MYSTERIES OF THE GODS (with William Shatner)

Filiberto Caponi alien photographs 1993





The beauty and Jones Spaceman



There really was a weirdo and a beauty on this planet
for sure they never existed in the same timeline

Now Jones Spaceman
was not the weirdoist
especially for a spacer guy
but down on earth
he was always in orbit

Direct collision in a parking lot
shiny and orange
and a billion years older
than anyone on the planet
he fell in love
with the most beautiful
thing on earth
next to free oxygen

He suspects despite the beauties soft denials
she was on a mission
because nothing on earth
seemed worthwhile erstwhile
Beauty was hoping to find some meaning
from the eponymous named
and weirdly attractive
Jones Spaceman

No episode of anything on TV
would ever have the beauty
meet the weirdo live
let alone edited
its something from another
world for sure where
no one cares about
anything reality based

For a very short time
 the beauty
disguised a false fact
that the weirdo
would be a DNA match
to some important relationship
despite the impossible time lag

The weirdo was not shy to explain
he was a billion years old
and married for 750 million years
and the beauty always knew the facts
 she had a boyfriend of a few earth
years and they were deeply in love
so there was no way
a simple collision in a parking lot
was going north in anyway
inevitably like entropicisity
they both knew
winter was hard comming
and there would be no
true love

Time and space had other ideas
and between this unlikely pair
just for kicks and giggles
they set up a connection
and it was in the end cruel
but one always must appreciate
that accidents happen
and in human terms
this was largely a misunderstanding
of applied magic

As some sci fi writer said
and for sure it was them all
a technology well developed
would appear to be magic
to the ignorant

There is no clear agreement on
who ripped off the hospital gown
first
Was it one party or did the two
fall off the edge of reality
into a black hole
of xgames feelings that had no
chance of assembly due to the
greasy greasy pole
or relativity

The weirdo says in his defence
he told the beauty right from the start
he was weird
but he was reluctant to describe the connection
an instrument he imagined most like the spice transport
of Frank Hebert

In the end it was the failure to troubleshoot
successfully
a magical advaned civilisation connection
that did the werido in.
Range was not important in the later stages
but still he needed a faceplant with predictable
intervals
When his fix was denied
it led to to quiet rage
and the inevitable broken connection

The fix was the thing
it was wonderful and a magical 
exoplanet fling
no one I am sure except for the weirdo
has ever felt anything
so wonderful and pure
innocent and guilty
mind numbing
and conscious expanding
spiritual for the non believer
and in the end
could only be described
as magical

The weirdo remains convinced
it was all just some king of advanced
tech experiment
as for the beauty
the weirdo was
something best rendered
unconscious in the big scheme
of things
and so it goes
and so it goes
and so it goes

Ricky Gervais reads the Bible


The Boys in the Band

The Tufted Fabric circa 1854 at the time of the release
of their debut album 'The Circus of Phenomenology.'



Sometimes sumptin has to be less to accomplish more

B

ut I am all kinds of serious this Superbowl Sunday. The game against Carolina is a Roach test of sensibilities if not intelligence. You have black vs white, hip hop rap alot against country, and I am not talking about the supposed rift between PFK and Patches in the room. I am not talking about the first non dog fighting "black quarterback" Cam Newton. I have always wondered what would have happened if we had drafted OJ. Obviously the shaved ape would be long dismembered and a bloody hockey glove found somewhere. But it would be small and when they did the Cinderella test, it would only fit DDD.


What I am talking about is the lizard brain ability to live in a constant state of disbelief. This is what makes the fans rise when a team with no hope goes on a march. Its like we all expect the Black Knight in Monty python to recover from his flesh wounds in time for the big joust, and win the rose and live happily ever after with the 19 year old princess though he be well over fifty.

I am talking about the trouble with Kansas here. For which our tank is a real life metaphor. We know tanking is our only hope, yet we want to win so bad we will commit slow suicide in lou of instant gratification beating down the downtrodden who share our foxhole. Bob Dylan expressed the sentiment this way " those who want to pull you down into the hole they are already in"

Everybody knows where the foot came from. The Anglos with all their asshattery decided it was a system of measurement. The French with their love of a good idea went all metric. How can EMty be French, his last good idea was to stop saying his players where the worst at something in the world, but yet we know he still thinks that way. If only he could skate shoot and score he would be able to explain the incomprenible mess that is his brain on ice.

Back to foot prints which are used to identify babies, I do not know who choose thats not a finger paint on the document but sigh, I cant explain everything and most people do not care why. The big footprint is the one you leave on the planet. Giants of there times have stomped the land, crushing or impressing there peers in titanic accomplishments. Yet in his most poetic moment they are as George W Bush said in history all dead. If a person is a drop in the ocean making a small wave, how many will be a platform to surf? Hardly anyone. How many will create a Tsunami, only the most rare.

Looking back how many hockey players will transcend time. Gretzky for sure even though I hate him cause he thinks Harper had a good stick. The Rocket and that's about it.

Look back a thousand years who stands out. Shakespeare which for me is beyond reason. Another player who struts on the stage full of sound and fury but to me is only puking incomphrensive rap on my lap. Beethoven for sure, and Mozart, are you catching a theme here people, the real hero's are artist. Not generals, not hacks, not manipulators of fact. Sill talking foot prints. How many footprints do you need to smother a planet? Its not an infinite number its a fact of nature.

Global warming deniers and anti tank providers share the same mentality. Sometimes something has to be less to be more.

Aftermath by Siegfried Sassoon


Have you forgotten yet?...
For the world's events have rumbled on since those gagged days,
Like traffic checked while at the crossing of city-ways:
And the haunted gap in your mind has filled with thoughts that flow
Like clouds in the lit heaven of life; and you're a man reprieved to go,
Taking your peaceful share of Time, with joy to spare.
But the past is just the same--and War's a bloody game...
Have you forgotten yet?...
Look down, and swear by the slain of the War that you'll never forget.

Do you remember the dark months you held the sector at Mametz--
The nights you watched and wired and dug and piled sandbags on parapets?
Do you remember the rats; and the stench
Of corpses rotting in front of the front-line trench--
And dawn coming, dirty-white, and chill with a hopeless rain?
Do you ever stop and ask, 'Is it all going to happen again?'

Do you remember that hour of din before the attack--
And the anger, the blind compassion that seized and shook you then
As you peered at the doomed and haggard faces of your men?
Do you remember the stretcher-cases lurching back
With dying eyes and lolling heads--those ashen-grey
Masks of the lads who once were keen and kind and gay?

Have you forgotten yet?...
Look up, and swear by the green of the spring that you'll never forget.

Now Sleeps the Crimson Petal



 Now sleeps the crimson petal, now the white;
Nor waves the cypress in the palace walk;
Nor winks the gold fin in the porphyry font.
The firefly wakens; waken thou with me.

Now droops the milk-white peacock like a ghost,
And like a ghost she glimmers on to me.

Now lies the Earth all Danaë to the stars,
And all thy heart lies open unto me.

Now slides the silent meteor on, and leaves
A shining furrow, as thy thoughts in me.

Now folds the lily all her sweetness up,
And slips into the bosom of the lake.
So fold thyself, my dearest, thou, and slip
Into my bosom and be lost in me.


By Alfred, Lord Tennyson
