Wha or Nothin Rhymes with Else


You fought it with all you had.
You can tell everyone 
in a full page Sunday ad-

Your hands left raw, blistered and bleeding
from holding on
to what was already gone-
and won't be needing.

You held on,
empty handed-

Confess now...

Was it my pride
were we landed
 or 
our vow to 
die or ride

Regardless
It's what the script demanded 


Sittin with an empty cup.

You can say didn't quit
when nobody brings it up.

Shout about it or put it on the shelf-

You can say you toughed it out,
when the conversation is about something else.

It was dumb 
a waste of time 
even you can admit
this shit was not worth mentioning in rhyme 

Haunt them from below 
and above ground.
Flaunt all you want,
when there's no one around.

Cry all you like,
just don't make a sound.

Aquarius X

"Yesterday, I was the dream weaver,

 but now I am reborn

I was the Walrus, but now I am John."  -J L


{Draft 1}

This is the dawning of the Age 

of Nefarious...

The age of  Nefarious..

The age of Nefarious!


Ignore all that shit. 

Ignorance -

Let’s me fuck with it.

Whip it into shape like 

Devo.


With a problem

I forgot myself. 


Do you ever forget yourself 

I forgot myself.


The Buddha says there is no self. 

I forgot myself, I forgot there is no self.  

I am the Aquarius X.

Son of the Sun

Sun of the Moon.


I am Aquarius X. 

Air and Water.

I  am

Life. 

I am the Egg man they are the Egg men.


I am the Walrus.


I am the light and the shadow. 

love and anger

fear and faith

forgiveness and finger lickin' good


Singing  “Act your age, 

not your shoe size.

I know how to  undress me”


I am the divine light running around in a 

suit made of muscles and skin-

spiting and cussing

failing and growing

fucking and recycling 


I am pretending just like you.


I am the dawning of the Age of  Aquarius X.
