I could ply away the hours, Just drinking whiskey sours, Just to ease the pain I’m not for heavy drinking But at least I won’t be thinking “reality is quite insane” I could find some fine white powder And fall beneath it’s power Numbing all my brain I don’t advocate resorting To needles or the snorting For heroin or cocaine I could eat pills like candy And sleep where ever handy Either in sunshine or the rain But the pills I’d be popping Delays yet isn’t stopping The workings of the brain So I guess I must be going In morning freshly glowing And do all again.

Ah, but Prof., you've had the answers all along. Now say good-bye to Dorothy and Toto, and I'll fly you away in my colourful, hot-air balloon.  Chris |

Yes we all feel we want the world to allow us to get off unfortunately some of us have the opportunity after a lot years to wonder why do you deal with someone who needs a reality check I like your words, the meaning is necessary, the way forward seems cloudy Dave |

Thank you, Nightshade, Can we see the crowned heads? Tsk, the problem is they are all gone And I just can’t say goodbye, I missed the balloon, Again, Lost one of my slippers I think that cowardly cat has it, And to top it all off, it’s Monday. sigh pleased you enjoyed. Thank you, DavePage, Glad you liked, But the problem isn’t a clarity issue Or perhaps it is I can see it all too well. Reality is for those of us that can’t handle drugs Gloom |

Realism I suppose is that you will get up tomorrow realism is that you are alive realism is that we all hang on to something realism is that most of the time it is down to us but we still want that feeling of letting the world go bye, because we dont need it Dave |

Hello, Professor. I started to respond to your poem, but got caught up reading your responses--I'm kind of daffy with all the pills and drugs from surgery. Hey, they ain't doing the total trick anyway, and besides, you're right, not for a person of reality. About the balloon response, despite your name, I know you are of a brighter sphere where balloons and such travel. If you don't believe me, take out the oils or acrylics and see the colors they paint. I dare you! Let your creativity be the vehicle for casual escape. You're very talented, Aszard-- Don't let the colors sit. Sadie [This message has been edited by Sadelite (03-19-2004 09:54 AM).] |

Yeah, reality checks can really stink, but are quite necessary for everyone. Even the real world seems unreal sometimes and the check is still needed. Sometimes I think when reality finally sets in the bumps are lil easier. Nice write Proff. |

Oh yes, I know the feeling of this poem -- and you know I know! Cheer up. I did very much like the rhythm you used with this poem -- and as also, enjoyed heaps! |

^*-*^*-*^*-*^*-*^*-*^ "I could find some fine white powder and fall beneath its power" ...BUT THEN WHAT NEXT?... The poem was undoubtedly well written. I hope things are OK with you, as this is not the work of a happy chappy. The tone was lowered by the meaning. However I know this was intentional. I've pondered your comment.. "Reality is for those of us who can't handle drugs" A nice thought, however when reality bites... "Drugs are for those of us who can't handle reality" ^*Kimberley*^  "Theres no posession, just obsession and growing depression" |
