Saturday

aka The Shabbat Day*

My original blog for today which was lost after 5 hours of writing and editing, is for the time being, lost on some iCloud, Googly Server, or some such e-nonsense. In short - it HAS GAWN. Vanished, into a puff of smoke, with a stroke of a key. Split-second mistake. Never mind, eh?

So in its place, the following will have to suffice. It is to be read to the tune of the following track by Ice Cube, not the words, just the rhythm and the "gentleness" tone (timbre) its melody.

If there are other musical references, literary or otherwise, Fear not! Miss Mo will be name-checking as she goes along. Miss Mo is NO CHRISTIAN WARD - the Swear-Name - currently being circulated among my poetry gang. Prize-givers, academics and performers alike are rubbing their hands with glee as I type. In Poetry Current Affairs, CHRISTIAN WARD = PLAGIARISM. Ah-ha. Did he not learn a thing? OK, enough already!

Today today is a rest day
I lost the words, to my blog day
Today today is a rest day
I didn't have to use my A-K
Today today is my REST DAY
Can't be-arsed-to retrieve my WORDS day

Today today is a Zen day
I'm gonna go my OWN WAY
Today today is Breath Day
I'm gonna feed this OM day

Today today is Mo day
Forever to my Om day

[G F HANDEL]

Aaaleluyah
Allelujah
Allelujah
Hallelujah
Halle-loooooo-oo-jah

A to the mutherfuckin' cake-hole-JAH, A-to-the-mutherfuckin' KAY





Amen



Yeu-Ing Mo
