When David Blaine Got lifted and put up a pole as tall as a skyscraper It might have been a suicidal quietus, an 'endurance test But it wasn't something of the latent in semiotics It wasn't real magic When David Blaine Stretched his arms like an omniscient Christo De la Concordia or Christo Rendento Overlooking some Latino-Americano country It wasn't real magic When David Blaine Managed without alimental haute cuisine or viand Or a sizable bottle of Volvic or Evian And hence sans a baignoire, a bidet ou a pissoir It wasn't real magic When David Blaine Got the multitude of the multicolored multicultural Multi-tolerant Manhattan mesmerised Without the aid of something pendulous like a horologe It wasn't real magic When David Blaine Foundered into cardboard boxes that his helpers put up near the pole I knew then that there was physics involved, and as his helpers looked for him I thought of Bernstein's first law in "Bernstein's Reverse Dictionary" It was real magic "am a tourist not a terrorist, don't shoot, cause we are all on a journey to God" Michak |

Welcome to Passions. This is an interesting first post that will require more than one read on my part. I'm only vaguely familiar with David Blaine, magician. I've never seen Bernstein's Reverse Dictionary. |

interesting, though I am not familiar with the man or the book....I'll have to do some research on it. [This message has been edited by passing shadows (12-19-2002 12:59 PM).] |

when i read the title, i figured you were going to use david blaine as a metaphor for a topic--as in, you being some sort of magician casting magic [hypothetically speaking that is]. but i guess you wrote directly about blaine. it's different and thats why i like it. i love the language you took in writing this. it's dalmost like a distorted fairytale--and it's nifty. thanks for the read. -chris. |
