Planet Claire

In music are the centripetal and centrifugal forces. The universe needed only to hear a divine harmony that every star might fall into its proper place and assume a true sphericity. - Thoreau

i want to groove on venus

i want to groove with a dirty cleanness

i want to groove on mars

i want to groove on the highway atop tin can cars

i want to grove with unwrapped candy bars

i want to grove on saturn

i want to orbit in a different pattern

i want to groove with nothing to prove

i want to groove and be on the move

i want to groove and improve

i want to groove as to behoove

i want to frug to remove

i want to groove on neptune

i want to groove to my own tune on the moon

i want to travel with no airfare

i want to groove to a prayer

i want to groove with zero gravity hair

i want to groove with a pomegranate, a passion fruit and a pear

i want to dance on planet claire

maybe i'll take the stairs

someone please get me there

take care and please beware

and oh, i almost forgot

be sure to bring some oxygen, a sweater and a change of underwear

Author's Note

"A thrumming of piano-strings beyond the gardens and through the elms. At length the melody steals into my being. I know not when it began to occupy me. By some fortunate coincidence of thought or circumstance I am attuned to the universe, I am fitted to hear, my being moves in a sphere of melody, my fancy and imagination are excited to an inconceivable degree. This is no longer the dull earth on which I stood." - Thoreau
