A Gathering of the Tribes
a tributing to the times
a smeldering of the vibes
a scorning and a scoffing of the lies
a culturing of the civil ties
a massing to the line of one and many
a rarefying to the feat of daily
Drone drone drone Yawn yawn yawn
Kick ass cohort of contiguous creation
a meandering mixing merging of minds
an endless prosaic rhyme
a shortcut to the long road…
a drop in from the hue and cry
a station in the wilderness of why
a wrinkle, yes, in time
A Gathering of the Tribes
Dear Steve Cannon I love you madly
Steve’s on the couch
Its another day of
What has come our way
And another moment to say
What we plan to reply in word and song
And rhyme and such
Steve’s on the couch
Table full of books
Office full of interns
Radio on NPR too loud
Smoke and such. Spirits.
Firing up with righteous rage
And slowly paddling dream scapes
To say this is that is to be able to laugh.
Steve’s on the couch–
Not now, he’s at the piano
It’s the old tunes
We sing along the
Timeless melodies
On third street, second floor, like it’s the first time around.
Steve’s on the phone:
“I’ll tell you what I need
As I can see it
And I am blind you know
50 thousand dollars and this house
forget about the view.
I see so much with my eyes closed.
And get me some shrimp lo mein.”
