I'm sitting next to my wife with
her bright colored glove on my thigh
and watching
A man in a tailored overcoat,
platinum ring on his hand,
smooth leather briefcase between his legs
A lady sitting
with red, dyed, thin hair and a heavily wrinkled face looking under
her brow and over her thick glasses,
eyes darting back and forth
A pear shaped girl with dark skin huddling behind the collar of her coat,
the hem rises over her hips and she pulls it down,
again and again
A couple snuggling, kissing, giggling --
she has dark long hair and legs and freckles,
he has eyes and hands full of her
A man with chapped, cracked hands holding a trash cart
that's rolling, spilling stench --
he has grey in his beard,
gunk in his hair,
no earphones,
and rhythm in his feet as he cripwalks to no
music but the squeal of the brakes,
hush of the doors,
sway of the car
her bright colored glove on my thigh
and watching
A man in a tailored overcoat,
platinum ring on his hand,
smooth leather briefcase between his legs
A lady sitting
with red, dyed, thin hair and a heavily wrinkled face looking under
her brow and over her thick glasses,
eyes darting back and forth
A pear shaped girl with dark skin huddling behind the collar of her coat,
the hem rises over her hips and she pulls it down,
again and again
A couple snuggling, kissing, giggling --

gunk in his hair,

and rhythm in his feet as he cripwalks to no

Cripwalking to no music is the only way to dance. You got it all perfectly!

ReplyDeleteOh -- almost forgot... in response to your ? about sending me your story -- Yes and YES! I'm looking forward to it!!!
ReplyDelete-DD
You must eat words like I eat chocolate for you to spit such rich composition. Keep it up! Write forever...
ReplyDeleteYou brought me with you, to that indefinate space but I was still there, in the moment with you and all the other beings.
ReplyDeleteGet with it, old timer. It's only Finnish folk-scatting on my blog. Pssh.
ReplyDeleteAnyhow, dig the writing as always. Each stanza hits me as a good photograph. Nothing is unreal or uninteresting. Awesome imagery, pretty much.
I think this does an awesome job of doing the whole "Imagniary Gardens whith real toads in them". I can feet dirt and smell the funk. Nicely done
ReplyDeleteThis is RAD. Also, how'd you do the kickin' masthead?? TELL ME EVERYTHING. Get my email addy from your wife with the colored gloves.
