What the Frack?

high pressure enemas
millions of gallons
crude solution fracking-fluid
25 to 75 percent resurfaces waste-water deluge

clastic fractures giving rise to
subterranean chemical carcinogens
fissile shale releases methane into
underground drinking water supply

Pavillion, Wyoming 2010,

EPA investigation finds 39
rural ground water wells
fresh drinking water contaminated

benzene and methane
fracking fluid additive
2-butoexythanol phosphate

Slave Labor

My chains are paper thin, and they're welded with me
Sealed inside a legal trap, so tight blood don't leak
A contract with a devil, for a life of disdain
See me in the limelight, an indentured slave
I blame myself.
God! Help me pour this gas on me!
I need to drown in flames to be free!
Help me pour this gas on me!
Choke another product for the mass to consume
The flocks of mindless sheep that have corporately groomed
I endrance through apathy, like drones in the hive
A slave on the prayer wheel in conformed disguise
I blame myself
God! Help me pour this gas on me!
I need to drown in flames to be free!
Help me pour this gas on me!
I sold my soul, I sold my soul ...
God! Help me pour this gas on me!
I need to drown in flames to be free!
Help me pour this gas on me!

On the Way.

(- what follows is a true story. more a story than a poem. yet, one I have so wanted for so long to tell... -)

On the way
Southbound far into Texas.
It's a long stretch of asphalt,
When the night is late, and so dark
Out on highway 277, moving
From Sonora to Del Rio... and points further south.
Not another soul about,
Just me, my old truck, and the stars.
It's quiet
- and lonely -
Headed down old Mexico way...
Pass a car sitting on the side
- broke down I'm sure -
A coyote with fear and hunger in its eyes
Runs across the road, right in front of me.
Then, a mile or so up, I see him, walking,
Gas can in hand.
I stop, open the door and holler:

Cover It With Gas And Set It On Fire

[studio version appears on the "skycruiser" ep]
Hes a hobble with a wobble at the gang raid [? ? ]
Cover it with gas and set it on fire
Hes a hobble with a wobble at the gang raid [? ? ]
Cover it with gas and set it on fire
Its an earth chock, war plot, peppermint lasso [? ? ] jimmy
Cover it with gas and set it on fire
Its an earth chock, war plot, peppermint lasso [? ? ]
Cover it with gas and set it on fire
Cover it with gas and set it on fire [3x]

Other Peoples Lives

This is how it seems to be
Other peoples lives seem more interesting cuz they aint mine
Well Im fed up and I need to go
Out of existance or just down the road forever..
Later that night on the side of the road
Im outta gas and I should have known better
Well a guy shows up hes 25 years old
Always stealing kisses, such a mamas boy
He said, and thats what he said
Hes been in the army and he did some speed
He went down to thailand, and he did the did the deed
Oh yeah, he did it for the boys
A cop shows up, way damn late
I was excited, but usually I hate to see them
Other peoples lives
Seem more interesting
Cuz they aint mine
Other peoples lives
Seem more innocent
Cuz they aint mine

Ooh-la-la Oompa-Loompa

Oompa, Loompa, doom-pa-dee-da
If you're not greedy, you will go far
You will live in happiness too
Like the Oompa Loompa doom-pa-dee-do

Oompa, Loompa, doom-pa-dee-do
I have another puzzle for you
Oompa, Loompa, doom-pa-da-dee
If you are wise, gas up before your tank reaches “E”
(Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory)

Paris to the rescue of an injured Oompa-Loompa,
Paris stayed at the Oompa-Loompa’s side until medics arrived,
The Ambulance came, and it did not run out gas,
To much her chagrin, Paris Hilton, did run out gas in her Bentley,
She had hoped for the best she continued to drive, -on vapors.
On a $300,000 Bentley there must be an idiot light to show you have a low tank,
Behold the paparazzi,
-her knight in shining armor,

God And The Gas Pumps...........[religion; creation; short]

Now I'll bet God never pumped gas into a car, nor did He check the oil.
It's hard to believe He ever worked at any gas station doing manual toil.
And yet I've thought of a link that binds gas pumps and the Man Above.
The same Guy who sent the flood to Noah. Noah's the one who sent out a dove.

It matters not whether you believe the Earth is billions of years or only thousands of years old.
In church, as a boy, I learned God made all things. That's what I was told.
He was all-powerful according to the minister. He didn't need long to make stuff.
He could have put pools of oil underground and waited patiently, sitting on His duff, .......(take any dictionary definition of "duff" you please) ...to see how long it would take for parrots, or wolves, or men to pump it out.
Or he could have let Nature form petroleum from decayed fragile grasses and trees most stout.

So remember...., your electricity at home may come from wind or solar power or coal.....,
but most of your cars run with gas created SOME HOW by God, the Guy who gave YOU a soul.

Gas

my grandmother had a serious gas
problem.
we only saw her on Sunday.
she'd sit down to dinner
and she'd have gas.
she was very heavy,
80 years old.
wore this large glass brooch,
that's what you noticed most
in addition to the gas.
she'd let it go just as food was being served.
she'd let it go in bursts
spaced about a minute apart.
she'd let it go
4 or 5 times
as we reached for the potatoes
poured the gravy
cut into the meat.

nobody ever said anything,
