Never Underestimate the Value of Digression
And so it begins…
Voila!
I saw a video display
today
along with the retinue
for which our brains to play.
And, lo, for me to see
with patent ease
and dexterity
the sounds
and sights
and images gracefully glided
and gilded and melded with my mind.
Explosions like bombers,
neurons firing
calling out from
sleepy
dreamy
lazy
driftless
inactivity.
It could be from me,
you see?
because I had the day off.
Words come to mind.
Words like
calmly calling
and
wistful turns
and
“dazing away in a place no one has known:”
much love to Shannon Hoon.
Okay, role play
as in play the role
as in play the reel
are we reelin in the years?
Oh yes, i think we are
Okay watch it now
is it him somehow
did he take away
the face,
the place?
The time
is mine
in rhyme
behind.
Behind?
Behind what?
Behind the atmosphere
of her scent
is delight.
Once known
is shown
to be the
calming
balming
disarming
agent of that bitch goddess Aphrodite.
Dasher of good men’s hopes.
Sociopath who laughingly leaves
the lover standing on the corner of
busted flat and a broken down Pontiac.
Alone and wasted on the shores of
“Could-Have-Been” and
Set adrift for that wretched island known as here.
And who cares?
none but him
none but him…
