tree
it's sitting around the hollow trunk
it's free just go take some
this invisible thread
invisible thread
it serves a purpose so grand it is difficult to understand
difficult to understand how a thread nearly invisible
no human eye can see
no animal eye can see
no one and nothing i know can see
can be so important and monumental
and gigantic and epic and lasting
and timeless and and and and and and
and wrap it around softly
because too tightly can cause some damage
and we want reparations
to lax the citations
and give rest to the bibliography
that is already around a hundred pages
for a thousand page paper
assigned three weeks ago
by the smartest most intellectual person i know
with the biggest brain in a big ole' head
the fastest typing fingers i ever did see
the quickest wit and sharpest dresser
more beautiful than a bull to a heffer
well obtie dobtie doo
the cow said coo coo
like a little birdy loo
what a silly little vaca all twisted up adentro
no sabe quien es y no sabe lo que quiero
lo que quiero es la sabiduria
y una familia que me ama
yo tengo el segundo
el primero todavio no
pero tal vez viene - este conocimiento
lo estoy buscando
y lo voy a encontrar
encuentras lo que buscas
noventa y nueve veces de cien
me dice el profesor
que ensena matematicas
como no se mucho de matematicas
creo lo que me dice
creer los majores
esta bueno por el salud
el salud salud salud que vive en el cuerpo
el salud salud salud que vive en el aire
que mas vive en el aire? hay muchas entidades
hay gallas y vacas y animales tambien
hay computadores y hijos y cases por alla
hay libros, apuntes, cuartos por aqui
y siempre hay una cara mirando a mi
el esta situado por la izquierda del puerto
es una fotografia del presidente de nuestro pais
no lo conozco pero el no tiene tiempo conocerme
lo entiendo yo tampoco tengo tiempo!
es que hago la musico
y juego con las palabras
el tiene que cuidar lo que dice porque mucha gente escucha
pero yo, yo
no hay muchos que escuchan. pero no me importa
digo lo que es necessario
por razones muchisimas
de verdad dad dad
dad verdad. hablo ingles
no hablo espanol
hablo portuges
estoy aprendiendo escribir con la computadora
menos mal que nunca voy a aprender!
es que tengo que crear y lo hago asi
si estoy en un cuarto escribo poemas
si estoy en la prison, escribo poemas
si tengo una guitarra, toco canciones
si me gust cantar, canto canto canto!
que una vida bella de verdad
que un giorno bello e vero
que un dia llena de oportunidad
que una vida que dios me dio
una mente que funciona
un cuerpo que no me duele
estoy ganando plata cada dia
mas importante tengo una familia y amigos que amo y me aman
hay musica en mi cabeza
hay musica en mi corazon
la musica me mueve
y siempre voy a escuchar a la musica de adentro
yo no la puse por alla - otra persona lo hizo
persona o dios
Dios pone musica por todos partes
incluyendo el telefono
cuantos palabras ya escrito?
cuantos mas necesitamos?
cuantos ideas en el mundo?
quieren estar descubierto?
yo creo que mas que un mil - si, tiene que ser mas que un mil
puede ser mas que un millon - o mas! mas que un billion
muchismas mas mas gracias

solitude is the life for me

Sitting breathing looking
and doing some telephone booking
to find my long lost love
that I found two years ago
where is she now I do not know
but I hope she remembers me so
much that I can't hope for anything else
there is not enough room

room room i need more space
someone give me a slap in the face
if i don't stop now I'll feel disgraced
I'm consumed by a pretty face
what will that get me in the end
besides a housebill and a whiney kid
gotta keep my priorities
solitude is the life for me!

put down the book pick up the book
trade the yellow in for white
I need knowledge, friend, not memories
and I know you're kin, but let me be
If I'm surrounded by people all day long
I sometimes think my head will implode
because of the stimuli from outside
it's like too much water in the comode

room room i need more space
someone give me a slap in the face
if i don't stop now I'll feel disgraced
I'm consumed by a pretty face
what will that get me in the end
besides a housebill and a whiney kid
gotta keep my priorities
solitude is the life for me!

fresh air
that only i breathe
well me and maybe some trees
spacious, uncumbered, liberty
this is what it means to be free

room room i need more space
someone give me a slap in the face
if i don't stop now I'll feel disgraced
I'm consumed by a pretty face
what will that get me in the end
besides a housebill and a whiney kid
gotta keep my priorities
solitude is the life for me!

