Bruddah Iz sings somewhere over the rainbow unlike Dorothy because not in Oz Iz knows what we know that on the other side of the rainbow there is no land in lullabies because Blue Skies that is Irving's Blue Skies was the most popular song in 1929 just before the Sky fell Willie sings it in the minor key because he has detected what Siddhartha unearthed long ago that the irony of hope is that it is the saddest I stir my wok peppers and onions and mushrooms and wait for the meal because action is the enemy of thought it is analgesic the stirring and the sizzling a kind of contentment without hope of flying |

LR It's good to see you, even though the down in this poem makes me wish you up! In fact, you made me hungry...and anything that smells and sounds that good, has the hope of tasting good...right? I hope so...(note play on words) Anyway....maybe a hug?  |

If one is content, perhaps there is no need for hope! Everything is as it should be already. Keep sizzling your stirring writes! Good to read you again, Dear Rebel With A Cause! EA |

"I stir my wok peppers and onions and mushrooms and wait for the meal because action is the enemy of thought it is analgesic the stirring and the sizzling" and he can cook too. sighing heart-flutters I have missed you too. You are just so, so, well, cool!  A joy to read you again, and hey, from where I sit, dinner smells delicious. |

Interesting - and ironic - that Blue Skies was the top song right before the stock market crash. Very clever to work that in, Reb. That, along with action being the enemy of thought, strike me nicely. Well done... |

"blue skies, nuthin but blue skies..." Oh, so good to read you again. I've wondered when you might re-appear. Now, you'll have me humming that tune all night long. An enjoyable read, Reb. And I absolutely loved reading Hesse. Humming, as a banyan tree comes into view.... |

Some irony in this that made me stop and think.... The stirfry you're making in this sounds good and is making my tummy grumble. Good write.... Bridgette "Somewhere, somehow, it should be possible to touch someone and never let go again. To hold someone, not for a moment but forever." A. Brink |
