Within a desire to hold warm peanut butter and banana toast
Within a longing for milk to break free the damming consistency
of such adolescent delicacy
Is a small freedom to sit in a chair the same color of old people
shoes and their Buicks(Somewhere between tan and gray)
Pulling the on button out and seeing a little white dot
expand into Looney Tune scenery
Why just last night before I left work all I said was “My
name is Elmer J. Fudd…” and from across
the
room came a spontaneity and recall…”Milwanaire, I own a
mansion and a yacht.”
I laughed and pointed…ah yes, someone else heard one of Mel
Blanc’s many voices!
So this morning I sat in front of this screen wondering what
to do
Shall I pray
Shall I play
Shall I remember when Saturday morning was a little church
service of sorts with Pastor Blanc
Saying things that show up in my mind when I am fifty
I hear the “tune” of Looney Tunes like a hymn sometimes and
with it brings an odd sense of peace
A peace of a childlike zoning on a sun porch on Grand Avenue
A freedom just to be humored a little and fill some files for recall
“Nayhhhh…what’s up doc”
“I say, I say, fortunately I keep my feathers numbered for
just such an emergency”
“Wabbit season”
…now is time to add some of your own in the comment section….
