blue shock / vanilla coke )( slurpee (therapy) slow down the cigarette – puff artistic’lly the backs packed contain books stacked ergo nomic’lly (aqua pair of blue briefs slice thighs like a knife) I stumble upon a great epiphany it's me that is the soul author of this wretched life the key fits the wagon as it always did before my nubs stab the presets. Hungry for the floor, my feet become the peddler, for alms they will implore to blast past the strange police, the cliché brigade, of handcuffed, three billy gruff’s still fat from the chore each makes light of the choices I have made a rush to write the words - the journey has them found a wish to change the channeling before the sun is down I want to sleep (but damn the wheels must spin around) The static interferes - sometimes, although, it’s plain Nothing short of torment - the style is of my crown Master pieces fragmented - passive voices slain. The key fits the front door lock as it always must again The universe (ity) of dad – classes now begin the a(cad)emia on my shoes - washed away as sin As I pour the Dr. Seuss’s out, Silvertein, and Grimm I whisper in the sleeping ears the path to “chinny chin” Another night persuades me, here, to always think of them In the quiet hour, a chopped report is heard just my lonely thoughts getting buried into words [This message has been edited by wayoutwalt (07-23-2002 01:46 PM).] |

"My aqua blue pair of briefs cut my thighs as if a knife) Then I stumble ‘pon a great epiphany I am the soul author of my own pathetic life." hey waltie...this set such a wry tone of irony, I could not help but relate. Sometimes, methinks an epiphany, is just a simple moment of lucidity, highlighting the absurdity of our lives...yanno? SORT OF LIKE A SAINT'S FOOTBALL HIGHLIGHT. *chuckle* Have missed reading you. Hugs you, I am hit and miss, but I catch ya when I can! |