even if it rains

sniffer pap papple
my dog ate an apple
a gorrilla ate a logic
and the pro ate the sound
in the ground
from the pound
said my hound
round round
and round round
she goes
shes goes
we go
here we go
there they went
little flint
little spickle mint in the guitar far out tent
bent trickle nickle pinches in the gibberty gabberty sninches
said the adult poet
who wrote for the adults
about adult things
so that they could learn to be grown ups
cuz it's learned
that's what i heard
that's what i say
i stand by my hay
even if it rains.

a hummed tune

a blade of grass is growing
the winds have changed their course
people are doing headstands
what are they doing that for?

hmm hmm hmm hmm hmmmmm
hmm hmm hmm hmm hmmmmm
hmm hmm hmm hmm hmmmmm
hmm hmm hmm hmm hmmmmm

subatomic explosions
pressure and release
atoms are bunching together
forming a tree

hmm hmm hmm hmm hmmmmm
hmm hmm hmm hmm hmmmmm
hmm hmm hmm hmm hmmmmm
hmm hmm hmm hmm hmmmmm

circle triangle square
a curvy outside contour
steady construction
a solid base and form

hmm hmm hmm hmm hmmmmm

rough around the edges
smooth in the middle
a shape I've never seen or felt
it won't freeze and it won't melt

working elf chips

baghe baghe baghe baghe
this means rhythm
is the language i hear being sung right now now
through the speakers of the box in front of me
sitting near my left ankle
which houses a million chords
cords
and microbiotic chips that run around frantically trying to explode
and make my screen meet my demands

i am demanding of my screens
let me tell you
i don't let them get away with anything
discipline my friends
keep them elves in line if you want productivity
shabam blam

now i need those keebler fellas to fetch me a cookie
because my stomach is speaking to me in a gutteral language
I usually don't hear much of.
so that is that.

real scrambleamble

shiboom er ang er ang er ang
i added an extra syllable this tame
for to see that i can do other thang
and see i did it we proud of me!
when i say we what i mean is he
who lives inside of me that's he
the writer who writes different all de time
and tries his best to do da reel rhyme
da kine yo can rememba

but to doze who knows dat it ain't like dat
dat de butta in de ayar ain't a really gooby splat
it's a thing in the game of the final inning
plopped by bankershmout of the grin team grinning
sending rockets
tru da ayar
to da moon
way ova dayer

i say dis wit conviction
dat you can do dat ting
dat when i eat dem cake
i scrape off awl de icing
awl of it
every last drop
till my peice of bread has nothin on top

i like it like that
simple n sweet
for to bake ma cake
in da oven in da kitchen

it's all about de bakin
take the spices n put um in
start wit de begetables
den put in dat chicken leg
wit suga n salt

i like suga n salt
n fat wit everytang
i can' get enough that stuff
i like it drippin out ma brain
till i'm like a dorito chip
covered in powdered sugar
fried in crisco
then served on top of butter

mmm mmm
maybe das why i'm outta shape
i ain't go no diet technitian
to tell me what to eat
so i eat dem doritos
wit a snicka for dessert
then 2nd desert is butter sugar
my own special recipe

but who cares about food not me
i cares about what important in life
like bein true to da kids n parents
and hopefully findin a wife

but i can' fin' no wife righ' now
cuz i always in dis closet
i could find a closet wife
on the internet somewhere

that might be kind of odd
since i'm not into the internet thing
i'm more about the face to face
real life baby that's me

I don't know how else to say it
but I don't want to live digitally
I want a 3d existence
not something on a screen

the most 3d existence i know
is the combination of sound and sight
to produce music is what's right
if this is the principle in my mind

and i follow these principles
day and night
i meditate on them
with all of my heart, soul, and might

in hopes that one day i might
ahieve higher heights
closer to the creating one
who created all creating rights

created creators to create creations
for days and weeks and centuries
then even more time than that
then even more than that
then more
then more
more
more
more

moer
lawn moer
lawn moer in my yard
lawn moer in my yard at home
lawn moer in my yard at home in stafford va

do you see where I'm going with this?
it is from where I came
all i do is draw circles all day
i don't end up anywhere important
i don't contribute new information
people in my village still hunt and gather
but it's okay because we like it

so let us hunt
let us gather
mostly gather as we're not all meat eaters
but for those who want, let them have
then the consequences of having
for those that have not,
let them not
and be happy that they have not

i'm sure that i have
and i'm sure that i have not
i'm at each end of the spectrum
i wrote the instructions
i created the handbook
the rulebook
the follow up book
the how to for dummies book
all those books
on both sides of the spectrum
all those books
on both sides of the spectrum

but i won't let it be mother mary oh no
because last time i walked through that door i stubbed my big toe
and now it hurts every time i move
there ain't nothin i can do
there ain't nothin i can do

