“Flipping the Bluebirds” There’s no point playing Norwegian Wood when your keyboard’s like a gun calling murdering all your darlings for other meaningful glories lavender doesn’t sit well when violet’s riddled story winds up the beat dodging silver bullets like sunshine dancing across the governance board and the soft-shoe watch showered with confetti koans like playing knuckles for marbled sleuths, and keystone cops correct and in their proper place kicking back Love, flips bluebirds easily like sunshine dancing all Bonnie and Clyde across the blackbird’s wing (LadyLabyrinth / 2022) “Feel It Still”/ Pomplamoose https://youtu.be/L39swdLBxvw "Extreme Ways"/Pomplamoose https://youtu.be/Nn6n1rLpvgo Remington https://www.wideners.com/blog/the-guns-of-bonnie-and-clyde/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E._Remington_and_Sons Remington guns, Remington typewriters Kill your darlings “Kill your darlings” is a common piece of advice given by experienced writers. You kill your darlings when you decide to get rid of an unnecessary storyline, character, or sentences in a piece of creative writing—elements you may have worked hard to create but that must be removed for the sake of your overall story."

You kill the darlings before they kill you. Love the storyline and the silver bullets.

regarding the silver bullets, maybe I should hold the mirror up to the perps/gangsters, but probably no reflection... you'll have to excuse me while I go sharpen my teeth.
