blue yodel series #24----






the little spit puddle
there some blood

cat tunnel the yellow
and the creaks

i'm not the minister
but i am the organ

the drug dealers i know,
they all own tiny dogs





1/2/3
the one for me
125, 140, 116
uptown C
come for that noddy
















if i wished that they would
ask me what feelings i
would trade in for what
i'm bout to get
i would tell em to ask

why dont you ask about them others,
chicken fume, heat like cold
dark like beard ring the soul

why you care about me,
when you forget the others
that are also me
like

pit bull wound cabron,
momma mopping the blood
birthday boy got splattered,
raging behind the chain link
fell down slobbering change
rattle in my cup the black
panther gave me breakfast
and you gave me a beatdown
right front of my own home

so how are you going to say
that is why you are fond of me?



oops did i


♪ ♫ and ooh-wee baby ♪ ♫


chin on my chest


♪ ♫ don't say goodnight ♪ ♫


you're talking to me


♪ ♫ ooh baby ♪ ♫

blame the
somewhere else











holding each other forever
each other, one another, the other
holding each other forever accountable

bobbin and wishin
i nightmare mirror like and
wheel cart like bubbles

i'm wishin i'm wishin
i'm dreamin i'm on a mission

one more bad guy
in the bad guy box




at times

fucked up pants

XXXXXX:(

i got jesus i got moses
i got sent back when it was over


squaw mouth and wet thigh




the diva's are fed up
gucci concrete puked it,
the divas are singing out loud
all empty pools the bottom
telling the kids that they are fed up
and they keep it coming
yeah keep it coming
i'll be listening except
from sideline and bench

it was february then
the things i did
it was only february
but it came from behind
i got jesus i got moses
i got when they say
go down go down

eggshell crack i did that
waiting them in the
little church
vines brick and ceiling with
ribs i am belly of the whale
lost and stray from flock i
go down go down

ice was thin because
it never really got cold

except in one place
















O! give me time by the window
where the ashes hang dainty
where i watch a walking away
green backpack it make me laugh
length of scarf it make me cry
lying on the floor i so like
southpaw i'm jesus whippings
christ am i the only one
for me







where ya goin mister?





:lonely:

XLVXI

feather wreckin i squawk
23 years of goose pluckin
fly whatever i want to fly
south b52 north virgin air
i so full jello i so high dharma

religious as hell

i so serene bird when the
yellow in the moon slide
down to the bottom like
it couldnt fight off dream or
some boy threw moon melon
with face like skeleton


and i just cant seem to get my feet on the ground

high with the blanksta
smokin and leanin
heavy drug addiction
grandmother dead didnt know the bitch
dad freaks out in peruvian graveyard
mom freak out all the time
dad hits heavy with extension cord
chopped me on the saw horse and years
later i sing narcorridos with the double pint

and i just cant seem to get my feet on the ground

moon melon sky i did not ask to be so crazy or
for dirty laundry and dilate eye starin back but
whenever i look its skinnier and dont wanna fly

and that is why i feather pluck and flock with
the goose gang that try all sort of skittles
and that is why all day february you cant find me
it is why i am so fond of you
it is why i tar and feather the dreamboats that sail
i love the goose gang lord know love it all but still
fly down where the earth
is dark and also on fire





"you know people die doing that kinda shit right?"

why you think i do it babaaaaay?




X----I



february drop top
mustang flutter by

too cold for a valentine



who lines up to come
to the castle keep
where i keep all the
marks tools and lizards


what's different about this room
when ive been snoozing by myself
in a whole bunch of other ones

i want uptown
i want corner

all solo

i want a dream to crawl out,
a roach in the lo mein box

never written a love poem because
it never leaves a trace on my body
the thing is all about delicacy




MOTORCYCLE GUY #1:
   Hey, Prez, have we got news for you...
Hey, have we got work for you...We gotta guy for you to duel...

MOTORCYCLE GUY #1:    (To Sweetback) You're black, man...
   What's it gonna be? ... Wrestlin'?


   *The chief swaggers over to a big bike and lifts it off the ground. The bikers
gasp and whistle in awe and encouragement*




  GANG:   Hey, how about knives?
  Ha ha! 



 GANG:
    Come on, man, your choice -- what's it gonna    be? Huh? What's it gonna be, man?




*The chief takes off her goggles and helmet -- yes, the chief is a woman. 
A white woman. With long, long red hair. 
She looks at Sweetback. 
Sweetback looks at her*     






 SWEETBACK:   Fucking.

walking over to lilyhammer

i imagined a place

soft afghan flower field and later
theres smithy from the dim places
wailin on my legs

poppy's revenge


no its a netflix
original series

ashed on the floor
put it out on the floor

booty to the flo

boogie with unknown babes
until i shall shake no more I

grind my best healing stone
under my boot
like blue yodel dan

tears or at least tantrum

rainhammer lily
dizzy jade
gimme a hand
cuz here and now i
dont got one to give

cant help it i am the smithy
smithy in the floral sheets
you already knew i was going to
set something on fire in this room

and that is why the shade
is always kept down low

in a time past i lit myself on fire
for a plump german

but you already knew that
and that is why i am fond of you



*~* ANY GIRL WHO HAS A CRUSH ON ME IS FUCKED *~*

named precious stones of joy
dropped over the dark edge
standin lookin down the shaft

damn you will never feel that

i'm sorry for the stones
i'm sorry for the pouch and
the pick ax

when i'm pannin in the stream

joy is mine its mine i put it in the bundle
wrapped it up like papoose you gotta get
your own you
my healing rocks in the pouch
i worry about holes and thorns on my hat
and sad leaks out the ground and gets your feet
but joy you dig for it and when you hit it its only yours
i want


joy joy joy please can you feel
multiple hallelujah

if i wasnt pannin in the stream with my midas fart
i would be in the sweat lodge with the jade emerald
lapiz lazuli

put em on me

hush up now i feel
the healings

i want













valentines day attire,

XVXXLLIIIIIJIJ


age is a comedy
life is a tragedy

both are good for a laugh
if you sit down mid-scene

keep an eye out for stools, ottomans
lazy boys and love seats

plop it on down and quit that crying

they that bothered you is likely to leave


i got emotional with an old man one day
i thought that i could confide, i


"...my first time having sex....."

"been round the block
have ya?

lost ya v-card and cried
like a bitch"


"today...im just thinking about


....the tree of life"


"hid what in ya sock what the fuck

sick fuck"

every time i think about that
i feel like a youth


a girl i know,
she was like this,

"old as sin in '98
spring chicken in '07"

baby grows younger every birthday
gets older on the holidays and leap years
and that is why i am fond of her


XXIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIO

beulah day beulah day
red black hair
beulah day beulah day
she almost there

red brown eyes
and river all piss
river all muck and
the river all muck

mom and dads dead
beulah drink presidents' punch

sleeping on the shore
suns sinking into dust

riding home alone
beulah birthday sucked


XXXWJZZHJJIII
