Well, as the month progresses I am indulging (out of desperation sometimes) in experiment. Not all work -- This poem was a bit problematic for me, the stream of consciousness vibe was reflected my new found love of Kurt Vile and I was 'word free' that day so I went for a walk and played the William Burroughs 'Walking With Colors ' Game. In which you pay particular attention to a certain color, Burroughs would make notes of emotional responses and thoughts associated with the color and the object it was -- So I do not have a painters chromatology - Can't tell you the difference between Burnt Sienna and Lemon Yellow and Canary Yellow -- So I decided to number the 'Yellows' instead -- From The First experienced To The fundamentals which I put as negatives because they help create the experienced moment;-) Hope that helps! Not a huge fan of this piece but maybe in reworking, later. Appreciate the feedback!
