Bangkok
Gotcha!
Hey sucker let me outa here!
Hey, man!
Bangkok on a sunny day
The rain has washed the blood away
Thousand of veins left in the streets
But I cant wash away the red points
On the sheets of the hotels
And the cheap rooms
Of the cheap whores
Under palm trees
Under palm trees
My brain is running in circles now
I gotta cure the pain somehow
Theres a coloured cloud in front of sun
And a face is trying to cheat me
And to take away the fun
And the killer troups of the dea
Have just brought my friend away
In the stuff that dreams are made of

Head South
A surf rock man from the land of plenty
Surf rock mess with no surf but pine trees
Struck by being ashamed of your old space
Just wanting that meaning
You bleached your hair
And you pawned your skis
And then you sold out for the
Shade of the palm tree scene
And said, of what a drag!
Oh what a backwards scheme,
Cuz here things go from grey
To grey and back to grey again
And they get green and go to grey
And back to grey again
So he said, head south! [x12]
Struck by being ashamed of your old space
Just wanting that (meat? )
You bleached your hair
And you pawned your skis
And then you sold out for the

The Tent On The Beach
I would not sin, in this half-playful strain,--
Too light perhaps for serious years, though born
Of the enforced leisure of slow pain,--
Against the pure ideal which has drawn
My feet to follow its far-shining gleam.
A simple plot is mine: legends and runes
Of credulous days, old fancies that have lain
Silent, from boyhood taking voice again,
Warmed into life once more, even as the tunes
That, frozen in the fabled hunting-horn,
Thawed into sound:--a winter fireside dream
Of dawns and-sunsets by the summer sea,
Whose sands are traversed by a silent throng
Of voyagers from that vaster mystery
Of which it is an emblem;--and the dear
Memory of one who might have tuned my song
To sweeter music by her delicate ear.
When heats as of a tropic clime

Northern Sky
I never felt magic crazy as this
I never saw moons knew the meaning of the sea
I never held emotion in the palm of my hand
Or felt sweet breezes in the top of a tree
But now youre here
Brighten my northern sky.
Ive been a long time that Im waiting
Been a long that Im blown
Ive been a long time that Ive wandered
Through the people I have known
Oh, if you would and you could
Straighten my new minds eye.
Would you love me for my money
Would you love me for my head
Would you love me through the winter
Would you love me til Im dead
Oh, if you would and you could
Come blow your horn on high.
I never felt magic crazy as this
I never saw moons knew the meaning of the sea

Brief Tsunami Hymn-Elegy
Travellers round
the history
Touch the dandelion
with your left finger
And convey the seed
Onto the putrid palm
tree.
Lancets hang on the palm
Glisten in exuberating air
Abandonned smeary fatigue
in rational hills
To attain Bothar divine
Be it alas by aid
Of inebriation
Lubricate joints
Smoothen surfaces
Extend in complete
Solar radiance
Earth lifted sea

Lift Me Up
Hold me up in the palm of your hand
Lying to you is a river of sin
Your metaphores, your silent calls
Your feelings are too real
Let them spew, a fall from grace
Would do us good today
Ill lift you up, we can love or cry
Hey, Im in love, Ill take you up again
Oh, oh...
All that to you in a church by the sea
Were late, but not in the same way
Were older today
Ill lift you up, we can love or cry
Hey, Im in love, Ill take you up again
Your eyes have too many colours and I can only try
Your energy could be runnin low, now
The juice is dry
Oh, oh...
Images we cannot leave behind
Like two riversides we roll back

Lucky Man
Runnin down the highway half-past eleven
Waitin for my odometer to roll straight sevens
Im a lucky man
I went to see the gypsy the other night
She looked in my palm, looked me in the eye
And said youre a lucky man
Some folks got fortune, some got eyes of blue
What you got will always see you through
Youre a lucky man
Pa went from the army to the factory to the killin yard
I make my living with my hands hind the wheel of this car
Im a lucky man
Messin with me, man, it wouldnt be wise
Roll them dice, son . . . snake eyes
Im a lucky man
Had a girl in calgary, I gave her up
Man, that love thing was messin with my luck
And Im a lucky man
Ill wake up tomorrow morning in another state
Kiss me now, baby, before its too late

Some Ways Of Looking At A Black Mouse
[to the reader:
This is part of a series poem...this one
follows 'Instead of You Today One Black Mouse'
which should be read before this one for greater
context. There is a playing going on in both
poems which is not only about love had and lost,
a black mouse that shows up, as well as a dove,
the day before the lover returns permanently
to live in native country of India. There is
a Wallace Stevens' playing with notions of
poetry, meaning, and more, and a playing with
language and signs which shall hopefully lend
some jarring but enjoyable takes/slants/songs/
glyphs.
When you see the 'x's
in the poem, read
'times' as in the
math sign for multi-
plication. & of course

Mrs. Rita
(jesse valenzuela, jim swafford)
You can see it in her letters
On the paper with her pen
Her response is getting stronger
I think she's coming round again
Tell me mrs. rita
What's it say in my tarot
Read my palm and tell me
Why do lovers come and go
Is she coming round for me once again
Around or was that just the end
I just hope she's coming round again
I've been keeping myself busy
With my books and with my tapes
Every day's much better
Since i've slowed my drinking pace
There's no swimming in the bottle
It's just someplace we all drown
I lost myself in sorrow
Lost my confidence in doubt

Twelve Volt Man
Twelve volt man
By: jimmy buffett
1983
For nez and baja bill at alphonsinos
I never got a grip on penmanship
Could never make the small ls flow
Seldom found the trick to arith-a-metic
Three plus two be faux, pas
But ask for some palm trees
Or tales from the south seas
And I just might turn your head
I never had the clout to knock one out
But hitting was the name of my game
Standing on third as the coaches conferred
Close to my first claim to fame
Just give me the steal sign
And Ill make home plate mine
And I just might turn some heads
Sometimes I may get a little drastic
Sometimes I just let my feelins show
