Open To Interpretation
NPC
Oh,
Oh,
Are you your favorite
Avatar on stage?
And when I walked
Through your
Black glass doors
What game piece
Was handed me?
Some NPC?
Maybe truer we are
Inside than out.
Outside this game
Another iteration
Mapped.
We trace our selves
Along its paths
Only to return here
Where we both
Know who we are.
Caterpillar
Oh,
Oh,
At the first carnival
Was the caterpillar.
Its skin covered us over
And on we went on
A train ride in a
Black countryside fantastically hilly.
Walk And Run
Why walk
Why walk
When you can run?
Why talk
When you can sing?
Why thought
And not felt?
Why freeze
And not melt?
Bear
Oh,
Oh,
I remember the bear
That wasn't there
In the evergreen woods,
So well you teased me
With laughter's fear.
Escape
Some balloons
Escape from childhoods' hands
And never ever likely
Return where they began.
Skin
Sadly,
Sadly,
All things can be taken.
Is anyone ever skinless?
Oh,
Then some numbed fish
I would be in a frozen sea.
Burn Out The Night
Leave off?
From writing poems?
For sleep?
Never!
I set the night shift to work.
Faeries
Those ephemeral faeries
Those ephemeral faeries
Inhabiting the Romantics'
Grottos and bowers
Garlanded with
Sierra meadow mountain flowers
All too small
To trouble pages of history
Or those crowned with destiny.

...speaker is left behind like an NPC!...anyway, I took note of 'India House'...'oh, that's the East India Company'...Charles Lamb worked for the EIC for twenty five years, and his own life was a star crossed shambles, but he held on to poetry, and befriended many of the Romantic Era poets, STC one of his closest...and he wrote up a book, with his sister, (a curio!) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tales_from_Shakespeare, which I would like to get...seeing how Will is being worked into the Black Deck Tales...and from the movie previews, into a new series this Fall on TNT called 'Will'!!...go figure...local theater group is staging The Tempest beginning this week...a must go see...http://shakespeareoc.org/tempest/...movie previews were seen at the Regal where I saw yesterday evening movieSpiderManHomecoming2017...Peter Parker is trying to hook on with the Avengers...a kind of East India Company!...ral...
