Dorothy’s eyes fell onto her plate.
Said one to the other, we’re gonna be late.
They rolled off the table and onto the street.
Dorothy never saw them again
She had to feel for her meat....

predominance
is of moment
content and now
shape and form
of social context
to market illusion
freedoms in time

A guy wore a dress for all to see
On TV, he was called Dorothy
To his pals he was Mike
Girdles he disliked
On set, he would sit down to pee.

Gate to adventures 
Portal to foreign lands,
That mystical caress 
The calm of sunset
And the flame of brilliance,
Stare not for too long,
Unless you give into a trans,
And live your life
Chasing unpromised beauty....

Once upon a time,

There was 

A little girl 

Named Dorothy

From Kansas

Knowing a place

Called Oz

Wearing her

Bright ruby red slippers

Clicking ,clanging, clashing and chanting,

‘Follow the yellow-brick road’...

Her diminished and shading features
As if shrouded within a cocoon or now masked
Graduations of colour that death was successively imposing on her motionless features
Dimming her bouquet of red flowers that seem to float away from her...

Despite the happy ending
Miss Gulch won't fade away
like a rumble of thunder.
She'll clutch the sheriffs order,
Pester Em and Henry
until Toto lies as still as sky
after a cyclone,
and Dorothy realizes
Glinda was a very wicked witch....

Unlike an opera Diva,
  a writer hides his age

Scores to bear eternal youth,
  a Contralto dies on stage

Ink reclaims the Land of Oz,
  Dorothy to know

Toto barks—old lyrics march,
  Peter Pan aglow

Daughter, friend, writer, teacher 
Daughter of Eternal God, Ms. Dorothy Ann 
Lover of colors White and Green 
Who fears Eternal God and to sin 
I would like to see Father Christ again, Holy land, London and Hawaii

They are coming to take me away ha ha
Witches, goblins and ghosts that I saw.
Did you see the lions, tigers and bears? Oh, my!
I stared at Kansas girl and started to sigh.
You’re in the wrong fairy tale, I hope you know.
Knew I was wrong as the wind started to blow....

ms dorothy was squatting at 17
We did not mind
We were doing our own squatting at 19

It was a good day to take up residence
We watched her move in
Glad she had found her own place

The drug dealers might scare her off later
But for right now, on this beautiful day
She had a place

We applauded her for it...

The artist in me myself instinctively tracing 
work a share miseries to inspiration making

Shrouded within my cocoon of slashing brush strokes
lost lovely my Dorothy gently softly releases her yokes

Watching graduations of deaths cold colours on her lovely face
ship me lost anchor my heart lost love no longer in her embrace...

I found out that we have to grow up,
That the greatest fall of all is when I can't get enough,
When my eyes are blinded by this world making me corrupt,
When all that matters is me my life went to my heart or head instead,
Of just physically,
As the dreams die you feel comfort at home,
It's a place to set sight on your own....
