This Is Not A Code

This Is Not A Code -- collage by douglas brent smith  

we three smiles

we three smiles    rolling on the floor    bounce around the room and then    smile some more         we three smiles    making up new games    dance around the table laughing    at our names        we three smiles    hug and tug and grin    praise the Lord for living in    the world we're in.        -- douglas brent smith, 10 March 1987 

We Both Know

  We Both Know (douglas brent smith) you’ve been hurt i’ve been hurt, too    everyone’s hurt you know it’s true    we build ever taller walls     and hope someday that they might fall         you tell your truth, i start the chase    you throw another beer in my face    i think there must be something more to this        we try and miss and try again    we don’t need labels but we’re more than friends    you don’t need to tell anyone and    i don’t need to tell anyone but    i think you know what i think you already know        you’ve been free and i’ve been free    let’s unlock this mystery    you be you and i’ll be me    this is us we both agree    and i think we know what we both know

  They Have Identified The Stranger -- collage by douglas brent smith    "Is it finished?"   "Is anything ever finished?"   "Yes. Lou Grant. The TV show 'Lou Grant' is definitely finished."    "You can never be sure. There could be a remake."    "Are you going to remake this collage."    "Doubtful."    "Are you ever going to colorize it?"   "Also doubtful and yet also possible." "Oh."
