monday billigits are full of faces
eyeing little mirrors in strange places
tuesday billigits listen to grace slick
eyeing small white rabbits in blank spaces
ii
wednesday billigits playin hooky
in pooly pool halls learning snooki
thursday billies say it is snooker
that means hooky hooker cooker cookie
iii
friday billigits are about drinkin
with willie the donkey come home stinkin
saturday gits want the hair of the dog
and magic donkeys are for that thinkin
iv
sunday billigits are free on bail
the night before was quite the third sail
with willie they did paint the town bright blue
magic donkeys never go to jail

In “Essentials of Spontaneous Prose” Jack Kerouac said:
“Time being of the essence in the purity of speech, sketching language is undisturbed flow from the mind of personal secret idea-words blowing (as per jazz musician) on a subject of image.”
Just being spontaneous IS NOT ENOUGH, however; there also has to be (paradoxically) CONTROL or the writing will merely seem random, mad, out of control, too personal and too disconnected, and full of holes…
The billigits project PROJECTS that essential combination of spontaneous-seeming, lively, life-giving energy, and the Word Control of the Shaper behind the creation…
One reason I love the description (or story) of God creating the World in 7 days is because He seems so very very very much LIKE A WRITER while he’s doing it…Yes, a profoundly Large and Cosmic Writer whose works we can never truly comprehend – but still a Writer…
Also glad to see Grace Slick and her great song here…I remember listening to that song AT FULL VOLUME while on three or four tabs of blotter acid (1980s) plus a few other things…Probably one reason it feels etched upon my feeble brain pan to this day…

Hi Dale
Yes, acid does go well with Grace and the rest of the San Francisco crew of yore. It’s such a good match that I must wonder since they must have been high when they recorded the stuff, how did they keep time with each other?
This month, the billies will present all the quatrains to make a hundred. Actually, a done deal, scheduled for every M-W of this month.
Thanks again–

Good news about donkeys and jail, well that’s a weight off my mind. Clever writing this format I never quite got it I don’t think – I could probably find something in my vaults but it wouldn’t be as amusing as this because this has billigits. dd

Hi Diane
I didn’t think I could do it myself, but it is very easy as long as you do not fuss over the rhymes. If Cohen can do Hallelujah with do ya, well it is all fair game.
Thanks again,
Leila
