Peculiar Julia




Peculiar Julia

Peculiar Julia all wrapped up in patchouli and stealies
A little too touchy, a little too feely
Out in a field or in enclosed spaces
Back flashing back she’s following traces
Back to the daze of calliope races
Only the un-imagined men remained stuck in stasis
Exchanging their glances
Inside their own trances
As everybody like us just dances and dances

The lightning is lazy and so is the river
The bolts never fly from the lightning bolt quiver
The river she lies there flat as a rug
Being cut up by ten thousand bugs
Who realize once they all dropped their stances
They all dance until they find their own kinds of dances
The dervishes dervish and the spinners they spin
Seems like the hand dancers have curious grins

The pyramid peaks at the tippity top
Each instrument stretching out this gnarly bebop
For one moment suddenly they all stop and be quiet
Like they know once they start sellin’ again that I’ll buy it
Each guitar note is a whole tonal sound
As you fly up to space and then back to the ground
May you never be hungry may your soul always be fed
It’s just like I remember my elders always said
“There ain’t nothing in the world like the Grateful Dead”

The Now Is In The Know





The Now Is In The Know
by
Sam Flot

Dignified down to the last electron
Signified by the first proton
Graduating from the underground flow
Some sound or celebrated vehicle

The unbuckled buckle
Still softly redundant and supple
Wrist, ankle, knee or elbow

Bending branches
Walking the path that leads to the trenches
Gallivanting along the farm river

Jumping over pools of providential water
Skipping schools of reverential fire

Some beads, a bell and a damaru hand drum
Taken from a Tibetan tree stump

Losing a little on each bump

A little there
A little here

Lost nowhere in the now
As we know it
