Initial STATEMENT

This book is titled Lyric & Other. Please allow these words to sink in. When I was a young boy, I thought long and hard about what I could possibly do to make the world a better place.
Ten,.. twenty years went by. I hadn’t the foggiest notion. The world I lived in moved at such blinding speed
it was very difficult to make heads or tails outta it.

I took stupid jobs. I slept outdoors. I feel in love with the hard luck cases. I frequented cities with glorious libraries.
I made friends with truly extraordinary creatures. I was protected the entire time by angels who would clear my path.
After dying a handful of times and discovering the organic path of light I gave up my fears and put my well being into the
hands of my creator who is an artful and loving spirit.

I found I was in possession of the quite heavenly gift of communication. You can imagine my shock, of course, a wild child from
wasteland Amerika… a communicator? There it was. The numbers didn’t lie. Nights of comfort were afforded me in the luxury
of stunning girls and women who fell for me to such an extent that my life was spared from the US Penal system and the
county morgue.

I figured I had to do something. Whether or not this is Nobel quality now or in the near far distant future it remains
something I did for everyone who ever believed in me, gave me shelter, gave me love, food, a chance…
If there distinct devices, within this body of work, which cause your hair to stand on edge just remember the World is
sometimes like that. If something makes you happy share it with someone and let them feel your joy.
 
First and foremost these are emotions crafted as literature
lest we forget…
The spelling of English words is not fixed and invariable, nor does it depend on any other authority than
general agreement. @ the present day there is practically unanimous agreement as to the spelling of most
words….@ any given moment, BAM!, a relatively small # of words may be spelled in more than 1 way.
Gradually, as a rule, 1 of the$e form$ come$ to be generally preferred, & the less ¢ustomary form
comes to look obsolete & is dis¢arded.
