Art Show at the Grange Hall

His favorite song is “I am the Walrus”
It’s a goo-goo-ga-joob thing
and its custard dripping
from that same old dead dog’s eye.

He talks of urine pooling beneath her
as she dreams unaware,
one leg twitching out of control.
It’s her final curtain call.

And her eye make-up is exquisite
(as always).

It’s not like this thought is going any place.
It’s not intended to be an expectation raising event;
it is simply a string of syllables

to the screechy sound of “Go Tell Aunt Rhody”
on a beginners violin. Her intensity emanates,
while working those strings with grim determination

Garish pictures hang on the walls,
original oils poorly framed.
Faces smile, cheese gripped in working man’s hands
Nodding, nodding with knowledge
- bauble head dancing -
and understanding the message.

But no one buys

They listen to the music and dance
around the truth
on a Friday night at the Grange Hall.

Anything on a beginners violin grates the nerves.

But that 'pooling' image...hmm. Now that's one that assaults the senses!
Grange grunge...?

honey, i read this earlier while "working"
and couldn't think of anything to say,
it's kinda like a train wreck, ya don't
wanna watch, but find yourself peeking
through your fingers .. fascinated.
