Do you want to become something, for a little while?

Posted by davidawesomelandscaping

Dissolving into the sky
revolving life’s lone
earth.
Being nothing
for as long as it takes
to feel something.

I am captured and dying
crashing through painted landscapes
while tipping my hat
to the painter.
What? Is it the Zappa thing?
I lived with a guy for two years (!!!) who loved Zappa.
LOVED, like, LOVED.

    Melancholy springs to mind , however one is drawn to these words and one feels the need to read them again and again to get an insight into the writers mind. Bravo jolly good show old chap.

    This reminds me of
    a song my dad listened to.

    A bit ironic, but cool.

    Yes I think I did, or it took me to places I have glimpsed on inward outward types of journeying.

    Is it ourselves that can paint such imagery, as we colour & embellish our reality?

    With zero sensory input we can see, feel & experience things that deify any logical metaphor.
    Is there more in here than out there?

    I am a bit of a tripper however, that is kinda what I took from it.

    I do like it, I guess I cant help seeing Lucy up there with diamonds.

    Sounds like some deja vu or dreaming while looking at an painting in a gallery. Strong words, gets one’s minding floating too.

    Like this. Disconnected, flying feel to it, smashing mirrors between landscapes and stuff. Very Lucy.

    LOVE Zappa’s Discharge Party Hats

    very philosophical,i feel this is coming from a person who has truly mastered art of using words to share the most profound truth in a poetic manner.

    answering this question was fruitful as i learnt something new.

    I thought we had to be nothing before we could be something?

    You ever read one of those poems that make you think the speaker is standing behind you looking over your shoulder, and being the voice in your head?

    I just did.

    even if the land and waterscape
    will be mostly greys, blacks, browns and blues

    I keep reading this over and over. Can’t seem to stop. The more I read the more words and images flow through my mind.

    I am captivated!

    Sounds like being in a highly meditative state, and if read often enough, will put you into one! Tipping your hat to the painter on your way out….very nice touch.

    Paradoxically, Zappa used a wah-wah pedal but usually kept it on one setting and didn’t rock it to get the "wah" effect. One has to wonder why Zappa avoided the wahs!

    I am not what I appear to be, anyway.
    You motivate me.
    Zappa again!!??
    He named his child "Moon Unit".
    Perhaps he was a moron
    (for a little while).
