A person, place, thing, or idea stamped there for eternity, posterity. A movie in solid state. 15 min of forever: cut out of time and squeezed into wood. ******************************************************************************* Just something in my notebook. The whole midnight blues(2nd Chorus) has to do with being in the middle of Jack Kerouac's Mexico City Blues ~242 Choruses~ and liking it alot, mimicking a bit of the style. Anyway this was written after a page-long incoherent essay about potential and kinetic ideas. it's 2:54 am, i have to get up at 10 or earlier to take a practice psat; in other words I'll fail it, but that's ok. ain't no thang... -dark.horse *Dark Horse #48 - "2 Poems from a thunderstorm" *Date: Thursday June 16 2:38am 1994 Midnight Blues 3rd Chorus on the rooftop, Arms autstreached Back arched to catch the falling rain face to the sky waiting for the lightning to take me ******************************************************************************* India India the cover exclaims the country? probably but maybe, just maybe the girl a chapter for her hair, sparkling dirty blonde 30 pages for her smile 20 for her eyes(bright blue) 40 for her thoughts someday her for me India: not quite a love poem, but more than a rememberance ******************************************************************************* Wrote both of those during the storms today, I feel like i should expand on them at some point.

(A response in free verse) a poem is just thoughts a picture of thoughts : a picture of your mind This? this is not a poem it is a spark that flows from my brain to the screen. The picture will fade before it can develop a reverse-Polaroid, the image makes way for new sparks new brains new ideas This is a fluid thought in a static world unreachable but for a screen and nothing without it... -dark.horse ============================================================================== Call Arsonist's Arsenal BBS the Mind Warp WHQ - (301) 208-0847 ==============================================================================
