Are we all not kings and queens Bouncing bright celestial beings On flights of fancy taking off On our sun-lit walk upon this rock Swimming through grey clouds Sache-ing across sapphire skies No mecha-dream organic love But star-lit slumbering Dusting off worn knowledge To wear like a crown No thorns on this one FLCL When I don't fall alseep FLCL Slumbering deep FLCL You don't have to FLCL Take on the world Be a king Reign queen So much responsibility Could you swing the bat? But you can, if you want to.

Begin frum tha beginning Divas don't start by singing Carmen to their audience A king begins a prince Just burn a little incense Sit back Relax Listen to a jazzy sax Surfers learn to wax Before they tackle backs Of waves that could cause cracks In their own backs... Just the facts. Jax. Baby steps my bruthas Kisses first my luvahs Building blocks my sistahs Everyone gets blistahs When they first begin to labah Dig yer paths my neighbah And see where they lead yah But first ya gotta break ground Long's ya know it's sound And sumtimes the floor falls thru Without even warnin' you Then yer really in tha stew Chokin'...

Break of a new dawn And I'm singin the same song Tomorrow keeps on dreamin of makin it's own way And with its camped-up scheming it slips into today. My life Is starting to develop a patina An annoying coating of Things I think I know Glassing the surface Glossing my animus with supercilious Plastic knowledge Unnecessary sauce With the perfect cut of beef I still can taste the truth But there's all this shit in the way. "All that fiberoptic gear Still cannot take away the fear Like an island song" So sayeth the Church of Buffet Orthodox I need A holiday A little Christmas now I need to go to church with my family Shu

Throwin' down the gauntlets "Sometimes foolish people come to me and they ask: 'What is your teaching in short? Which of your books contains your total teaching?' I have no teaching! That's why so many books are possible. Otherwise how can so many books be possible? If you have a certain teaching, then one or two books will do. That's why I can go on talking for ever, because I have no teaching. Every teaching will sooner or later be exhausted; I cannot be exhausted. There is no beginning and no end... we are always in the middle. I am not a teacher." Walls Crumble At the gentlest touch Flowers Bloom With a whisper of wind "Listen sil

Burnt umber atmosphere floats among the crepes The babies of the swallow couple Living in my eaves Duck and dive past My dirty car parked downstairs Gathers dust Thinking about Tomorrow's Morning Dew Playing in my CD player as I drive to Beaumont To get some practice in for duck season I wish the trees would change color Pumpkins 'cross the street For sale at Kroger Promise pumpkin pie Sweet pleasures fall affords Nut bread Maybe some custard Good time of year for cooking The house doesn't get so hot With this weather Winding down Cooling off Stretching out to sleep This time of year the world smells ancient Settling d

Global innoculation Vs. Mental emancipation Can't stop those damned extortionists Can't standardize the system So many young abortionists With dreams don't choose to keep them "Sometimes life can keep you down With your face all in the dirt When you feel that left behind You need to get up and go to church" Global hospital Needs to try some homeopathy Wake up the janitorial And clean the bowels of sympathy Compassion With passion Time to latch on To the truth Slave on or Get your rave on? No need to be a sleuth The love is in the right place And that's inside of you So put on a glad face You're healed by Dr. Truth! A

All of those "higher dimensions" don't exist as seperate places (to use a simple word). I think our problem as human beings is that we are too self-aware. We are too concerned about seeking those other dimensions, fusing those other dimensions, to realize that they don't exist separate from us, separate from what we experience every day, but rather are a part of it. Science complicates things, concerns itself too much with the physical, tries to explain these things and blankets them with theories and jargon and labels and that's what irks me about science. How are you going to attain something if you place all of your energy in reaching fo

"I came upon a child of God He was walking along the road When I asked him, 'Tell me where are you going' This he told me: 'I'm going down to Yasgur's farm Gonna join in a rock and roll band Gonna camp out on the land And set my soul free!' We are stardust We are golden We are billion-year-old carbon And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden Then can I walk beside you I have come here to lose the smog And I feel to be a cog In something turning Well maybe it is just the time of year Or maybe it's the time of man I don't know who l am But life is for learning" ... Thanks Joni. Sweet-hot summer sunshine like candied

I counted crysali last weekend The future beams bright for butterflies. Loving the chill The fulfilled sleepy smell of fall Dreamy dreary Cool calcified clouds Hanging harvest moon Evening of the year Batting it's orange eyelids Drifting off to dream Under snow blanket Silent sweet smelling sleeper Warmed by fire-lit hearths.
