I was Stills Young and my trailer was full of juice,
I took off with Young Ross to do El Cap.
We got mighty high on Hiway 99,
On our way to The Yosemite.
The year was seventy-three and we tried the old 3-D,
We got shut down on pitch thirteen.
And the captain said you need jug band music.
So come back next year, boys, and forget that CB noise.
And forget your boom boxes, too.
And the Whites and the Bulldogs and the Kennys kept on truckin'
While we nursed our hurt in the same old way.
We smoked haikus in a bong, and it wasn't long,
Before we knocked off Salathe.
It only took six days, and my lady was amazed
That we handled it with apparent ease.
I had patched the hole in my soul, and I felt like a demi-god,
I began the fad of holes in Levi knees.
They were Lee Riders, actually.[Click to View YouTube Video]
Peter O'Nutoole at his absolute best, just like I was then.
Black in the day, White in the night.

Something that was said up post made me think about the beats the mad free form poets from the fifties and how the formative experience in a couple of the men's lives was a hiking trip.
That Kerouac describe as a climb. It was a climb to them but as a climber it was and read like a steep hike. The perception thus is of course in the eye of the reader based on that persons
own background and experience.
It has been twenty years since I last read "On The Road".
That seems sort of sad and amazing at the same time. The book was some sort of validating
tome that I would reach for over and over again.
If a girl left me I would reach for the book that I do not have a copy of at this moment. The staccato sound of the writing style some how gave an over active mind something to follow and a calming effect took hold.
As I think back on that younger me it seems that I was not the same. Back then my lack of true passionate experience defined as the conflicting feelings of extremes; emotional lows and highs made, "On The Road" and its description of living with passion for every adventure seem vital and important.
I will have to see if as a feeling generating book, a story of more or less directionless slackers, young men with no point or aims and in such a different, world holds any of it's former allure.
Today's world and my place in it and perspective gained from living highs and lows; a passionate life that often seems to overwhelm. Makes the ideas that were already old hat in the seventies when I read it, seems less validating today.
As long as I had a direction to head in and was in line to accomplish something even just a rock climb. I felt equal to or superior to the aimless Neil and sensitive Sal ne. Kerouac.
say what ?? some times you feel like a nut and other times you send an email
casting a stone into a still pond and it being dark not seeing where the ripples go
did I just put the retrograde into quick silver or is it safe to run out side to cover a leaky car witha tarp in a blowing........ rain storm ........(Ne gale)
and
what about
Gail
some times you wonder and some times you are lost
but wondering around lost is not good for your health
Especially in a rain storm looking for Gail at night

zRoxing is not the mother of invention nor either perhaps the instantiation of the double helix.
Rather it's a simple artifice
Brother I can spare a dime
Not a dime bag mind you

Happy Birthday to mice sister Lenna of the LLayback.
Swanny go brawny go up and come down.
Swell. It's tomorrow, the 24th.
But I may have gone south by then, as Who knows:
What?
Might could happen.
Take that back to Kerouac, Jack.

To Psilocyborg, whose thoughts might could be recorded on the fly,
let me recall to you the Zipless F*#k of Erica Jong, the Dickless John Bobbitt and his Lorena, and the Flyless Flawless Canvas of the Rev's first tent (olive in color, drably damp in the rain) of excellent dimensions where at times there were light shows and hula-hula girls pretending to be Pretty Lodge Maids all in a seeming row.
On the count of three, mass delete.
zBrown, Kool-Aid, if you please.
On that note, let the eclipse begin.

