Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

Backbone balancing
is not as easy as it looks.
No circus band or pole.
No capes or ooos and ahhhs,
to make you forget your mortality.

You gotta be tough about it.
There's no show to hide in here.
You gotta lie still
under the march of time,
let spats of despair, tromp on you.

You gotta ravish nothingness.
Make it more
than endless minutes spent.
Listening to your heart beating effortlessly,
you gotta be flat, in three quarter time.

do I hear a waltz?
may I have this dance?

Indeed!!!!!

how about a Tango?

cool poem, hester. you are the goddess of groove.

~westie

very hip. the title is perfect for the piece.

you've got the right idea, hester.....if we can turn our anguish into
music we can sing a happy song....we can dance the blues away....
So....Keep singin' and dancin', girl........like the language you chose...

peace out......steve

you gotta be flat
no spiny thorns, not sharp
smooth to slip through the diatribe

okay, got that

my band director always used to say to me: 'If you don't C sharp then you will B flat."

this never made any sense to me because if you sharp the C you have a D flat, not a B flat.

but it sounds good I guess. And it's probably good advice if you are crossing the street. C you later, my sharp judih.
