midnight

"I'm goin' where the sun keeps shinin'
Through the pourin' rain
Goin' where the weather suits my clothes
Bankin' off of the northeast winds
Sailin' on a summer breeze
And skippin' over the ocean like a stone"

from song Everbody's talkin' by Fred Neil, featured in film 'Midnight Cowboy'

Listen to poem:

It's context, Baby! context, As each day is made. What it be, is what you want to see, What you're wearin', who's a carin', Sets the tone, the contrast zone, on canvas sown. By the beholder a wearin' rosy shades, Making it what you want to feel, As such, a beautiful day dawns.

Very nice, John! Truly is context for we can not be pleasing to everyone. Funny was the lady on an Alaskan cruise. We were near the iceberg and she’s wearing a Summer dress.
