Sleep will not come.
Thoughts will not come.
And so I write ...Lets see what comes....
Ah !   An experiment .
Cant be any more odd
than most of my " thought out " ramblings.
But...we shall see...

Oh!   If you could only see as I hear
and remember to forget.
If we, for one moment shared the
same sight and blindness...
You would laugh at the smell
of all of the dying
and dance with the laughter
of those who mourn.

But, you are near too busy
dotting your Ts and
crossing your eyes.
Making certain the left shoe
is on the right foot.
Green means Go and red
means Stop and the yellow
in between offers hope that
there is still a slight chance.

Flashing blue brings anxiety
from the threat of punishment
or the promise of a bargain.
Smiley faces carry slightly greater status.

i before e except after Labor Day
or atleast an hour after eating.

So many giving so much thought
to the little hampster from Texas
who runs on oil and squeaks
when he is squeezed.
So many children playing grown-up
while the mature ones laugh and play.

Dont forget to keep your clock slightly ahead
and change the calender pages forward each month.
It wouldnt do to notice that Time is running backwards.

Rotate your tires
The same damn
route everyday
causes alot of wear.
I'm sure you feel it.

Oh!  If you could see as I hear
and crawl out from beneath
the rug where you lay in all your dirt.
But...
Then I would not be as happy.
You are very funny !
Very entertaining !
I enjoy your backward-forward
upside down contrary actions.

Ah !   I should name this...
SEEING THE SOUND OF THUNDER

The storms have intensified...havent they?
Isnt it awesome !!!

The thunder yells so loudly now...

Hoka Hey !   Heyoka

Is it speaking to you or me?

Yes, IT is definitely making
some sound here.

Thank you, Larry.
