it was boiling simmering badgers - under the sundial eating cheese. “was here yesterday and was not,” blake said, or wanted to say; if you can imagine blake saying it, it is for sale, or addicted and or deceased. let just say it’s; words, action, camera, ready; good day. good friday. feeble as a dormouse, feeble as a skeleton in hell. tomorrow never knows; but it’s in the books, an eye for and eye, disaster on a stick. it was here; was yesterday, on a hook ________ hung out to dry. a stranger with stranger words for dinner, had no meaning. had a disposition; was and was not dragged away then burnt, disposed of, left then and now; and space; moving slowly, budding towards us. in a distance, reaching through time......................... it didn’t matter, it is too late. from somewhere a dog barks, splendor freezes. this is it, it’s time to ask; are the badgers ready yet? |
