MASSIVE IN DAYLIGHT
Coming to this blog with a rear-view
mirror like reflection of a reality twice removed, and yet coming at me, staring me down, and causing thought. Massive rear end, and I thought I was exempt
from anything like that. Cause for
alarm, not yet. Just a blog, and in real
life, I keep my distance. Am not a Selfie Type. Broad exposure and who I am with, not really
part of the conversation as I make my way down a road, self-chosen. Titillation, simulation, and the use of
visualization tools does not include a web cam, which in the hands of the
devious other, spells big trouble.
Massive in the sense, it is the
elephant in the room, complete with
white house and democracy. Autonomous
agent driven peek-a-boo, and not sure who is on my left or right flanks, but do
pride myself on being flat in all the right places, prone and still, below the
firing line. So not quick to raise me
hand or head, not really good in bright light or in headlights. Innocent and like Dear, or Oh Deer.”, I survive in the most cautious way.
Massive in Daylight is about the
opposite range of alternatives for me. I
like the night life. I dance around and
show my stuff, but then as if on drugs or in a trance, I am home before you notice. Surveillance Society. Drug Tolerance and ways of being I could
only dream of, back in the 60’s when baby boomers were rattling cage. Now its our turn to grow old gracefully, step
back and let others take our place.
Massive in Daylight is about a big movement; greater than one person or
one group. Baby Boomers unite. “You are going down.”
Not sure which part of my brain is
staying this, but I am listening. Have a
broom and am willing to use it. Massive
Rear End and not liking what I am seeing.
Changes need to be made, but not
sure poisoning the food chain, or doing
GMO-like enhancements is the way it should be. But with diminishing voice and presence, to
the corner I go, standing in silence as I type this to you. Massive in Daylight. Are these words, I send.
Massive in the sense, you don’t
answer to me, nor I to you, but things
get done. Not saying people go behind my
back, and manipulate the chess board, moving black and white pieces around. Things get done, and it seems like a huge tactical
strategy game, set on the fringes of my backyard, close enough to cause
concern. 4th of July coming
up, and can hear : “Boom Boom.”
Fireworks or gunshots, who knows.
Everybody wants their freedom, and remember this, “Give me Liberty or
Give me Death.”
Up in New York near the Canadian border,
just yesterday they shot an escaped convict on the run. Now they are looking for another. Massive (manhunt ). Use that word again, so I know. It costs to have certain freedoms. Like marrying your best mate. And the way it works, is that it lasts as
long as folks don’t change their mind.
So we like to start out optimistic.
Anything is possible.
And even when I say, “True. True.”
I know, those guys in black robes meet in some room and declare: “new ruling.”
Imagine that. I have lived
through it. Bush becomes president of
the United States. Honor the black
robes. And honor change. It won’t go away, not in my lifetime. I am a baby boomer or close enough to see
what those people went through. Now is
time to step back. Honor your conviction
and let you have your day. Massive in
Daylight. I intend to honor you. Regardless.
Say all this as I fold a flag. Will put it away for now. Have a huge flag collection. Feel the changes and note the commotion. Big stir and I am afraid. Won’t make a fuss. Usually don’t show my hand until I have to,
play the cards that are dealt me. Don’t
brag when I win, and almost always cover my loses. Massive in Daylight is for me, a tactical
strategy game that rules life and sets me free.
And when I can live like that, I
tend not to embarrass myself by showing that which is close behind.
“Don't look back.
Something might be gaining on you. “ Satchel Paige
Massive in
Daylight and there is so much I dare not say in the present moment. Will put away my flags, but not my guns. Won’t show the massive rear that seems to be
more than living shadow following in my footsteps. Have had my fun. 4th of July. Be safe.
