There is a very long story...
…on where I have been since last I saturated this space - but for now - in short - I will tell you that as of the last week of August I’ve been living back in St. Louis where I intend to remain through the course of winter. At least.
More then to follow.

“Magic Mountain”
At magic mountain
Nobody sings today
Nobody speaks today
Close my eyes
And hope to see
Weeks go by like a day
In a lowland
I live up on magic mountain
No one leaves magic mountain
At magic mountain
Nothing changes
Everything stays the same
Cross my heart
And hope to live
All the time
With a little fever
I stay here on magic mountain
No one leaves magic…
My heart hears you sing
My heart hears you speak
But I’ll never make it in the flatlands
I must stay on magic mountain

“New Way Home”
Have you found your way around the down and out?
I know it must seem long, so long
I’m still trying to keep this time from running out
Head down, always moving on and on and on
I never heard this warning, another early morning
Takes me, wakes me into
If you could manage me, I’ll try to manage you
But lately it’s all I ever do
I felt like this on my way home, I’m not scared
I pass the boats and the Kingdome, I’m not scared
I’ll never tell you the secrets I’m holding
I know these things must bore you but I can’t find another way
I’ll never tell you the secrets I’m holding
I love this leash that holds me, when I try to run away
I’m not scared, I felt like this on my way home
I’m not scared, I pass the boats and the Kingdome

“Carlos (Don’t Let It Go To Your Head)”
Into the room
Keep it burning through
Hear what they said?
Don’t talk about this…
If you know how to sing it alone.
Carlos works in a place that no one has gone
It’s howlin’ out tonight
And he’s feeling’ alright
On the street
I was talking to you
And you found something better to do
What’s the upside of this place?
And when you’re with yourself, oh don’t let it go to your head
Don’t talk
Don’t move
They’ll leave
You soon
If you’re fine, you can wait
Don’t mention that you’re sick of this place
Say you’re not sold, you’re sick of it all
Just as long as it takes
What’s the upside of this place?
And when you’re with yourself, oh don’t let it go to your head
When you’re with yourself, oh don’t let it go to your head.

"One’s condition on marijuana is always existential. One can feel the importance of each moment and how it is changing one. One feels one’s being, one becomes aware of the enormous apparatus of nothingness — the hum of a hi-fi set, the emptiness of a pointless interruption, one becomes aware of the war between each of us, how the nothingness in each of us seeks to attack the being of others, how our being in turn is attacked by the nothingness in others."
