Yet another day cut off by distance & natural barriers of great range a convalescing addict becomes the exhausted huff of indecent shadow boxing spiritually divorcing that one single ticket left lying on the road… He takes a brutal look at the certainty of letting go… left face to face with words of heartache & a wink from the left eyes of blood twisted elbows punch his folded wings until they’re skewed, ripped away in his unbroken silence Strutting like clocks that tick & chime coins of rejection with flabby hypocrisy somewhere, in pink flames of neon tail lights he is compelled to gum the rain & total loss of offspring stroking tangles of the soot ruffled hair of reality Does he only see the dark brown shades of foul streets dragging him inside a waiting car of violence his love for black diagonal echoes underneath his fingernails? Can he feel the hesitation between a middle place of body wings & vulgarities ratcheting sweet feel good magic hovering like dead give aways? does he know what is rough what is smooth or better yet, what words to call them when the emptiness soothes? Is he intimate with the barking squeak in his every breath when death tumbles someone sitting beside him…? Does he twist inwardly when hummingbirds bring their fragrance? listlessness, staggers large & clumsy he traces wants, he knows nothing about his mind is the sound of mocking hyenas ripping away flesh underneath a full moon, of bitter howls and screams He is shocked & blinded by morning light he doesn’t know earth soaked aloe nor the taste of dreaming air shushing his tattoos streaming with dirty looks of battle threats, fear and lack of emotional connection…he is the animal contemplating prey, the animal of contempt & indifference he is the ritual stare for domination he strips, tortures and rapes each and every drowning life with bare hands of indifference his religion his blood thirsty images of God He is death eyeballing images that he’s kidnapped from a productive world all it takes is one minute for you to unknowingly invite him in he is a terrorist with powerful impact he is the foul breath of disability of confusion... quite impersonal yet he returns a hungry gaze of midnight hypocrisy destroying credibility employed by a civil war within where decades of terminal malignancy thrives and lives deep within He is a legitimate cultural apparatus A killing machine of Hamas ******* Footnote: I couldn’t help think about Moussaoui, and how we so botched up his days in court…so much so, that HE felt it necessary to confess, not only to hating Americans, but also wanting to Kill them and being involved with the 9/11 attacks. I think he was afraid, he will not be put to death, therefore threatening, his belief and cause… [This message has been edited by LeeJ (04-04-2006 10:45 AM).] |

“He is shocked & blinded by morning light he doesn’t know earth soaked aloe nor the taste of dreaming air shushing his tattoos streaming with dirty looks of battle threats, fear and lack of emotional connection…he is the animal contemplating prey” Great write Lee J. He will never know those things we sometimes take for granted. The freedom to be free. JL  Morning Hun! |

Lee, Thank you for that footnote! You know I need that when reading you.The very words are all laid down in my dictionary, but somehow you manage to put them together in a totally different way from anyone else I have read. Your thoughts are right on. This man is the creature of his beliefs. You are a word master. best, martyjo [This message has been edited by latearrival (04-06-2006 03:49 AM).] |

Strange the human twists of morality... I cannot expound any better on kudos than what you have received above, LeeJ... only to thank you for sharing, in your own inimitable way.  |
