One Mississippi is about reconciling yourself with the fact that what can be learned and explained through words is always secondary or tertiary to what can intuitively “known” through the Body/Mind Sensorium’s holistic MO.
To not focus on the
Limb that's missing
With the damn
Phantom thing itching
Is a difficult mission
But listen:
With much of the whole/hole intact
In this great anarchic expanse
It mostly comes down
To a gang of ants
Swarming on the shadow
Of a stain of a drop of blood
I know
I've got to submit to
Whatever it is in control
I know
Stop throwing shadow
On shadow and let it all go
I know
You say, "One Mississippi."
January February March
Since you've gone away
Constantly rising from
And falling into flame
My body knows more than
I can form with my brain
And with a roar from
The deepest core cave
Cut a coil of those
Old spoiled ways
I know
I've got to submit to
Whatever it is in control
I know
Stop throwing shadow
On shadow and let it all go
I know
It goes, "One Mississippi
One Mississippi. One Mississippi."
