UNTITLED A jug of wine Pack of smokes And Hector Berlioz on the hi-fi Oh the vibrations Broken rhythms The now in perfect oblivion Imagination in isolation Smoke thick enough To cloud the eyes to choke Sips of wine revive And elicit after a spell Go to hell! With this attitude Words are thrown freely Carelessly on the paper Amazing the results One wonders about the greats How much stoned poetry? Dave Austin

Sheesh... Maybe Arcane, esoteric, or "three sheets to the wind", very drunk, Daver? Yesterday I tried sending you a painting. Dang, I don't have the right packaging.:( I got help wrapping it. I'd said that sandwiching it between wide cardboard sides would make it too awkward. They know me at the post office cause of my fondness for bubble wrap, now they think I'm a cardboard nut. I will minimize it, It barely fit into the backseat of my car. Hugs, Mikki :)

I hate rock, but it sounds pretty good with a pint of Jim Beam and a litre of Miller lite. Thanks for the visit. Love, daver
