My thoughts are like cars
on freeways into metroplexes
My pen is the exit
traffic depends on their complexities
on freeways into metroplexes
My pen is the exit
traffic depends on their complexities
If I listen to the drum of my heart
I can become a mixmaster
Move the crowd when the music starts
let the traffic become two turntables

Then God is Kool Herc
and he put Hotel California
on the right
and We're All In The Same Gang
on the left
and made me
The Crossfade Between Cultural Realities.

and just when the heat, stress
and tension becomes as hot as
Dallas in summer he fades into
It's a Family Affair by
Sly and The Family Stone
then I see him cruising Twilight
in a convertible.

Words appear before your eyes
and invite dances of minds
then I hear Flashlight by Parliament
and wish for a moment I was Third Eye Blind
A Poem arrives at its destination
once again everything in the world is fine.

This is one of your very best Theron. I love the line '...and made me The Crossfade between Cultural Realities...'. Music, photo and words are the perfect compliments to each other. Well done.
ReplyDeleteVery Kool, dude. One of your better poems. Took me on ride.

ReplyDelete"The Crossfade Between Cultural Realities" When it comes to traffic, this is the best alternative to road rage I have ever heard. Seriously, good stuff with references to a few in my iTunes library.
ReplyDeleteInteresting way to arrive out of a block... nice verse. I liked the way you have used common things to arrive at a lovely verse...
