airplanes cut through the sky
likes knives
we turn our minds out
trying to recollect
some of our greater escapes
laying low
on a veteran of the aluminum age
crafted
when oak still came from trees
instead of antique stores
thoughts wander in and out
of the war room
distractions
brightly clad
but dimly lit
strut by in an unmemorable fashion
bringing a chuckle
up from the knowledge department

people stop by
ask questions
inquire about prices
investigate locations

sometimes
no one says anything
and that
is when I like it the best
just the film
projecting in front of me
and the imagination
passing along
some revisions

anything, everything
to keep my mind off
the sunken ship
that’s lying there
just off the coast
of my current events tabloid page

Well now. How nice is this?

A delicate touch here, Drex. Still has dark connotations, but there is such a sweet resignation to this one. I love it.

I started selling my photography on the Venice boardwalk yesterday, it was nice just kicking back and enjoying all the free entertainment, sipping on some juice in the sun with my wide brimmed hat....keeping my mind off of the approaching flood...
