An impromptu poem from March 2014

Tom Waits is one of the coolest horse loving dudes that I know.
Now that I think about it,
A lot of dudes that love horses
Are cool.

Horses meat is eaten in Spain
They say it is good
But lots of people like horses too much to eat it,
They say its like eating dog or something
And I can see their point,
Still, Id try horse sometime
Given enough red wine and a crowd At Carnival ouotside the bar.

Tom Waits might not like to eat horse meat though.

He might find sentimental reasons
But he might say as well as I do
That given enough libation and a big enough crowd
Many people will do lots of unusual things.  
In the 60 70's ppl discover quadraphonic sound
Just look at discotechs
A sort of synchronized mob.

Under the strobe 
Under the scope
Under the spell of Babylon
Or a paradise jubebox.

Under the strobe 
Under the scope
Under the spell of Babylon
Or a paradise jubebox.
Looking up you notice a cloud 

floating across a moonlit sky
And the prefectly-formed 

cumulocirrus cloud is Inside the 

ampitheatre.  
This alarms you briefly
But the pulsing crowd reintergrates 

your attention again.

Smoke and mirrors you whisper
Against the din And think of the girl 

the one that did not bring you here 

tonight.  You think of what your 

companion from the last summer 

might say and sway to the currents 

of fresh air which  makes you feel  

like kelp in the ocean, then your 

date, who you love dearly, now that 

shes away, grabs you by your elbow 

and leads you down the dim blue hallway.
