Ffolkes,

I offer the modest proposal
that our Universe is simply one of those things
which happen from time to time.”

Hajime…. My purpose here today is single-fold; to get done with this, before I reach complete melt-down mode. I don’t know exactly why I’m in such a state, but, to deal with it most efficiently, it’s best to get this done, & move directly into hunker-down mode, my most powerful state of protective insulation from Reality. I don’t even care much today, so, I’m letting the process dictate the results. I’ve trusted it for this long, so, may as well keep on doing so….
I have nothing stirring in my conscious mind to put into this section; even my unconscious is in limbo. To avoid any accusations of either pandering, or, whining, I’ll just quit trying to be coherent, & get on with what we have for your perusal today. Nothing else to do, but, smile, & get on with it. Smiling may be pushing it, so, we’ll just move on to the latter…. It’s simple, really; this is all there is to it….
Shall we Pearl?

I’ve had a mad crush on this woman for decades, & still regard her as one of humanity’s treasures, for any number of reasons, most of which she displays every time she performs…. Besides, the year is already 3 days old, & we haven’t used her yet…. Enjoy, ffolkes; I will, so, you may as well, too….

Semblance of Time
The dreams and visions of modern times are pallid and pale
filled with fear and loathing instead of joy and wonder.
Reality is aging poorly, submitting less data to loudly regale
Sad faded images lacking substance, or proof of thunder.
Sisters and brothers of nightly performance speak in spite
building up scars to protect, or keep a semblance of sanity.
Knowing illusion is near and dear, steeped in muscular delight
while compassion and intelligence get smothered by humanity.
Loneliness soon became the friend of many sizes of fools
stealing through mazes of social tests as if truly wise, or old
while companies of sterile opportunity are hiding their tools
from anyone who might be feeling even a little bit bold.
Painful momentary flashes seem to outline society’s fate
until soft, heavy monuments to elder gods fall from grace.
We’re all getting tired of being told we’re far too late
and never ever nearing tolerance, nor regaining any face.
A hard message awaits us all when we dare to even stay
of life’s uncaring disposition and curmudgeonly faux heart
Only with the strength of a hero may such tales make way
Only a poet may turn such pain into a valid work of art.

I did it; it’s done. That is, really, all there is to it today. In fact, it’s so done, I’m outta here, with no ups & no extras. Mark this date on your calendars, ffolkes; it’s likely you’ll never see it like this again…. See ya….
Y’all take care out there,
and May the Metaphorse be with you;
Blessed Be, dearest Carole, Mark,Theresa, & Richy
and everyone else, too…
When I works, I works hard.
When I sits, I sits loose.
When I thinks, I falls asleep.
Which is Why….
Sometimes I sits and thinks,
and sometimes,
I just sits.

À bientôt, mon cherí….
Ever heard of Ana Popovic?
She is good…chuq
Heard the name, but, never heard her music; I’m checking it out now, & will most likely use tomorrow… Thanks…
*grin*
I saw her about 10 years ago and she blew the others away…I like her style…chuq
Been listening… gutsy, gritty rock… She IS hot, in more ways than one… but, especially on the guitar…
Definitely going to use her tomorrow…
g
great….she is even better in person….have a day my friend….chuq
The glass has sufficient room for vodka. Nothing wrong with that.
I stay at the top of the ladder on the “do not step here” rung. Do you think Freddie would have claimed the abyss was staring back at him only half-heartedly because it has but one eye?
Sorry, Al. I study better with no pants.
Yes, Flo.
No, Caroline. That is pronounced “paperweight”.
Scars only protect sanity once one commits to protecting said (or alleged) sanity from interacting with the profanity others believe is reality.
If life does not have its poop in enough of a group to love itself, how, pray tell, is anyone else to love it? It is much akin to listen to Chopin without any flats.
Thought-bowl full enough.

Bientôt, cher xxx
Always a pleasure seeing you, milady; even more so when you comment. You see deeper… but, then you enjoy deep, don’t you, in most respects?…. *wink*
Glad I could fill up the bowl for ya….
Bientôt, cheri…
xoxo
D’accord. Bien sûr, très profond xxx
