Examination of middle life
Through the eye of a needle

by brian madden and Poutprincess

========================


juice breaks…..

caught in kitchen sink with turnip mines
and a juice break radiowave coming through
anorexics and disco ball dogs
wear Saturn's rings it tutu pink
kissing klits of intellect
and frown with smiles at dinner bell
Sunday sun up/ pu nus yadirf
30 second sonic colonic proffession
Where Dali's in parsley with Johnny Arabia
i said i cant keep up! Blahblahblahblahblahblah
Waltzing wonderkids on suicide balloon
sushi ticket to ice capades tea cup brawl
Linoleum monsters of road rage poked out
mowing puddles to fine grade sandcastle stones
Infant princesses sold to businessmen at airports
five dollar bumble bee sobriety
Washing machine drunk kills baby in housefly dream
sunsets over sleepless parks loves in hand hyper active trance

< !signature-->

This is the hour when the mysteries emerge
A strangeness so hard to reflect A moment so
moving goes straight to your heart" JOy divison

Brian, I was so anxious to read this one, but you see, I'm just a tad past middle age and I can't make out the words, for the font color is too light . I bet it's a good one, too.

This one takes a lot of thinking about, you set a great area of confusing statements into text very well . And although it has taken a long while I think that it is possible to unravel it .
Thanks a lot .

Well thanks to everyone who read this piece, I hope you all enjoyed this unique interactive experience. The only explanation I can offer is the following taken from the poem "Salutation,"  gratuitous  self quoting here.


"Still is an abstract statement
a statement of less intent?  I am pondering as pondering be
word play and fore lesson slay, nonsense speak still I say broken wisdom
is this tighter more displaced discipline an attempt at forth failed revolution,"


This is the hour when the mysteries emerge
A strangeness so hard to reflect A moment so
moving goes straight to your heart" JOy divison
