Jester tells his jokes
guess you had to be there or
Breathe in what he smokes

sliding into mediocracy
a poets tongue needs sharpening

inspiration, a heart full of fire
a radical love gone wild

a bolt from the blue
a song for freedom

breaking ancient chains
singing with angels.
This tiny life I live is nothing much
It's cramped into about a dozen streets
And proxy interest in other people's cool ideas
I'm such a poser that was the greatest fear when I was just a stupid kid
To be inauthentic; gods what a shill!
Who then knew anything about who they were to be?

But This life has been directly called out to me by a friend who sees it for what it is. Small and thin and of little importance and little interest to anyone not already in it.

Yet here I am, lovin' it, and letting her rip
Just tear-assign' around the corners and skipping stones and hittin licks. **** I don't know, it's working though.

I ain't afraid to trade a few years off the end for a bunch a kicks to live right here and now, fair trade, there and then. So it's not the long way, But it's the fun way, and the funny thing about the fun way out, is You can chose the fun way at any time, but it's awful hard to get off the ride once you punch the ticket and wait in line. Might as well see whats in store for me, it looked good back there no reason to believe anything else. Like, what are we doing here- Self-reflecting? You gotta be kidding me, that's not why we came this way. Now get back out there and see what there is to see.

With all due respect,
Its been a hard day.

Could you politely,
Shut up.
life improvised
made up as we go along
future unscripted
dreams swirl in my mind
rafting on the white rapids
swimming with dolphins.
Ten hour shifts
not for the faint-hearted
and definitely not for me,
but She says,
baby
faint heart never won fair lady,
so
I win, I think,

One-nil to me.

She puzzles over this
I blow her a kiss
and slip back into the
dream.

dehumanize
-making killing
easier.
Teaching oneself
is much harder
than teaching others:
there will be excuses
for not being diligent
can't get used to change
anxious, exiting my shell
god, I fear the world
