| Swan Songs
We all have them.
The magnum opus of sanity.....or INsanity, if that is your brand. MY particular strain of the insanity complex varies from day to day....some days worse or better than others.....entirely depending on how one percieves the weight of everyday madness, genius.....emotion.
Our Swan Song comes whn we are at the height or bottom of one's depths of perception of emotion....after all one man's madness is another man's genius, just ask Jackson Pollack. My point is it all depends on the Moment one decides to let go of the wheel.....to relinquish control.....to mash the accelerator to the floor, or slam on the brakes.
Often that Swan Song is playing the moment one steps on those brakes only to find they do not exist.....that moment, that second....when the question comes......you either choose to play your Swan Song as loud as you can.........or the Song plays you. Either way you have passed through the thin membrane between light and dark......the grey so to speak.
I was playing my Swan Song at full volume when i was SI'ing......i won't unleash that particular demon here....but suffice to say, my song was heard for miles and went on for days.....even weeks.
It's that moment.....that second right now. Do you crank it up and rip off the knob, or quell the volume and tell yourself everything is fine.....i choose to stop at the local electronics store.....buy the biggest amp i can find and plug it in on ten. |
