Is that a boat on the reef weighted down with stone? I can't tell with this spell on me. Must be a joke, and I know it very well. Take my word, I'm a madman don't you know. The haze I've been wandering in blinded me. At times I really didn't know when or where to go. Up was down. Down was everywhere. I couldn't carry on. My troubles as deep as a well have chains on me. I'm not dying. I'm not living. Belief in this kind of living is a hard way to go.
And where to go? I do remember a light shining bright — bright enough to let in the common sense of returning to tending the garden of future dreams. Yes for me ... maybe for you. So I call to him:
One eyed-jack eating in the seafood store
do right over the hill way down underneath
things are just not the same
Lefty Grove has faded away
in the air
in our bones
saplings wave
as the bluebirds' blues haunt
strum your psychedelic mandolin
tap the corns between your toes
what to say
what to do
what to choose
Mickey Cochrane throws down two fingers
and the mountain dew is oatmeal
concrete skies are cracked
filled with Silly Putty
sold at the Home Depot
on sale
slightly used
fallen from Gracie Allen
the word on the street is
legends are born
legends are assembled
crazy cats bebop
through the spinach patch
uh ha
hey hey
rock it up
rip it up
shake it up
groove to your gouda
D.C. bound

I hope it wasn't "too" medical. I hope you and yours are ok.
miguela — I agree, but yet dream
monkey — I learned ECHN hospital food is toxic — especially the kidney stone pie.
I had a fine echn experience with a 6 ft. brunette beauty therapist not shy
to reveal her silliness & good cheer or her rather long long lovely legs..
art james for president is an amusing hyperbole.
Art james for some damn position of authority in our society is paramount, but his advanced old age
and his reluctance to be 100% coherent in
revealing his plans for our community is a bit troublesome to me.
Still, he would make a fine mayor of Silk city….
rated with love
I vowed total silence.
I admit that I do Love`
`
I Love Michelle Obama.
`
Wendel Berry Thanked Michelle for the backyard Garden. Wendell was at the White House.
He mentioned that You:
`
Michelle and Barack are:
`
The First Resident who?
Who talked to W. Berry.
`
P.S.
I was rereading the book:
`
WHAT MATTERS?
Economics for a Renewed Commonwealth.
`
Forward by Herman E. Daley - He's a professor.
Daley is a professor of economics at the School of:
Public Policy at the University of Maryland. Read?
`
Herman Daley also wrote BEYOND GROWTH and
ECONOMICS, and
a book titled`
`
FOR THE COMMON GOOD. ( Let's try to be honest)
That's my thought. Wendell Berry seeks to critique.
He cares about posterity - Children need a Future.
`
The financial structures must be confronted.
he impact of greedy capitalism will be Tragic.
A Tragedy live the destruction out full course.
There is no cure if a real tragedy is in motion.
I prmised to not read blogs and focus on 'stuff'
And I went one day - Then I came here to read.
`
I am humbled . . . I'll sent to Sam Kass etcetera.
The White House sent a Farm Market photo too.
I was two years ago when Michelle helped 'it' open.
`
Symbolism?
I say we can:
grow Pure
Grub we
can Trust.
`
Michelle has a modified 'dap' handshake.
I thanks you. I was sota melancholy. Oho!
This perked my mood. I had been wondering.
I was 'off-line' reading old deleted Salon Post.
I saved every comment since December 31,`09.
I have been rereading old Salon comments etc.,
I am Glad (Klytus) for past 'Fallout' with lawyers?
Sorta.
We ponder
I hope we learn
Adversity teaches
It strengths people
We people need grub
Pure Food. Thank you.
I am glad I've been here.
Open Salon has Inspired.
`
I still call You Mr Mean
Mustard. My best wishes
I'll have to ponder again
`
I heve been quiet and I
swear We People need
Times of Being so still.
