Dancing despair drapes the windows Scuttling shadows slither across the sky Sending soft perpetual drizzle Floating the oil slicks on the roads As 4x4's speed by trusting in traction Grow-lights glow in each house's windowed lights Singing UV warning, tiddle-dee, fry with me Emptied chamber smoking cordite With the surcease deceased When comes rejuvenating from above Caressed by a beam of the sun's love Alicat *based upon observational evidence in the Greater Portland area* |

Thanks for the breaks there, Huan. If memory serves, which it rarely does without a hefty tip (darn unions), this was written during a red light while driving in southern Greater Portland by a mall back in late '99 after hearing of 'sun lamps'. I think it was by Clackamas, but my spelling is prolly way off. During the almost perpetual grey sky, there came a sudden clearing and the sun shone most brightly. It was while looking up that the words came unbidden while pictures flickered behind my eyes. |

Even though this deals with serious issues, the glow lights and fry with me brought me a chuckle - enjoyed this - susan Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |
