insidious

I forgot all I knew

just so I could forget you.

 

Your cheap parlour tricks

that seduced my wandering eye..

 

I followed them..head panning along

within deadlong continuum for

intel's trance and chance' sake..

 

and, now--

in my former reality erased--

you struggle to re-create your former place.

Just coming back elP to say I always try to couch my comments in the realm of imagination too, hoping to get nearer to truths rather than a surgical assessment of construction. I am only an amateur after all !

Thanks, Ray..but, I tell you, I am more fond of some of the comments I read than my own writing sometimes..yours included.

Like a hall of mirrors, a Bruce Lee film elP. I love "deadlong continuum". Inspired. It has a power displayed within its brevity.
