Blues Dream of Thomas Merton



"If the glass is full, you can't fill it." - Jelly Roll Morten


Jack Daniels was sitting 

by the fire a' cryin - 

copper tubes in moonlight

the mash a fryin.


Tom Merton come down 

from Gethsemane Town

walked way back to way back when -

had two sips and again

did a chugalug flip

kissed the sky

and then

wrote a note in journal bout

that old Kentucky zen.
