Description

ha ha ha ha this was fun. try it yourself... ******************************* The phone rings again, Energy drain, Only stress to gain Throbbing in my brain, Goes against the grain for work is my bane. I'd rather run in rain or be on a plane, run over by a train Thrown through a glass pane Threading fingers through a lion's mane Have its claws dig in my vein Be driven insane So I must abstain to attain champagne, then explain why my humane campaign Is slain. Feel my pain!

I've never encountered any (English) poetry with so many a word in forced rhyming and still making a lot of sense! Excellent. Reminds me of my English teacher's favourite "the rain in spain falls mainly on the plain" LOL!

Nietzsche found the origin of the metrical foot in walking. So to with rhythm, which the foot measures. Nietzsche dances on the page. In the so-called First World, and particularly in the United States, walking by free citizens is in its last throes. The beat is techonologically derived and passive. In most American music rhythm is vicarious. Television (as can be seen with the sound off) is a jumble of images every so often interrupted by commercial drumming. Rhyme is not a crime. Real rhythm takes time. Some people still walk before they talk. There are growing statistics of immigrant workers, mostly Mexican, walking along highways in los Estados Unidos being killed by cars and trucks. They are mostly walking to work. Some of these are homicides. Perhaps one will title this little episode (technically a conceit were it prose) "Pancho Villa Road" What do you think? Is it humorous enough for you?
