Man Who Got No Sign
Ko-we-ha Gemini Jim taw Scorpio Salo
Taw sejno-nej-o-to-kono o-ha-na-shi-te-saw
There was Gemini Jim and Scorpio Sal they was livin' by the Golden Gate
Freezin' their nose and wearin' leather clothes and dealin' every way but straight
They had a Leo dog and a Capricorn cat and everything was goin' fine
Until into their life on a moonless night come the man who got no sign
He roared right in like some evil wind and he rolled himself a righteous smoke
As the thunder scrashed and the lightenin' flashed he took a toke and a spoke
Said he was born in an astrological warp when the stars refused to shine
On the cusp of Nowhere and Nevermore he's the man that got no sign
Then he told a story of an endless search to find his missin' part
And Scorpio Sal she smiles at him tries to do his chart
But the Pisces Ben who was Jim's best friend aaid man you must be blind
You better grab your knife and take the life of the man who'd got no sign
And so it happened and his blood run soaked the ground
The arrest was made by Sheriff Slade and Aquarius thru and thru
But the jailer was a Sagittarius so he beat Jim black and blue
And then they dragged him up to the courthouse stairs they said Jim how do you plea
He said man the moon's in Virgo so the blame don't fall on me
Well the jury all was the Libras so you know they was more than fair
But the lawyer was an Aries and an Aries just don't care
The judge he was a Cancer and Cancers have no friends
But the hungman was a Taurus and that's where the circle ends

Even the solar kinesis has restraints
A band of twelve figureless figures allures
Their pantomime enjoying the sun reposes
Buckled but we are at times
To laugh we cry to the deities
Unseen gods quietly in the game of celestials
Constellations anyway figure in the magazines
Over telecasts and broadcasts
On road-way palm-lines

Aesthetic Golden Section Rule
Now I know why Edith Piaf's life was so tempestuous,
she was born on 19 December as a Sagittarean while
her Astrogenetic sign, counting nine months back, is
Aries, the most fiery, unbridled zodiac sign, she took
the lead in her artistic life, couldn't follow any rules -
was never interested in wealth, lived it up in style,
my theory works perfectly for understanding life
I am attracted by Scorpio who rises like a Phoenix
when life runs him down and by Capricorn who is
focused on rules and truth, as a Cancerian I seek
the discipline of the aesthetic Golden Section rule,
faced with the science of translation I fail to create
flowing lines from jumbled originals, earning the
scorn of this scientific fraternity - it is clear
I cannot rephrase in terms that satisfy, I'm wasting
my time fighting windmills, this war was lost before
the first shots were fired…

