Someone suggested that I try some out, so I did. Transcribed as scribbled. Thanks for reading.
**********************************
Here are 3 that I did in the early AM hours over the last few days. All were done in one sittin', one fluid stream of thought.
******************************
T' man goes n'
N' they tell him
love that cage
but come out
like a new man
But the claws come t'
N' pull n' twist -
N' come out with no suit or tie
But with gawdy eyes (look-)
----
I like the sky
But who knows if it goes
When ah shut ma eyes
I see the car on fire
startin' n' endin' chapters
the water stops t' smoke
but it does still rise
N' walkin' alone n' quiet
N' People hollerin' at you
like them claws below
N' the world tries to break you
N' sometimes it does
Be it with tears or screams
But it seems t' laugh
N' play with you like t' kid
N' like the world toyin' with you
That pretty girl does stand
Behind you n' atop of yer head
She gives you that eye-
not t' run with you-
is the world n' in that world
lies you
Young n' wild
But its like that cage
Big N' Mean But There
Don't blink youll miss it
But its there fer you n' me
********************************************
The birds chirp
N' the winds do blow
The lights turn off as
The sun does go
N' t' rise outta slumber
N' t' be thankful n' glad
Another new day t' stop n' talk
N' what surprises will come
T' me or you
Done by others gettin' up too
T' rise up n' be bored
Is not a shame - but I say
"Let them come t' you"
like the water n' the showerhead
But watch out - the flow does end
At your hand or at the drought
N' they may leave you if.... (whatever dull reason)
Standin' cold n' naked
Everythin' happens not for a reason
but is done for a gain
Yer friends come n go - like t' days
though not as guarenteed
-t' stay or cheer - or go n' cry (I wish...)
Ah say "dont hurt me"
But will ya listen is my creed t' life
N' there they will go
Off n' away to their smiles n' gains
Just as those birds squeel n' the sun goes
T' close ma eyes fer another day
***********************************************
I dont look back at them days
Like a day or n hour
but a dream or slumber
T' say it was fun is a lie
But t' say it was new is the truth
----
N' the guitar goes quiet n' sits down
the sounds of "mama youve been on ma mind"
or I "want you" ring no more
N' the four eyes blink n' two are left
t' lay down alone n' the night
Connected by no more than an electrical wave
N' have you say "Im here"
or words t' make me feel good
Was the gold in the coal in the weeks time
but then ah see that I know-
You now less than I know you with
SO...
-----
Go back t' not knowin' me n see me n laugh
N as the smoke goes in n' out
I relax n' realize-
What a fable or dream - yer not
Beyond words or skies but on two legs like me
Surely whats best is t forget and look anew
like t' widow or flooded house
I look back one last time, hold back that
Laugh, t' dont let it come back n' try again
N' thats why I grind my teeth
----
Youre right on 1 n Im right on 3
But the knife does fly n' stops t' me
Says not a word of love or hate but just hovers
Random n' blue like the green door
Or t' reasons you used t' dig me then
----
But spite me now cause ah want that
N' what comes n' goes will come again
like a wheel or clock
I smile n' laugh and choke myself cause there's fifty more out
ther' like you-
waitin' for their time n' ploy fer me
----
Dont say hello caus I'll start at line 1
again' (but run from me)
Go yer way n' I'll go mine
N' be glad the strings are done talkin
I'd like t' say "I want you" but then I smell
the comedy (like amonia)
N the pen does right, n' the world still turns
So take joy that I'm over thinkin'
N' moving on t' the 10 drawfs in prison
hungry n' REALLY DOWN
~end
And thats it. Comments or questions would be appreciated, thanks.
