Inside the shadow's shadow

0 posted 2003-10-25 01:55 AM


The nibbums and the nackers are knackered down
The street is breathing
Cities and lights too bright
for me to sleep
Can I have a little peep?
Flames flashing
Why do they crave the dance
When two become one silent, still
Again?
Save me the peaches, Mom -
You can have the apple crisp
-y chips...crisps.
Suddenly purple becomes too purprle
And lightning strikes are never striking
For they haven't hit a solid thing
For more than twenty years.
I wondered where the butter went
To slickly slide a square of it
Around the fuzzy peaches
(MOM! SAVE ME THE PEACHES!!)
And snorting sugar from cereal box
Lucky Charms indeedy
The limping turtle's speedy
And my toes are much too meaty
From no sleep and lack of peachy.



I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man.
--Chang Tzu

Ah.
Where a mind goes
when listening to
the little voices...

fade to purple.



MUCH enjoyed, KoKo

I came back looking for this one because I enjoyed it so much yesterday. I liked your explanation too--and this indeed feel "free associated" and I found it really effective as a form in the way that sounds and smells do come back to remind of comforts found so long ago.

So yep-I wanted a second helping.

Your plea for peaches left me feeling all fuzzy inside.
