&

moussed & frazzled

–buffed up nicely

–of plat’num

–such a pen

I’m glad I’ve got one!

Auto Pilots

social_newtworking

thinking can be onerous

a spinning wheel

on synapse bus

a thousand loops

in Voids-R-Us

a complex groove

~in disco club~

it really asks a lot from us!

But Gates

has changed that process up

freed our brains from thinking stuff

gave those Jobs to Mothers Bored

Bit that Apple

–f*cked us more–

then logging on

with sticks from Tree

of Knowledge vast

–but streamed & screened–

we settle in

like Lambs in lee

ignorant

(so blissfully)

of side-effect

as Cursors

A Writer Shade of Pale

I’m having fun playin’ around with the term (aka phonetic sound) of palate–pallid–pallet & palette…which mean respectively: taste, pallor, cot, and artist’s board for paint. I’ve already eliminated the latter 2, while these next 2 “sketches” have fun with the former coupla’…

What else. Drawing in Illustrator–I am having a blast with this program, and look forward to sharing what I work on now–when it’s done. I tried to sign up for a class at City but they don’t have one just for Illustrator….lucky I got an A in it first time out, soz acclimating to the new menu is not too difficile.

H-e-n-n-yway. A day-dreamy, too-hot-to-play-outside-yet day, hope you guys are good.

a writer’s pallid

is understandable

we don’t get out much–

for all the rocks we push uphill

they tend to roll down

Yabba Dabba Doo style

steamrollin’

Fred where he paces,

soles an’ all…

small apple

a writer’s palate is

unique

either very refined

–read: picky–

or hogwash happy

there is no in between for the famished scribe

no TV dinner

“good enough”

no fast food

“slow enough”

no Twinkie

“twinkly enough”

it’s tits on a ritz,

crème de la crème,

or the pits.

(olive pits, though)

since writers so infrequently

~snack~

busy as they are,

with their hands.

How to Whistle

 

“There’s a slow train a comin'”

suspending bridge to

off-track Motocross style,

it’s an instinctive way to see America

–unless you want to photo bomb a Stephen King flick–

commuters remain

soot-less & flange-free

and sounder than a missed Amtrak

no bar car, tho

since a derailed train can duck Cinder Dicks, all the same

override Dead Men’s Switch

& blow through diamond XX

summiting

elevations

Atlas shrugged off

it knows it can, that lil engine

boring stone

wall

with steam.

Ah, but back to John…

by the way, &

if the flask empties

before Happy Hour, you roll with it–

that 5 o’clock Shadow

works wonderfully well,

& subtracts nothing

from a sunny day, ’cause it isn’t as if

stubble reflects.
