Easy to strip the words off the concrete Where they are painted in garish colors And with a flourish of letter that run one to the other Until they lose all connection with language and end Them selves to be the form noticed Not the meanings Or the blood that brought them to be scribed Into the flesh of grey steeled eyes With a squint against the too bright moon That fails to hide such perpetrators as Miguel Of no last name Erase them Or with your own brush simply add strokes to hide In a camouflage of color any intent Of urine marked territory some high boy wonder Might add to the tome of this calligraphic mortuary Now… Dip your own pen in the ink of some dark blight And spend some time with your tongue half stuck from lips As you concentrate on making the curves just so And let’s see what hieroglyphic statement is on your skin Masking the meaning as always inside the clever Or the urbane use of phrased mythology Such erudite as yourself are accustomed to And when you are done Boil it down for me To the simple words I in hillbilly heaven Can understand while I hold raw whiskey in a tumbler Just to remember how it was to be able to swill it easily Without choking on either the smell or the burn As it went down Go ahead But make it simple please I am not the smart man who sees the present in the past Or the way some metaphors are lain down on pages For an easy understand…. Strip the words off me…. Like concrete ya know Sometimes it is all just Cold |

And when you are done Boil it down for me To the simple words I in hillbilly heaven Can understand while I hold raw whiskey in a tumbler Just to remember how it was to be able to ****************************************** yea i understand, and in my own lingo too: and when you are done, boil it down for me AND then take it down a notch, stop talking like a dictionary and let me love you simple, under the boardwalk ,like only a brooklyn girl can. sorry, getting a bit carried away......lol liked the sentiment of your words |

I'm reminded of a either a line drawn in the sand or a stick laid down ...... and then spit over. I'll hold your coat, partner. You won't need the Marines. Well done. Bob |

Came back to save this one.  (some of Cap's stuff just seem to mysteriously disappear, so I'm playing it safe) |

I get the impression you're writing one of those "how to" manuals... again.  Yea, you're pretty sharp for being cold... |
