LSD Waterfall
(the world around you, never catches up with you)
1.
breath support, fakin,
risin,
tides shiftin round,
unfoldin, evolvin moment
by moment
Mr. Blue Bus
imagined some tune
while picking up his horn,
lighter notes hardly mattered
blasted echoes do reappear
John Handy fades away into the nighttime Saturday melodies of anythings possible, high or low
and then theres Eric's alto,
his hometown point of reference,
wanted highs so blessed the flute
found its holy breath streak,
okay now lower then
picks up the bass clarinet to explore the bottom,
the support,
the mellow gruff of truly being down,
all the while in motion…
2.
please clarify just what music does that is unique?
possibly to point out, Leo says,
or rather to emphasize by counterpoint
perpetually movin
deakin the other guys
explorin possible openings,
keys for free,
bop rhythms rushin to the top
for trimmins
3.
no givin a shit
as long as its there!
trailins so easy
with Handy on flute
on Eros,
sweet day blooms
give take soon,
that electricitys still a friend
inside one huge solar boom
4.
years later
almost don’t know like flailin,
here, have a happiness reefer,
have have can have
all by turnin on another light,
all by goin wherever it will
to its own the constant humm of
ahh glad to meet ya
im alive too,
us all here on this road
where all trails
lead everywhere,
where decisions just fade
back to wherever they came from,
where songs get uttered once in a while
as secrets are told
like gettin smacked with ocean's wet breeze,
remember?
5.
oit dont matter how it falls…
so once in a while a path gets disclosed
clear off a shade reflect,
so see whats goin onnn, bud,
haz ta,
ta keep in
touch
and thaz the way light melts into the night,
constant flight,
here in the air
where on earth,
this iz ittttt
nows the time
inside Erics liltin voice
liftin as some too soon Sunday morn sunrise…
and in what keys do this free fall take ye too
as this light reflects almost welcomingly into yr dark room you know?
then returns to confess more…
6.
a clear vision past
sailin into the stretch of fire
sizzlin its wooden victims
into almost complete horizontal pool
no matter what awareness
this, and that
skatin across this glass syncopated pond
simple
to slide
on by
