Our Daily Planet - Read All About It!

superman - wiki

and where we went lent rent 

rent was due for the air we breathe 

is said to be  filled with every 

variation of me and you 

I had no idea what to say 

I opened a beer after getting home from a long day 

and turning to go yet half turning stay 

tomorrow isn't here ... ever 

so here I save myself 

tangled up in a sense of now 

wondering how the muse finds 

me changing my clothes 

back into being human again 

or some other facsimile 

of where to bend/contort myself 

to wearing a smile of " it will be alright " with buttered popcorn 

and licorice whips I prefer the cherry but that is secondary 

to the movie the movie is always about to begin and I cannot wait 

to hunt for Easter eggs and little figurines in birdhouses 

people have left along the path to salvation or desperation 

Phone Booths once lined the streets, hey you

know Superman needed a place to transform

3 Doors down singing Kryptonite

"If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman"

read all about it in the Sunday  paper

soaring the skies,  in a planetary revolution

will humans ever find a peaceful solution

high above the city lights, a new vision

forms in my mind...

I'll deliver dream seeds to those in need

giving them a reason to believe...

plant them on the river's edge

a hundred lanterns sparkle in the sky

make a wish, on a sandman's high

dancing under moonbeams

do you want to 

want to what 

I dunno, anything 

that's a lot to handle 

well try me 

I am not thirsty right now 

okay how about a sip 

fair enough 

wow salty with sweet note finishes 

yes comes from being Italian 

you smirk and shhh 

here comes the movie 

 <houselights flickers thunder appears thrown somewhere it wasn't supposed to be> 

 (scene 1) 

"it was a dark and stormy night" 

I am here 

a Sun and Moon fancier 

the places drumming takes me 

hands outstretched 

in the squint eyed late light of a long day 

palms to wildflowers 

wading waiting 

for when 

memory 

is scented 

with you again 

 meanwhile superman said to Lois

any house with you will do 

and they took a British cab 

and sped off in taupe colored clothes 

with two suitcases and feather boas 

in tow ...

The Planetarium has a free show tonight

offering celestial realism to the tune

of Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon"

I said to you  "Hey, I hate to burst their bubble,

but there is a full moon illuminating the sky

with more than  a hundred stars crossing

the stage of enlightenment...

We laughed as Superman and Lois are

all about reality in a world of surrealism

pass the popcorn, I like it warm it tastes

fresher that way...

You know when words melt together they

form hot poetry...there's a lot written

between the lines..it's the movement

of the tide, the ebb and flow of the

healing waters...

poem-ing makes me smile the world

seems a bit brighter even in those

places cloaked with darkness...

sometimes thunder is thrown in the

most unusual places...it's the

lightning that creates energy...

shhh...(scene 2)

"After the STorm"

 feather boas and a suitcase of dreams..

swing set at night tag your it feet poking at stars
handing off time to how words mimic the cycle of rain ...
