We shuffle on
In our human haze
Searching, coming up
With ways
To justify
The things we do,
Some are always
Ill at ease
They’re the ones
Who aim to please,
The rest don’t really
Give a damn
To them it’s all
A game, a scam.

We have the guy
From Kiev on the run
Who’s to say if it’s
Right or wrong
In the crazy whacky
Ways of the world,
But it begs the question,
If he’s to be done,
What about Bush,
Blair, Harper, the Aussie
Dude, Obama and a host
Of others too numerous
To mention,
We show his house
To rile the crowd,
But what if we dropped
The shroud on a
British palace or the digs
Of any of our vaunted leaders.

So here we are,
Hurtling through space
At a speed and a spin
We cannot control,
Held to the rock
By a force that we
Have no power over,
Not knowing where
We are going,
Not knowing where
We are from,
Dreaming up theories
About our existence,
Playing our little petty
Power and control games.

I thought about you
On this Zhivago day,
Snowing like crazy
In a way that is usually
Foreign to The Island,
Perhaps it’s the genetic
Code survival thing,
Naked skin wrapped
In furs, fire and warmth,
Maybe there are other
Reasons that I don’t
Understand or can’t or
Won’t put Into words.

If one can turn
The judgement switch,
The right or wrong buttons
Off,
Observing reveals
Ironic, comic situations,
Those wtf moments
Like the male – female clocks,
Seldom synchronized,
One ticking long last
The other,
The rules, the regulations,
The laws we put in place
To combat
The fundamental facts
Of nature.

They never knew
They never guessed
That’s just the way
Some lives are blessed,
Who know how
Who knows why
That’s just the way
The world goes by,
Some souls seem
To have been in love
Forever.

The woman
Who has touched me
Who has held me
Like few others have,
Who’s mind
Has intrigued me
Made me want her so bad,
I will love her forever
Through lifetimes and more
For her soul has wrapped
Around me,
Kissed mine at the core.

She had a
Moon
On her bum
Tattooed there
By someone,
It’s a shame
For she had
The sweetest ass.

A hundred years later
We’re still on a roll
I came back early
Cause I miss you all
And I need you babe
Oh how I need you,
Hemingway still
With his pen and a book
Charlie still has
That ohh sexy look
And I need you babe
Oh how I need you,
A hundred years later
We’re still on a roll
I came back early
Cause I miss you all
And I need you babe
Oh how I need you,
The world’s still crooked
In it’s crazy way
It doesn’t really matter
What you do or say
And I need you babe
Oh how I need you,
A hundred years later
We’re still on a roll
I came back early
Cause I miss you all
And I need you babe
Oh how I need you.

I never met Bukowski,
I never read Bukowski
Until a sexy Cornell chick
Pointed him out,
She was into Waits,
Lennon, Nine Inch Nails,
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club,
Some sexy chicks are like Bukowski,
Straight to the point,
Some are into dining, dancing,
Waxing, walking, movies, perfuming,
By the time they get to the point
It’s flat and dull as hell.
