874 : 8/31/00 : Pornographic
You’ve got a pornographic laugh
it excites me incites me
to reveal a slender shaft of wit
You’ve got a pornographic mind
surprising so mesmerizing
I’ve got to slip inside of it
oh baby talk to me the way you do
I’ve got to get inside that mind I’ve got to find
the secret to that kinked charm
I’ve got to make you laugh again
and make you give it up that laughter fills my cup
I’ve got to hear it with you on my arm
You’ve got a pornographic heart
Can’t look away I’ll stare all day
Oh baby won’t you pin it on your sleeve
I’ve got a sentimental bent
I’m listening to that heart glistening
with love so pornographic I cannot believe

873 : 8/30/00 : Immortality
1,943 : 23 ?It is written:
Immortality shall
come from the nano
infiltrating through the ears
that’s the secret plan-o
some may try
resist the change
the nano will not spare them
don’t you know the sole cure for
our miseries is to share them
aren’t we gonna get bored daddy
aren’t we gonna crack
aren’t we gonna break down
when that monkey’s on our back
they say we’re afraid of dying
I say most still fear to live
careful what you ask for
what the nano has to give

872 : 8/29/00 : Cassiopeia
Cassiopeia I thought I’d see you
when I let my mind go free
you would descend and speak to me
Pale Andromeda love to get my hands on ya
Why not reach for a star
From wherever you are
And there’s Orion always Orion
Far past the Autumn sky
this year is not yet passed by

870 : 8/27/00 : Intentional
If you feel a closeness to me
If I seem to understand you
I assure you the effect’s intentional
If you found from time to time
that I was not far from your mind
I assure you I strive to be three dimensional
with you
If I’m smarter more accomplished
if I have surprising charm
I assure you it was my aim always
stretching back nine years or more
a chance encounter so much in store
waiting for encounters in chance hallways
Intentional I aimed at you
and though you seemed untouched by me
I never really wavered in the end
And when I knew the time was right
brought my intentions to the light
trusting that somehow you’d comprehend

869 : 8/26/00 : Fifth Principle
Under the thumb of the fifth principle
out of excuses or out of my skull
just trying to find a place where I may rest
but everywhere I go I’m put to the test
This is the wild card that goes anyway
the fifth principle that does not lead or obey
written in water or traced on a stone
it doesn’t appear till it finds us alone
the concept the blueprint the marker the map
and beyond all that a big bucket of sap
and I’ve got a bucket for every tree
and the fifth principle it means nothing to me
but there in the last run I’ll see it arise
and the error of my ways revealed to my eyes
then we shall see what we save what we cull
laboring in the sun of the fifth principle

I need someone to punish me
Uh bend me over sister

1,937 : 16 ?Fever the descending moment
falling back into the same old
Try so hard to step up to a
new horizon in from the cold
The whole world has got a fever
caught it back in fifty one
Used to think just I could see it
now I know I’m not the only one
what is causing this affliction
that has kept us up at night
brooding over past mistakes
and waiting for a hint of light
Fever an ascending chorus
rising to a different, new
way of seeing acting being

865 : 8/22/00 : Arcana
Unrecorded in the lesser Arcana
after twenty years of eating manna
and wandering in a crazy style
I got an urge to settle down a while
The spirit hovers over the water
Reveals the pattern with a vector plotter
no surprises to get wild about
it’s all circles and they all move out
In the lens the all-seeing eye
ups the magnification high
enough to see on the head of a pin
what seems to be an angel counting him
It’s a mad religion true
obsessed with fives and the color blue
The Greater Arcana records not a word
and this is all just things I heard

the great hand of the marketplace
invisibly through all the human detritus sifts
Oh yeah

the foundation of a new day

Am I imagining the world soul
aching and groaning
under the weight of all our irate
pissing and moaning
could it be there’s a true place
where the spirit arises
where the world soul wells up
and silently baptizes
Walking the spiral for the world soul
diminishing spirals
is there a vector of renewal
truth retroviral
And at the center what I’ll find
is not a mind is not a stone
a chamber without door or walls
a place where no one is alone

