Read
Read! Yes relax, tear yourself away. Read!
Fiction incarnated
Folly of family disillusion, incest, murder
Famous and infamous
Read lots!
Your inspiration will grow
Your mind will bulge, blow up like a balloon
The secret suitor; murderer
Connection to the heist, intrigue
Fed by words into fantastic scenes
Stuffed with curiosity
Stimulate and marvel at the expansive realm of nature
All painted word pictures
Ideas, visualization, metaphors
Novels, biographies, science all at your fingertips
Solve mysteries, create new ones
The mind, imaginary and real
Spooky, scary, scandalous chameleon of character
Yours to challenge, to traverse
These endless word pictures of possibilities
All yours with open mind and eyes to treasure!
Or the wisdom of Aristotle, Homer, Einstein Read about economic disaster,
Spring planting, soccer
Or even the gruesome, torturous Holocaust
Read about starvation, global warming
Astronauts in space, Hollywood legends
Babies growing up, love and platitudes and beliefs
A basketful of mish-mash
Once sorted out, oh what pearls!
What treasures! Even forensic laboratories
Caught but not convicted yet
Ramification - implication - scandal
And you don't even have to say Obama
