From The Clouds Collection: The Perfect Spin


Paint the sky to greet the day.  It makes us happy and hopeful.  Colors and light, the perfect spin.  The sun has a solar responsibility.  The plants and trees have needs.  The seasonal rains, the critical light, the chloroplast.  Heat.  Only the sun makes the operation possible, that is without question.  Make way for the night, dusk makes us wild and shady.  Cover the stars or let us see the constellations.  Orion's belt, both dippers, Jupiter's moons.  Accomplishments and woes, reflections and rejections. Watch it fade, everyone has their favorite horizon.

Artists from the past.  The cave drawings, the rock carvings, the iron twistings.  The canvases and paints, the murals, beyond post modern.  Every medium, every type of creation.  All of it.  Clouds everywhere.  Angels ascending and decending.  To heaven and back, evidently.   

Inspiration is a dangerous thing, it must be carefully used.  Too much beauty is just too much.  It would make everyone crazy.  Take Picasso, for example.  Take Van Gogh.  Take O'Keefe.  Humility could be lost.

The brilliance of contrast.

Sources Say 5: The Fool's Century

  On the inside it's uglier than most can imagine.  Scandal, cover ups, hook ups, and pick-me-ups.  No telling what kinda narcotics float around, pill to pill, shot to shot, dose to dose, a pharmaceutical disaster.  Like Elvis without any music or Chuck Berry without any moves or Bruce Lee without any kicks or Speedy Gonzales without any speed.  Just dizzy, slurring pigment obsessed drunks, sources say. What does CBS stand for anyway?  Doesn't matter now, they've become irrelevant, a bleak reminder of last century.  The fool's century.  Duped and looped.  Now we know. We started in around the late 40's, picking fights, manipulation, sinister and crude.  Stealthy.  Spies with eyes in the skies.  Peace was never kept, it was invaded.  America was a TV show on CBS.

Sources Say 2: They Miss The Ink

  Related to manipulation abuse, but with a capitalistic twist.  They are paid by the manipulators and the victims of manipulation.  It's a winning business model until the walls come crumbling down on the street, until the curtains pull back.  You thought Oz was bad, at least they got you back to Kansas.  These journal jerks got nothing. Even a few of my sources have moved on, the wreck has left the place dim and disgruntled.  Evidently, what's-her-name stormed out of a staff meeting in tears, mumbling something about pills and booze and karaoke night.  Guess it didn't go well.  Everyone laughed at her when she left the room, seems a real toxic work environment.  They miss the ink. But that won't stop them from cheering on China, and for good reasons.  Ask the finance department.  Money's money, honey, and they got the name, the bull statue, the cufflinks.  They got smear jobs, insinuations, and an editorial board.  Somew...
