Love this witty wandering or perchance a fancy of "wakeful disbelief".Anmol (HA)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02427056865589377093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172362715981729508.post-38201800364580484932018-11-08T19:37:50.072+02:002018-11-08T19:37:50.072+02:00Love the idea that the mind is blank, when "o...Love the idea that the mind is blank, when "out of place, served on a platter," like a fish caught in the morning, offered for lunch.annell4https://www.blogger.com/profile/07629830133868270690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9172362715981729508.post-49231989329517756252018-11-05T22:37:12.563+02:002018-11-05T22:37:12.563+02:00Love the side of beef, and detachment.

Especially if one has been trying to "connect" and the synapses are "severed" - perhaps cleaved into a temporary state of "un/comfortably numb" --- <br />some days, it seems, it is best to lop off one's head and just stop over/thinking ... <br /><br />I really like the whole 55 - it's wonderfully worded, and the 2nd stanza just has that "divorced" feeling to it. It reads very well. <br /><br />Cheers Kerry! And fascinating 'cut out' image you've chosen for the month's Flash :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