Loving the question
easier said than done
We all want answers
to our postmodern cancers
embracing the technique
seeking our natural peak
the valley behind us
the sun that may yet blind us
in difference and scorn
have set us back and left us torn
And those of us who still care
We better be there
I’ll love the question true
make my way back to you
and write it in the stars
on Jupiter and Mars
The answer’s in living the question
no sooner said than done

861 : 8/18/00 : Burning Coal
What began as a digest of regrets
of so many things beyond all control
what began as a manual of hedged bets
is turning into a burning coal
I dreamed I smoked a joint with the President
and talked about trying to change the law
that had come to be so diseased and bent
it looked to collapse under the weight of a straw
and I dreamed that I was the President
shouldering a burden I didn’t want
trying to stand up for the innocent
wielding a tool so heavy and blunt
this is a digest; I regret nothing
I stand behind every goddamn word
so ask not if the coal is still burning
of that you may rest assured

860 : 8/17/00 : Sickness
When we’re sick of the sickness
the sickness shall cease
and finally pick up the final piece
a relic of days long past gone by
the sickness in my hand, my eye
and though they offend me
in their sick way
confess I couldn’t pluck them out
cast them away
they say I’m not fit
for the Kingdom to come
and they may be right
I’m no sicker than some
who say that they’re already
riding the rail
that will take them straight through
this illusion this veil
I’m not sick of my sickness
I’m getting there quick
but I live in today
and today I’m still sick

859 : 8/16/00 : The Lost Thought
1,931 : 10 ?The lost thought the lost verse
the lost art such a curse
what it was is gone now
what’s left is the long bow...
it glimmers and dances
but spins past the chances
of chance recollection
evading detection
it’s gone now we must yield
and harvest a new field
set free from the lost thought
content with what’s fresh caught

858 : 8/15/00 : Admit Defeat
Admit defeat avert my eyes
there is no consolation prize
dying for the slimmest hope
hoping God will give me more rope
throw the towel in I’m all through
at least for now at least that’s true
I can’t wait fifteen minutes more
trying to stare a hole through the floor
in a one way tie for last
not much of an iconoclast
no not much of a hero true
so paint my little wagon blue
I might as well go on the road
let all the rubes watch me implode
a tent revival kind of thing
for which this last short tune I sing

reveal the structure within
Up periscope

things far away

I wish I had a scope to look inside me too

I’m past due
for a little rain on my Garden
past due for a pleasant surprise
don’t you think it’s time for
an unexpected joy to be revealed to my eyes
It’s long past due for my
ship to come in
loaded with glory and wealth
Still I sit around and wait to turn the corner
on work on happiness and health
maybe we live in a world of order
Where nothing can occur
before its time
and my sense of being past due’s
an illusion
I just can’t understand the reason
or the rhyme
maybe my time is already come
has been hear all along
waiting for me to unlock its secret
and talk about it in a
song

855 : 8/12/00 : The Magnet Part One
Crystal clear and filled with light
the end of ignorance and night
slightly convex bent and straight
the magnet man can you relate
watch it bend the point of view
of me of anyone of you
watch it bending gravity
part one is over now we wait and see
the magnet is an artifact
produced by the union of a secret pact
its manufacture lost in mystery
and here’s the trick of how this could be
in the background of the story told
there lies a riddled waiting to unfold
where did it go when it disappeared
yet was not destroyed as they had feared
it went to where the magnetism
goes after crossing the causal schism
action at a distant explained at last
the magnet pulls the present from the past

Baby sometimes we’re just
Like magnetic dogs
we spin to meet or

In the grips of forces
we scarcely understand
the magnet part two
has us in its hand
The great Magnet’s will
cannot be superseded
But though we have a fate
we are not yet defeated
the poles we inhabit
Our opposites attract
mediated by the magnet
leaving us the will to act

