about

Looking back at what we had, comparing it to what we have now ... and getting it straight for the Future ...

lyrics

Shareware

a gentle gamelan orchestra
of empty tin cans rattles down the dirt road
while at the pond at the back
new moon tree frogs bleat and bull frogs burp
a rhyming boo-who pulsing chorus
as sweet-water crickets
lap dance on breeze rustled reeds
mining heavenly harmonies
they slither their zithers and play like micro fiddlers
all care o’ lulling that vast musk of sky

fires trail-blaze high on skipping hill tops
beneath those Bedouin stars that promise
pure perfection
nearer, paper thin flutes flutter below longing lips
raining rhythms that speed even the slowest of hearts

memory and imagination fuse

but it seems, these days
these ancient-time future-promises now murmur mute
trapped, as they are
in billions of bloodless cold corpse computers & boxes

velvet moon voices once hummed and moaned magic
now sausage fat noon-day fingers
fake and forge
sunset horizons of begone becomings
with the ‘click of a mouse’: ugh

can you hear this
whistling a ding sing song
my sweetest sweet pea?
because I will
didgeridoo you
didgeridoo you
until you
do do
do
