broke thru last night, clocking pages - finally
rdoc
MONDAY
the drum say hillary conceding tomorrow, say she
gon ask obama to help her w/campaign debt and
provide cover for black politicians that supported her and
catching heat from constiuents & primary challengers
i still fear the subversive
but so far so good
glad this campaign i over, its cheapened everybody
its cheapened bill and hillary and their legacy
its exposed a deep strain of racism and a gender divide
both of these aggravated by hillary clintons strategies
its turned the media into a personal destruction gotcha squad
and its tarnished the all the glowing expectation obama and
the democratic partys mission of taking america back
from bush and the rightwing ascendency but i guess that
to be expected, that was a tower as gloria lynne once
sang too tall to be strong - so much of how this plays out
both politically and historically, will depend on how
hillary plays out her endgame
and on how obama, mccain, media, powers that be
and the american people play it out
when we detemine just what kind
of america do we want to be
still trying to get some work done
didnt clock a page all day
try again tomorrow, rick
me and gloria lynne
all my love

SUNDAY
okay, lets see, still trying to get my groove on
ima try to give you a couple of quickies
but i cant think of nothing i feel worth talking about
i guess thats it, im kinda bummed out
took a couple of punches today
ol boy got the blues
you know what i watched last night, beowulf
i could have done without the 3 D bit
but the story, all that hero stuff, that
spoke to me on a level i got to work into rest
what drives a man or woman
to be a hero, to try to be a hero
to have to be a hero
what does heroism consist of in our time
or any time, what is the price that must
be paid
is obama a hero
is hillary
what about bush or osama, there are folk that consider them heros are there not
what is it about heroship thats unconditional, what is it about it that is not
i got to explore this more consciously
in rest for the weary
cause thats what i want to be
w/all my heart and soul i want to be a hero
i want to be a champion
my little volvo died today
bummer, i got no wheels
hard to be a hero
w/o wheels
best i clock some pages
like a hero should

SATURDAY
hello world, sorry i been out of the loop
want to thank omi and rya for commentary
yall made me feel warm and toasty
guess yall heard bo diddley died, another man done gone
done graduated - him and his little homemade box gueetars
i had a wonderful time in memphis
though family drained me, emotionally & financially
it was good being able to help
and i had a 2 for 1 reunion, i went to carver
before i transferred to hamilton in the 10th grade
and so there i am at the hamilton reunion when one
of my childhood friends from carver came up to me
turns out they were having their reunion right next door
in same hotel, i went over and saw all my childhood friends
i grew up with, it was an incredible moment for me
it was so full, my heart is full just thinking about it
i dont have much to say i guess, just trying to get back into my production groove
feel like anything i got to say about the clintons redundant at this point
yall know where i stand, guess we will just wait and see what the next clinton move will be
i keep thinking its got to have peaked and then she take it somewhere else unbelievable
im just going with the punches now and hope it doesnt kill the party/moment
what can she be thinking, doesnt she care about her legacy, i guess she just
so caught up in it she cant think clearly at this point, she and her supporters lost
guess i would have felt as caught up if obama had lost
but at least he would have lost clean, hillary been fighting dirty for awhile now
question now is will she support him for nov or will her support be subversive
cripple him now, run again in 2012 instead of 2016 and assume/hope democrats
will forgive and forget - well nobody forgave or forgot nader
at this point im betting subversive but im open/hoping to being proved wrong
part of her problem is that folk dont want bill back in the whitehouse
ima stay away from that vanity fair article, provocative though it is - whats deep
is that once i would have defended him (and hillary) now i believe every word
but you know im not really feeling politics today, magically speaking i
have three faces, three masks - the poet the sorceror and the hordesman
the hordesman is when i got to be really really ruthless, when its about
gathering the horde and flinging in into battle, nothing but strategics
the sorceror is this cosmic, magical personality, the conjuror - it
cares but it is distant and removed, it is also a strategic personality
the poet on the other hand is when sensitivity is called for, openess,
emotion and vulnerability -
you have to be very careful the right face/mask is assigned
to any given task,
today im feeling the poet in ascendance
today im feeling warm and toasty and family
feel like all of you family, every single one of you, today im
feeling love for everybody (incl clinton, mccain & even bush)
feeling cosmic today
feeling human today
its all family today
its all good
all my love
