Ain’t No Rest for the Wicked by Cage the Elephant
This year I opted for the ability to play Video on my blog…soooooooooo I had to have my first video ever to the Music Video by the band Cage the Elephant for the song “Ain’t No Rest for the Wicked“…:)
So if you have heard the song…listen…I hope you enjoy it. It sort of inspired the name of my blog.
I’m trying to Flap my Jack as fast as I can…
Punching Water – A poem
Punching Water –
If I had to describe what life was like
I would say it’s like punching water.
I flail with fists at this simple concoction of
wondrous matter with wild abandon.
Yet it feels no pain, no emotion
Bruised knuckles connect to its surface
breaking the stream,
It simply cascades around my skin.
Surface tension, caused by its bi-polar nature
reforms the flow after my useless flinging
of flesh has ceased.
My presence barely felt.
Strength is spent, muscles on fire,
breathing labored
I give up the fight
and cup my hands to take a drink.
