Let us drink from the cup of life with Kerouac…

Let us drink from the cup of life with Kerouac…

🎷 

Old Keroacs and Cassidy 
Cutting through space atime
Deranging the senses
Heading Out 
Driving all night
Cassidy 
Tweaking on speed
Non-stop driving
Non-stop talking
Kerouac
In his underwear
Jazz riffing 
Bebop Bebop
🎷
Charlie Parker's
Saxophone 
Blowing us down
Highways
Byways
Spinning
Out

💥

Blowing up 50s America
Dark Knight of the soul
With poetic dynamite 🧨
Throwing down poetic love darts
Carpet bombing conformity
War waged with verse meter rhyme
Scattering Rimbaud's vowels consonants 
Across dawn's horizon line 
Cracking sun's arising 
Kerouac's clock's broke
Time thrown out the window
Past in rearview mirror 
💥 up mono square man walking
As kerouac and Cassidy
Drive on they is stoned on life
Driving on further, further, further
Pilgrimage across this sacred land
Illuminating American darkness
Oh we are all walking
Through the valley 
Of the shadow of death
Can you taste it?
One taste
One kiss

💥

Oh Kerouac and Cassidy
Drunk On Life
They are lit up, lit up
Painting drunken sunsets
Across blazing pulsing skies
Further, further, onward
Into the heart of freedom
It does indeed rise
Oh baby, trust me
Rev up the engines
Our freedom's gonna rise
We're all gonna arise
Out the windows
Appearance is a rising
Kiss of life fully lived
Barreling barreling down
On the Horizon Line 
Get on board everybody
Our destination
Time out of mind

💥

Rise one and all
Listen verses
Abiding Within
Silent spaces 
Kerouac's prose
Antidote for thirst
High priest Burroughs
Cutting up the 20th century
Until it shrieks bleeds
Of materialism 
We have no need
We are liberated
Oh those Beats 
Live on indeed
In my heart
Yours as well
Kerouac
Planted
Seeds

💥

Let's make a wish
At the Poetic wishing well
We've been on the road
Bayou's of mind
Let's leave 
America's hell
Beginningless time
Dharma bums
In our underwear
Yum yum yum
Our wheels spinning out
Awakening All
Before the fall
Without a doubt
With prophetic
Meter, verse rhyme
Conquering
Ignorance
Space
Time 

🎷

Missing Self

Missing Self *** Yikes, my family has become concerned by my inability to find any solid fixed self, what to do? Best to keep quiet about my suspicion of their lack of inherent self. And who or what has been doing this searching and looking anyhow, like a gerbil spinning on a wheel? Those Buddhists,  I tell you, they appear so peaceful  (sometimes ) but are secretly a radical group of self deniers, how wonderfully subversive.  Maybe I have been a Buddhist all along and just realized it. But then I look for the Buddhist and Bam!  Same problem, there's nothing there. I must confess enjoying my nonexistent self today, uh oh, that could mean trouble. Now that I have realized my life is just a dream am wondering what comes next, or if there is a "next." Maybe I will keep looking a little more to be sure no self is to be found. The way things are going I might end up a Buddhist. Now not only can I not find myself, I can't find anyone else either.  I close ...

Springs Healing

Springs Healing *** I’m down and I’m low You won’t let me know What you’re really feeling I opened up my heart As I did from the start Now I think you’re leaving You say it’s not the end That I am your true friend Yet I know your lying So why don’t you just go Before the winter snow I can taste this dying I don’t want your blood Or the coming flood Of the tears you’re crying Because only in our end Will our hearts mend And wake up in springs healing *** David Penn Arndt 2022 *** Artwork Cynthia Re Robbins

Lead me gently to your enchanted lands

Lead me gently to your enchanted lands 🕊️ Oh in our dreams how we hold each other close I whisper in your ear of all the women in the world It's you I love most. A woman like you I believe it not possible, It could not be, but then I found myself drowning, so joyfully, blissfully within your inner seas I fell upon my knees It's you babe In all in every way I wish to please My love's real baby It's not something That will vanish Disappear Leave Blowing out Space and time Loves pure Holding each other Verse meter rhyme Would you take my hand Lead me to your me Enchanted Promised Land Because then my dear How vast My love For you abides You would fully Completely Understand 🕊️ David Arndt  Sirens Of Titan  Down on the Horizon  Line (c) 2022 🌹 Gustav Klimt
