822 : 7/10/00 : Brilliant

Brilliant brilliant written in fire
The moving finger writes and having writ retires
Look at what it says on the wall
You better drop everything when I call
Brilliant cycle perfect and complete
one thing leads to another and on down the street
I can’t hide the fact that I’m smitten
Dazzled by the brilliant fire in which it is written

821 : 7/9/00 : Go (Sacrifice)

Sign of the sacrifice
everything has a price
I’m no exception there
even if I act like I don’t care
Don’t put one over on me
I’m the real article, see
watch my hands closely
there’s no trick it’s real mostly
I made my fortune in computer go
and it taught me the one thing I know
everybody gets once chance to see
how I use mine’s up to me

820 : 7/8/00 : Passion

Watch passion ignite
not a dim light
blind sense and sight
but it’s all right ma
I’m stalwart strong
But gone for a blonde
I waited so long
to hear the song that
made me just hear
potent wild clear
past self and fear
and not a mere truth
written in gold
untouched unsold
passion hot and cold
a Love so bold

819 : 7/7/00 : Jennie Song

Guinevere...
Guinevere...
Guinevere...
So delicious beyond compare
everything’s better with Jennifer there
at my side; love’s sexy bride
I’m sporting an excitement I can’t hide
Jennie’s song is short and sweet
a princess a twin blessed with a discrete
eternal grace; an angel’s face
that sends me swooning in a transcendent place
plain or complex, coarse or fine
Musta made friends upstairs to make her mine
I won’t let go; you know it’s so; a
Jennie song is in my heart and in my soul

818 : 7/6/00 : Punk (Karma Wheel)

If you run down a punk in Amarillo T-X
If you play football A and M will cash your checks
If a black man robs the wrong store at the wrong time
chances are they’ll burn him for another man’s crime
I wrote this song on behalf of Dustin Camp
I gave the Karma wheel a spin and locked down the clamp
what goes around comes around I promise it’s true
and one day it will come around for you
Hey punks listen while I sing you a tune
I saw the spirit of your friend howl at the moon
He gave me a message to pass along
He made me promise to deliver it in a punk song
His spirit is vital because you don’t forget
He said to make you promise to live without regret
He said true revenge none can halt or steal
When it’s carried out by the Karma wheel
If you want real justice you must make it spin
believe in his spirit and make your lives begin
don’t dwell on this bad world as bad as you feel
I promise I’m at work with the Karma wheel

1,888 : 39 ?


Get your notebook

Only given

fortunes lift

816 : 7/4/00 : Independence Tip

Fit that quill pen with an Independence Tip
Be careful with the balances and how many checks you skip
Nothing written down can make a well ordered state
No brand of governance can work that fails to relate
How fine are you gonna have to write
to fit it on a thousand pages
I’ve got only five to the fifths
and the thing has took me ages
nevertheless my dear friend
All that starts is bound to end
nine hundred a thousand a thousand one
look this story has just begun
soon no more an apprentice
on this declaration’s trip
I’ve got my fountain pen fitted
with my independence tip

815 : 7/3/00 : History

Let’s make history
just like anyone
let’s start a movement
make a new thing underneath the sun
And looking back upon
The way we changed the course
memory’s a time machine
and human thought’s the primal force
Whatever we choose now
is just tomorrow’s history
And whatever happens next
Is what we caused and meant to be
It is our portion and our right
to shape the time that’s given to
the epoch of our power trips
There’s none more key than me or you
The history we’re making now
At least those who get off the fence
is nothing but the myths
they will relate a thousand eons hence

814 : 7/2/00 : Finding the Work

Finding the work is a job on it’s own
I need a day job besides to throw the taxman a bone
Choose life the rally of the doomed
Oh I choose to be lost inhumed
What does it mean to every day
Walk in this crazy, untrained way
Follow Vishnu, Buddha, Christ
Follow the wind the moon the zeitgeist
Practice caution practice craft
sail off on a wooden raft
discover some enchanted land
the work you love is close at hand
Somewhere in a maze of life
there is a chance past fear and strife
of finding the work we require
to end this road of war and fire
And if I find the work I love
the task that fits me like a glove
then I’ll contribute to the cause
to build a whole world from the flaws

813 : 7/1/00 : Home

The millions that have wandered
oh so long and oh so far
the time that we have squandered
following an irrational star
when will my million be led home?
when will we find our way home?
The specter of what’s left of us
starfaring tribe our noble race
left waiting for the cosmic bus
the foolish looks left on our Face
When will we wander home?
When will our wanderings take us home?
Ten thousand years ten thousand more
and look at what we’ve come to now
and look at what I’ve come to now
Whatever we may have in store
Still just want to get home somehow
when will our star lead us home?
When will they come to take us home?

