dVerse: Need A Bigger Boat

dVerse: Stuck In My Head




when i see dead people
most people can't handle the truth
but i don't really see them
just once...
no one puts Baby in the corner
but that's my preferred spot
so no one can sneak up
behind me
my lack of sense of time
has my husband saying with me now
during the announcement of
a season finale
"BUT IT JUST STARTED!"
we giggle but it's still disconcerting

we are both movie buffs
so quotes are part of our
mainstay vocabulary
we always need a bigger boat
and nothing looks like Kansas
to me
not that i knew what it looked like ever
we'll hop on that bandwagon
when we get to it
like Ziva on NCIS i mix up the sayings
but he always knows what i mean
ya know what i mean? 
Houston, we always have a problem.

    1. I had to look up most famous movie quotes because I couldn't just think of things I say all the time. It was fun to see the list. But I wouldn't be able to play your daughters' game. I can barely remember last week's episode on tv to connect to this week's new one.

  3. This is so good! Love it. You have a deft hand with this one, and I too prefer the corner for the same reasons. Great lines you brought in.

  4. This one is right down my cinematic alley, as dyed-in-cinema movie buff, director of Tacoma Film Club, & ex-actor myself, I can dig it beyond remoteness, far out, where most men have not gone before, knowing most men need a little madness, because I love you, Shane, even though I could tear your arms off, you scum-sucking pig, for anyone named rosebud has always relied on the kindness of strangers because I am Spartacus.

    1. lol, Glenn. Can't identify all of what you said but love the mixture! Do you know Hank Isaac? He's from Everett, WA. Director, screenwriter, short films. Just wondered cuz same neck of the woods. Westerns and gladiator movies were not my cup of tea. A guy thing probably. My husband has to watch Longmire when I'm far away from the tv ;-O

  6. Enjoyed the weaving of quotes and movie stuff ~ I am not so hardcore as my hubby, but we enjoy movies out of the house every so often ~

  7. I think one of the hardest things to pull off in poetry is humor. But you have succeeded wholly. >KB

    'and nothing looks like Kansas
    to me
    not that i knew what it looked like ever'
    Thanks for making me smile.

  11. My husband always mixes up his sayings which make me giggle, but I do know what he means most of the time.
