The Picture (Blogophilia 12.13)

The pictures fill the screen News crews are arrested And attempt to suppress The negative mirror image Of what we supposedly stand for. Reprehensible behavior is celebrated As hell broke luce. We watch helplessly Cruelty only humans are capable of. Would we tempt fate to intervene? Or be the cowards  Knowing nothing changes  Until the time  When time is no more? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Topic-Dave Coon Pic-Tyler Myrth Pic guesses: Overlook, Aerial view, Down in the Valley, Inheritance, High Ground, 

Paparazzi (Blogophilia 11.13)

Friday night Watching the flickering screen  Paparazzi hounding couples on a sidewalk Cold.  Distant. Unhappy. VanCleef and Arpels on their ankles Liquor of the month on lips Knowing it will all come to an end It's a business relationship only Not personal They want to fly away I never cared for what they do. I never cared for what they know. The rich images shine out Selling image of "freedom" And lust you can have No rules, but no progress They are not like me, They are just like me Prisoners of their own circumstances Would I take that path? In a heartbeat, I would... Not.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Topic-Jessica Brooke Pic-Diana Jillian Pic Guesses-Fly away (in blog) bird on a wire, ET revisited, Up, Dream, float away, higher, drifting in the wind

Late Monday Night (Blogophilia 10.13)

Monday night and it's late. The Busch cans are stacked on the table in front of me and the last thing  I remember is  a fast food law commercial before drifting off. "Over $1 Billion recovered. Call today to get your best settlement..." ******************************************************** I find myself in a large room, maybe a warehouse. A stack of storage containers sits in the corner of the room, each contains a dream.  Eenie, Meenie, meinie, moe. I choose a pink one, the second one from the top. The effort it takes to pull it out is exhausting. I hesitate briefly. Is it showtime in my dreams? Will it be comedy or tragedy? The room goes dark. A light flickers to my right and I enter it. I am in a river gorge, Palisades Shoals. Teenagers are climbing the cliff that runs along the bank. At the base is a group of girls dressed only in twelve-pack beer cartons, daring each other to jump naked into the water. Some boys nearby overheard and began to cheer: "Show us!