Esoteric: Astrogenetic Family, Fear Myself, Atilla
Loving my Astrogenetic Family
My gypsy brother is Aries
the word ‘consideration’ is unknown to him,
my Peter-Pan brother is Aquarius
who’s always ready to leave for Neverland
in any case; my sister and I am Cancer
never feeling safe anywhere;
my Tom-Thumb brother is Cancer too –
no wonder he’s fighting windmills still;
my hard-working grandma Cinderella was Virgo;
she was perfect, exquisite in all that she did;
the best cook, the best needlewoman;
my mother, the Queen of Hearts, is Leo, that’s
why she regally reigned over all of us; always in
need of grandiose schemes and compliments;
my happy-go-lucky father is Sagittarius;
thus it makes sense that he’s going about
with a dream in his heart of taking a trip
on a steam train – and a smile on his lips;
my little girl is also Aquarius, happy and carefree
a friend of all humanity, even her alien mother,
dealing with her Scorpio father with dexterity;
my little boy is Sagittarius too, always stumbling
and falling, reading five books at a time with
his far-off eyes on the horizon…
I Most Fear Myself
With Astrology for Dummies in my hand and
Maurice Cottrerel’s Astrogenetics in my mind
I’m ready to tackle my colleagues and friends,
get the date of conception because the magnetic
influence of all heavenly bodies are imprinted
on the fetus then; working out their star sign
based on counting back nine months from date
of birth affords me hours of fun; I was born as
Aquarius but it’s not my sign at all, I never change
jobs or travel as Aquarius does; counting back to
Gemini might have been right, but star dates have
changed due to precession - so Cancer is the
magic one: Dreaming dreams while staying home –
that’s much more likely! The description of Cancer
provided by Rae Orion describes me perfectly:
Introspective – all the time, Intuitive – could it be? ,
an intriguing paradox, when frightened scuttle back
into my shell, fretful and high-strung, defending myself
to my own detriment, so imprisoned by anxieties that
movement becomes impossible, paralyzed by need
for security; powerful emotions washing over me
like a tidal wave – my challenges are to avoid the
‘quicksand of insecurity’ and the ‘snake pit of despair’
and getting to the bottom of my deepest fears and
complicated psyche – at least now it makes sense
that the thing I most fear on earth is - myself!
Attila The Hun And The Queen Of Hearts
Tonight I understand why our family
was marked by such disharmony:
We did not have a myth or fantasy
by which to live our lives as one
I never knew whether Dad was
Attila the Hun, a living barbarian
fighting his way through society
whether Mom was the Queen Of Hearts
drowning in the refinement of royalty
I only knew for sure that grandma was
a Cinderella serving faithfully
while the children five lived in a
separate place where Christo was
a singing troubadour and Ian a clown
I was Alice-in-Wonderland, my sister
seemed to become Annie-Get-Your-Gun
Dawie, the youngest, was Tom Thumb -
all lived in a crooked little house that
was marked by war and strife because
we had no myth to bind us together
in happy harmony with roles for each
in a single Fairytale Fantasy!

Spark In Mars
Should my testicles be that,
Of one born with Gemini Rising?
Should my buttocks be as thick,
As one with Venus and Moon in Capricorn?
Should my Aquarius Sun...
Spark in Mars as it is done.
And should my heart sit with Pisces...
Since sometimes it,
Comes to visit my emotions.
And bringing with it,
A reason for my stiff lift!

Oh My Destiny
Here is a frequent query
Is my heart is too tiny
To believe on Destiny
This anxiety goes in my mind
Why Creator Created Destiny
Whether its Gemini or Taurus
Leo or Aquarius Virgo or Pisces
Worried always why what and how
These signs would work out with Destinies
Would it be Crucial for someone Special
Or all would be Equal in front of Creator
But everyone is sure
Destiny is pure
That one day it would be lured

I'm nasty, never let a pretty face pass me
C'mon y'all knowin' it's easy
For me to get a good girl
Turn her out to sleasy and trashy
She's freaky, live in the bed
Make baby girl eyes roll in her head
This what you need
My mission's to please
Hands to the sky, Nas, J-E

Your girl said you was out looking for me
If so then you need to come and see
If you're ready for a night that you will never forget
I'll give you pleasure and real love
If you let me...
Baby tell me what it is you want from me
Don't beat around the bush if you want my body
Chorus:
If you want it girl, I got it
Come and get with me
Girl I'll turn your body inside out
And bring extasy
If you want it, baby come and bring your body at me
If you need it, girl I got it, got it
Got-got-got got it, come on
Trust me girl
You need to come with me
I've searched all around the world
Finding you is like a dream
When we wake up, you won't feel the same about me
Cause you'll realize
You're life won't be the same without me, whoa
Baby tell me what it is you want from me
Don't beat around the bush if you want my body
Chorus
Just you and me
I told you bring your body, to me
And tell everybody about me
The things I'll do to your body
You'll love me and we can be
(Nas)
Girl what's your astrology, virgo?
If so, you the same sign as me
Gemini's are fly, the kind I need

