"Music for Memories"

02/23/06

1970's rain hitting windshields on station wagons
eyes pressed against rolled-up windows
past little minds wandering, listening to chuck mangione
feels so good too

the horns back then & now
set & trigger memories of music to remember
lungs that usually speak words
push through brass translators

big ideas, big steps, big strides
expressions canvas smaller minds
to find surprising memories in music
later in years
no sooner than a forgotten saturday afternoon.

"Exponential Slowdown"

(an idea dedicated to John Lennon)
2/15/06

clap of the hammer sparks intent behavior
a sifted sight, variant selected, an objective
explicit distance held in the minds of consciousness
one after another, each adjusted exponentially
to fit perfectly in the space alloted in now
until then

fortune tellers know all too well a practice
forewarning of car crashes and cracked sidewalks
leading forward the sense, a chance to expect
control and compensate

friends & enemies swimming broad strokes
undecidely beside jestures
... it's a time to think.
