‘ inspired by true events ‘
Sub planted in the minds of children
this bittersweet mention of majik
they stand in line at recess
taking numbers to serve her mystic majesty
is it tragic
She call herself a profit yes
behind the walls of sleep
on her knees , not to confess
she worships things that creep
Candles burning , are figures of men
a crow’s feather in her hand
fire bright , it’s midnight
raising her hands towards the moon
she calls upon the stars by name
a mention of union in solidarity
she whispers these words again
to the Guardians of the watchtowers of the East
Hail
the powers of air and invention
remember
…………….
open the doors of truth
Legion , I come to you
…..I have one lifelong friend , we met in kindergarten of all places , and remain friends to this day . Through the years , we would party and remember things from our past and bring them up for a laugh , we called them ‘reminders’ . We still do it even nearly 60 years later . One evening, while in the throes of our ritual of getting hammered on beer or whatever was around at the time , didn’t matter what it was , you get the idea . We start talking about our 3rd grade teacher , and what went on in her classroom during free time . We were still young so we had clear memories of the time we spent there ,although it came to us slowly . The teachers name was Mrs Davino , what do we know about Davino , well , it started with Billy Small stuck to a wall after some kids lifted him out of a chair chanting’ your light as a feather ‘ . We’ve all played this game as kids i’m sure , a lot of you probably .As we talked and unraveled this story of our childhoods in this classroom and realized the teacher was ,I don’t know , teaching us magic tricks that were all together much too real . We remembered, Robert Thompson lying on his back in the little chairs , his head in the seat of one , and his feet in the seat of the other , 2 kids on either side of him , lifted him slowly into he air above their heads using only 2 fingers of each hand , where he remained when they lowered their hands . These two occurrences stood out clearly but we did remember more that night , then even more over the years . I get how this sounds , being in our late 20’s , stoned and drinking and remembering this at the same time , we had forgotten up until then , by design I’m sure , I mean teacher wouldn’t want us kids going home and telling anyone about it , right . Moving on , Chas Moreno and I still talk on the phone often enough, one of us will do a reminder …. Remember Billy stuck to the wall and Robert floating in Davino’s class . Maybe we just made it up or are remembering wrong , , here’s the rub , I know now , that magic is and will always be as real the You , the Me , the Twins , and the Three . Magic existed before the cosmos was even thought of , how do I know , … I was the one who brought it here , …after creation
a god am I

I remember one of our teachers doing games like that with us too. You're like a Howard Stern. I never know what you're going to write next, and I can't get enough.
