Your Song/Mountain Song

I was thinking today how ironic it is that I am a Contributing Editor to one of the best blogs in the universe and yet my neighbor who has been published hundreds of times in traditional media forms has no concept of what a blogger does or is.  I decided not to even try to explain, not yet.  But she liked that I was connected to the Cindy Sheehan event and understood that it must have taken some organizing skills and tact to pull off.  That’s a good start.  

Since my interest in writing is mainly on the artistic front, here is a freebie, these are lines I’ve been thinking about in no particular order.  So feel free to rework them into your own order, I’m a big fan of cross-editing and remixes.

They see me comin’

intrinsically challenged and oft aloft

like syrup saturday’s heavenly happening

Tell me what to buy just to suffer you

I’d do anything just to suffer you

mufflephone gets agroexpressive again

counting tempos in one point forever

like marriage

like this

here I’ll show you

timecarved lingering silhouettes sounding

on Moses and scraping like bark into history’s discordia

all hail sixstring leadfoot sparechange bucketsouls

which organic properties consumed you this evening

can I protect the horizon

can I salvage nature

or is this another pipe dream

screaming

I worked hard

took care of things

I worked hard

took care of things

no real reasoning

don’t suffer fools

don’t suffer fools or wooden nickles

single haired brush

microcosms in subtexts linked with html

with no promise of tomorrow

being there in cinnamon root and vanilla bean patience

music was the first MMORPG

landscapes flowing in temporary view

just like you

just like you

can you hack life without convenience?

can you stack a cord of wood tonight?

put up the hay when it’s 98 degrees?

find the least disturbing path?

consider your weight upon the land?

protect the water that runs through?

your spice is new

on my first chew

so warm and earthlike

oh god
