Carpe diem

Carpe diem

A Story by Jeannette Lunete

Chopsticks in her hair. A pipe in his mouth. 
Stuffed moles joining the scratched wall next to Warhol cans and LPs of indignant Didgeridoo players.
Somewhere somehow a  ceiling above the atmosphere is gazing interlaced cuticles.
Our cuticles. I mean their cuticles. 
Somewhere sprinkles are chasing rotten daisies in her hair. While in the middle of nowhere glow worms are chasing his eyes. 

It's not a great suprise. At this moment our eyes are closed. Like they are humming to each other : "Imagine a fluorescent reticulation blinding your already immersed blindness. Did you? Well keep your white can, I prefer to walk alone. Imaginary friends are welcome. The silent passing ones chiefly. "

Our minds are wearing Guy Fawkes masks too. They are whispering to each other:"Why should I mind? Broca's area is a dungeon where you're served not even by darkness itself. Your former nigthmares there suddenly transform into lullabies. Ripped off graves are suddenly beds of roses. You start to beg fragile whispers to never stop to cosher your veins.  The Great Aorta is trying to escape through the spacing of the grid."

Kill their murmur. 
Bury the revolution.
Carpe diem.

Okay, I admit it, my first thought when reading the title, was Robin Williams' whispering, "Carpe Diem . . . Seize the Day, Boys . . . Carpe Diem." A quote from 'The Dead Poet Society.'

Kill their murmur, bury the revolution

The digging up of old transgressions and memories, acceptance of their existence, but able to keep them buried, no longer mourning their lost, and able to keep the dirt pack tight to prevent future arising; thus forget the past, Carpe Diem, seize the day ......... I maybe interpreting this wrong, if I am, my apologies . . . very interesting and entertaining read. Well done.

your are welcome
I admit reading your pieces is always refreshing.. there is nothing cliche in them.. the use of language is done creatively and skillfully.. the imagery in this one is what got me.. it twisted and turned in my mind as to the meaning layered within this write.. the reader gets lost and never know what to expect and I love that.. another well written roller coaster that I enjoyed... not sure exactly where I went, but what a ride!

Thanks a lot April for your steady graciousness. I'm glad that you enjoyed the road. I appreciate it.. read more
Reading this was like being lost in a confusing but very alluring maze...images just out of your grasp that can be comprehended in their entirety but never truly deciphered and dissected. It has a stream of consciousness feel to it that I really like. As if images that come to your mind are directly being put down on paper without any external modifications. A very innovative piece!

Dear Jeannette I would be the last one to comment on technicalities but I assume you would want to know that imaginery would want to become imaginary. I will just go and venture as I often do but with no certainty I admit. I read this as the innevitable realazation of those who are a sleep in dreams or a sleep out of their own will. Intentionally asleep even. Numbness conquered so to speak. Then the ones that intentionally prefer to wear the masks to conform.

How about a silent revolution then?

Thankyou
