Neighborhood Watch

Neighborhood Watch

A Poem by Einstein Noodle
"

I am curious to know if the video makes a difference in the impressions you get from the poem.

"
Neighborhood Watch
Scorching empty ocean floors
Like crumbling bones
A lifetime waiting as
Vapors inside the dropper
Black rubber bulb
Never touched and
One drop collects .....
I squeeze          it          out
Sands the arid sponge 
takes it
dissipates
dehydrates ... 
A large heart aches and
The hood .............. 
watches in
wonder.

very strong imagery and power in your well chosen words knitted with a fine touch. you've combined words that one would never expect to go together into something meaningful as it labors to drive home your theme. something has gone amiss as we finally arrive at a stark revelation. i think we've all been there feeling like the proverbial deer in the headlights. we're all in this together? what affects one, affects all perhaps?

Pow er full & power to ya... I can only imagine how you pieced 'Neighbourhood Watch' together... painstakingly, I Imagine... and all that, while the hood was watching and waiting and wondering...

Great video, I must say.... must also say, yes... it changed my perception of your words.. still great, just different in my head...... Neville

dear E... the Deer watch and wonder in your photo... I will listen to the Foo Fighters and especially when they sing Pretender. We moved to a very large home built in 1988 with a master bedroom with a huge window that is like an Observatory where clusters of Stars meet to observe and give guidance... I am certain. We were blessed with divine guidance. Amen truly, Pat

Your poetry is impressive. I like the poem paired with the music video. You write at heights (not depths, as many say) I'm not sure I'll ever reach. So, my interpretation is probably much different than the origins in your head.

What I take away is the message that life is fleeting. The richest, purest "drops" are few, and though rich, often leave us unfulfilled. Still, we're here together, bonded in humanity, enduring together. Thanks for sharing, and for exercising my brain this morning.

favor returned is it suppose to be "like crumbling bones"? when a couple fights it can get pretty noisy, everyone can usually see and hear them and the deer pic is awesome, neighbor hood eyes are like stars, countless witnesses to the death of love, eyes are dry, no more tears to spill, the well has gone dry, you sqeeze out one more for the good old days. or I dont understand it at all and the video didnt help one bit XD but it was still trippy fun to read XD

In this piece, your imagination is about six light years beyond my own. I love your "out-there" imagery, even if I'm not sure what it all means. Mystic writers like you have taught me not to expect meaning, as sometimes it's all about the sensations of the ride *smile* Here's wishing you & your loved ones a joyous & love-filled Christmas!

thanks you for reading, Cyprian ... and the encouraging words ...

love is sometimes like a drug that destroys us when we abuse it...
and others watch as we take it too often, but they cannot help...we have to do that on our own...find our own balance in relationships---
this is like Hemingway...it's like what isn't there is as important as what is.

Neighborhoods destroyed by the ravages of drugs or illicit gains and all those addicts are getting high and make the sky their neighborhood with lights and sounds heightened in their heads. An outstanding write, sir Einstein.
