Opening Night (in post modernism)
June 12th, 2007
Emotions run high in the room
From the labyrinth of creation
to the product of sensation–
I’ve been here before
It’s such a beautiful natural high
Toast to the friends and faces
A kiss, a glance from a new stranger,
…an inspiration: was there ever an old stranger?..
The presence of love in saturation
The room’s a jade green dagger
Trimming eyes from all the virulent matter;
It’s only the front that counts
–So good to see you, glad you could come–
Blissful ignorance, happily embraced!
My pertinacity monkey glues me to the scene
like mid day drivers to a train wrecked dream
I have a headache from cheap wine and cigarettes
It’s the same pack of gold for the past two months
I’ll soon discard because it’s going bad
The cynicism of the situation amuses me
I ran the day before so I can take deeper drag
I’ll run the day after,
So I can reach purgatory in the temple of my mind
It’s all a matter of experiences,
It’s all a matter of creation that makes me think
what coerces people into one?
Why is the monetary value of creation so low,
and ceding to temptation so high?
“Love needs a transfusion, let’s shoot it full of wine; fishing for a good time starts with throwing in your line.” –Tom Waits, “New Coat of Paint”…from my friend’s opening night of “Even the Sun Cried.” I just found my old Neil, Cash, and Dylan cd’s so you might get a respite from Waits…maybe.

If more people asked this question I think that the world would be a better place.

That creative gene is so undervalued in our society…I wish more people would try to dive into it. The play was brilliant and the characters were so complex. It was such a pleasure writing this for my friend.

“Toast to the friends and faces”
- Toast indeed my friend. Cheers to friendship!
“Why is the monetary value of creation so low,
and ceding to temptation so high?”
- the world is full of paradoxes.
I think I’mgetting the hang of the poetry thing haha.
Pax et bonum.

I am glad I have affected your life positively, even if it’s more appreciation of poetry!
