flow and ebb
lyrics’ webb
unseen scales
empty trails
of light unburst
municipal thirst
for meaningful muse
the clowns left clues
the wrong grave’s exhumed
(*see calendar)
lazy thinking
drowning/drinking
I’m not down for this up
inflatable cup
no thanks.
You can’t hear
what I’m not saying
unplug your ears
of all your preying
then light the fuse
follow the clues
or not.
Short sentences
are my drop,
they’re not wafting
to your heights…

Inspired by one of my favourite, satirical sites, Scarfolk Council, from their Facebook page, where every Friday is Friday the 13th.
This was, clearly, a very uncharacteristic (cough) stream of thought…but I had been in the sun for a bit…
say no to clowns 
Very enjoyable, a kind of spoken modern jazz feel, lots of apparent contradictions, and a take-it-or-leave-it message. I don’t know what happened to the zombie, mind you, but coool. 😎

Hey Steve! Thank you. I’m not sure exactly what happened…I got out my brand new trusty note book after I laughed my head off at this calendar, started writing, realised that I was getting madder and sadder as I wrote (thinking about the latest Hollywood scandal) and it kind of all blended into this…
I’m really glad you liked it. It kind of encapsulates my generally bewildered state, although not surprised either, if you know what I mean?

Just keep blending Vanessa. 😃 Yes, I do know what you mean, and it’s kind of sad that we’re no longer surprised by such terrible behaviour.

Indeed! Never have been able to relate to the obsession of Hollywood, nor the White House’s ongoing obsession with it…that’s a whole other long conversation, though, right?
Thanks, always, for your support! ♦

Me either, and in a world with more and more interconnectivity, Hollywood stars shine more brightly and the obsession grows …

The power in Hollywood has always baffled and disgusted me quite frankly. And the White house’s connection. It’s true, I am so very sad I am not surprised by this, but awfully glad it’s come to light, of course.

Where do we start with this Vanessa. It is like Spike Milligan on various substances. I really enjoyed it and could you explain what Sun is? 🙂

It is more an orangy red type Merlot Vanessa, but there is a strange calm that has descended.

hmmmmm I remember when we lived in the States, and the awful calm before a tornado went through, as well as the sometimes very eerie green light in the atmosphere…shudder.
Can you take a photo? Could be an interesting post?