812 : 6/30/00 : Paralyzed

Paralyzed from the neck up
don’t know how I dream this dreck up
agitated and distracted
all the best words were redacted
Paralyzed strapped in a chair
don’t know how to get from here to there
I am a sorry sod
Yet on and on and on I plod
somebody come to break this spell
if I can just take one more trip to the well
and throw my last half dollar in
then I’ll be ready to begin
things start things go things stop
some hot nights I think I’ll pop
something I cannot do without
one shot and I drop with a shout
friends carry me to where
he is and take me to him there
lower me through the roof
he’ll cure me of my need for proof

810 : 6/28/00 : Plan Ahead

Plan ahead to think your way
out of the box of day to day
and living for the weekend
such a short leash, mate
screw it on and mark it well
You won't get another so please dispell
any notion that you can
forever hesitate
blow it up become a star
a twelve room home a fancy car
a private island of your own
go native paint your face
stick a gun under its chin
get in the enlightenment line again
let the great revolver put you
once more in your place

809 : 6/27/00 : Just Call

Just call me now baby
I got a hard core yearning
A knot of pure resentment
at the root of me is burning
I want to take you baby
and do just what I like
hard core nothing shocking
sing it baby grip the mic
Do it with me onstage honey
Show them how it's done
Show them how excited you get
when your hand's around my gun
Plug in and get hard core with me
push back take it all
slide down on it feel me
push me back against the wall

807 : 6/25/00 : Minutes

The wheel is inscribed
demarked by fives
that form the equation
of the twelve persuasion
Degrees Minutes seconds per hour
The factor of twelve
five is prime more power
Built in circular riemann space
The powers that be gettin' up in my face
The big sweep tells the story true
I just swinging closer closer to you
circles in circles
story of my life
I'm storming the castle
and taking a wife
The reason that I'm back for more
Is I know what I'm fighting for
But only God knows what's in store

806 : 6/24/00 : Teleportation

I want teleportation
don't need nothing else
I just gotta be there be there myself
Don't need interstellar
or matter transmat
don't need to be a captain
just a Cheshire Cat
Gotta be there gotta be there
in the thick
Gotta see how the tree makes the
party click
don't want no waiting
no in between
I want teleportation
The real thing
Look to your left now
look to your right
I may appear in your room
some night
Take my hand baby
Step into the blue light
Teleport with me turn to day from night

805 : 6/23/00 : Flies On the Ceiling

Files on the ceiling bats in my belfry
Don't give me that no don't you dare touch me
Dogs on the dark moor cats on the fence
I'm trying to calculate my recompense
Put it all together I guess I'm doing fine
I'm just trying to figure out which one's mine
Smoke on the water drifting and rising
I just want one day that's fucking surprising
When was the last time I woke to find
a single anomaly to challenge my mind
Voices in ducts and lights in the skies
you're lying to me baby I can see it in your eyes
I've got my guard up blocking my resource
my mainline my final recourse
Please God help me find the medium
I'll slip it to her so nice and make her come
Send down my muse we'll make it three
they can make a genius sandwich out of me

804 : 6/22/00 : Hippopotometer

You can really feel your hippo
with your hippopotometer
If your aunt lives in the desert
If your uncle’s name is Jeeter
You can go down to the Kasbah
or stay home and pull your Peter
when you measure up some hippo
in your hippopotometer

1,874 : 25 ?


Time out of joint
oh cursed spite
I need to read and I
can only write
Hip out of joint
Lord touched him there
Fought with an angel
like I fought dispair
God stalks us all
bids us to fight
time out of joint
Oh cursed spite
