Of Dreams and Obscurity (Other) by wilco Holding on for dear life from the edge of a jagged cliff
whilst Johnny Cash plays ring of fire
on an out of tune guitar.
Greeting the end of the world from a box seat at Wrigley
whilst passing a joint to the gathering
people on the green lawn.
Smoking the last cigarette from a pack of Camel Lights
whilst a drunken leprechaun dances a jig
and bleeds blue shamrocks.
Standing on the banks of the Mississippi river at night
whilst the moon dangles lazily on a line
and falls into the water.
Are these the dreams of a seriously disturbed gentleman,
or the ramblings of an inebriated Irishman
who grew too tall to leap?
Up the ladder:
Ayudame (Help Me)
Down the ladder:
Arab Shepherd (a belief poem for Dovina)

A short story about a drunken leprechaun smoking a joint a Wrigley Field with Johnny Cash....it just might work.
No, they're mostly the dreams of a California despondent, following a man to the hills of Tennessee without a clue.
and do you think that the California despondent found any hope in the hills of Tennessee?
Absolutely! Do you not remember my passionate poems?
Of course. They are a constant source of inspiration to me. I must graciously extend my most humble apologies if I have offended you with my question. I suppose that I didn't understand that you were referring to yourself. :o)
By the way, I didn't mean for that to sound as smart-ass as it does. I really do like your poems.
I can't imagine anyone too tall to leap.
How does that work?
You see, there would be no limit to how tall you could be if all that you wanted to do was jump. To leap (a feat that I associate with small "low-to-the-ground" beings such as frogs, midgets, leprechauns, etc.) you would need to be, as mentioned, low to the ground. If you grew to extreme heights, I imagine that it would be impossible to leap....that you would simply jump.
Sure, I'll buy that.
Thanks. 435 view(s)
