For my latest cancer fundraiser, one of the raffle items was a CD and a song written about the winner and even a big chance it will be recorded. My first thought was I want to win this. Together we could make it a strong song, that people would enjoy, and maybe learn from. It started to look good as my daughter bought 12 tickets and could've won it, but someone else bought 10 tickets, and did win it. Oh shit, that bit. ~ For rap I was told around 11-14 syllables Maybe 6-11 for regular songs A rapping medicine man told me 7 and if I want to get to heaven ~ I would consider spoken word No, he didn't say that heaven bit, the nerd The nerd, a medicine man, a great nephew No, he won't mind, he won't be blue ~ Yes, we are related through adoption his grandmother is my sister and has an option on what I do or don't do for money Just kidding, no money honey ~ What kind of song would this make Perfect for the song about a snake What kind of snake you ask a Gartner snake is a safe task ~ As you can tell, I am not doing well I thought write a poem and keep it short And then my brain is not working, oh hell It would help to write with someone, a cohort ~ I just might suggest this today as I go to pray for the water on this bright and sunny day okay, wishful thinking a plotter ~ Halloween passed me by I didn't even have one hi I attended a meeting at five and got home by seven Normally grands would jive and leave me a bit of heaven ~ There is that heaven again Time to end this then Do you think the song should be about Heaven, well maybe?

That Which Makes Us
That which makes us Art full In this month of transition heart full All our yesterdays ear full As summer gives way in August (I found myself and didn't love him) hear full Shadows form and dissipate eat full In this month of transition great full On mists of winds of change earn full As summer gives way in August (but I'm trying to love him, to love me) yearn full And life is full of poor players old full In this month of transition hold full And tyrants and repugnant degenerates ick full As summer gives way in August (but love is easier when it's not said in a mirror, when it's said to someone else, at the start of the day, at the end of the night, before during and after play) trick full But good wheat among the chaff ion full In this month of transition lion full Reaching out for safety or security or to feel connected man full As summer gives way in August (I realised too many hard truths. The ones I had buried. The ones I had "lost" on purpose, by order of my ego for self preservation and self contamination) human full Until we all fall one - tranquillo under breath (two three four) full In this month of transition lone full Until we all fall alone full As summer gives way in August (though now we are in November, and I remember and forgive and look at me different, the me in the mirror, the one I find hard so desperately hard to say face to face with partition between us, I love you. But we're in November now and we'll be in November again and maybe just maybe things will be... ) and full Until the fall stand full standalone full
