There's More . . .



. . . and then there's Mondo Cane
Excess, pun intended, abounds
The trick, I reckon, to this dilemma
Is not becoming one of the hounds

We've mentioned oysters and complications
And we're not through yet you may rest assured
A word here, if you will, upon disparity 
Lest we all become inured

There's thems that got and thems that haven't
There's kind and nasty and in between
A saint, I'm not asking, to be's very tough
But 'allowing' in practice is still rarely seen


There's More

Symobolic . . .


(Inspired and/or otherwise 'lifted' from https://www.facebook.com/jay.graboski.3?fref=ts by my good friend Jay Graboski)
". . . Americans (are) literalists who “don’t know how to communicate in symbols except in the baldest of ways." Are symbolists and literalists the divisive ones who have a hard time understanding a messiah who came not parsing texts on vellum but speaking in signs and stories (semiotics)?"


Round every corner and fade into blue
The Angelus rings, she comes into view
Nine is her number
In nine she is due
She will never fail you

Singing creation, look into her eyes
Out of her mouth she is speaking the sky
Circling heaven, higher than high
She in time is movement

Why should I move from her world vibration?
Molding this clay into
Paleolithic Goddess Figurines

Streaming to rivers, she floats on the sea
Gathers her children who sit on her knee
Showing and telling them where they are free
She is softly speaking

Holding the line when she seems unpleasant
Molding this clay into
Paleolithic Goddess Figurines

There is no real dilemma
She has her own agenda
Though there's a vulture hovering above our heads
Go on and trust the pattern
Her sun and moon are lanterns
Painting the firmament with stars

She is the vision of attention engaged
Breaking the spell of automaton rage
A circuit of heaven, a luminous wave
All is seen before her

Why should I move from her world vibration?
Molding this clay into
Paleolithic Goddess Figurines

Round every corner and fade into blue
The Angelus rings, she comes into view
Nine is her number
In nine she is due
She will never fail you
