"Cloud swells. Ocean chop. Exhaustion's
Black ~ and ~ white. The drone at last picked up
By floodlights a mile above Le Bourget.
Bravado touches down. And surging past
Police toward their hero's spitfire engine,
His cockpit now become the moment's mirror,
The crowd from inside dissolves to flashbulbs,
Goggles, then gloves, impatiently pulled off ..."

Notes On Dog,
Or X Marks Spot's Point
"Objects in mirror are closer than they appear.
Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend.
Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read."*
~ G. Marx
[NB. Just see ~ Mr.
Joshua C. Taylor, "Learning to Look." Or
You might check out the Art Education for the Blind
Book series
For a multisensory guided tour ...]
*That's because the dog wears Doggles in the house;
Take him outside, under the sunlight,
And distract his mind ...

Full moon.

O look!
A single leaf of paper on the snow,
Hand ~ inscribed, a
Message ~
"You have a magic world.
Just open your door,
And you must invite at least one other person
Through the threshold ...
And tell them they must do the same
.... and
All your lovely wishes will come true,
But only if you wish for others,
Too. So
Stay true."
Time's Bandit ~
.... a dog, masqued canine,
Through which I see the truth,
Only now,
Wearing Doggles,
Corrective vision ...
Precious pup, silly toy.
All white, pure as Florida sand ~
Hold my hand.
~ * Doggles ~
.... protective eyewear,
For dogs to fly,
Through time and the vast darkness of the universe,
Home.

One dog at a time."
So ~
Be there,
Or be square ~ !
Mum's planning a party in higher dimensions,
A Grande Soiree ~ !
Stars in your eyes,
In any case.
Or, at least
That's what JD McClatchy, my teacher,
Told me ...
'Stars
In your eyes.'
And Mum
Replied to me ~
Don't get
Mesmerized ~ !
Once Upon a Time*
....there was a dog,
And a girl.
God came a little later,
But she heard the echo of grief across time.
And God knew exactly what to do.

Which Music Today?
Let's start with the Pet Shop Boys...
Their remake of U2's 'Where the streets have no name?'
Ah, we'll have to find that one.
Meantime, how about Maltese Lane?

Meanwhile ~
Just find another rhyme, you know ~ ?"

"Gotcha.
Whatcha doing, Folly?"
~ Twittering
"Maybe, now, a different time, Golly,
Twittering, dunno. A different face
And place,
Here, where wishes all come true ~ ?"
~ Folly
"Or more of the same, searching for Blew
Until our fluffy white tail
Comes home, and all our tale
Works out all right."
~ Twittering
"Right,
Or left?"
