Life on the windward side of our island,
at times, the tradewinds persuade downpour,
still, the sun light's gods and goddesses tanned.
Sailboats adrift, surfers thrill life ashore,
nightlife widespread mingling tingles aura,
at times, the tradewinds persuade downpour,
Fauna ground or inflight abound flora,
gossamers swaying entertain loved ones,
nightlife widespread mingling tingles aura,
Albatross' solitaries north isle runs,
regulars gadflies surrealists' gawking,
gossamers swaying entertain loved ones,
Infamy physicist Stephen Hawking,
come visit a true Paradise like those,
regulars gadflies surrealists' gawking,
Cameras clicking smiling faces pose,
life on the windward side of our island,
come visit a true Paradise like those,
still, the sun light's gods and goddesses tanned.

Other violence this world
There human flames ceased
Sick swan six
With circles some melancholy
Doctor failure some
Different universe copy soul
Wrapped little body respect
About shoulders stopped arms
Flash doubles wife
Early patient
Stopped her crown
Simple modern
Loop provided effect
While hate challenge simple.
[This was my first attempt at the "cut-up technique", a surrealist technique coined by many early surrealists, including William S. Burroughs, an obvious influence on my work.]

The Reckless Sleeper
Copyright July 16th 2009 Corinne Curcio
A dream - the landscape
Rambunctious subconscious
Plays hide and seek with your soul
You look for clarity
A crumb of charity
Something to swallow whole
But those in the know look backwards
Light a candle and brighten the sky
The mirror within offers a view
Reckless Sleeper explains it all for you
Dada is ca-ca
And they all agree
Don la chapeau without care
Surrealists love
The trickery of
Art as a farce laid bare
And those in the know look forward
Eat an apple or bake in a pie
The mirror within offers a view
Reckless Sleeper explains it all for you
Twirl me around, Rene Magritte
Pas de deux on the Rue de la Paix
Let's glide down the Seine
Lift your umbrella again
I think it might rain today
And those in the know look sideways
Tie a bow on a bird – watch it fly
The mirror within offers a view
Reckless Sleeper explains it all for you
Based on the painting "The Reckless Sleeper" by Rene Magritte
