Drink the Wine (Poem and Song)


So you’ve got some wine and you’ve got some time

But you just won’t drink it in

Cause you’re always waiting for some dream to begin

Yea excuse you need an excuse for each and every use

Cause tasting grapes for the sake of life

Is a foul abuse

So you take a knife

And cut a portion

Carefully and gingerly

To keep up with the notion

That you’d better be so very spare with joy

Because you can’t stare at the common fact

That we’re a million miles from Troy

And each and every act Is a circle and a line

So you’ll sit and wait and wait and wait

And you won’t drink the wine

Omega Alpha (Poem)

Pictures and these memories will turn to dust,

All these pictures and all these memories will turn to dust.

…and yet the stars are made of such a thing and so I still trust…

…and yet the stars are made of such a thing and so I can still trust…

Animate

Inaminate

Animate

Inanimate

These pillars dual

Are guards attending

In a formation perpetual

Whether we’re pretending

With information in our head

Or are proceeding in formation

Towards wherever the gardens led

That’s the operation

And I no longer fear

Because the stars likewise are made of dust

Yes, I see this very clear

In death, in life, in eternity I trust

Hanging with Cecilia – Moody Piano Impromptu and Poem


There’s a wee spider beneath my keyboard…

20180203_124238

so I’m…

Hanging With Cecilia…

Lady Cecilia Meenor Spider spun her silken web

Lady Cecilia Meenor Spider controlled the flow and ebb

Of the weird ocean known as time

Even though lady Cecilia Meenor Spider was no greater than a Dime

Running up and down and back and forth

Up to the south

and down to the north

For gravity, she had nothing but derision

For all her, goings were her own decision

Lady Cecilia Meenor Spider

This masterful seamstress

Was a divine glider

Keeping the magic staying distress

Though the fly’s plight might seem tragic

When caught in her net

His permutation for her satiation

Is a communion without regret

Drunk on her poison feeling no pain

The six-legged flyer releases his soul but not in vain

For Cecilia spider has sent him on home

Where he’s a light beneath a magnificent dome

Thus is the keeping of time and its half

So darling don’t fear

For death is a laugh

When I was a kid I recall going out to my friends Dacha with my drunken uncles. Potato cooking seemed so simple then. First you get properly pissed then you wrap the spuds in tinfoil and toss them in a fire by the river.

Assorted Drunken Uncles Preparing for Glorious Potato Feast

Gone are those halcyon days of gilded simplicity… as is my memory of how to cook a potato… so I did a search for it.

Apparently they explode…

Today was a research heavy/geeky linux tinkery sorta day. Plus this guy was overdue for a walk. So in case I don’t assemble a post before bedtime I’m going to cynically use my friend’s cuteness to distract you from the lack of content.

It turns you

Into city visions

Your eyes become

Kaleidoscopes

Of other peoples

Dreams

Daze-ed is the walk of those

Among the walls that talk

They cannot separate

The lead out from the chorus

Thus feeding on frustrate

That ether

They are static things

Electric buzzing

In the maelstrom

Of soft white lies

And forgotten histories

What use have we for arcane

Magic

Or for symmetry

Such things are daft and tragic

Leave us be

There is no need of learning

Save to secure

The turning of a gear

That will assure

Tomorrow

They don’t know why

And do not sorrow

That tomorrow

Is today

Transmission

The transmission

It’s a mission to deliver

Deaf, Blind, and Dumb

Transmission, Transmission

This banquet is just a crumb
