I have lived upon the backside of a whiplash. These boys and men sit strewn along a renovated corridor; they swap nickels and dimes and wisdom and wine – they know that there is no time like the present to ensure that a future without regrets will never come. I lay with them, but am not one with them; an outsider who comes around to play every once in a while: a negligible distraction. There is a resonance to their laughter. They speak with the same voice and body of experience, and they could never know what awaits them around that corner, unless, of course, we are talking about this corner, in which case, they all know what awaits them; namely, a drinking fountain. They want me to spit knowledge and truth like they know I can supply. They want answers when I offer only questions, and there is a metaphor (a simile, at least) in that drinking fountain, somewhere, but I’m not looking for it, so I will never find it. I guess there it is. This moment is lost to me forever. ... more Aesthetic Psychosis Aesthetic Psychosis Wed, 18 Mar 2009 17:04:49 GMT /section-391-aesthetic-psychosis#comments 1 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/post.php/article/7689 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/feed.php/article/7689 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A7689 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-7745-a-serious-question-why-is-this-not-a-poem https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-7745-a-serious-question-why-is-this-not-a-poem (No, i'm not kidding.
