Timeless Clouds

.we got nothing to worry about. .nothing nothing to worry about. .times are good and times are bad. .some days happy some days sad. .but we got nothing to worry about. .nothing nothing to worry about. .all the  blessings we've already had. .know its over when our minds go mad. .but we got nothing to worry about. .nothing nothing to worry about. .world keeps turning either way. .another shot at another day.  Maybe. .we got nothing to worry about. .nothing nothing to worry about. .time has its way right here and now. .fly away through the timeless clouds. eeae

Well, Anyway

The night never stopped. Well, anyway. An aching man wonder boy rambler. All the people he knew. All the things that he's done. Well, anyway. Constructing guitar backs. Standing was just too much. Didn't give it much thought. They weren't using it. In fact, they were leaving. Completely oblivious and uncaring. Cartoon songs about little animals. Well, anyway. Muskrat Spider John Oklahoma Boy songs. From Alabama. That explains a lot. Colorado living is easy and slow. Wrong harp. You are not in tune. Well, anyway.

Radicals

.box of springs. .the saddest sight ever. .living in the future with regret. .a ridiculous state. .wasting days that haven't arrived. .time makes us crazy. .always has. .the fading is intolerable. .the what if blues. .the shoulda. .the coulda. .the woulda. .always a reason for complaints. .your feedback is welcome. .and appreciated. .eating to stay alive. .happy with a one course meal. .happy is not the right word. .grateful. .relieved. .another day to live. .til the radicals show up. .with scarves and machine guns. .saying something bout some god. .paradise of death. .women as slaves. .valentine massacre. .completely vacant of love.

Weird

Weird is a weird, weird word.  Not only the odd e before the i, but it's strange sound too.  Say it five times fast.  Weird, weird, weird, weird, weird.  The forth d can hardly get out and the fifth almost faints to nothing.  Austin, Texas claims the description, which is weird in, and of, itself.  Keep Austin weird we read on shirts, home pages, and commercials.  Which is not weird.  That a city would have a slogan.  Unique by Nature has been all over McKinney water towers and trash cans for years.  And it is true.  'Keep' seems too nostalgic, like the good ole days rut. 'Keep Austin', but the city name is rarely part of the slogan.  This is weird.  The big apple.  Big D, right here inTexas.  L. A., the city of angels, but that's more of a translation.  'Keep Austin Weird'.  I am for it.  Yes.  Almost like a protest.  Like the weirdness is evaporating.  A reminder to act especially...

Texico Days: Act I

Song #1:  Dented Landscape The scene is J. T. Barnes' residence in remote West Texas in the weeks after Texas partnered with the Mexicans to defeat the cartels.  This was after Washington's apathy and inaction towards these brutal organizations became unacceptable to the Texans and after Texas declared their independence once again.  The matter was working it's way through the U.S. court system, but Texas was moving forward as a nation regardless.  Present are J.T.'s inner circle, L. Dean Fitzgerald, Elias T. Woods, Mitchell C. Parrish, Maggie Graham, and a three person Mexican contingent led by Mexican Embajador to Texas Fran Del Corona.  The house is built over a cliff and looks out over tremendous valley scenes.  Evidence of oil production, wind mills, and cattle ranching can be seen in the distance.  Most are seated around a large patio table, with J.T walking and pacing and Mitchell standing off to the side, out of the sun, leaning against a ...

Splendor Of The Old

Reach out for the signs of life.  Reject death.  In no uncertain terms.  Don't need your blood, don't need your bones.  Where something is going on.  A light in the dreary world.  Living free and easy.  Assured future.  Which is no future at all, but constant and always.  Past, present, and future all at the same time.  Impossible to comprehend.  Days of songs.  Nights of rest.  And the reverse of that.  Days of rest.  Nights of songs.  This fear of something that might be.  Or what someone might think.  Or what will happen.  The glory of the young is their strength.  Gray hair is the splendor of the old.  20, 29 of Solomon's wisdom.  Ain't that the truth.  Strength of body and will.  The dead houses are dark.  Blues and grumbling all the time.  Envy and discontent.  Entitled to a life of style.  Blame God if you must.  Wouldn't be the first t...

Escaped To The Water

stop it. we are not here forever. forever has its own place. defined by unknown senses. raise a glass. the enjoyment of moderation. escaped to the water, floating and kicking. love. forgiveness is required. the enemy is incapable. has to work the angles. as far. as the east is from the west. we are forgiven. peace leads to peace. blame. only yourself. daily decisions over time. your own decisions. control. is the world's aim. health and protection. security is a god. hearts. open and clean. the spirits place. where souls and Word meet.
