early in life
there was alfred lord tennyson
early in life
there was the massacre of 1000 indians
and alien cards
then
there was holden caulfield
which led to salinger
then vonnegut
and beer
and wine
followed by irving
and robbins
no, tom
someone gave me armasted maupin
by then i was distorted
seeing different colors
feeling the warmth of michener
no
he was earlier
confused by t-rex
and odd stones
and john prine
then came bukowski
i gave up drink
never did smoke much
but when i did
i really did
good shit
read marx
dylan was always there
and canned heat
by then i was off the main track
but not forgotten
even when i went main (rice)
i was off center (violin)
nin made sense
gibran is right on target
being in the moment
that is the key of one aspect
but just one prophet?
i think it passes down
painted different colors
made of different materials
the one thread is that it is made of all
like sex
it is not the people involved
but the moment
time
and one's place
space
and position there in
yes the kills n white stripes n royal trux
timing
maybe that is what radiohead is saying
i dont know
just the experience
at times it is just standing on top of that hill
the winds of experience passing around you
seemingly through
but you are static
for that experience
it is travelling
yet
you experienced
you were not a part
it was passing
time
space
experiencing memory might be experiencing something blue
but each experience different
so as davis different?
i think not
that was then
this is now...
