    Stuck in Lodi Again

    Lodi, California, the asphalt melting, just like fondue, chasing the iguana away on it's short peg legs. Hopping like in "hop-scotch," avoiding the hot spots of the asphalt's lava of warm cheese in a fondue pot, stuck in Lodi,...

    Hypotenuse

    "You don't look like a math person," he said. I didn't answer—the numbers pulsed behind my eyelids, jagged and incomplete where the third side should've been. My fingers twitched toward the chips of ice in my whisky, "straight up...

    ...a lovely chew

    You have such a lovely chew,Where moon-lit cobwebs drape the stone,In the hush of midnight's vaulted nave,Your whisper sinks like bitter-sweet brine—Petals of ash that gnaw at air, Your breath—a rusted key that turns, A phantom's smile, a serrated...

    • I think everyone has their favorite time period. favorite line “In the evening, the beatniks and the long haired girls came too
      Coffee shops heard their words”

    • Beautifully penned, Keith. Excellent write my friend I dig writes involving music. Cool photo, I knew instantly that was a young Robert Zimmerman. Nicely done. Appreciate you.

    • Hoi hoi @Visions,
      What a lovely write!
      And – assuming that you took the inspiration off the photo – what a lovely prompt.

      I was taken back a bit when I saw the litter on the pavement. Let’s hope that that is remedied now.

      If you’re a serious fan of Bob’s, you may be interested in other stuff than his music.
      Paintings, train wagon, his record collection. I may be able to help you there.
      If so, please send a PM or mail.
      Not his own music, I must add.

      I think your post is a very valuable one.
      If you’re American:
      Thank you.
      In all other cases:
      Keep them coming please.
      Kind regards, Gus

    • Dear K,

      Wonderful vibe. This piece had me thinking about each generation creating their own progressive ideas that will right the wrongs of the current one so to speak. But the 60’s…that generation was seriously like no other before, or after. Terrific write. H🌷

      • I wasn’t alive yet in the 60’s, but damn, the youth had such piss & vinegar against the establishment. There was no choice but for the government to stop, look & listen. Thanks for the generous comment.

    • Once again you succeeded and writing and Article as powerful as meaningful on an important chapter of music history, Artists, and especially musicians were most often the ones to kick off change of social and political rules and customs. The Beatles and their generation initiated a real big innovation.
      This is an outstanding article my friend!

    • I believe I read this on WC. It’s just as good the second time reading it. Your photo cements the character of the poem. A snapshot in time I wish I could have experienced. Dylan was a poet with a guitar. Excellent writing.

    • Myself, born in 1963. Let’s just get back there.
