Words, like nature, half reveal and half conceal the soul within.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
One speaks of a dream
Further downstream
paddles abandoned
The boat lifeless
And bed empty
dream
A shadow
fell in love
With a whisper
Their romance
remained
A secret
Of the
Quiet
World
whisper
I aim to
Satisfy
But with my
questionable
marksmanship
I’m liable to
Mystify
satisfy
Keep’em moist
Keep’em wet
Lick’em now
Don’t forget
Eye contact
All the while
So compulsive
It’s repulsive
…tribute to that guy on the bus who constantly licks his lips.

Screw your
Unyielding franchise
I’m fast
when I need to be
But I’m
Furious at all speeds
furious
My deepest desire
You, me
And some
piano wire
piano
He made not a sound
So, how did I know where to go?
There on the ground
In the early morning snow
Was a trail of untouched pancakes
Leading to the haunted bungalow
… excerpt from The Ballad of the Breakfast Bandit

Lordy! I have had fantasies like “Piano” – have to admit they’ve disappeared since retirement! And “Furious” tickled me!! Thanks for a morning wake up that was better than caffeine!

I’m hoping I have the reduction in said fantasies 🤣 but the people I work with don’t help.
I don’t understand the allure of that franchise. How is it still going!?! Thanks for the message.

Thanks, Ken!
These little snippets are such fun to write. Could be my lack of focus 😂
Why do they keep making those movies? I’ll never understand.

Like Murray Perahia on the piano keys, you play your piano wire words so brilliantly.
