Have you heard that band. The one in the city. New york. On the big island of Manhatten. A village priestess laid ’em on me last night. LOUD Mother Nature kind of musings. Meant to keep the good people in the happy hop town keen on kind and affiable shape. A prelude to the gatefold manifestation that is the rest of America.
Like a ‘How To’. Get out on the morning and do what your intentions say you are up to. No slippery backdoor. No J stride graveyard stints. Just the cross and the quarter. Amongst friends. Among acquaintances and love intetests.
Yeah big and balsy. Amped up on hop and fine food. Given to the glass shared of minute aspect diners. The anointed in the Cherries Jubilee. A Circus of August air breathers in the glad compromise of lovers and their features. The whosits and dunits. Born class of Ikabod.
Rucksack gin and boggled luck of the fuddyduster. There are passes through the mountains in the heights. Throwing down in the glazed sea of juxtaposition. With each cut against the blade of the tourniquet. Stop it. Staunch it. And rite the bones of the masses. The clear auspice. The penchant moli bird. A grots and barley charm.

Track by track. The pots must be allowed to occasionally top out. A squelching, squeeling, run of the riffs. Instrument after instrument join the figure of the band. The mounting loop and the pull from the nearby box of sand. Kind gardener making out Praise to the seasonal and the sustained.
Imagine just beating the tone out on the pots. For wine, rainwater, grains, the corn. Hot potted clay. What maybe can become? Down beneath the soil. Riverside. Slow settled dawn. Where the roses grow wild with the mystery. Secretly, much more quietly. Now not so loud. Ironic, oxymoronic, metaphorically speaking on it impartially and with similes for tidings.
Whose looks limit langour. What range of effects does the baying of the hounds camp for. What turn again ghost stands aback. By standard; gaiting, and gauging the steps, it takes to blow with the big speaks. Tweet, tweet. Flowing out ribund, and garroulus. You all seeking crowd easing sympathies with the sweaty ball. Summer dressed lax in cover.
Sounding off to the light of stars. Dewey break of dawn. Arrival of song with the color and the light. The comings and goings of the burden of daily labor. Throughout the field and the generations. Into the vert and the tree cover of timber. The square page. Abdegnation of rodents surprisingly giving good tell. The scritch scratch sticks of the call to pause. And in moments sure a final rising clarion call. Sounding, outlasting and tempered with care.
