Vocal chords whirlwind Playing every night Starting at the beginning Like a new CEO finding A few minutes Endless road trips Embarking auditions Coughing From seminar trends in Full body dance Facing you is a Goliath Herding minds Huge and frightening Heinous apprenticeship Moving an addictive feeling like Euphoria bouncing off the walls Physical fatigue speaking in hushed tongues Like stereotyped hybrids Wading into the audience Leaning how to control external factors Inspiring Spiraling Gazing down the throat of America Features rummage Old Navy stores For rabid fans Who say “We love you dearly” Promotional hooligans With failed questions Distracting conflicts Possess brave fighting children Boasting lots of annoying foliage And tans they didn’t ask for Wary of the bulletproof monk Armwrestling In the shuffle of racial foot soldiers Kicking butts Arguing a current conflict with Fresh ideas about Jurassic Parks The dark horse holds labor strikes With corporate hand puppets Drawing lines on executed prisoners who Donate organs & whisper screams Finding careers in a Greenhouse Holding hands With noise that rocks Engaging in combat And star fantasies Eyes shut muted in awe Playing kickball in their minds Against a backdrop of three dimensional echoes With promise to accentuate sonic assault Gazing down at their own looks of fear While parasites of the unpredictable Go people hunting In modern day pathos In the name of freedom Religion, you name it Black and white photos of expression Asking, I wonder what they were feeling? Digging in and using the same will That love remains devoted to Did I forget to mention I heard love talking to itself? Mental breakdowns become Things which sort of happen Walking around naked with cloths Draped over their shoulders Simplistic ace bandages Wrapped around the wrists of minds Realism painted on the same canvas As abstract features Being arranged for the show Bright colors encircling a room Full of crying Eating cock roaches and spiders Reminding us of recognition Of outstanding achievements Congratulations You won Fear Factor! Teaching students Isn’t it entirely beautiful? The Most beautiful aspects of facts Peering through Simple naturalistic things? [This message has been edited by LeeJ (11-11-2004 07:44 AM).] |

wow Lee, you left me with much to think about this morning. This especially got my attention.. Arguing a current conflict with Fresh ideas about Jurassic Parks The dark horse holds labor strikes With corporate hand puppets Drawing lines on executed prisoners who Donate organs & whisper screams Well done Lady. The greatest beauty on earth, is |
