Monk of Nothing

I have nothing in my head this day

Nothing to think, nothing to say

But nothing ain’t so bad if you look at it right

Nothing for nothing is what we used to say, in those long hot sweaty psychedelic summer days back so many roads away

Simplicity in practice 

Nothing for nothing

Just spirit and soul and ten thousand like minded freaks and miscreants, pupils black and large with wide eyes full of wonder, milling around stadium parking lots and hidden alleys, waiting

Waiting for night fall, waiting for the boys, waiting for Jerry

Nothing for nothing

Hugs, smiles, dreadlocks, acrid thick smoke

Hippies with mushrooms and tie dyes and lot beer and the smell of food filling the open air

If I had nothing, you had nothing, but together… we had the world on a string

Dancing like cats on a hot tin roof, living a rhapsody in blue, existing for now 

The world needs more nothing for nothing, more dancing, more rhapsody, more love; the rat race grows tired
