Dreams . . .


I'm a dreamer. Not the kind that is fully and constantly immersed in visualizing wonderful things for myself and the world. I simply dream dreams when I'm asleep at night.  I refrain from attempts to read any deep psychological meaning into any of these dreams. My belief is that my brain is simply relieving itself of extraneous data which may have been referenced recently, and that the ideas, people, places, times and incidents are purely random and indiscriminately mixed to produce this potpourri of images. Either that or that the brain is simply working overtime to aid in the digestion of some particularly challenging item that I consumed during the course of the day. 

One such recent image involved my 'thrashing' a 'bully' that I encountered at my 'place of employment' (note: " '. . . ' " denotes dream-produced items). I am not a violent person and do not have such dreams on a regular basis. As a matter of fact, I have generally avoided any such physical confrontations in my life. In any case, the dream produced an anxiety in me which affected my remaining hours of sleep. I seriously injured the 'bully' but felt terrible about it. But in my heart, I knew he deserved it. I also knew (and will remember) that the next time I am presented with nachos supreme late in the evening, I must approach them with considerable moderation.

Live . . .

. . . personal performance of a tune from the Black & White Then Back album

The poet said, 'Trailing clouds of glory 
We come and we go.'
What do we really know?
Smiling so brightly 
Betraying the years 
They have yet to try.
Those little men 
With that glory;
Riddles and bedtime stories;
Little men with that glory 
In their eyes.

Innocence and wisdom coexist inside their minds,
Together with appreciation for the things we miss
In our haste and our big business.
Always in awe of the wheels spinning round
And a laugh for the foolish things big men do.

Everybody thinks about the world and what the future brings.
Who really knows the plan and all its subtleties?
We're really smart, at least that's what we think.
Going our own way in blissful retreat
From the prospect of seeing things too clearly.

Glory . . .

Geese . . .

 


Goose number one 
Said to goose number two,
Seems there's not enough room here
For both me and for you. . . 
And they all walked together calmly.

The second had mustered 
The courage to respond.
He said, "Someone was moving
And they asked me along. . ."
And they all walked together calmly.

And as one they proceeded
With the numbers of might.
And as one, went so well
Til there broke out a fight . . . 
Then they all walked together calmly.

Ocean . . .

. . . City

On your mark get set.
Disconnect that internet.
Every girl and boy
Breathing in the joy. 
Not a care at last,
Sit outside and bask 
In rays of summer bliss. . . 

Catch a wave and ride,
Cars and motorbikes,
Bikinis on the sand,
Dance to rockin' bands
In Ocean City.

Live . . .

. . . performance of 'Third-Hand Intelligence' by OHO (Duo - Jay & Ray)

Heard somebody say
They overheard you
Just the other day.
A simple word
About the way we get along.
If only I were sure
Of the semantics.
Having doubts 'cause I'm
One hopeless romantic.
Could it be
You're slipping away from me?

What will I do
If what I'm thinking is true?
And you want to be
Really free of me?
I won't last very long
Very far from your heart,
And this third-hand intelligence
Might be the way that it starts.

Heard somebody say
They thought they saw you
Walking in their way.
You were not alone.
They said he didn't look like me.
Thinking to myself,
Must be mistaken.
Try not to believe,
but still badly shaken.
Why would you
Deceive me in things you do?

So many years,
Sharing our laughter and tears.
Lasted very long.
Maybe I was wrong
Not to ask you
Why you feel
We've drifted apart,
And this third-hand intelligence
Might be the way that it starts.

Are my sources reliable?
Wait and see.
Wait and see.
Is my psyche too pliable?
It could be.
It could be.

If somebody said
The sky was falling,
Would you believe it's true
And change your direction
From spinning round
When it hits the ground?
That's just not true.
Any believers are few.
When you've seen it all
It could never fall,

Any more than
I think you could
Tear us apart.
And this third-hand intelligence
Might be the way that it starts.
