Attachment 1Breathe
I am not a poet, a prophet, a preacher
Nor a very probable creature
Yet from few we must be all?
As does spring to summer fall
So in tides I'll speak as waves,
With parting knowledge on sandy page
And as my thoughts disseminate
On the breeze, like dandelions
Floating almost rhythmically
Pirouetted in the sky
Take a moment, breathe it in
All this all too soon will end.
ATTTACHMENT 1
Bluegill Blues
We went a walking, up on the ridge
4 miles from the ocean
Forever from her lips
Through the apple orchards
Planted before time
Infinity don't exist
Unless you've lost your mind
Well I think I dropped mine
A mile or two ago
Or maybe she just stole it
And I'm still yet to know
Honestly I couldn't care
No difference to me
Crazy as the kookaburra
With Mary by the sea
Yes, Mary is the kind of girl
A man would love to catch
But Mary's always catching fish
No room inside her sack
But Seeing as I lost my mind
No difference to me
If it's fish she wants
Then all at once
I'm swimming down the stream
Well I ain't really much a swimmer
But you best believe I try
Flailing white naked limbs
Like it was 1969
A little girl walked down the stream
Crying ma this fish is dying
She said no sweety,
That's just a man
Who's convinced that he is flying
Sometimes if you try too hard
It never quite works out
Like jumbo Jim inside the gym
Who's always working out
Well jimmy was a skinny Jim
Until he tried too hard
Now jimmy does not have a neck
And cannot lift his arms
So stolen from the faultless painter
Who whisks with simple strokes
I stopped swimming altogether
And let my body float
And as their canvas comes to life
In a genius display
I just looked like a dead fish
Floating on my way
I floated for a league or two
And thought about Mark Twain
Nothing really that he wrote
Just more about his name
Well that was just 2 fathoms too deep
For me to keep -a- thinkin'
So I just floated on that river stream
Naked and indecent
Luck would have it I got caught
Not by human hand
But by an eddy, who took me steady swirling in his hands
And as my universe was spinning
And the world was turning round
I realized no one would have thought earth flat
If they'd only looked off the ground
Well all this while Mary was
Just walking through the field
And I was there beside her
But inside I was spinning still
Spinning in a circle
As we walked a simple loop
I started spinning faster
When we sat upon the stoop
I'm sure 1 was telling stories
Or maybe singing songs
Or maybe telling stories
About singing songs all along
I can't tell the difference
I can't tell at all
But when I tell
I tell 'em tall
and tell 'em til they fall
We must have kept on walking
For I started spinning slower
Like a spider's web
The spindled thread
Stopped me in my motion
It must have been the loop
Was done and time go inside
For I was just a naked fish
Floating on my side
When do dreams and realities cease to exist in separate lands?
What is that mysterious thing that for them builds a bridge?
How is this all possible to simultaneously coexist?
I do not have your answers but my answer's from her lips
Yes, Mary by the sea, she pulled me from the stream
Laid me on the shore and made sure that I could breathe
I could tell you all about the ways she made me feel
If only she didn't chop off my head!
I guess I dreamt I was a bluegill
Now, there ain't nothin' left to dream
Ain't nothing left to do
And this ain't nothin' but a classic case
Of the good of bluegill blues
Wibble Wobble
The pitfall of the Wibble Wobble
Staring at the sky
Is that the little Wibble Wobble
Feels so small in size
But should that little Wibble Wobble
Stop to peer and see
The insides of that Wibble Wobble
Span the star lit seas
We're both that little Wibble Wobble
You as much as I
And though we wobble wibbedly
Both of us will die
So as we little Wibble Wobbles
Diddle quibble time
I'll ask you how the wibbie
did we wobbles come to life?!
I'm not the sort of Wobble
Who toggles with the tools
Nor can I scribble
Wibble scientific rules
But once a Wibble Wobble
Told me of their wibble studies
And my wibble wobble world
Expanded by the dozens
That little Wibble Wobble
Ran her finger through the dust
Then wibbled at the moon and said
"That's wobbling in us"
I said what the wibble,
How the wobble can that be?
And she let out a wibble
That made perfect sense to me
See, the wibble in their wobble
Is what wobbled you and me
And though we wobble wibbedly
From one we were conceived
So next time that you wobble at
The little wibble sky
Know those little wibble wobbles
Made the wibble in your eye.
