The Replies Book

Nobody knows about the wild birds, the ones who fly beyond.

We have arguments in verse and songs in terse form, that’s when the sun is too hot.

We are skipping along a path of art and tulips, it is a path lined with small, friendly trees.

Don’t wait, no pause, nor applause…we know you and you do too.

Now sit and reflect on the lack of rules, the presence of mental tools….by the pond.

The Ford, the Fall, and ánimos.

Just think of it. Or, consider possible connections.

Your assignment should you wish to be a good student, is to work on the meanings and possibilities and then bake a cake.

This is ancient wisdom – perhaps. Or, is it just a test?!

Melting like a soft joke falling on slightly blocked ears.

We are the best organizers in the world. Specializing in last-minute scenarios: panic weddings, unexpected sunshine, longer than normal ski seasons, and of course, romantic splurges.

What is melting? We don’t have time for that now. We’re using logistical magic, imagination and surprising intelligence (even we are impressed!) to create an event which would have been enjoyed yesterday if our clients had woken in time to instruct us.

Don’t leave home without our VIP phone number!

Sending cinders to the tailor. Memories of Norman Mailer.

He spoke with the lilt of a boxer from the Emerald Isles – he would have liked that image I think.

Everything had the after-effect as caused by the timbre of Tuscan Italian spoken softly, but with the strength of a raging bull.

Each sentence was a self-contained poem, and left hook.

An American dream, an occasional nightmare and great dinner invitations.

She was up late. Her stories were better than anything on the screen and they were ten times more vivid, they lived, breathed, and sauntered.

Later when the new worlds she created were read as bedtime stories, some shudders and faces covered at times, the new humans were so hungry for her writings, she had to wear a disguise when visiting the bad coffee chains.

She solved all her problems by brewing drinks herself and opening her own “Creating Cafes”, as they became known.

Why do we tell you all this? Because you will be tested. We want you to get an A+. But don’t wear the T-shirt, and, never wear a hoodie – you’d look silly.
