SANDASTORM

Everyone does everything the way everyone does

And everything is done by everyone the same

Turn on TV and we see reality

Reality conformed to reality as what reality is seen on TV

Music on MTV music on MTV2 music on VH1 music on BET

Music on music off betting it’s not music at all

Broken hearts and unspoken fools

Speak the truth and may find love, speak the truth and may regret

Blah blah audible noise in plain sight drifting through without pause

And we’ll move on anyway 

Our hearts dropping off like flies

Our bodies floating off into abyss

Blah blah we may be okay afterall

Not a case for headlines

But bright lights heading into our eyes

Victimized in our town but not big enough to hit the 5 ‘o’ clock beat

It happens all the time…in this…neighborhood

Stop the press, it won’t make a difference

The future is beyond this world

Getting better for the worse

soul searching in the night instead of slumber

everyone is expecting

pieces of desire crumble in fear

unsure of our burning passion

change for what everyone sees

we have one chance first impressions first right

we’ve gone through flaws and rotten more

our past our pain a box of coffin

caged secrets sinking

one time to start over

circle from the beginning

our mistakes noticed and noted

now, driving through without brakes

I heard you said that she said that they told him that she said that they said he said that I said that you said that he told me that she said you had a thing with what he said and then they turned it around on her and she told me that he was going to go over to their house and then they told him that he said that she was going to but couldn’t because she told him that he said that she was there but then she said what and then weerd.

I was at a garage getting my car fixed when I heard the news of the attacks in London.
All I could hear were air pumps and some kind of contraption making loud noises in the background while I saw images of a blown up bus and graphics of the four targets of the London Underground. All I could think of was, London won the vote to host the 2012 Olympics and then this happens - is it connected? Was it al-Qaida? Was it the IRA? Actually what happened? I didn’t get the details because I couldn’t hear the news with all the racket in the background. For a moment I felt 9/11 all over again, just by the visual coverage of the attacks. The graphics of the word ATTACK and TERROR ALERT is cause for a 9/11 rehash.

But none of the mechanics or the attendents seem at all concerned, going about their day fixing the cars.

I later learned it was a well organized plan, the detinations were timed and no suicide bombers…what does that mean? London seemed so jaded by the attacks that the news reporters repeatedly tell us how unphased the people were about the event - was it a kind of preparedness or was it expected, did the government know about it already and wasn’t able to do anything except be prepared?
However, in NYC and around the states security hightened and we were on Level Orange Alert. The security seemed very sophisticated, but for some reason I never felt so irked. It was strange, rather than feeling safe I felt a nauseating compulsion to barf. I don’t recall quite well, but how did NYC react when the Madrid attacks occured?

All you could see and hear on the news was London, Hurricane Dennis and T.S. Cynthia.
What a way to tie their stories… man made terror v.s. nature’s terrors.

I am just rambling on now. It’s 1:40 AM…insomnia for no reason just rambling some thoughts.

Tell me - what do ya’ll think about?
