why are we here?
for me or for them?
why do we laugh?
because we remember or forget?
why do we hurt?
because we want to smile again?
why do we rage?
because we need them?
why are we dead?
because we did none of the above
--------------------
carnival night
I'm here
and not there
not quite anyway
not white
not black
no spite
just quiet
with a beer
and no bite
people milling
tautly willing
thronging
cobbled streets
dubious feet
downing wheat
smiling sweet
crunching meat
forgetting
sweating
abetting
a new world
gently curled
unfurled
around the edges
of her new summer dress
pink with pain
no room for a brain
swaying
again and again
trying in vain
to get home
to what never was
hoegarden on the house
any takers?

the carnival night was beautiful...just what I wanted to write...U penned it for me!thanks:)
nice. very 'classic inkblot' stuff ... i like :)
back to old skool writing again?
actually there was something sly and amusing about this post
Those carnival nights with people milling on cobblestone with impossible sights and sounds are a wonderful placebo. Me liked.
yashita: do write it....and thank you
prerona: 'classic ' eh? bowing gracefully- or trying at any rate :)
san: shall I throw in a snigger :D
doc: placebo is about right.
and the allons really work for me.
The first part was awesome ..
Esp the way it rounded up ..
"why are we dead?

i got soooooooooo pissed on hoegarden, BUT that is another story.
yup, i have nooo idea what's going on. however, i like the simplicity, first part especially. the second made me think of Harlequin and Columbine, though i'm not certain as to why.
aria: yes, that's the point.
cj: tell me more!
shadowlor: life's a pantomime of course, and we all wear masks...carnival, the pink- chasing columbine- bit of a story there- it's all startin to make sense innit?
feel dead, and yet I know I am alive, I am sure I am, or else I could hurt so much..
i guess i wouldn't say making sense so much as that it's changing from dark to dawn. and that, in and of itself, makes no sense. yay for me and my nonsensical self...bah
