hope

not much of a word

when i was younger

was mostly a game for unhappy children to play

and not really much fun

what does a dragon do

when confronted by a man of fire

lonely puppies

tonight i heard another one

crying into the night


good night my friend

who ever you might  be

pipeliners

those keystone guys

and some others

want to put you guys to work


my father was a pipeliner

i mostly liked him

except for a few years when my opionion was important to me

and what i wanted

which he did not consider his concern

he didn't want anything from me

or need anything from me

art

art is what it is

if one can see without prejudice

which can be difficult

for the educated and trained

who usually become believers

and then hopers


and art goes on being what it is

cause it ain't got no place to go worth going

it's friday night

the kids are home from the ball game

rain and maybe storms are coming

ou and notre dame play football on tv tomarrow afternoon

it's a pipeliners holiday

leaders

as long as people want leaders

there will be leaders


as long as people want followers

or to follow

there will be leaders

of followers


as long as people want

they will be slaves


need can be a clue

but we mostly cheat

in our time

our shell

we could live more freely

without the shelter of our shell


perhaps this is the next or last egg


self imposed shells are the hardest to break

has been my experience

we can be so proud of ourselves

hateful women

one can give them what they want

and be with that


or be what they want

and be with that


or pass on this situations

as quietly as possible if possible


or you could just face her

and see where that gets you

words

mostly pebbles dribbling from our mouths

falling harmlessly to the ground


sometimes little puff balls

designed to influence others


sometimes hurtful things

designed to influence others


and we all must find our way

together

the people in charge

the people in charge are usually dick heads

which is what they have been trained to be


am not a big fan of training

am mostly consider such things an abomination

the window we are looking through

most of us get to look at life through a very small window

how small the window gets

is determined by the choices we make

for as long as we decided to make choices

comfortable to ones self

if one cannot be comfortable with ones self

one will never be comfortable with an other

life is sharing

and we become what we share

even if only with our self

here

here is whever i am

as is hear

but that stuff is usually more of the same in our time

evaluating others by our own standards

this is how we make life small

and our self even smaller

sleep

sleep can be wonderfull

unless we use sleep for a hiding place or escape


that stuff just gets us lost


life is a yes word


no just a word meaning to get lost now

often pretty demanding

what i saw tonight

i saw a young girl

walking down a dark street

pushing a bady carrage

she was tired


i also saw a young guy

walking down a dark street

playing with a video game

he was nervious


that passed down the street this evening

right there in front of me

noise

there is a lot of noise in our world today

i find noise mostly to be meaningless sound


and perhaps we have lost something special

like the presence of our self


so many are not comfortable with their self in our time

and great chaos is upon the land


mostly we have been told what to do

and forgot how to find our own way


finding our own way was not permitted

and our own way became a stranger to us


that path can be harsh

but our self is all we can ever experience here

and all those other selfs


truth is pretty much unexplored in our time

and usually feared greatly


when one has addapted to the land of the lie

truth contact usually is at first painful

depending on how many lies we have swallowed

and made up to make us feel more comfortable

what a place to be born

no one will tell me anything

and those that will are lying

security

there is no security here

dream at your own risk
