If Feet Don't Move You, The Mind Will Blow You Away

 _______________________________________________________________________________________________


THERE’S A DISCOURAGING WIND 
THAT BLOWS AROUND 
THIS CORNER
MAKES WALKING PRETTY HARD 
—GIVES YOU A RUNNING NOSE—

THE ONLY WAY 
IT KNOWS 
HOW TO BLOW
 THOSE LITTLE 
TINY SCRAPS OF PAPER
       
—BETTING SLIPS THAT NEVER WIN—
       ADD SOME POISON TO THE VAPOR 
OF 
THE DISCOURAGING WIND

It is my executive privilege
to have known
 Jack McCarthy
since he was
my 7th grade classmate
who played guitar
on his porch
in Whitestone
 
The first time
I saw Jack
on that porch,
this card-carrying member 
of the
 Whitestone Whimsy Society 
danced/farted/applauded
until 
the music ended
 
Then
Mister McCarthy
mentioned the name
MUDDY WATERS
 
That was where 
I first heard
but have repeated it
1000 times
on this blog
because he was
 
 
It is
my executive honor
to be the first person
to have received these lyrics
and the recording
of this song

😎😎😎
