They were cellophane lines. Colored in off shades Crackling when read Yet remaining semitransparent with the meaning almost clearly seen as they wrapped One on another down a page Leaving nothing uncovered To grow stale From exposure Belying the perfidy of acts Extolling the intimate loosing Of now for past They were not sucked in nostrils off a mirror, polished still they gave a high to some Ingesting them with abandon Only to lie about in stupor Telling each the other How good it had been Then How bad it was Now Brittle wrapping on such thoughts Is bound to split in time Yet for now they Cellophane Pretty |

Powdered with deep thoughts. Loved the imagery here. |

and by the way, it's a perfect metaphor. The one word sarcasm ending this is sublime. |

Lots of layers here, and i sense a true grasp of the falseness of it all... man yer deep! Someday I hope to find a depth where I can write comfortably without seeking the frivolous surface too soon. yers truly gb |

Ron, If we could unwrap cellophane and find those words you wrote in repose-- it would be worth it all. Mike |

Cellophane does create some pretty colors when they're overlapped, but in the end they are separate when unwrapped. I love this metaphor...coming from you. |
