Notes About The Poem

Palais Royal

Ah we so crave the sanity
existence must be put in a box
thus we will  do all
for such happiness in a box
a creation in ways
of akia
we will drive 100km for a box
building our Swedish dreams
gangnan style
thousands consuming meatballs
no bull
In this crowd I smile in loneliness
floundering close to the sea

Life seems to have fled
the light seems to grow dim
nightmares seep into my torso
I know there is not much time left
before I too am dropped in a box
I ponder
as white rose petals fall at the end of spring
would any lover come to me
take my one arm
as I walk my lobster
In the garden of insanities dream

oh sexy lady
where art thou?

- I hate Swedish solutions ... Do you know how many Swedes need to change a light bulb? - Five! - One to hold the bulb, and four to turn the house around - :))) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Gangnan style! This is a little bit insane because when I walk my lobster, he nips at my ankles!