Excerpts from “The Emerald Tablet” by Dennis William Hauck:
“Distillation” Primary to Virgo
The alchemists considered the astrological characteristics of Distillation to be primarily those of Virgo, whose cipher was assigned to represent the operation. The Egyptians associated their mother goddess Isis with the sign of her theme of changing from a child-like state to a wiser, individualized state was represented by the ripening of crops. The quest of Virgo persons is for meaningful service, and they are therefore closely allied with Hermes. Those Born under this Earth sign like things in order, sometimes worry too much, and have a tendency toward licentiousness, but conscientiousness is their redeeming trait and they have an amazingly unselfish sense of service to others. The also tend to be precise and analytical, seeking to know and understand everything. Famous people born under the contradictory sign of the Virgin include Mother Teresa, Oliver Stone, Dr. Joyce Brother, Lily Tomlin, Keanu Reeves, Michal Jackson, and Paul Rubens.
“Sublimation” Primary to Libra
Libra is the astrological sign of the alchemists chose to denote the process of sublimation. The ancient Egyptians associated this Air Sign with Chonsu, the Divine Child, as well as Maat, the goddess of Truth so revered by Akhenaten. The search for the Libra person is a true soul mate. Librans tend to be artistically sensitive, sociable, balanced, charming, and sympathetic to others. While prizing beauty and harmony, they can sometimes be temperamental or indecisive, which makes people doubt their judgment. Famous people born under the sign of the Scales are T.S. Eliot, E.E. Cummings, Truman Capote, John Lennon, Jimmy Carter, Mahatma Gandhi, Jesse Jackson, Johnny Carson, and Barbara Walters.

I Took A Trip On A Gemini Spacecraft
I took a trip
On a gemini spacecraft
And I thought about you
I passed through the shadow of jupiter
And I thought about you
I shot my spacegun
And boy, I really felt blue
Two or three flying saucers
Parked under the stars
The winding stream
Moon shining down
On some little town
And with each beam
The same old dream
I took a trip
On a gemini spacecraft
And I thought about you
I shot my spacegun
And I thought about you
I pulled down my sun visor
Boy, I really felt blue
You jumped into your gemini
I jumped into mine
Well orbit the moon
For just one time
Tomorrow night
Tomorrow night
Will you hold hands
With me in the moonlight
I took a trip
In a gemini spacecraft
And I thought about you
I shot my spacegun
And I thought about you

I took a walk in space
Boy, I really felt blue
Well, I peeked through the crack
And I looked way back
The stardust trail
Leading back to you
What did I do
What could I do
Yes what did I do
Well

Longing To Express Feelings
Three of us at work have the same
Astrogenetic sign, conceived in the
same time period, all three have to
be stuffed full of medication in order
to make it in a routine world of duty
without time for dreams and visions
One publishes without marketing so
his books don't sell, then Madame
Pompadour can only work when
held in a soundproof cell, the third,
me, can only sit still when heavily
dosed to stop flow of adrenaline
To stop the surge of feelings within,
all three bound to live in world made
for Capricorns- focused, determined
Virgos- calm and analytical, lovely
Librans weighing pros and cons
Scorpios organised and strong
While we three, genetically marked
by the electromagnetic radiation of
the Gemini-Cancer configuration -
longing to express feelings - must
translate scientific lines - starved,
caged, ear-phoned and drugged
To do our cold work - we should
not be cooped up with the music
in our soul wasted on research of
scientific terms instead of writing
mesmerising lines - I visualise a
wonderful new world in which
We shall be free to officially weave
dreams and feelings to enrich the
lives of the realistic signs and help
Pisceans and Aquarians to refine
their visions; use the enthusiasm
of Aries, Leo and Sagittarius
To accomplish wonderful ideals -
towing languid Taurus along to a
wonderful new world of comfort
in inner peace…

Working at CVS,
Michael knows photography

He is also very friendly and
will lend a helping hand,
He knows how to get your
film processed as fast as he can.
He has his dog Baxter on display,
he is Beagle who howls during the day.
Michael only walks him when everyone
has gone to work,
He doesn’t want neighbors mad and think
His dogs a jerk.
Michael is sweet as can be,
he has been with his boyfriend 22 yrs. plus 3.
Yes, boyfriend’s is born under the Cancer sign,
his name is Jon and Michael has been with him
a very long time.
Now Michael is a Gemini who always has a smile,
stop by CVS and develop your film in style.

