Coney Island In My Mind

From 'A Coney Island of the Mind'
Number 20
by Lawrence Ferlinghetti

The pennycandystore beyond the El
is where I first
fell in love
with unreality
Jellybeans glowed in the semi-gloom
of that september afternoon
A cat upon the counter moved among
the licorice sticks
and tootsie rolls
and Oh Boy Gum

Outside the leaves were falling as they died

A wind had blown away the sun

A girl ran in
Her hair was rainy
Her breasts were breathless in the little room

Outside the leaves were falling
and they cried
Too soon! too soon!

First Bloom, First Blog

So this is it, my first blog. Welcome to the world of blogging! What shall I write for all the world to see, as if they care for one more blogger in this e-world. Do I make it interesting to make it worth your while to read? Or should I consider this for personal consumption only? Well, since this is my first posting, I will cut myself some slack and take it easy for a bit. My blog title is not called ECdoesit for nothing. Coz I'm easy... easy as Sunday morning. Yet as complicated as the typhoon... as gentle as a drizzle of rain... as soothing...as calm... as tempestuous and unpredictable. And yet, so refreshing. Here, quench your thirst for some insights filled with mirth and pith.
