Here comes my 19th nervous breakdown : [Rolling stones]

 

 

 Here comes my 19th nervous breakdown : [Rolling stones]

Frizzle, frazzle

Screaming lights

Blind, befuddle and dazzle

To confusion

Like bees buzzing in the brain

Electricity electric

Red and yellow

Sizzle

Shock waves sudden

Lightening blue

Striking white

Piercing

Burning

Turning

Dark into fire

Spinning upward

Downward speeding

Thoughts

Swirling into dizzy

Eyes closing

Not to see

Reality losing

Falling

Into

Insanity

OOH this is sizzling like the sudden affliction

Ann of Norway in the ear to the sound of a firework unawares, as it fizzles and pops with such intensity just close by and frightens the living daylights out of one, you leave me shock-stricken and limp like a worn out rag frazzled at the edges and blackened by the charred masses of the explosions. That's what Longobardolino, you take us with you in your powerfully evocative drama and we know more what it is like than we wish on any other living thing. Annuccia
