‘I read it, damn it’..Sitting there in someone else’s cheesy, overdone office. This guy wanted me to admit out loud the undeniable fact that..Mick Jagger may be a genius..Jeee-sus F______ Christ allll F______Mighty. (I thought a quiet apology to the Son of God’) ‘Okay’ I said..uttering the one word sans rancor..(may be now can we drop it?..’on to other things he said’, dramatically..dancing across his office to his secretary who did not have a clue..she did the office machines .she only got the boss..even in conversation..when some smelly paparazzi could not pick it up years or blocks down the road. In other words when no person or bug could be around. She had enough on her plate.
‘Look man’, I said..sans rancor..whatever the ‘great man’ did for the movement I do not want a clog in my personal movements behind stress’. Simple is great. Foundation is what. It is a simple formula. ‘When an idiot wants to argue..as I have been told..do not do it..they will drag you to their level and win the argument..they are better at what they do..So you have place to go..a plateau where’…’All right!’ he said, interrupting me. ‘Do not do one of your famous monologues’. ‘Can I do an infamous monologue?’..I asked, just to piss him off. He left…then returned apparently remembering we were in his cheesy, modern office, rather than mine. (mine was not ‘overdone’)
‘Look John’, I said..handing him a fatty..’we have to think this through’..he eyed the joint and said..’right’..after appropriate and felt laughter..we watered the old mental garden and started looking for an artistic inspiration we could make next months rent from..John was among my oldest friends..a good man. We had been down roads together..the cosmic and the physical. We had planned and traveled on dangerous roads. We had shared unspoken pain. I put my acoustic guitar in the case..got my harp holder and went out to the boardwalk..:-)to look at folks and think. Each person a universe..one answer to all questions..each question once..
I walked breathing the ocean..the air..looked to the stormy clouds over the horizon..3 o’clock in the afternoon and life is..love is..it just comes back to one thing..even wounded..for I have been wounded..even in pain remembered..even in love lost..for I have endured these things!..still..I learn..every day..from each person. People are wonderful. They are born wonderful..with the knowledge of certain peace..it is a strong person who can endure the unknowing invasions of society..the control freaks..the greedy in fear..the greedy in evil..money could not corrupt if folks know themselves..for some..discipline is harder to attain..others overdo..I just want a world where the ‘Golden Rule’ is the first rule..without control..without jealousy..with love..
Peace T@cftd
