It’s the sound in the silence
The cry in the night
Heard by no one
That is heard somewhere else
It’s the startle under the steel
The well hidden fear
That goes unseen
That is heard by someone else
Who has ascended the heights?
Or gone to the depths?
Who knows the pain in my heart?
The cries in my chest?
Who has a direct line to the things unseen?
Hear me if you’re there
And not a dream.
To me
You seem
Like someone
Afraid
Of losing
Something
That you
Never
Had
The brick that so
desperately
Wanted to leave the
building
-strike out on its own-
Didn’t think freedom
would come
At the hands of a bomb
Or that it would
End up in
A
Pile
Of
Rubble
Hurt as mortar
Pain for bricks
Thick, secret walls
Made from the mix
There’s a tear in her eye
And I doubt it’s of joy
Probably caused by another bad boy
People say what you need to get what they want
She’s got a tattoo on her shoulder
Wouldn’t call it a sleeve
It’s a picture of a sparrow
And a tree with no leaves
The blank page is sunny day on my face.
I like putting ideas on there to sunbathe in its warmth.
It’s possibility.
I like watching it transform to something.
Anything.
But not just anything,
Something that communicates
And communifies us together
The more muddled the page
The more lumledd the page
The more dumeled the page
The less space there is
And so I start again on a blank page
On a different sunny beach
Hello Everyone.
I’ve had an idea: Let’s put Rogers and Blockbusters out of business. It would be great fun and it would be a sweet way to get to know the neighbors.
Here’s the thing. On an average street, with average neighbors, and average life styles we can assume that there are a lot of people watching movies that they have either purchased or rented.
On average they are likely watching a lot of the same movies. THE SAME MOVIES I WOULD SPEND $5 TO RENT. This is how Blockbusters / Rogers make money. They sell the same thing over and over again. Their model works soley because neighbors are not organized enough to share their resources.
IDEA: What if you could set up some sort of system whereby people on your block would know what movies you and everyone else has. Then, when they want to ‘rent’ a movie they could just cross the street and borrow it from you or Mr. and Mrs. Smith instead?
I’m sure some facebook app. could be designed… or maybe just a google doc to share the information? It could be pretty basic:
Mr. and Mrs. Smith have the following titles: blah, blah, and blah. Jimmie has the following titles: (blah, zip and zap.)
It’s really like napster… only you would actually be sharing a physical thing. And THAT is certainly above board.
I think you could meet a lot of your neighbors, save some money, and even have quite a good time in the process. Some entrepreneurial person might even make a buck off of said system.
If enough people did it we could even put Rogers/ Blockbusters out of business… or at very least force them to stock hard to find movies.