ywhew ...getting it from more than one called buttstain on the thread about the vandal thread
lets keep it clean is my pro an poetry sticky runny ca ca?
what did I say? funny thing, ironic really, I like white sauce
red sauce makes me bLLLL
hmmm how can I say this tact fully .....well here goes
from the age of twelve or thirteen women ovulate ......see where I'm going Man?
if you or I start 'showin red' then as I did today go see the doc be fore your dead
now in me it is some lack of tolerance to tomato ,acid .
mixed with over use
eating et all the time because Of the stress of Impecuniousness I ate the ragoue fresh made daily twice a day
until ((we'll hide the children)) I bled.
so white sauce is in fact now what replaces my once
favorite spaghetti topping but as the bank now informs me electronically ...
((I knew that this net thing was just a trap ))
I'll be going suave' that is sauce less can't afford no savigion' Blanca, a try at French
may be the yard clippings from after tea ??
that's it I will go green.
I do grow basil.
which also was the name of a bird, who we sorta saved
Ironically, again,
that dove was white.
die a rear ?
not the lst or this one
budastalin that is an affront

So yesterday I went to a doctor
That I have a doctor for nothing a free yearly check
Up my U know what they sadly said they had to look
That was done back in the first week of July..So
the doc he says, "are you depressed? “I am getting older and Lipitor
Has wrecked my vocabulary spellchecker but- NO- the doc looked crushed
The next thing I know he is asking wife" Is it still hard enough In bed "?
Say what, and why, and just a golly goshdarn minute doc!!
The only questions that Peter (that is his name)
Asked
Was would you like the Pink pill
Or
For your peter the Viagra blue
The idolatry of happy happy, hump hump
Is a national obssesion
I do not need, and took neither
We, wife and I, left Peter scratching head.

Just like the Hells Angels came to Mountain View whilst The Beatles were no-shows, now it seems The Flames have visited Antarctica.
Fire is a major risk in Antarctica because the air is very dry, says Ian Dunn of the British Antarctic Survey in Cambridge, UK and neither a Hells Angel nor a Beatle. As a result most Antarctic bases have widely separated structures, built from non-flammable materials.

yeah ha
thanks to the flames for letting me and all see the birds of cosmic
Cosmic photo treatment of the backgrounds and then a
history shot dirks are prehistoric ...what ..Shablet auto correct
that rings a bell weren't we recently discussing history and historic
Where am I?....". if I could just turn the platter over to side two "why and who is this thing quoting?
can not post up pics from this
and system sucks and could not see the birds on my email
if I could
I would spread my wings and fly out west where my hart is but schools for kids
the residual of sex thems I love em but end of things like late 70's cunsumption fun
window pain all colors of the rain bow but especially purple and barrel shape pills mescaline
climb climb climb and climb some more autumn rains put a stop to a great season and damn no one here not even the wife wants to play those darn residuals
this is how guiding starts to sound like a good idea some one to take out on the road. get paid for it and drag new pals to points south and west just south and just west
cheeky bridge reply
cheer up it was a good game but not a good result
cosmic do you know Clean Dan ? Denver widow washer climber

This a powerful spot just cross the line are five or six beautiful trees Missing the shade in the Canyons
On the shaded side of the canoyon Darkthawts D’nim
Pistachios who climb here like the kind of advice
Start in the sun climb into the shade.Belay from a comfortable stance
Climb the 'RAGE' Re; straight up. find the plumb line and cross it all ways
Leaving no line in the stone unturned. no left turn unstoned.

Checkin' up on my baby.
A canvass of the circus.
the Rev got mind-blown in Plainsburg
and both of us got a big burrito
and the caterpillars refused to tread on us
the Flames licked up the hillside
and swallowed it hole
without stopping they flew over the crest like wildfire
out there in the NV desert the leaves are never green, red, or blue
they haven't any trees in the Black Rock
you'd think they'd be blue but there's less work in the autumn
a wing and a prayer would be nice, Throwpie
and I'm remembering a not-so-fun TR gangbang with just us two
LONG TIME GONE in the City
did I say GOJE I ANTS?
got 'em in my pants
no time for rants
I hope I've enjoyed my experience at Wired Cafe today.
I have neither comment nor suggestion
just KEEP on KEEPING on
in Arnold Honnold's world
in Antarctica
in OLD JERSEY
in tie-dyed plaid
in the spirit of the international rope-a-dope
cover up and bob and weave
the fire chief-in-chief with tongue in cheek
would seek to speak
like Dylan
shake that tangerine, man
