Figured this is as good as that.
OR… why waste good ancient prose?
Your choice.
Here ya go:
*****
Now that is a good term from the Cold War, i.e., ‘Le Space Race.’
However, it still rings true today; rings true as something, almost… unattainable, yet so very much coveted.
“Escape Velocity”
Cal Gone! Take me away! (sic) Yeah: sick.
Point is, I have spent the better part of my life ‘playing’ computer games. Some might be tempted to label them ‘video’ games.
(They are NOT video games, Love: they are ways I increase my mental, mental…”)
Old Story warning here:
That guy. That guy, who used to write about distance running, what was his name” Oh Yeah! Joe Henderson; I read all of his books… Oh yeah! He died of a heart-attack… Just details…
He wrote a bit:
His bit went something like this:
He was ‘runnin’ down a road. Some kid says, “Hey, Hi! Mister Jogger!”
He replied, “Hey Kid! I am not a jogger; I am a runner! A ‘Runner!’ Get it right!”
The kid replied, “Well then, why are you jogging?”
I had to laugh; been there, et etcetera…
This is the part where I get pissed. (And when I get pissed… well, you would not like me)
The worst thing one (amongst the uninitiated) is to say, proclaim:
“Are you still playin’ that damn stupid video game?!!”
Perfect retort:
“Yes Madame. I am.”
“Oh. Well, be a good boy and don’t go downtown, protesting’ and such…”
“Yessum. I won’t”
“Good boy there then…”
“Yes, Ma’am.” (“Now Fuck Off” This is what I did truly think)
But, she I did have a point, but my ‘point’ swerved into something else, which I really do not wanna talk about.
My point it thus: Kids that played computer games in the Eighties are now in charge of your world.
And to loosely quote Forrest Gump:
“That is all I am gonna say about that.”
Some thoughts?
And P.S., Yes! I have of late, been spending some quality time with some of my ‘computer’ games. They know me there, and I don’t have to be too creative (actually, I do, but most….) Well…
My blogging experience is failing me of late. Not to say that I do not appreciate The Community. Just to say… that I am between gigs and this is beginning to weigh upon me.
Certainly, I will be about, but please do not chastise me for not visiting your respective blogs on a respective basis. (My intent is to intentionally do so, albeit, tomorrow), yet… I am real tired.
And my health is no good.
I will catch up…
mañana,
I Promise.

Actually, I was born at four p.m.–on a Monday– In Ladonia, Texas—
But that just does not sound as poetic… Sounds somewhat Mundane, in fact.
So, for my purposes and the purpose of this narrative: I was born at mid-night—It was a Dark Ans Stormy Night…
“I record that I was born; at twelve ‘O’clock at Night”
TBC…
“What purpose does my life have?”
I own Three, in Fact.
Of COURSE I HAVE A GUN!

“He’s a Well-Kept Secret of The Under-Ground
Just More Bang-Bang Catch-Up Colour to Him.
Just More 20th Century FOX!”
–Joni
He’s a Well-Kept Secret….
The firmament of Tinsel Town
Is strung with tungsten stars
Lot’s of forty watt successes
He says, “Where’s my own shining hour?”
He’s the well kept secret of the underground
He’s in debt to the company store
Because his only channeled aspiration
Was getting back that girl he had before
He’s got stacks and stacks of words that rhyme
Describing what it is to lose
He’s got some just for laughs, he’s got some for love
That mainline to his blues
Some to shed a little light
On you and on me
Some to shed a little light
On a human story
The wars of pride and property
The rebel Irish and the promised land Jew
Fighting behind his eyes and over seas
Wounded in action and no ceasefire in view
Brave reporters bring the battles home
But tonight inside that box
Just more bang-bang ketchup color to him
Just more Twentieth Century Fox
All because that ghostly girl comes haunting
Just out of reach outside his bed
She kicks the covers off of his sleep
For the clumsy things he said
She commands his head
She tries his sanity
She demands his head
Tonight unknowingly
Vaguely she floats and lacelike
Blown in like a curtain on the night wind
She’s nebulous and naked
He wonders where she’s been
He grabs at the air because there’s nothing there
Her evasiveness stings him now
With long legs, long lonely legs
Bruised from banging into things
One day he was standing just outside her door
He was carrying an armload of bright balloons
She just laughed
She said she heard him knocking
And she teased him for the moon
“Is one the moon, dear clown
Tied to a string for me?”
He tried but he could not get it down
For truth or mystery
He tried but he could not get it down
For love or money
