I follow my fingers
covering holes
I watch the leaves falling
fallowing low
I follow my fingers
they capture the role
of the man with a following
doubting his soul
squatting the stance
legging dispute
dancing romance
of his ill repute
with a flute
playing larger than he ever could
laughing at laughter
knowing he would
wake the wave faster
white water should
make foam on the rocks
that sit there too stern--

watching

the white water play.

you still have white water there

it is brown here
muddy
like linseed oil soup
being hurled
from a diseased bowl

huh?  oh sorry
that was the sewer farm
they say the river is behind me

going to the same ocean


thoughts?  enjoyed it lady!!

now you don't want me to write of linseed?

NOBODY wants me to write of that...

it makes the oils pliable, and gives the cadmium the free of stroke...

should I go on?

that's the stuff that gives the whiskers in the brushes strength -

oh I could go on -



and you? you'd like that, wouldn't ya?

Better than anything on TV though isn't it? And it may all be true.

tv?

is that a show?

(Forgive my ignorance Rich, I have one channel now, and I watch the news, although I must blushingly confess I have a written-in-stone date for American Idol with my daughter. I must now blushingly confess that I am the one who holds her to the promise.   )

Other nights I just read though.

Beautifully written m'lady, I saw every single detail. Very dramatic and vivid. I could feel the swirl of this.
