trains, cameras and me

Post by saw » September 8th, 2015, 12:24 pm

as I continued to write I felt my health coming back
I was sliced into smithereens of burnt sienna
when I picked up the Cross pen ( no, it wasn't mad)
I was.............clicked the cartridge into place

revelation number 1...guns and pens
both have cartridges that need to be
clicked into place to do the thing they do,
fire away at the world

sorry for the diversion, back to the fragmentation,
the components that needed to gel, it's like hocus pocus
sometimes how the picture appears like a magic 8 ball
but it does, so I'd have to say my life has been Polaroid

this is what I'm talking about, box cars of thoughts
randomly coupled, not related by contents of cargo
but rolling along down steel rails together just the same,
they have this complicated give and take relationship

aaah, now i see where the expression, train of thought
came from...so...if a train leaves my mind on a Tuesday
at 6:24 am going south at a million miles an hour
what time will the enlightenment arrive back home ?
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading

cracked me up - the answer to your question depends on the amount of humidity in the air at the time of transit - 8)
Doll, you may have found a place of rest but I'm still on the trail.
