a wrinkling twinkle
- Details
the older it gets the more rubbish is wrote
so its parents and friends push it off in a boat
and call on the waves to keep it afloat
til it dreams up a wrinkling twinkle
and it steadies itself at the helm
it steadies itself at the helm.
a wrinkling twinkle’s a nonchalant thought
that spins off a wheel to be subtly caught
by the tendrils of time that emerge from a rhyme
to winkle a twinkle right out of the wrinkle
the wrinkle back into the realm,
the wrinkle back into the realm.
but now that the twinkle is out on its own
the waves become wild and the dreamer is thrown
from the front and the back of the in and the out
til it calls out aloud to the tide
oh thank you so much for the ride
yes thank you so much for the ride.
then things are unusually still
becalmed on a watery hill
it looks for a seed of a nonchalant thought
to pop up ahead in a faraway port
where twinkles and wrinkles can never be bought
and it steadies itself at the helm
it steadies itself at the helm.
the nobody way

out of nowhere comes the light
why need to know from where or to
it comes from you
nowhere is you
the spark of your heart
travelling through
a zillion ways a zillion days
people are shouting
yays and nays
nobody knowing why darkness is blowing,
but flow-bodies, crow-bodies
silently working and they're
not in the news
or on screens to confuse
or to force you to choose
from the reds or the blues
in a game we all lose.
nobody has light
nobody is right
nobody is real
nobody can feel
no one has the cure
the way to endure
nobody is pure it’s okay
not knowing the nobody way

🎶 Introducing: The How Would I Know Show 🎶
- Details
Hello friends,
As some of you may know, my journey with music has been anything but ordinary. Back in the 70s, I released an album called ‘So What If I’m Standing in Apricot Jam?’ It was a collection of songs that reflected the unpredictable path I’d walked in life. Little did I know, that album would be rediscovered decades later, pulling me back into the world of music with a renewed purpose.
Today, I’m ready to introduce you to a new moment: The How Would I Know Show.
Not just a show but a journey, a storytelling experience through music, life, and the lessons gathered along the way.
So The How Would I Know Show is about more than music—it’s about connecting on a deeper level, about the power of love, bits of Eastern philosophy, and some simple truths that life has to offer.
I hope you can join me on this new adventure. I’ll be sharing stories from the road, the studio, and the veggie patch. Expect quirky tunes, heartfelt lyrics, and a few surprises along the way and who knows, maybe we’ll discover some hidden gems together.
Stay tuned, and I’ll see you with love and music,
Howard
