Gold leaf Dreams

In a dreamy state, Cav. This is a different style, and I like it. Seems a combination of many things--the water babies of yesterday.

I'm experimenting with more surrealism and obscurity. Maybe it was Big Fish that gave me the 'bug'.

Lightwizard loved Big Fish. Called it an allegory.

Experiment away, Tesla. Hee, hee!

LW can always put it into words when they escape me. That's why I would like to see a double feature of Big Fish and O Brother Where Art Thou, for the allegory. Meh, I'm fielding and quoting many December caterings, so my mind is cluttered with day to day nonsense.

Right, Cav. The day to day nonsense!

Ode to the gold leaf of my new/used car:

Ah, it's a catered affair,
With moon roof and champagne for hair.

The key turns--it starts
The brakes--Richard Stark

It hums and and it runs anywhere.

Out-of-body, my friend. An exquisite poem!

Errr.umm.. I am unable to understand it. Cav, what are you trying to say here ?

It's basically just a surreal fantasy Gautam, a mental break from the day to day. There is some wordplay, 'coral' is the term for lobster roe, so I chose 'lobstelle', 'elle' being French for 'she'. Lobsters are also technichally insects, and few are more revered. 'We'll call it a hike/au naturel', play on words, 'hike' as in a nature walk, and 'hike up your skirt', 'au naturel', naked. Sex in the outdoors. Like many obscure poems, it all comes down to sex in the end.

well then...great poem!

willow, I suppose you can now figure out what "diving for coral" means, heh heh.

<shakes his head> Still can't understand..sorry..maybe I will take it home and read it just before going to bed

which makes me love it all the more :wink:
