Dream Beyond Prejudice

To Understanding

Last night you took me
for a ride down memory
lane where my learning
is propelled by desire
And here I am carrying
a can of old suspicion
past homeland security
I have never been here
And we are inquisitive
beyond human obstacles
In a mysterious garden
a love of sheer beauty
overcame my difficulty



So They Knew Eachother

Art is Born Is Magic

Dream the fundamentals
of almost any art form
you must have a rhythm
or heart of the matter
Music came from Europe
for this east and west
of the Ununited States
It took the Black soul
of Africa to make jazz
Meat eater of the cave
came to mix blood with
Voodoo man of US south
reach history of stars


Question Where We Live

In Another World

These Sisters of Mercy
in the middle of dream
bid me to reside there
the clouds condominium
They begin to take our
leave of absence after
finding out I am ready
to go the last journey
but no one takes me in
What is the measure of
perfection other world
inhabitants require me
having before I ascend



After Christ We Had TV

In Every Family

You have been dreaming
about some other space
when dishes were dirty
the woman was pregnant
and time insignificant
How beautiful it could
be to start over again
After lightning struck
brought on a confusion
so we all lost control
looking for acceptance
of a box in our corner
of mental manipulation



Dream New Memorial Day

Of Our Restitution

We can close your eyes
to this evil out there
this night still sighs
responsibilities share
Will you come over the
bridge of their sorrow
Witness to Our Century
walk with our tomorrow
Pull back the machines
all US killing is over
Graves had their means
cover US over a clover
blanket of restitution



How Flimsy Is My Flesh

Gone Tomorrow

Monday is my first day
of my week of dreaming
and we could have been
thinking our yesterday
had been the influence
of the rest of my life
A Reverend Norman Koop
sermon all about Jacob
making a fatal mistake
love of a mortal woman
before love of his God
teaches the last thing
becomes most important
