| = what is lazy? | Simona Sumanaru [18.Aug.09 14:53] |
| Funny enough, a friend of mine would say just the opposite. "One has got to be fundamentally lazy if he hides from his own spirit". Getting in touch with your senses is a good exercise, and so is your piece of prose which can easily become a beautiful poem, should you ever decide to do so. I enjoyed this, thank you. | |

| And since it is best to illustrate a suggestion with an example, I drew a poem out from your text for you to see what I was talking about. I do think your text has a nice poetic potential. Going retro Sometimes I go retro. On Sundays, when the roads are clear, I take my car out and drive slowly as if pulled by a horse At noon I watch American Graffiti on TV and read an old magazine with vintage furniture from the 50’s. I make myself some orange juice turn on the radio to “Nothing to lose”, an old soundtrack brought alive by Dimitri from Paris blended with jazz a nice state of mind that fills my entire day. Why go shopping at the mall I know a little old store where one could barely fit two-three people it smells like varnished wood in there and the little red-haired lady behind the counter with big round eyes is always afraid to smile lest she loses concentration when giving back the change. It’s getting late. I sip my coffee and watch a slideshow black and white pictures of Africa an elephant covered in mud, a boy with lots of arrows, an old man crouched on the ground in the scorching sun. One can afford to be lazy sometimes for the sake of good old days. Hm, what do you think? | |