Featuring keith murray
1 - shorty you keep playin' with my mind
You tease me all the time but i had enough
Maybe i should ask your girlfriends why
Why you are so afraid to fall in love
Girl i won't get next to you
You know i don't like sweatin' you
But something 'bout the way you make me feel
You got me in this fantasy
And all my friends keep tellin' me
Shorty's kinda hot, so what's the deal?
2 - cuz we been spendin', rollin', livin', showin'
We got some time for play
But you've been player hatin', waitin'
For this rhyme to pass away
Repeat 1
You only get the best with me
I wanna give you everything
And anything you ask of me i will
And i don't want to front on you
So tell me what you wanna do
And if i'm not the one
Just keep it real
Repeat 2
Repeat 1

Now first of all baby, what's my name?
Spell it backwards you read game
I'm known for splittin' wigs and readin' brains
And when i say splittin' wigs and readin' brains
I mean breakin' it down conversation-wise
Let me explain
I'm in your corner, girl be on my team
Together we could fulfill each other's life dream
We both gemini so we got 2 sides
Our zodiac sign is the perfect sign
Cuz she replied, "all gemini's lie"
I guess this is what it feels like when doves cry
Your attitude is deep cover
Won't give me the number
Cold play me out like a foul, a bleep or a blunder
It's like a burnin' in the chest, a cardiac arrest
You look like you havin' fun puttin' me thru stress
So in between time and in the meantime
You do your thing and i do mine
But don't play wit my mind
Shorty, shorty
Won't you please get naughty with me
And if you really wanna
I can be your fantasy
You are so afraid, oh baby

Sign On The Cross
by Bob Dylan
Now, I try, oh for so awf'ly long
And I just try to be.
And now, oh it's a gold mine
But it's so fine.
Yes, but I know in my head
That we're all so misled,
And it's that ol' sign on the cross
That worries me.
Now, when I was just a bawlin' child,
I saw what I wanted to be,
And it's all for the sake
Of that picture I should see.
But I was lost on the moon
As I heard that front door slam,
And that old sign on the cross
Still worries me.
Well, it's that old sign on the cross,
Well, it's that old key to the kingdom,
Well, it's that old sign on the cross
Like you used to be.
But, when I hold my head so high
As I see my ol' friends go by,
And it's still that sign on the cross
That worries me.
Well, it seems to be the sign on the cross. Ev'ry day,
ev'ry night, see the sign on the cross just layin' up
on top of the hill. Yes, we thought it might have
disappeared long ago, but I'm here to tell you, friends,
that I'm afraid it's lyin' there still. Yes, just a
little time is all you need, you might say, but I don't
know 'bout that any more, because the bird is here and
you might want to enter it, but, of course, the door might
be closed. But I just would like to tell you one time,
if I don't see you again, that the thing is, that the sign
on the cross is the thing you might need the most.
Yes, the sign on the cross
Is just a sign on the cross.
Well, there is some on every chisel
And there is some in the championship, too.
Oh, when your, when your days are numbered
And your nights are long,
You might think you're weak
But I mean to say you're strong.
Yes you are, if that sign on the cross,
If it begins to worry you.
Well, that's all right because sing a song
And all your troubles will pass right on through.

No Common There (Fun Poem 72)
Some outside signs make you wonder
whose brain was in reverse
when they thought them up.
I walked along a promenade there was a sign,
which read No Smoking Zone.
A little further down
was a similar sign facing the other way.
Therefore, for twenty yards
you could not smoke between the signs.
You could smoke an inch before the sign,
but an inch further on
you would incur a hefty fine.
However, there was no sign
to tell the wind not to blow the smoke
into the direction of the smoke free zone.
Any person with a bit of common
could see no common there.

but all I can tell you
is how they died,
yesterday,
at the same time…
