New York New York weekend weekend - Part 1

Igniting the sole with variety, imagination, images and exhaustion.

A day in new York.

People, hot and people, struggling
Subway stops that aren't
Yellow fords invade
A to z of J walking, New York style, where the people have all the power and revel in it
People are crazy, people omnipotent

Selling blooms that last only moments,
Washington square full of jazz and memorial comedy in the still night
Princesses, pints, pictures, paint as Gothic gotham grins and grinds. To good to be true but wariness lives on.
Why not time spend with traipse schools by the water or with chess champions, or sailing from the school? People every where as the city creeks and cracks and breaths.

Fun stuff for Monday

This is fun, if you are in the mood.....

Elevation

High, higher than the sun
You shoot me from a gun
I need you to evalate me here
At the corner of your lips
As the orbit of your hips
Eclipse, you elevate my soul

I've lost all self control
Been living like a mole
Now going down, excavation
I and in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high, elevation

A star lit up like a cigar
Strung out like a guitar
Maybe you could educate my mind
Explain all these controls
I can't sing but I've got soul
The goal is elevation

A mole, living in a hole
Digging up my soul
Going down, excavation
I and I in the sky
You make me feel like I can fly
So high, elevation

Love, lift me out of these blues
Won't you tell me something true
So high, elevation

Bass and Fire flys

As twilight becomes a reality, the bass fisherman buzz and steer.

The orange glow of dust and at once the fisherman are gone.

Replaced by loon, heron and bull frog. Fireflys begin the ritual courtship

This is a wonderland, a vision, a waking dream.

Read the news today oh, boy

Read the news today oh, boy Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire...

Difficult not to be effected by the news yesterday from London, although every time this happens it seems like there is less physical and emotional reaction. The terror that they seek is doomed to fail if this is all they have.

Still without actually talking to my Mother (living in London), you do wonder if the world changed for me yesterday and I dont know it yet.

"And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes
it takes to fill the Albert Hall"

I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud

An oldy, but a goody and a bit fluffy:

wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils,
Beside the lake, beneath the trees
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the Milky Way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced, but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee: -
A poet could not but be gay
In such a jocund company:
I gazed -and gazed -but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought.

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills
And dances with the daffodils.
