SONOGRAPH TRANSLATION
23 March 2012

Amidst cacophonous supermarket chatter,
velvet notes hummed softly
by a musing cashier
melted the chocolate of my thoughts
and I drove home in a dream capsule
and painted the swirled textured timbre
into the colours of this poem.

I love the bits and pieces of a normal day when they are put to prose explantions of what seems mundane...

I hear Dr. Williams in this.

A cashier humming, turns into melted chocolate..
It doesn't get better than that...:-)

Applause!

Thank you, Ford.  Yes, Dr Williams, a favourite of both us, indeed.  I love your new signature - now THAT doesn't get better than that either!
