From The Clouds Collection: Regarding The Blue


And regarding the blue.  The cloudless sky, the deep seas.  The shades.  The blue eyes that stare unknowingly.  Dumbly, sadly.  Unaware of their insight, unaware of their accessible knowledge, distracted by vanity and mirrors.  The reflective properties of the operation, creating illusions and disappearances.  Invisible to airplanes and drones and telescopes.  No naked eye has a chance, regardless of color.  Even ambervision is a lie.  Our electronics are inferior, only imagination and art can come close to the truth.  And the Word, of course, which speaks of being swept up into skies.  The major and minor prophets told of all this.  Centuries prior.  That is the truth of it.

Then the moods.  The blue tones and tunes.  The blue notes, and Birdland.  Miles.  Noise is the opposite of music.  The contrast of silence and breaks.  Even within a duo, a trio, four, or more.  Each instrument and voice can be separate and one at the same time, adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing.  The math is exponential, it has grown beyond the squares.  Angles of light and geometry, changing the blue.

First, the Navy arrives.  Regal and stoic, like the aristocrats.  The royals actually follow, lighter, flashier.  The Caribbean has its own color, leisurly and indescribable.  Powder is next, smooth like silk.  Soft.  Wait patiently for midnight my dear, the color of space.

While Joni Mitchell's coyote howls, the thunder rolls.  She is blue no longer.

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...
