"Gone, Gone, Gone,
Beyond the beyond
Hail the Goer!"

Yeah I mean,
ride away man

And wave goodbye

Let the lights dim
and the dream dissipate

then it begins

Building the
machine of my
freedom in my
mind

Dealer transfer
cost
+custom-parts/brothers
wrenching

Typical shit
loud as hell,
stoplight fast
dirty

Pollution fog
of the mind pill

time erodes senses/
sharpens tastes

a thousand lives
distilled into a
poem

Eagle screams in
silence
the dream of a dream
of a dream we had

slipping sand
dissipating mists

grasping for ghosts

Are you an
old soul hollowed
out with light

Do you still fear the darkness
have you invested in the nuclear/capitalistic
structure

If you can, walk away
if you've already walked away...

If you never even had to walk away
cause you never even joined the parade

(you wanna ride
with me

totally fuckin'
free)

All these people
trying to live

(I'm trying to forgive


to be in aloneness)

creating
birthing
striving

(I only
ride in violent
silence)

Freedom of pure
aloneness

(light starts to escape
my heart...)

Past life love/pain

old soul lovers

found me freedom
aloneness

where to from here

tear down the heart walls
let the light out/in
again

Surrender the heart wound
play the giver of light

(sacred brother of fire)

RIDE

Whatever star
charged us with this
fate

I can't return the molecules
that have agitated themselves
into the element of fire
(they seethe and worm
coal that won't stop
glowing)

Curse time and destiny
(things I once bowed to)
for giving me half of
what I asked for

What kind of eternal-return
dooms us to this fragile
abundance of gloomy-ecstasy
circling like hawks waiting for
our spirits to leap in death
for an infinite
reprieve

I'm asking my poetry
why

(we don't understand
anything)

bitter filters of
ghost-dreams
streamed in tatters

we rose with all our
molecules in those
moments

fiery avatars
unleashed

I love the part of me
that loved you without
fear

(I loathe the part of me
that loathes me)

ok so the old times
fade away
and these are the times
we don't understand

(that time we flew,
you remember I showed you
how I was an eagle)

I haven't had a summer
since you've been
gone

you wanna meet
me in the 70's
somewhere

I'll wait for you on a
big rock
on a hillside

car parked below
we don't ever have
to go home

I've gotten used
to being invisible

I'm surprised when
someone can see
me

You wanna quit work
and go to life

Or should we quit life and
hit the road

Is there another planet, or
moon or astral plane we could
inhabit

(Tired of this time travel
baby)

If you know my heart
you understand the poems

(if you understand the poems
you are the one)

if you are the one you must
free yourself

Then I will be free
also

(and when I free myself
you also
will be free)

our hearts beat in one space
that time we intertwined the
breath

We are suspended in that one
heartbeat/breath

Time has stopped only
we are spinning
let the spinning stop

open your eyes
I am here

I can chill
for a hundred years
(lay low,
take it easy)

You might come back to
me as a bird
singing in my ear

or you could just be
the whole sky for me

200 light years away from
you

If the gods can travel that far
I can too

She said something
about "all she had
left was brooklyn"

But that's all
she ever
wanted

So much passion
turned inside

sitting here turning
to stone

If I could disappear now
(meditation band-aid)

She was the song I wanted
to hear

Until they ripped the pavement
away

If we met in another
life it would probably be
this one and I would
hold you

in that same forbidden
instant which is the only
place we are still alive

(that was our moment of
perfection shattered)

Do you remember how I told you
that waking up with you was so
much happier than I could have
imagined

(I am simply a ghost
now)

Remember when people were
human
and we lived in cars

Stereos turned liked
brains
and turntables rolled
like joints

She was american and oh
so 1975

Rock n Roll was
alive and fading
but we didn't
know anything

but the waves and the
growing pains

Back in the 20th
Century

And I love what
is inside of you

Like 5000 years
jammed into my heart

it is said
that the answer lies in
not being anybody

Stopping to be someone


(Like passing by somewhere
on an unremembered village
road)

We have to let our
own hearts go

(When I learned your
name

I learned the name of my
own heart)

I've become so
something

(and the time with
myself)

Not needing to be alone
not needing to be with someone

Right down the line
(zen circle)
circus jerk

Hit parade
beat down the gauntlet
haunt down the haunted

hunt up the hill
light from the next star
guides us into
this
realm

Devotional Warrior

Devotional warrior
Maybe the ghost of
my ghost
Will find you

I love all of the people you
Love
and all of the people they
Have ever loved

Just a tattooed stranger
To this world
(I wish we could live
Forever)
My friends,
so much

And the dreams
All rusted
Still breathe

She says there
are no wings
On the real ones

(only we know
what happened
inside
The pyramids)

You never had it
Cut-out for the
Outlaw life

Ridin' dirty
Runnin free

Listen to the
Poems as they
Write me

Riding my bicycle
through dirty Brooklyn streets
I am a child again
