The Artificial Horizon

Playing quietly through the fir tree and eking through the dirty pane
Patchy sunlight dapples the stained carpeting

Cackle and squeak, the discord of the birds
They must have missed their song lessons

Dark and bitter is my brew
Pulling moisture from my hungry mouth even as is sates with its warmth

An ancient text lies before me common words, uncommon truth
It is my manna from heaven

The clock looks like an artificial horizon
Telling me that I’m flying straight

you're either weird or brilliant. I haven't figured out which.

Thanks for reading a married person's blog.

I could be brilliant... the jury is still out on that one. But it has already been concluded that I am weird. :)

Most brilliant people are weird.

weird also throws back to the post that no one thought worthy of commenting on... last saturdays: http://www.lonestrangers.com/blogs/paul/archives/000645.html

I thought it was good... of course I also thought that the dream post was good too.
