Realizing with Real Eyes the I of the Storm MUST be a Trooper

When Life Is A Meme

like a selfie 
that wasn’t taken
I’m the guy in the street

I know 
you’re captioning me
from your side of the road

and the shops 
with their massive eyes
are making me too viral

Premium Member Say Dog See Dog

Say Dog See Dog 
By David J Walker

How much easier it would be
If dreams came with closed captioning
And a laugh-track 
and perhaps Applause
 at appropriate intervals 

A deep-voiced narrator 
and serious music
Could help explain each frame in 
Historic context 
of tonight’s documentary

And if the editor could include
soft dissolves Between transition in scenes 
I could better Resolve discrepancies 
in timelines

Say Dog
	See Dog
Comes to mind 
if I were writing the script
For this double feature 

And by the way
Black & White is dramatic 
	But I would shoot in color


Bbc Closed-Captioning

The BBC claims before long
The faeries will rescue Hong Kong
Like Bangladesh*
Faeries refresh
Plus Bojo says Trump can't be wrong!

28.VI.20 18:00 "Bangladesh is
heavily reliant upon faeries to
transport people ……"

Closed Captioning

Don Key went hither, thither and yon
Plowing fur rows to the crack of Dawn
From March to December
This upstanding member
Served as a yokel phenomenon

Moon Rising

Sailing thru the night watching the tower light.  I see the moon rising coming into a view of pure delight.  
The clouds expressing their songs of a romantic twilight.  A word of love, enchantment, captioning a moment of paradise.  As we see the moon rising tonight.