so race for the bottom
the vast sewage cistern

of dark liberation
the freedom of power
and its machination

and watch them all lie

the woodbine twines
cut to the chase

a tale of threes

849 : 8/6/00 : Decade
It’s been a long time since I felt like
the kid I was so long back
In the day gone gone forever now
Another decade nearly on the rack
what’d I learn in the first one
I ought to’ve figured it out by now
But when I try to trace back I can’t relate
and it all seems a dream somehow
A little clearer on the second ten
at least the last five of that
even so it’s a long time gone
From when I stepped off that railroad flat
And the last ten years of hard truth
seems too short uncertain too
I can only feel sure of one thing
I spent it searching after you
And since I found my baby yeah
This third pass seems worthwhile
guess I’ll have to face the first year
of the fourth one with a smile
You can read an explanation of the origin of these lyrics here
the kid I was so long back
In the day gone gone forever now
Another decade nearly on the rack
what’d I learn in the first one
I ought to’ve figured it out by now
But when I try to trace back I can’t relate
and it all seems a dream somehow
A little clearer on the second ten
at least the last five of that
even so it’s a long time gone
From when I stepped off that railroad flat
And the last ten years of hard truth
seems too short uncertain too
I can only feel sure of one thing
I spent it searching after you
And since I found my baby yeah
This third pass seems worthwhile
guess I’ll have to face the first year
of the fourth one with a smile

848 : 8/5/00 : Speed Demon
Speed demon claws in my back
demon monkey crystal smack
meth and monkey dust supreme
please don’t mind that I scream
If my eyes look like piss holes
in the snow I’ve walked the coals
of methamphetamine collapse
just trying to burn a synapse
that keeps tweaking me to the fact
that I’ve invoked a deadly pact
to ride this comet where it may
and see again if it ends me today
don’t try to slow me down my friend
don’t try to circumvent my end
I always like things short and sweet
Creator or no I must be complete

847 : 8/4/00 : Half Hour
A half hour is nothing no
time to brew a storm, fill a sky with snow
but no time to sit and wonder why
maybe when I’m inside looking at a snow filled sky
How many do you suppose I’ve got left
before I am reaved and my kin bereft
If I had to guess I’d say about a million man
All that I have left to make my master plan
Yet if two friends told two friends
every half hour who says where it ends
before I count all my fingers twice
I’ve got my million one day no price
We could do it all ourselves
no leaders no aliens no damn dirty elves
a collective agency of will
watch the blind spider move in for the kill
just a lovely story friend
all good things must come to an end
with an encryption elegant and small

846 : 8/3/00 : Weird Worm
There’s a weird worm gnawing at my entrails
between my navel and my pineal gland
It seems to move around from day to day
today it seems to be ensconced in my right hand
the worm is guileless it eats without spite
guess I must have brought it on myself
I’m guessing that the way of purging it
is nothing I’ll just pick up off the shelf
I felt it curled around my ear today
it was listening in on my life
it made me sigh it could be worse I guess
a minor annoyance in a world so rife
with parasites and predators
trying to get a healthy piece of you
an undemanding tenant should not bother me
but dear little weird worm you do
I could expunge it with a cold black draught
or catch it near the surface of my skin
draw it through the membrane with a heated glass
extract it and impale it on a pin

845 : 8/2/00 : French Connection
1,916 : 9 ?I dreamed I was a driver on the French Connection
Running smack and guns for the insurrection
Fast money rough trade guns and blow
cops in my pocket and a truckload of dough
I was an enforcer in a factory
making human growth hormone and DMT
making methamphetamine and PCP
I couldn’t believe that motherfucker was me
dreamed I was a smuggler on the Ivory Coast
my eyes were glazed and glossy and my mind was toast
making midnight runs in a cigarette boat
golden chains at my wrists and throat
dreamed I was the kingpin of a mighty ring
pushing something that was worse than anything
Something dark and deadly but I didn’t care
I looked into the mirror there was no one there
I dreamed that filthy lucre was my only kick
mercenary merciless unmitigated prick
when the dream was over and when I awoke
I was very happy to be clean and broke

844 : 8/1/00 : Begins With One
what begins with one
ends with twenty nine
and a few days
If I’m not the same
as the one that was before
where is it the one left behind stays?
open a door
pass through a door
am I a different man
problems the same
persistence and pain
trying to do all I can
Here’s the message of the mission vision
Here’s the goal of the Big decision
Everything begins with one
and where it ends your guess
is as good as anyone
So if I live to see another sun
I’ll call that one
