        The Remora of Blues      

Blues, like remora on a host
Holds on to the cutting shadow.
Grabs and clings like chains of a ghost.
That walks the strange of tomorrow.  

Listening to a lower key
Withdrawing to ambience of mood
Muting outlook with wis-a-vis.
That leads it into thoughtless brood.

Plunging the head into withdraw
Playing blues of hyperbole.
Questioning the sun and even more
Weather and what will come to be.

Morbid the remora of ID
Bumming the ride of the ocean
Looking in the mirror naked.
Making low the base of notion.

Feeding on the leavings of fates
No highs no lows just sticks and waits.

As usual, pulling the dictionary out...thinking I "sort of" knew what remora was...is...and delighting in the way you describe life...

If I whisper, will you listen?...
I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound.

oooh Sy's singing the blues ...
these way cool lines are the ones I choose
like reading your mind....these poetic clues
wisdom dressed in rhyme ... when reading you I cant lose.

JM,
Brain freeze I don't believe
It must be the raspberry tea.
