Museum Of The City Of...IV

I doubt it
though I couldn't rule out any of the above.
The picture tells no tales.
But it's probably something simpler-simpler and more routine:
A gin-soaked pleasure boater gone missing and overboard?
A simple suicide?
We shall never know, we, too, being in 1979
frozen in the throes of sultry youth
dozing in a hammock,
under the elms,
just trying to catch some rays.

A Mac is a closed box, so Apple can make decisions about things that they don't include. That makes, it in some ways, simpler for them.

If I Could

If I could live my life again
a lot of things I would change,
people I have known quite well
their meeting rearrange.
Some would be sooner
and some not at all.

Summer would ring out of joy,
sunshine with everyday;
everyone would smile
as happiness came their way.
No tears would fall
or sorrows stain the brow.

If I could change a lot of things,
I know not where I would start.
Only that I would rearrange my life
to some simpler act of toil
to make things easier
for everything and everyone.

Summer's Child

Looking outside on a hot summer's day
Children run to each others homes to play
The air is filled with screams and laughter
In their adult years, they'll remember it forever after

Sweaty and out of breath, they run to me
Asking for some water or iced tea
Happy to sit and tell me of their day
Even though now, my hair is all grey

Wondrous events and all the new toys
Laughter coming from girls and boys
How innocent their existence is today
When they have nothing to do but play

How we long for such simpler times
To forget them, would be a crime
Yearning for the past and the memory
Of how easy our lives, used to be

The basic parts, the start-up molecules, can be supplied in abundance and don't have to be made by some elaborate process. That immediately makes things simpler.

Poetry May Be Play

Poetry may be Play-
Play of words,
Play of feelings,
Play of thoughts
But the deepest poetry
Is not play.

Play is not the thing
When it comes to the deepest things-
They are beyond play
And perhaps even beyond Laughter-

Play is O.K.
But Poetry in its most holy and painful ways
Is beyond Play.

In the steps of Rumi: 86: Here, maybe now..

Maybe there really is ‘somewhere else’.
Maybe there isn’t.

Travel agents tell me there is.
They even suggest that I’ll be someone different
while I’m there…

but suppose I was? Would I
remember to come back?

Or stay there, be someone else..
until I’m sure, I stay here
and practise just being here.
It sounds simpler that way.

Then when I’m expert in being here,
and go somewhere,
I’ll still be ‘here’ there..

Really? You think that sounds dull?
But I’m happy to be me, here…
Maybe I’ll be happy being ‘here’ there, too..

And when I’m expert at being here,
then I might try being now..

no past to worry about,
no future to worry about;

It sounds simpler that way.
I’ll let you know.

[to Rumi and to Ronberge: poets of the light heart,
the light touch.]

Doin' The Things That We Want To

The other night we went to see Sam's play
doin' the things that we want to
It was very physical it held you to the stage
doin' the things that he wants to
Doin' the things that he wants to
The guy's a cowboy from some rodeo
doin' the things that he wants to
The girl had once loved him, but now she want to go
doin' the things that she wants to
Doin' the things that she wants to
The man was bullish, the woman was a tease
doin' the things that they want to
They fought with their words, their bodies and their deeds
doin' the things that they want to
When they finished fighting, they exited the stage
doin' the things that they want to
I was firmly struck by the way they had behaved
doin' the things that they want to
Doin' the things that they want to
hey
It reminds me of the movies Marty made about New York
(doin' the things that he wants to)
Those frank and brutal movies that are so brilliant
(doin' the things that he wants to)
";True Love"; meet ";The Raging Bull";
(doin' the things that he wants to)
They're very inspirational, I love the things they do
(doin' the things that he wants to)
Doin' the things that I want to
There's not much you hear on the radio today
(doin' the things that we want to)
But you could still see a movie or a play
(doin' the things that we want to)
Here's to ";Travis Bickle"; and here's ";Johnny Boy";
(doin' the things that we want to)
Growing up in the Mean Streets of New York
(doin' the things that we want to)
I wrote this song 'cause I'd like to shake your hand
(doin' the things that we want to)

The eyebrow's out

when things got worst the eyebrows is out,
no chances of repair out from the damage,
for even the broken stain exposes no doubt

what then is the color of white if the eyes
is close and what is blue if the paint is red
things is getting better if the eyebrow's
is out

oh! satisfaction of nerve, hey day is coming
and the breeze of anger shallow the calmness
of the sea, would it be the simpler the world
is the better is bitter

which is which the clue to find the wrong is
the answer; find the brightness of the star for
you will find the dark, no man have ever
perfected the right to be left

Try.....

Play difficult and interesting things. If you play boring things, you risk losing your appetite. Saxophone can be tedious with too much of the same.

All the writers and producers around us that gave us the environment where we could play. They were able to provide us with a place where we could take chances to play with things, go against the grain and do things that people don't always do.

The Shape Of Things To Come

You should hear the warning if you read the signs
Play with your own life but dont play with mine
Youre living your way, Im living mine
May be tomorrow we will collide
If you knew the action, you see us so blind
Play with your own life but dont play with mine
The shape of things to come
The shape of things to come
Welcome to the future

Play To Play

Play to play
Not for home
Not for bed...

Play to
The ground...

Play with
Ball and the bat
OR run and play...

Live your body
Good for health
Have the nice...!

Twice the day
Morning and
Evening go to play...

That is secerat
Of your life
Understand
To try with
Play to play
Day by day....!

Simpler Days

Growing up at a hundred miles per hour
Relentless pursuit of absolute power
Engines of progress full steam ahead
Ranting and raving while being force fed
Deafening sounds of machines humming
Fury and pace of people running
Endless noise of the blood pumping clock
Flash of the lights pulsating nonstop
Tear down these walls Its progress we can have it all
Infrastructure falls Its progress that's what we call it
Traditions are erased Gone without a trace
Take me back to simpler times and simpler ways
Simpler Days
Round and round spinning our wheels
Into the ground the grinding of the drills
No time for family No time for rest
Got to work quick make the world a mess
Relief is nowhere to be seen
Foreclosure of the American dream
Domino theory takes hold
Our future has been bought and sold
Biding our time
Our chances slip away
Being done in
By devices we create
Twisting-Turning resources burning for our conveniency
Pulling-Ripping out stitching that fuses our families
Fighting-lying we are dying harm that cannot be undone
Breaking-Bending here's the ending were writing our own requiem
