Being Jeff Goldblum

Being Jeff Goldblum


heading home to things
and you
tarantula web envelops me
in stray fly thoughts
a buzzing in my ear much like
your soft voice has me trapped
in venomous recoil,
i want to take off from this disillusioned nest
of contaminated dreams
heading home to things
and you
but glued feet to a consorting fool
i am
stuck
and you
heading home to things
i can't reach
no matter how hard i spin my wings.

Jeff was good in the movie Fly. Like the metaphors here J and the imagery of a fly is spot on. Such a clever write. It’s funny it’s a fly’s disregard for what is that gets the fly in trouble and how easily is the fly attracted to trouble.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Yes, they are attracted to trouble...and dead carcasses and humans who seem to be dead even before they are.

Wow! Trapped in her web, can't escape her, can't achieve those things; being stuck is a serious problem needing to be free.
I know Jeff has been married 3 times.
I like him and his many talents.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

Me too...I am referencing The Fly...in which he excelled....oh those pesky metaphorical flies.
Thank you, Sami,
