John Wayne Earthquake

Post by the mingo » April 12th, 2017, 5:53 am

missiles ?
have some tea!
we will all be restarted, don't worry, it's automatic like sentences falling from trees -
it's important doll prose, please pour the wistful silver - Paul Revere? -

maybe back up to keep the focus,
we all way too close to things or do I mean "also"
bump wide, blue-eyed - wide eyed blind -

what's next? is it exciting? Quick! Hand me that pencil !
train on the siding, waiting, shining -
- between you and me it was paper what did the natives in - ask 'em, they'll tell ya -

Met an earthquake beginning of the week - I asked for his name he said John Wayne and asked me after the weather - it's warmed up, ya know, I answered -

You have to get things down, I know I already said it,
if you let it pass
it's gone gone

Maria, send a letter to the Prince of the East - Your Highness,
( means on top or tall, maybe? ) sign it Missile

The crimes the crimes the crimes are crying -
the news? morbid fascination entertainment -
little windows let me ask you, is there a syllable minimum ?

Do I need to go awake or go to sleep ? If it's important let me know.

Feeble surprise does not rate an exclamation point. One must always be creative, of course, otherwise what's the point ?
The Point ⇒

Turn off the lights ? Not necessary, things go dark all by themselves

So long, John Wayne Earthquake,
shake, rattle, & roll the trolls down the boulevards of Hells bells
- give all the angels a kiss for me.
Doll, you may have found a place of rest but I'm still on the trail.

made me think of our bizarre condition lately, this world of disregard for facts...and the surreal nature of not fitting in from where I sit....it's like having a conversation with someone that's clearly mentally ill......when you have ascertained that someone is irrational there is really no need to try and have a conversation.....what's the point ?.... 8) 8) 8)

good stuff, I have been through several earthquakes, each one has a different vibe.
John Wayne played Genghis Khan, it was filmed in a nuclear bomb site.

I just read about that-- Saint George, Utah area, which got a lot of fallout from the Nevada Test Site blasts a couple hundred miles west. (One article even had a pic of John Wayne and a couple other people using a geiger counter...)

"sign it Missile"... Yikes.
