"she has got the world to give  
and he is on his own
together they can show each other
 what they cannot see alone"


~ Tom Snow & Patti Dahlstrom ~
(paraphrased)







if wishes were horses, my princess would come and enjoy all of my fractured metaphors and mixed fairy tales... just press puree and head out to play, the soup will be ready some other day... say hay, hay, hey...

  so what is going on today?...

stopped at the library to drop two books into the night slot... the third one due today is still being read, so a few days late it shall be... then I stopped at the post office nearest work and found they had no boxes available and had no waiting list so I've got to go back in on the 9th and 10th and 11th of each month and see if any are available... then I went to the old PO box, right on time too since it was being closed and given away in a few days... paid the bill for another six months... then I went to the bank and got some counter checks and next stop, open the mail and pay some bills... but I forget envelops and stamps, so maybe not... I stopped at the supermarket for food for the place I'm staying at this week and then, finally, here to ook, eat, download mail, and ramble on... Garth not included...

and the trick is now trying to stay awake until the veggie lasagna is done so I can turn off the oven, have a piece, and cut up individual portions... somebody call and keep me awake... wishes, huh? J

. o O ( zzz... erp... zzz... ssst... zzz... sniff, sniff ) O o .

and a couple of hours later, I am stuffed with veggie lasagna and chocolate milk like a balloon at the point of eruption (and I turned the oven off, too)... a little extra cheeses and spices and Stouffer's veggie lasagna is palatable... I probably (probably?) should have stopped with one helping... glub...

living on the road
writing about life
poet, prophet, pauper
sitting on a knife

the pain of feeling lonely
the loss of passing years
the anger of being only
a victim of my fears

but I am free
going my own way
but am I free?
who's to say?

living on the road
singing about love
singer, savior, stupid
falling from above

the anguish of the lonely
the dark of empty years
the sorrow of being only
a victim of my tears

but I am free
going my own way
but am I free?
who's to say?

I roll into town
see them lining up
letting their hair down
when I strut my stuff
blinded by their cheers
lost in the song and the show
I don't see them lining up
to come along... when I go

living on the road
hanging on a star
dreamer, dimpled devil
changing in the car

the power of the lonely
the presense of the years
the folly of being only
a victim of the cheers

but I am free
going my own way
but am I free?
who's to say?

maybe you would trade places
maybe that's your dream
well people let me tell you
it is not all it seems
maybe I will find someone
stop and settle down
someone who might follow me
when I leave this town

living on the road
sharing dreams with you
we are much the same
who'd believe it's true

the feeling of the lonely
the truth comes out this year
we are all wanting only
a friend who's always there

and I am free
going my own way
but who is free?
who's to say

and I am free
going my own way
but who is free?
  who's to say...

something from the aging rock star perspective, something I can relate to... though my show is generally put on for an audience of one, the story is the same... sharing the creativity, looking for something more... each one wishing for the other's life, but still not walking through the door... remember?...
