GENIUS CHILD by Langston Hughes

This is a song for the genius child.
Sing it softly, for the song is wild.
Sing it softly as ever you can ---
Lest the song get out of hand.
Nobody loves a genius child.

Can you love an eagle,
Tame or wild?
Wild or tame,
Can you love a monster
Of frightening name?
Nobody loves a genius child.

Kill him - and let his soul run wild

I Met The Walrus

In 1969, a 14-year-old Beatle fanatic named Jerry Levitan snuck into John Lennon's hotel room in Toronto and convinced him to do an interview. 38 years later, Levitan, director Josh Raskin and illustrators James Braithwaite and Alex Kurina have collaborated to create an animated short film using the original interview recording as the soundtrack.

For I Have Sinned

That touch ---(I can't escape)
And eyes ---(that drill my soul with meaning)






Oh, I know I can't escape you.

Oompa Loompa doompety doo
I've got a perfect puzzle for you
Oompa Loompa doompety dee
If you are wise you'll listen to me

What do you get when you guzzle down sweets
Eating as much as an elephant eats
What are you at, getting terribly fat
What do you think will come of that
I don't like the look of it

Oompa Loompa doompety da
If you're not greedy, you will go far
You will live in happiness too
Like the Oompa Loompa doompety do
Doompety do

Oompa Loompa doompety doo
I've got another puzzle for you
Oompa Loompa doompedah dee
If you are wise you'll listen to me

Gum chewing's fine when it's once in a while
It stops you from smoking and brightens your smile
But it's repulsive, revolting and wrong
Chewing and chewing all day long
The way that a cow does

Oompa Loompa doompety da
Given good manners you will go far
You will live in happiness too
Like the Oompa Loompa doompety do

Oompa Loompa doompety doo
I've got another puzzle for you
Oompa Loompa doompety dee
If you are wise you'll listen to me

Who do you blame when your kid is a brat
Pampered and spoiled like a siamese cat
Blaming the kids is a lie and a shame
You know exactly who's to blame
The mother and the father

Oompa Loompa doompety da
If you're not spoiled then you will go far
You will live in happiness too
Like the Oompa Loompa doompety do

Oompa Loompa doompety doo
I've got another puzzle for you
Oompa Loompa doompedah dee
If you are wise you'll listen to me

What do you get from a glut of TV
A pain in the neck and an IQ of three
Why don't you try simply reading a book
Or could you just not bear to look
You'll get no
You'll get no
You'll get no
You'll get no
You'll get no commercials

Oompa Loompa doompety da
If you like reading you will go far
You will live in happiness too
Like the - Oompa -
Oompa Loompa doompety do

Hospital

And the life is just pouring out of him. Literally. It’s staining the walls and there’s a puddle on the floor and all he can do is laugh, the sick bastard. I know that the ladies in the white suits are going to rush through that door in about thirty seconds, but for the next twenty nine he just sits there and laughs and I think he’s crying but it’s not from the pain.

It’s from the exhilaration.




And that’s when I first thought I wanted a taste of that freedom.

Haikus are easy
But sometimes they don't make sense
Refrigerator

ThoughtDuJour

you seem to think you're immune to the frost
please take your medicine
please take your blanket
remember to smile?

remember to avoid the cracks in the pavement,
dont fall into those.
you're too beautiful to hold back.
too precious to let go.
so addicting.

just leave.

JustOneOfThoseDays

take a leaf and tear it in half
until there's nothing but shreds
feel the power in your fingers
wait for the feeling to spread

take a soul and cut a line
down the middle with a knife
feel the pressure float away
that's how you take a life

relax a little find a photo
decide it isn't worth shit
light a fire throw it in
and take another hit

and another and another
until you can't stand no more
take a dive and wait to be found
pale, washed up on shore
