motley I: sweet sour

motley I: sweet sour

---------

[s]ensations sweet,
[f]elt in the blood, and felt
along the heart
---Keats
---------

grizzly
pairs goldilocks
and three bummy
bears musical
chairs geeks four squares
love
affairs downstairs/
up-

------

chocolate
cream sans caramel
sauce buttered
one
camel boss oil
of exxon lost
lawrence
of olivier perrier curbs
in whey
christmas day in-flight
delay ...

Do what?

Wow, Chuck, you just totally left me in the dust with this one! 4 *'s just for utter confusion! ~Jess ---------------------------------------------------- "Maybe in your vision, you've seen how omniscient is slightly less than divine.

Hey, guy ... and gal, thanx

By the way, this one's for sipping, not for gulp. A challenge lies within. A disconnect from logic's much required for allowing this piece entry to being understood. The message(s) comes through feeling, through body ... and not through/from/over head. Otherwise the wisdom springs too subtly, too ghostly, and therefore by a reader cleanly missed. Yours, Chuck PS: There's much to take from this piece. And by the way, my wife loves it. To an embarrassing (perhaps alarming) extent, I might add. And she gets it. Really. could it be that requirement for an under- standing of this piece is ... that one must first live for a time with the author? goodness graish'n heaven forbid!

sugar-coating reality??

Just a thought that popped into my head. It's going to take many reads to see it, but the challenge is intriguing! I'm trying to see the correlation between fairy tale fantasies, and reality (worldwide problems...oil, messed up flights, etc..) Whatever this is about, I'm sure it's quite profound, and I can't wait to either figure it out, or find out the answer. Nice job, Chuckles. :~) ~Jess ---------------------------------------------------- "Just 'cause you have one, doesn't mean you need to be one....."

Let ...

the correlations float to you ... of their own volition. Like wisps, they're there/not there---and here/not here. My wife seems to think my motleys are among my best work, and I of course agree. And how could I not? She is my wife, after all. Thanx, Jess, Chuck PS: If you try too hard to pull the multitude of ghosts---some of which outright contradict others---that ephemerally/transiently/evanescently live within this piece to you, the trying itself will discourage their (wispy) appearance. Sadly.
