i wish it wasn\'t a slice of your current life, but hey... you\'re being honest, which is the IMPORTANT thing. i really, really LOVE the format. the downward reading makes me think of drips - so not just the words, but the form create an image in the reader\'s mind. the words, though, create a visual AS WELL AS an emotional image. i can sense the \'warm cold\' and the \'cold cold\' - maybe external temps, but i\'m thinking more of what you\'re feeling inside. also, i like the personification of \'the razor smiles\' as if it\'s taking on lifelike actions...
very cool, Keith. i LIKE this style, and hope to see more.
Thank you for the complement on the creative side. I remember reading a LITTLE bit about haiku. Its an ancient Japanese style of poetry written by someone who was about to commit ritualistic suicide. It is generally very short, very pure, very clean, and while using as few words as possible very full of imagery. This is not a haiku, nor even written in its style, but i thought i would use some of its influence in this peace.
now for the why.
I know that i am about to receive a huge virtual smack for this, but i have not taken my medicine in 5 days. Just took it this morning. Part my fault, part insurance fault, part Doc fault. My Doc had prescribed a dose that required me to break the pill in half and take one and a half a day. So i needed 45 pills for a one month RX. Insurance would not cover that without the Doc calling in to verify it. It was a late Friday. The Doc would not be open till Monday and I had No meds at the time. So the pharmacy said that they would fill it at the prescribed strength, with a 30 day supply. So i told them to do it. I called the Doc, left a message, and promptly forgot about it. The Doc never called back, and i ran out of meds early. I know that if you do the math i should have run out of meds with 15 days to go. Well, sometimes i still do forget to take them..... so i ended up with \"extra\" days.
I Felt so wierd yesterday. Like Picaso invaded my brain and applied his vision of art into my entire thought process. I was almost certain that a Fox in sox, sitting on a box would tell me to try green eggs and ham. Well, not really but you get the idea.
