lyrics

Prelude

The music of John Coltrane represents the highest
vision & vibration
mode & modulation
soaring sonic syncopation
righteous reverberating realization reached
by the two-legged travelers of this
burning heart of rock screaming blue through the silent void
of space.

The coal train that wakes us in the night, represents the lowest.

Coltrane: the greatest possible good.
The coal train: The greatest ill. The greatest greed.
The greatest deep dark well of our woeful willingness to lie down
and die.

And somewhere between Coltrane & coal train
we stand reaching toward one world or the other.
Reaching toward the future we are choosing
right now. … And now. … And now. …
