"LONELY AND HORNIER THAN A BRASS BAND" ::: © JTK.CA

"LONELY AND HORNIER THAN A BRASS BAND"
by JTK.CA
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm "hornier than a brass band" and "lonely,"
Sinking in a paradoxic quagmire of emotions.
Three billion women in the world,
And they all want to be "just friends" with me.

Adam was alone, God,
And so am I,
So don't let me down.

Which Eve is for me?

God,
It's up to you
And down to me.
Save me from myself,
If need be.

At least I know, God,
I'm no fool for loving you.

JTK.CA Jonathan Tad Ketchen ( http://NudistPoet.com )
just had a thought,
"Safe sex won't protect you from Swine Flu."
Suddenly, my celibacy bothers me a lot less.

"I'M A FISH IN PROTOPLASMIC THUNDERGEAR" ::: © JTK.CA

"I'M A FISH IN PROTOPLASMIC THUNDERGEAR"
by JTK.CA
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm lost in a sea of ectoplasmic bliss
Waiting for your kiss
Yet enjoying solitude

I'm a fish in protoplasmic thundergear
Hoping you can hear
My heart beat
To meet your will
As I breathe by gill
A watery sigh for you

Dance with words
Upon the stage of ballroom dreams
Block-shaped towers
And pyramid schemes

Red Green Blue
Coalesce to form colours
By the millions
Your face lights up my screen
I long for pixels--
Dots of desire--
Still not free in my solitude
An interlude
Until we meet
At the intersection of Hope and Expectation
In the city of Fear
In the county of Love
In the state of Denial
In the nation of Dreams

Where anything can happen

"HIGHWAY OF THE SOUL" ::: © JTK.CA

This is probably my most popular poem. It has caused the most jaws to drop.

"HIGHWAY OF THE SOUL"
by JTK.CA
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I can see the smile of apprehension
In your eyes,
Another disguise
To hide the miles of tension
On the highway of the soul.

The purple sea of infinity
Is drowning in our finite minds.
More masks
(Mutilations of forever)
Shorten the unshortenable;
Infinity minus 28 trillion
Still equals infinity,
But we adjust the mirrors of mathematics,
Forming optical illusions
Out of our delusions.

I can feel the smile of apprehension
In my eyes,
Another disguise
To hide the miles of tension
On the highway of the soul.

Tad's Note: One of my friends is a retired math teacher who was intrigued when I told him I write mathematical love poems. He was blown away by this one. "Holy Shit!" was his response. I said, "Thanks for the positive review, but I don't think I can quote you." Then again, I guess I just did quote him. The older I get, the more liberal I get. I think being Pro-Life is about the only conservatism I have left in me. Whoa, I've forgotten all of the trigonometry I learned in high school, except for the fact I'm going off on tangents.

Back to the poem, "HIGHWAY OF THE SOUL." It was inspired by a girl I met once at a College and Careers meeting at my church, in 1990 or '91. When I asked to exchange addresses, she looked at me with a "smile of apprehension," but shared her address anyway, and I gave her mine. We've never been in contact since. Pretty potent poem from a microscopically short relationship ;-)

Follow-up Note: Since I wrote Tad's Note (above), the girl and I have reconnected through the internet. She loves the poem and the story behind it.

"88" ::: © JTK.CA

"88" by JTK.CA
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My step-Grandma Ruth Ketchen just turned 88 today.
88 is two sideways "infinity" symbols, so I joked to
her that she's achieved "eternal life." She smiled.

"TIME"
by JTK.CA
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tick, Tick, Tick;
The hands are moving 'round.
Tick, Tick, Tick;
Tomorrow will soon be found.
Tick, Tick, Tick;
You're always on the run...
(Tick, Tick, Tick;)...
Trying to get things done.

Tick, Tick, Tick;
Can you make the ticking stop?
Tick, Tick, Tick;
No! Not even if you destroy your clock!
Tick, Tick, Tick;
Time goes on and on...
(Tick, Tick, Tick;)...
Even long after you're dead and gone.
Tick, Tick, Tick...

"I'VE ONLY GOT TILL NOW" ::: © JTK.CA

"I'VE ONLY GOT TILL NOW"
by JTK.CA
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've only got till now.
That's all the time I need.
Tomorrow isn't promised.
Fame won't make me free.

Dreams are like sailboats
Floating on the clouds of imagination.
Adulation from the crowds.
But tomorrow isn't promised,
And this silence speaks so loud.

*

Don't build your dreams on Earth,
Where tomorrow's promised never.

Build your dreams in Heaven,
Where tomorrow lasts forever.

*

I've only got till now.
That's all the time I need.
Tomorrow isn't promised.
Fame won't make me free.

Dreams are like sailboats
Floating on the clouds of imagination.
Adulation from the crowds.
But tomorrow isn't promised,
And this silence speaks so loud.

Tomorrow isn't promised,
And this silence speaks so loud.

"THE THEME MUSIC TO TAD'S LIFE
('Pipeline' by The Alan Parsons Project)"
by JTK.CA

The instrumental in this video, "PIPELINE" by THE ALAN PARSONS PROJECT, is one of Tad's all-time favourite pieces of music. It has been his own personal theme song since he first listened to it on his 1984 vinyl copy of the "Ammonia Avenue" record. One feature he loves about "Pipeline" is the saxophone performance of Mel Collins. Tad was disappointed when Mel Collins left The Alan Parsons Project.

Tad's fellow Alan Parsons fan JoeNeil69
http://www.youtube.com/user/JOEneil69
did a great job on making this video! Tad especially likes the way the sun blasted into the video right at the point of the first saxophone solo! He thinks some of the graphic visual manipulations were cool too!

"ROOT BEER"
by JTK.CA
(a.k.a. JONATHAN TAD KETCHEN)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I love A&W Root Beer for the taste and the nostalgia of my childhood, when (at least in Canada) you ate in the car after the hostess came outside and hooked the tray with your order onto the rolled down driver's window. And the Root Beers were served in the A&W signature frosty mugs.

When I need caffeine, I prefer Barq's Root Beer. A&W Root Beer has the best taste; Barq's Root Beer has the best "bite"! I love them both!

I also consider Root Beer to be my own family's invention (even though it isn't). Root is the surname of my mother's side of my family. We should make Root Beer the official family beverage. Dad is an only child, so all of my first cousins are Roots. ROOTS is also a clothing line here in Canada, once again, with no connection to my family.
