TORONTO PAGE 4

Not fit for human consumption.

The faces we value are littered with pain, and the fantasy of celebration.  The Einsteins are shredded, the Edisons hold no light, the Ghandis are mute - replaced by screeching Nomads of Hell, propagated by a society whose inner doctines are based on greed, suppression of the Real, and spreading the Myth that Toys and Position bring happiness.

The life of lies we live in the society of lies that condones such vacancy, then turns around and looks at its face in the snappy little mirror on the left ... and we gag.

Then we hire goons like "Mike" and grey-bucket paint squad to try and erase the pain we suddenly feel. Aspirin.  Alka-Seltzer.  Rolaids.  Bandaids.  Live-Aid.  Kool-aid.

Life goes on, unaffected , numb and blind to the major consequences of it all. The moms take their kids to the soccer games.  Boys are taught to hate and hold their breath, like all men do.  The soccer game turns into a war, balls become missiles, and the boys never come home.

We all wonder where we all went wrong.

The answers are painted on the back walls of Queen Street.

Change the Channel.

A light-hearted comedy removes us from the camp of war, the circle of covered wagons.  The Geneva Convention reminds us that humanity still shines from between the cracks of darkness, as it always has, as it always will.

 

Whether it spells "Haz6", "HazG" or a hastily-contrived "Hagz", this puppy dances with all the condensed Brylcreem of a '57 Chev Impala.  Although its "spikyness" is typical of Toronto's neuronal wastelands, this one simply shines in the fabric of the night.  Sheds lite on passers-by, so they can find the right vein for the right needle.

Gimme Shelter.

Another Naked Toothbrush in a Mouth of Dentures.  We connect.  We give.  We Take.  We litter each other's back-yards with our soils and our rake.

Nothing in the garden but a cucumber and a wrench. Your veggies are sour, your bread makes a stench. It's a busy day, with many words shared and nothing to say. Who's louder, who's longer, who's Blue and who's Gay.

That is that for now.  I entertain the troops with a small pot-pourri of Gentle Nibbles from the Turnip Gallery of Tronto's Queens Lane.  Angry men, Benign women and the usual fruit loops in-between.

Glasnost for now.

Graffiti -

The Love Song.

These words I have to say
May well be simple but they're true
Until you give your love
There's nothin' more that we can do

Love is the opening door
Love is what we came for for
no one could offer us more
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?

You say its' very hard
To leave behind the life we knew
But there's no other way
And now it's really up to you

Love is the key we must turn
Truth is the flame we must burn
Freedom the lesson we must learn
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?

- Elton John

Do You Know What I Mean?
