MEMORY OF AN ELEPHANT

 

Apparently, my Dad

Has the memory of an Elephant

When he was a boy

He went Zoo and saw an Elephant

SIGHTS, SOUNDS, SMELLS, TASTE AND TOUCH # 3

 

Sights, sounds, smells, taste and touch

It’s funny the things that cause the memories to arise

When all of a sudden memory of my Brother flood back

It’s Barry White, Wine gums and Apple Pies

LIKE A GAGGLE OF GEESE

 

Like a gaggle of geese

The hen party traversed

The gaudy Blackpool strip

From bar to bar

And club to club

The tarty group

In their shameless parade

The legless slappers

Ended the night

Even more undignified

Than they had begun it

“If that’s possible”

Sitting in the gutter

In their own piss and vomit

I’M THINKING ABOUT TAKING A HOLIDAY # 6

 

I’m thinking about taking a holiday

But I don’t know where to go

One possibility is in suspense

That makes the adrenalin flow

OVER THE SPAN OF YEARS

 

Over the span of years,

Along the way

My heart has been broken

Time after time

But how can it not break,

When you lose someone

Or when a loved one passes,

Or your child is in pain

Or is unhappy

We don’t live in a bubble

Life is not lived in isolation

And broken hearts do mend

And each repair gives us strength

For the next time

Because a heart never broken,

Is cold and sterile,

And has never known the joy

Of loving another human being 

WHO WHAT WHEN WHERE WHY (4)

 

Who’s said that?

What a woman

When eight bells toll

Where there’s life

Why did Bodhi-Dharma leave for the coast?

ALL-TIME CLASSIC MOVIE FAVOURITES – NOW YOU SEE ME (2013)

 

“Now You See Me” is a Mystery Crime Thriller, screenplay written by Ed Solomon, Boaz Yakin and Edward Ricourt and Directed by Louis Leterrier.

 

The story begins when four magicians, J. Daniel Atlas (Jesse Eisenberg), Merritt McKinney (Woody Harrelson), Henley Reeves (Isla Fisher) and Jack Wilder (Dave Franco), each answer a mysterious summons, and all arrive at an obscure address where they find hidden secrets.

One year later, they are big time stage illusionists, the Four Horsemen, and they climax their sell-out Las Vegas show by apparently robbing a Paris bank.

When it turns out that the bank actually had been robbed, F.B.I. Agent Dylan Rhodes (Mark Ruffalo) and Interpol Agent Alma Dray (Mélanie Laurent) are assigned to the case to figure out how they did it.

However, the great truth in this puzzle is that the closer you look, the less you see, and deeply embroiled in the mystery for very different reasons are Thaddeus Bradley (Morgan Freeman) Arthur Tressler (Michael Caine) and Agent Fuller (Michael J. Kelly).
