UNTITLED

A jug of wine
Pack of smokes
And Hector Berlioz on the hi-fi

Oh the vibrations
Broken rhythms
The now in perfect oblivion

Imagination in isolation
Smoke thick enough
To cloud the eyes      to choke

Sips of wine revive
And elicit after a spell
Go to hell!

With this attitude
Words are thrown freely
Carelessly on the paper

Amazing the results
One wonders about the greats
How much stoned poetry?

Sheesh... Maybe Arcane, esoteric, or "three sheets to the wind", very drunk, Daver? Yesterday I tried sending you a painting. Dang, I don't have the right packaging.:( I got help wrapping it. I'd said that sandwiching it between wide cardboard sides would make it too awkward. They know me at the post office cause of my fondness for bubble wrap, now they think I'm a cardboard nut. I will minimize it, It barely fit into the backseat of my car. Hugs, Mikki :)

I hate rock, but it sounds pretty good with a pint of Jim Beam and a litre of Miller lite. Thanks for the visit. Love, daver
