Dead Like New

By metaphormachine

Here dead die like new

life is old

perish like driftwood

on the big waterfall

rush or caught

on the shore.

 

Past we

future was

the spice of the roast

Sundays with grandma.

 

At signs rules the world

or just spider monkeys

smooth

post dream-like

posttraumatic

give me the salt

in the primordial soup.

 

A piece of cake

garnished

All my sons

daughters, I prefer

the look on

a piece of road

street pizza

by the Chinese on the corner.

 

What do you taste so good?

White or the black pepper?

Mysterious meat sauce

pieces of

these seasoned

bland

(fate).

 

Noble

Is there today maybe tomorrow?

for all your

favourite food

Dead like new.

    Revisiting, and seeing things you had forgotten about through new eyes, a fresh perspective . Can't appreciate it til It's been and gone . Contradiction of terms 'death! and 'new' Parts of us have to die before we can continue to live sometimes.....but we use it to shape us. . I wish I could get inside your mind more.... Great pic.... Handsome ;-)