except play with these words
in non-uniform fashion
it is kind of like singing
perhaps it will become a passion
i'de be okay with that
i try to follow those
because dynamism is dynamic
and i don't like static
because i look up to my elders
in positions better than i
who have lived longer than i
know way more than i
i and i
says jahpaul

this draft is getting long.
no one will ever read this
this should be in a diary somewhere
not a wasted internet url
but i am the gibberish spice
in my existential meaningless plights
endulging creativity
without a frame to work in
but i'm in a frame
and i can't get out
it's called a computer screen


my creativity is limited to the computer screen
i guess also my brain
can't be creative out of my brain
that would be difficult
cuz brain is roots
roots is stuff
stuff the shnuff bluff
and cuff the railing to hillary duff
say what?
what what?
be careful with those rhymes!
they can get you in trouble

if there is anything i can do
by golly i will do it
even if i don't like it
i can still try it
but if you tell me what to do
and i end up not liking it
will i have wished to do what i done before
before i tried it?

it is possible things could end up this way
that some people don't think other than what they say
a thoughtless mind and a thoughtful tounge
it didn't hurt everyone
in fact it was good for some

lingy

siggy siggy siggy
overindulgent big biggy
writing whatsoever he wanna
thinkin nobody gonna read it

well nobody want to read it
cuz you write a bunch a nuthin
can't expect nobody read it
if you blablle all de day

why you always start with them same syllables?
n dat same form of talk?
can' you try sompin differn
that makes mo sense?

no hen! no hen! no i can't in the little bin!
i can't rake rakes and i can't shake shakes
i make music song with my syllable makes
making the k sound out of my basset hound
that i bought from the dog pound
two weeks ago today

that's correct mr. limpit
your fish has gone and bit it
he swam too often
and didn't bite the gamb nib it
though i told him too
that crazy mr. limpit.
tying my stomach in knots
like the mean roger clotz
who took up too much of my memory
where there should have been trees
but can i learn humor from trees
or how to be mean
or just a bunch of sway swaing
and lean leaning falling.

lean leaning falling is what i learned
out on the farm in the second grade
when we took a feild trip all expenses paid
by the president of the united states
who back then was hip cool and in touch
now he is old, dated, chuch
said snoopdawg on the news last night
i didn't understand him and that was my plight
language is to be understood snoop
you can't go speaking globeldy gloop
and snoop knew what i meant but he willingly disobeyed
so i went to my church and for his linguistic future i prayed

badunk a dunk

I want to know how to dance
like really good I mean
so people are like wow he's good
even though he's so lean
I took some lessons from a guy named steve
and he tought me bout them hips
he said 'it's all about the cuban motion
but why don't we start with this:

do a little umpf
with that left hip there
then a little pow
with your foot like that
then throw back that neck
for a rockstar effect
but remember it's all
in the badunk a dunk

I don't care what they say
about the social dances
if those hips stay still
you'll lose all your chances
people walking away
because they're not interested
I'm tellin you man
put those hips in it!

do a little umpf
with that left hip there
then a little pow
with your foot like that
then throw back that neck
for a rockstar effect
but remember it's all
in the badunk a dunk

ze social dancez need class
keep ze back straight
chin in ze air
left right left right left
step forward wis ze foot
back straight chip up like zis
you've got it all so wrong
you'll neva be a good danceuir!

zis is too much work!

do a little umpf
with that left hip there
then a little pow
with your foot like that
then throw back that neck
for a rockstar effect
but remember it's all
in the badunk a dunk

really ultra innapropriate

Working on the farm

Good morning farmer John
I'll help you out today
I don't have much to do
so I thought I'd stop by your place
could I feed the chickens?
or fix up the barn?
if you need some elbow grease
I've got a good back and two arms

Just want a day's wages
as a hard working man
toiling outside with the earth
sounds like a good plan
Take a break under a tree
then back to the rows of planting seeds
I'm telling you this is the life for me
working on the farm

I'm okay with a tractor
I know a thing or two about cows
I'm good with a weed-wacker
and I can also paint
just tell me farmer John
the work that needs to be done
I'll do it well and good
till the sun goes down

Just want a day's wages
as a hard working man
toiling outside with the earth
sounds like a good plan
Take a break under a tree
then back to the rows of planting seeds
I'm telling you this is the life for me
working on the farm

I was never an inside guy
I needed something to do
can't sit still all the time

I realized I didn't need to
since I met farmer John
He had a lot for me to do
takes a lot to run a farm

Just want a day's wages
as a hard working man
toiling outside with the earth
sounds like a good plan
Take a break under a tree
then back to the rows of planting seeds
I'm telling you this is the life for me
working on the farm
