"Nocturnal Emissions................AKA ................... Muse Tracks........................"

Good Morning;
It's 4:00 am. and the moon is full and the night is warm and it's too nice too sleep.
I just got back into the shed after wandering the city by bus and foot, just looking at all the activity and watching people.


Pimps and players
lovers and losers
drunks, dreamers, and druggies,
The homeless and the homeward bound.
Junkies looking for a score,
johns looking for a whore.
The city is alive and awake
while most people are asleep.
Cops, criminals, construction workers,
garbage men and go-go girls,
bouncers and bakers.
On patrol or on the prowl,
waking up or winding down,
meeting and mingling
at the all night diners,
oil and water,
alcohol and gasoline,
donuts and dime bags.
Each with a rhythm and beat.

Street symphonies sound-off...
Trucks and trains,
pumps and planes,
motors and machinery,
merging and melding,
Gunshots and gospel,
sirens and salsa,
reggae, rap, and rock,
blare from automobiles.
Angry screams and whispered dreams,
a baby's cries and a mother's sighs,
a lover's moans and a dying man's groans,
escape from open windows
to echo down the avenues and alleyways.

Combining, reverberating, remixing,
weaving a complex rhythm,
turning a cacophony
of harmony and harmonic,
man and machine,
into the heartbeat,
the pulse,
of the unsleeping city.

Ennnhhhh,
oh well, it's 6 o'freakin' clock, and this took more time
and went in a different direction than the original burst of creative
energy and enthusiasm seemed to be pointing.
Maybe I'll get around to editing it one day......lol.

Later.................................Dave

And again....WTF is up with this laptop and the damn text colors!
And the fonts too?
The green and Lucinda Grand are actually what I selected on my 'Edit Posts' window menu, which 9 times out of 10, prints on the actual blog page in the purple, or whatever is chosen, from the Template page.....too weird....and inconsistent, as can be seen from the mix in this post.
Again...????WTF?????...............LOL!
