WORDS: Panhandling on I-71 When a journalist reads his sign As the journalist gives a dollar bill Our ears are given quite a thrill He’s moving’ up this world Giving us all such a thrill with his Smooth, silky, velvety vocal cords Ted Williams… so smooth… The homeless hero… with a golden voice… Camouflaged in camouflage Living’ on the streets of Columbus 2 years sober from alcohol and drugs A former radio announcer His dream is to rebound To make his mother proud Now the hottest guest on TV With job offers from the Cavaliers, NFL, and MTV Like what? That is so awesome. So flippin’ awesome. He’s going’ home to Brooklyn To make his mother proud! He’s gonna make his 92 year old mother proud! A humble man who appreciates life He’s not taking this for granted A homeless hero with a golden voice Rebounds with a viral video.

WORDS- Polydactyl super cat Polydactyl super cat Polydactyl super-duper cat Kitty cat She’s got 21 digits 21 digits on her mitten paws She’s got 21 digits All the extra digits act like opposable thumbs She can open doors Catch toys in the air Play fetch and take a toy from here to there She’s got 21 digits 21 digits on her mitten paws Polydactyl super cat Polydactyl super cat Polydactyl super-duper cat Kitty cat

WORDS: The torment Of being a human being The torment Of being a sentient being The torment Of this awareness Deep within Every moment We know Death is lurking We’ve built up our defenses So very well That we are unable to penetrate Our own mind’s fortress It stifles our consciences So we forget the imminent Deep within Every moment We know Death is lurking If we didn’t have this ability This mental blockade of reality If we didn’t have this ability Would we be evolved? Would we be stunted with agony? Would we go literally crazy?

WORDS: Every cloud has a silver lining I’ll cross my fingers that you’ll find your feet. Drastic times call for drastic measures Now I’ve got an axe to grind About that chip on your shoulder And all of your slips of the tongue You know you’re mad as a hatter With your nose all out of joint Always adding fuel to the fire It’s down to the wire Listen up. Every cloud has a silver lining I’ll cross my fingers that you’ll find your feet With all those skeletons in your closet The jury’s out and it’s a dead heat. It’s been dog eat dog Cuz’ you’re set in your ways With your foot in your mouth Never been on the same page Cuz’ you’ve been crying wolf You’ve been throwing stones You’ve been biting the hand You’re a wolf in sheep’s clothes Every cloud has a silver lining I’ll cross my fingers that you’ll find your feet With all those skeletons in your closet The jury’s out and it’s a dead heat. A shot in the dark Just a slap on your wrist A taste of your own medicine I ain’t beating around the bush I’ve been around the block Now I’m calling it off So put your best foot forward And not in your mouth. Every cloud has a silver lining I’ll cross my fingers that you’ll find your feet With all those skeletons in your closet The jury’s out and it’s a dead heat. You’re the worst of both worlds This is the last straw You’re in over your head You got off on the wrong foot And now you’re on your last leg You’ve rocked the boat Now it’s sink or swim Do an about face Or you’ll be between a rock and a hard, hard place.

WORDS- I could care less. I couldn’t care less. Use your brain. Learn the difference. It’s spreading. What’s spreading? The ignorance. What? The incorrect usage. Huh? Of a common phrase. Oh. It’s spreading. What’s spreading? The disrespect. What? Of sensical language Huh? Of a common phrase. Oh. All too often my ears are burned when I hear the use of an incorrect word. If a person says that they COULD care less They are saying that they are still capable of LESS caring. But if a person uses the phrase correctly by using the contraction of the two words COULD and NOT They successful express in the conversation that they truly do not care. In summary, I could care less about the way you speak But I couldn’t care less if you care for me. See? I couldn’t care less. I could care less. Use your brain. Learn the difference.

WORDS- Ants…………… meandering along the blanket A caravan across the picnic desert High above I view as Demi-God observer Isn’t this what Imagination’s for? Satellites whiz about the lonely planet Directory assistance from afar Codes in vibratory sequence map solutions Remote viewing a-priori non-rational Verbose ciphers inscribe a protocol encryption Algorithms fingerprint validity Esoteric doctrines veil midwives of science Polyglots in Babel rewrite their ancestry A mystic courtier with keys Approaches the girdle of Time… Oh my - oh my – the keys do not fit! Through mental arches seekers seek perfection circumambulate a blind alley…. Productive man achieving his end with a multiplicity of accomplishments Devouring man achieving his end through a monopolistic attitude The state of the senses: Plateau of wisdom Plateau of spirituality Plateau of immortality………………………………………………… (look at all those ants - so determined)

WORDS- Spinning in a spiral that comes to an end The way war ends for most is death We perpetuate this violence Electing leaders with blood on their hands While we the people live in disconnected fear Too afraid to speak, too afraid they’ll hear Spinning in a spiral that comes to an end Disregarding the signs from our environment Ignoring warnings from our scientists Electing leaders owned by corporations Who continue to discount environmental degradation To make a fucking buck Spinning in a spiral that comes to an end We the people are our only chance To end this cycle, change within Find compassion for all living beings Rise up, rise above Evolve through peace Evolve with love Turn the end into the beginning.

WORDS- A year to cycle from egg to adult Between each stage the mayfly molts… His last few days are his first few days with wings Oh mayfly- waste no time Time to get busy with mid-air mating Oh mayfly- meet your fate Join the swarm and copulate Oh mayfly- make haste And keep on mating… keep on mating… keep on mating… It seems so fun to fly over lakes and streams Especially after living most of life without wings It seems so tempting to just soar and explore And see everything past your watery home But- you have two sets of genitalia for a reason The time has come to rapidly use them His last few days are his first few days with wings Oh mayfly- now’s the time To find a mate to bump and grind Oh mayfly- seize the day Rise up and copulate Oh mayfly- make haste And keep on mating… keep on mating… keep on mating… There is no No time to eat No- no time to sleep Just time to breed So you can release your seed In the form of eggs His last few days are his first few days with wings Oh mayfly- waste no time Time to get busy with mid-air mating Oh mayfly- meet your fate Join the swarm and copulate Oh mayfly- make haste And keep on mating… copulating… lay those eggs and… die.
