the sky is filled with light

Reasons the 70's ruled - Part 1.

Nothing/No one – Act II.

I have forgotten again

The weeks now past

My weakness now passed

Memory amended

Personality disorder rebranded

I had the bullets in my head

Ready to fire

One for each line

Perhaps they shot away

While I slept

Or rolled to the gutter

While I strode the paving slabs

Towards work

They are now gone away

Regardless of how much I need them

I carry an empty gun

Without even a flower to block the barrel

My internal dialogue is a song about a

Song

I have forgotten

And the external monologue rings

In my ears but then

Everything rings in my ears nowadays

The lines get longer and state less

It is all steam escaping

From a boiling saucepan

A spider sways above me and curses my name for disturbing his

Sleep.

Quote of the day

Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up. Pablo Picasso 

To do the same thing over and over again is not only boredom: it is to be controlled by rather than to control what you do.
