Remotes, Chupacabras And Karl Marx Poem by Tailor Bell
Remotes, Chupacabras And Karl Marx
Later on, my childhood friend Karl Marx
Was a big success playing in a rock band
Together we listened to smuggled Tull, as kids
He and his science friend introduced me to The Beatles
'Back in...', on a bligh cul-de-sac minus Starkey
Both eight I was first to reach nine, Alpha nine
Few people remain precise at a distance fade
There was no sensing the day he went away
Sidepitched to me around ten in the morning
By late afternoon he was gone before dinner
Viewed big yellow movers speeding away (from the quarry)
Three this and three that way, lame strategy
Next day my long hand bent the door slamming the iron gargoyle
Sedated, asking him to come back and always stay
Its not easy to change worlds at that age
Months went by thinking on my good friend, out of chamber
Split tests wore most of us down, Delta five and I once held hands
Though I never thought badly of the facility women
It hasn't really been the same since, Afghan, Grenada, Bosnia
Quietly I still miss Karl, owl-horse-tiger-monster, remotely
Making change and Chupacabras, thick on my brain
it's definitely a personal piece. el chupacabra scares me. they did an episode on the X-files concerning the nature of that strange creature. interesting, very. T Bell.
Another straightforward Tailor Bell poem! ! ! As if! ! It's all too much for me. But on this occasion I'll pretend that I haven't a scoobie and endeavour to ambush you on the next one! ! All bets are off nevertheless. I too remember when Tull was big - on sidestreets mainly - but that was much 'later on' for me. The truth: I'm as awestruck as ever. You do something to the language that's quite mesmeric Mr Bell (Who are you really?) . You have got to do a least a little chuckling when you're putting these works of sheer artistry together. Marvellous! ! jim
Why did I not see this before? ! ! ! As Will said... This is hellishly good. Finely penned, apt flow and structure, and the content out of this world (in the strctest possible sense) . The imagination flows. Wow-cellent. t x
Incredible write. You go from strength to super-strength to new-and-improved! -w
Wonderful poem about the significance of loss in childhood. Love the way you hint at events in order to evoke feelings without revealing too much. You force the reader to think. I had to look up chupacabra - fascinating creature - and the title is brilliant. I really enjoyed this. love, Allie xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Tailor>>>I do believe you made reference, here, to Ian Anderson & Jethro Tull, an ALL-TIME A W E S O M E GROUP if there ever was one....They initially went by another name, I believe, before re-grouping a bit & then releasing either(i think) 'THIS WAS' or ''STAND UP'Nice memories well expressed here, Tailor!

This is certainly surreal. It has a feeling of warmth to it and a humour that seems warpped. I enjoyed this a lot.
