The Flooded Streets had Flooded Words

That poem was written too quickly even when that's almost always how I do it since I want whatever thought to emerge with as little translation as possible.  It's just the same with music when a melody is in my head, the hope is that can come to life and still sound like I heard inside.  It probably won't since the vision is always the Ideal and the emergence is what makes it real.

That last bit was starting to try to dodge arty when the fact of it is the structure was too contrived.  In effect the poem came to a punchline since I won't forget her smile but it was too laborious for anyone to get there.  Bringing anything to a punchline makes it look like "Rendezvous with Rama" in which we read three or four hundred pages to discover, oh, they always come in threes.

A punchline takes the poem to Vaudeville but that doesn't work so well when it isn't funny and Vaudeville wasn't that funny either although I caution junior grasshoppers to understand I may be old but I'm not that fuckin' old.  I guess Vaudeville must have been from the early 20th Century until maybe even the 50s but I didn't even enter the game until the 50s so I've only seen it on TV.

It may seem the concern is age but that's not it at all since you draw from what you know and I don't know Vaudeville all that well.

Without tits and ass and politics

people won't much show

but it's really just ok

since they never thought of paying

for this free ride

Even so, here's a taste since Megyn Kelly has joined the race in the Millionaire Victims Big Bucks Speaking Tour with Hillary Clinton and, guess what, both have shitty, whiny books available and both will make another million from them.

Oh, my achin' ass, how I do feel their fucking pain.

You who can't get prescriptions, do you feel their searing pain, would you sell your story on TV, and you don't even need to answer since I know you're a better sort than that.

The simple fact is they're shitty writers and have no thought of anything more clever to write.

If you don't quite get it yet with Megyn Kelly and her pretentious affectation, her daughter is named Yardley but she could have been named for a truck since when the names get that stupid I just don't give a fuck.

Was Yardley a perfume or a liver pill or some shit in a previous time ... and these are the same people who mock black people for pretentious names.

Kids aren't impressed by affectation so I wonder what Yardley will be called.  Yardy sounds even more stupid and Ley throws the name away so I think they will just call her Virgo since they're not as stupid as parents often think.

I rolled Brenda Bakke because I've seen "Under Siege x" a few times because it's all so deliciously stupid but it's delivered in a comical way and usually with someone boobiferous to give it some color.  In the second movie, she was the hot girl ... until she learned to fly.  I wondered how she was doing and now you know why.

So the Flooded Streets was a poor execution of a not such a bad concept.  That's ok since if some don't tank then I'm not working hard enough.
