Non-Plussed . . .

 


It's all too much, it's clear to me,
The escapades each day I see.
The things I hear and read about
Can drive one to extreme degree.
My fellow man, when not engaged
By enterprise; constructive days,
Is either one pathetic cuss
Or filthy-rich. I am non-plussed.


Non Plussed

Church . . .


The church of music
Holds no ham and oyster suppers
We're all just deacons
With our boots upon the ground
Marching into mystery
In command but 
Still can't quite see

The church of music
Won't require your weekly presence
You'll find it stays with you
No matter where you are
No dogmatic postulates
No demands on
Your fidelity

It can end the darkest night
Carry you through the hours
Know not if it’s wrong or right
Make no mistake
It’s divine
This church of mine

There are no fiery demons
In what I believe
It’s not for me to say
Who’s  what and where they go
All things flowing naturally
No controlling
Power over you or me

It can end the darkest night
Carry you through the hours
Know not if it’s wrong or right
Make no mistake
It’s divine
This church of mine

Stricly spiritual
No trace of any politics
Lurking in the mix or in the fabric
Only what is good 
No room for hate and no deceit
Honesty 
Sincerity will move you
And me

This church won’t interfere
With what you think or do
Your body and your mind are
Yours and yours alone
No one tells you what to say
No one criticizes
What you feel inside

It can heal the deepest wound
Shine a light in the darkness
Warm a chill in any room
Make no mistake
It’s divine
This church . . . 
It can end the darkest night
Carry you through the hours
Know not if it’s wrong or right
Make no mistake
It’s divine
This church of mine

Running . . .

Of all the things there are to do,
There're hardly any that are funner,
Than running roads and eating lizards,
When you are a roadrunner.

Pianos . . .


On very special occasions
When celebrating felt right,
This place we’d go to,
With ambience and wine,
On a Saturday night. 
Caricatures hung on the wall
Eavesdropping on our most intimate moments.
“I love you.”

It was essential to go there
To mark the passage of time
Between the dates we used to signify
The bond we shared and to dine.
Always served Angus A-1 prime
To patrons of each and every persuasion.
I loved you.

But now that place is all gone.
Where did our love go?
Where is the ambience and
McCafferty’s piano?

While you eat you’re serenaded 
By some local musician
Playing bad renditions of the popular songs.
You sing along.

And so it ended.
Our passion somehow
Just faded away.
And likewise too,
That place we held diving
Became a dance club today.
The memories come charging in.
Sweet dreams and all the romancing related
Are gone now.

All Night . . .


"There's a special satisfaction 
When a job comes off so right
Better break out the good stuff
The boss wants to party all night"
-from Good Stuff by Donald Fagan 

I know the feeling, but fortunately have never experienced it in thsese specific circumstances, nor do I want to.  But the musical vibe is capital.

Well . . .

 


A joyous, celebratory melody by Jay Graboski of OHO which seems appropriate for posting during this, the holiday season. It's called 'Well I'll Be.'
