Does it whisper..?

Night in New Jersey

Does the sun go down in New Jersey

Just like everywhere else?

Or does it

When it goes down in Hoboken

And the fading day melts with the dark night sky

Does it whisper...

Frank Sinatra?

Pop-up Words

Out of nowhere

(or out of the blue?)

Sometimes words just pop up –

Right into my mind.

Can be any word

Can be any language

Just 5 minutes ago it was –

Profiteroles

Why?

I don’t know.

Sometimes I wish I could block these words from popping

You know -

With some kind of a pop-up-blocker

But there is no pop-up-blocker for words in my head

After all these years, my mind is still not a computer!

(now that’s really amazing!)

I feel like I’m drowning in a sea of words

I wish I was a poet…

Poetry

Frank O'Hara
a great American Poet

   ANIMALS
                
                
       Have you forgotten what we were like then
       when we were still first rate
       and the day came fat with an apple in its mouth
      
       it's no use worrying about Time
       but we did have a few tricks up our sleeves
       and turned some sharp corners
      
       the whole pasture looked like our meal
       we didn't need speedometers
       we could manage cocktails out of ice and water
      
       I wouldn't want to be faster
       or greener than now if you were with me O you
       were the best of all my days
       
                             
       [1950]

This is Meditations in an Emergency
recited by Jon Hamm in Mad Men

Listen to the words
This is Poetry...

Art and Color, an Hommage to Andy Warhol

I am obsessed by colors, some colors can, just like music or a certain smell or taste, provoque emotions that are very strong. Memories of times long ago, very special moments, sometimes pure happiness.

The artist who has always impressed me most is Andy Warhol. He gave art a complete new face, litterally.

I especially love his portraits and his flowers.

And I like his way of living art in different forms, paintings, prints, photographies, music, general lifestyle and his opinions.
