Dream of a Vanilla Sky (Free verse) by smlink84

Dream of a Vanilla Sky Moderated Infatuation controlled By the Vanilla Sky, A man walks through the autumn breeze With two blind eyes Bound together, in old straw and twine. The third eye is between his lips and ears Existing but invisible. The last leaf of autumn falls In his left pocket, His shirt is torn and his feet are Blistered. He carries tears with the wasted years, His hair is white Like the first snowfall of the winter, Left untouched. The sky grows darker But the man walks and walks With his assortment of belongings, Dreaming old and new fantasies…. Wanton face and the pale skin, Foils with the lewd colors Of an autumn wind yet to be born. He has a beard now And he lies still, You can see him there Lying on the gravel on his back, Watch the little maggots Enjoy a delightful five star meal. The maggots are white Just like his hair, Under the Vanilla Sky.

I have thus far refrained from noting that your pen-name (minus dashes, equal-signs, and underscore) is the title of a bad action television series directed by James Cameron. I have no desire to use such a weapon - which, incidentally, is banned under the provisions of the famous Transatlantic Treaty Against Improper & Sardonic References to Our Respective Cultures signed by our two countries in 1976, a treaty already strained to the point of breaking by our endless caricatures of your country's systems of dental hygiene and education, and by the constant portrayal of Americans as gung-ho, jerky-eating illiterates on your hilarious and unavoidable BBC sitcoms. I implore you, then, to point your tanks in some other direction (France, perhaps,) lest I should say something we both regret. Thank you.
