somewhere not quite here nor where

David Bowies old song
Ashes to Ashes is going
through my head right now

probably because I watched
that old movie from the
early eighties called
ALIEN and that one of the
crew members of the space
ship was called Ash

and that David Bowies song
was about a character in
space called Major Tom which
reminded me of a television
show that i watched when my
brother and mother and i came
to visit our city relatives
that had a commander Tom and
Rocketship Seven on the show

"my momma said to get things
done you better not mess
with Major Tom..."

we of course watched Rocketship
Seven when we were very young

its kind of a blur
maybe only the lyrics are
correct

"never done good things
never done good things
never done bad things
never done bad things
never done anything out
of the blue woa woa "

watched the shuttle land in
New Mexico the froth of
dust mixed up underneath
like a six horse stage
hitting the town

drifting off to sleep
this fan loud and humming
like the heaters under the
seats on the bus

maybe i'll listen to Curt
Cobain tonight
i love the rendition of
"Man who Sold the Earth"

i gave Lori three of my
batteries from the dollar
store in the mall for her
little glass globe and
LED lighted base that she
keeps up on a shelf in the
living room We keep
forgetting to shut the light
off Its a neat visual gimmick
that glows different colours
and i just went and turned
it off again otherwise it
would have had dead batteries
again tommorrow

tired right out
all the excitement

this fan droning on
i can hear the high pitched
buzz of grasshoppers on a hot
summer day in there somewhere
their insect voices rising
and falling
can almost feel the perspiration
on my upper lip and the moisture
in my shirt

..O..
