i heard the lady on the news say the trailer broke down somewhere south of here. say we all had dreams inside of dreams. say there was still hope for mankind. but who listens to the news. i changed the channel and watched the lamb lie down and it was 1970 something and I watched the people dance i think they called it FREEDOM they asked me, did you know Love is a country? as i shook my head in amazement we saw it form and we saw it build and build and build and fall. as i shook my head and pitied us, here they asked me, did you know? we knew all along. but i changed the channel and saw fire. and i turned the page and watched beatniks beat the beat hitchhiking here to there for a change. leave us alone and we could fly. say there was more to angst than kids, but adultery and more and we could talk for hours! damn. try to converse with the sky. only in dream. but i learned how to play jazz in crock pots and pan handles and coastlines damn the trains and planes, damn the schoolings and damn the rulings begins a love and a beautiful death but the death is dead again but i changed the channel and saw fire. and i watched the needle drop and thread its way through classic vinyl clothes and i watched love live again through the eyes of picks and punks progressing progressively in circles as we all watch it spin and win and passion plants itself in bedrooms and climbs up the walls in manifestive color which built cities and gave the media life (regretfully) i hear Gregoria lost its flag. and i hear sound waves eating away at time squealing, we started culture i nodded in agreement. but i changed the channel and saw fire. i heard the lady on the news say the trailer broke down somewhere south of here. say we all had dreams inside of dreams. say there was still hope for mankind. but who listens to the news.

This rushed me right back to decades ago... and yes, I saw and heard all of the colors and sounds again. Well done! |
