F a M O U S For W-H-A-T

“I wear the chain I forged in life,” replied the ghost, “I made it link by link, and yard by yard; I girded it on of my own free will, and of my own free will I wore it.” — Marley in Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol “Why is the rum gone?” “True enough, the compass does not point North… it points to the thing you want most in the world” — Jack Sparrow, Pirates of the Caribbean f a m o u s for w-h-a-t what’s friendship, when famous — drip drip drip of diamonds gold that clamors and clangs like a Marley ghost (the knockers froth) a revolving door, an arrow North West East South Cupid’s conundrum— a whirring compass, C-a-p-t-a-i-n Sparrow’s birds spinning on a clothesline dropping sans five and dime w-a-s-t-i-n-g your time in a party b-u-s t white powder angel dust silk stockings posing on seats s-m-e-l-l-s of feet hair tossed like a Caesar salad jaded olives, glitter dressing and who w-o-n your underpants nothing left underneath… 11/26/2019

Love it. Such stunning imagery and pointed slams at what ultimately comes to nothingness, ala 'Paris Hiltonism.' Thanks, Gershon

Wow, this one just really blew me away. I love the creativity in this and the abstract paring of these two fictional characters along with everything else you have tossed in here...even the underpants someone won. Too much, too cool, very Kim. :)
