YESTERDAY — our IRL FRIEND KAT — LOVED CLIPPING SO MUCH SHE DID SOME RE(GOOGLE) search — AND FOUND OUR NEW favorite TINY DESK CONCERT — PLEASE READ THE FIRST COMMENT

PART 5. Drew Valdez of MEAT SANDWICH: transfiguration,  windmill, fetid

we’ve been told
          on good authority
THE WORLD’S ON FIRE
                           and
before, we say something banal
dismissive, ignorable, like
                                   IT’s ALWAYS
                                   oN  FIRE

let’s tell a Teacher in passing
said he’d been working with
a wishing jewel, for many a long
many ah ah ah long-long-long

               YEARS

and rather than ask, WHAT?
,we took it into ourselves, PLUNGED
it into the FETID compost, reached in
and WINDMILL, like stirred, the ANCIENT
spiritual practice, commonly called SHIT
STIRRING, and emerged with not a diamond


a ROCK, DO ITV WITH ME KNOW
hold this stone, tight. FEEL it’s rough smooth
topography, who does it serve, what does it
do? what forces created it? YOU DID
and it serves you; NOW, look around and

THINK, why did I wish this? Why are these things
happening to me right now? RIGHT HERE
what are these stories? Why am I telling them?

repeat at will. NOT to escape, deny, push away 

RESPONSIBILITY

TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL OF IT

WHY would I wish these swans rising, making an
UNBELIEVABLE racket, GREAT WINGS BEATING?

WHY WOULD I WISH FOR 
THESE HEALTH CHALLENGES? SURROUNDED
BY MURDERERS, THUGS, CONFIDENCE TRICKSTERS
??? WHAT AM I AFRAID OF LOSING?

LOOK how powerful this WISHING STONE
Much better than 3, every moment an ORACULAR
RISING, a DIVINATORY FALLING, a STREAM of
CONSCIOUSNESS WITHOUT EDITS, EDGES

continuous.

THE RULES OF THE SoC HOP — SEE LAST 2 — as we chose to do it — is no editing — other than for spelling and in my case — proper capitalization according to my own internal logic — and a lite posting edit — today’s — went in tiring directions — so I’m bowing out for now — see y’all tomorrow

Much love,

Con/Jur/d, 6/3/2025
