Longer Owns …

I

don't know where I am.

I

am floating through time and space. And it is flying and gliding at the same time.

And all of a sudden we are in the middle of another November.

One advantage of separated bodies and minds is that the mind is able to travel with light-speed from one place to another. But it is even quicker than light-speed. It is thoughts-speed.

Now my mind is in my empty penthouse apartment above the fifteenth floor of the skyscraper building on 666 Whitaker Lane. And now it is by the pool-side on the former prison but now hotel island called Askatraz in the bay of Bromford, the friendly town by the shore and seaside.

That is where I have laid down my body.

And a llama is watching over me, coming closer and closer. And now… What is going on down there?

THE ANIMAL IS KISSING ME !!!

'Dude', the llama cries out. 'This is mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. That old sack of a body of yours stopped breathing somehow!"

It is getting chilly out here on the porch by the backyard garden, the antagonist says.

These are the ghosts and spirits walking by and gathering for Halloween and All Saints, says the protagonist, make sure that you are well remembered and not forgotten when you pass over to the other side.

Now you are giving me the chills, Prot, the antagonist says. Better stop listening to that Nick Cave songs. Looking at those early covers I think he is a vampire.

Two-thousand-eighteen Shades Of Bromford - Part 183

Today is Wednesday, the 27th of October 2021.

RhinoceROSES always claim they are no warriors.
But they have one big enemy in the universe.
Spider - MEN ...

"The Man Of Bromford Steals Our Hearts"

One two three four
Two two three four

Trouble falls in my home
Troubled man, troubled stone
Turn a mountain of lies
Turn a card for my life

Man of steel, man of heart
Tame our ways, if we start
To devise something more
Something halfways

Only a steel man came to recover
If he had run from gold, carry over
We celebrate our sense of each other
We have a lot to give one another

I took a bus to the lake
Saw the monument face
Yellow tides, golden eyes
Red and white, red and wise
Raise the flag, summer home
Parted hair and part unknown
If I knew what I read
I’ll send it halfways

Only a real man can be a lover
If he had hands to lend us all over
We celebrate our sense on each other
We have a lot to give one another

Took my bags, Illinois
Dreamt the lake took my boy
Man of steel, man of heart
Turn your ear to my part

There are things you have said
Raise the boat and raise the dead
If you take us away
Still we can say

Only a steel man can be a lover
If he had hands to tremble all over
We celebrate our sense of each other
We have a lot to give one another
Only a steel man can be a lover
If he had hands to tremble all over
We celebrate our sense of each other
We have a lot to give one another

Longer Pants …

Toss a coin
and you will get a 50:50 chance.

Head or number.
Good or bad.
Black or white.

Think out of the box.
Think out of the circle.
Break the circle.

What if the coin lands on the edge.
The third side of a coin.
Head, number and edge.

There always is a third possibility.
There always is a third way.

And what if the coin never lands?

Think about it !!!

"In Bromford There's A Rumble Under The Ground"


[TROUBLEMAKER]
In Bromford there's a rumble under the ground
It's the sound of the printing press
And like a volcano when it blows
It spews out ideas like confetti, like snow

[BOY]
Read all about it!
Hold the front page!
The street's a theatre
Each café...

[CHORUS & CHILDREN]
A stage!

[RINGMASTER]
But under every café awning
There appears this papal warning

[TROUBLEMAKER]
His Holiness the Pope, I fear
Believes the Rights of Man to be a bad idea

[REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST]
The pope does not want the rights of Man

[COMPANY]
The pope does not want the rights of Man

[REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST]
He finds them too profane

[COMPANY]
He finds them too profane

[REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST]
When a man bites the apple

[COMPANY]
When a man bites the apple

[REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST]
He gets a taste for liberty

[COMPANY]
He gets a taste for liberty

[REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST]
He gets... a taste of liberty

[MALE CHORUS]
He gets... a taste of liberty

[ALTAR BOY]
The Pope declares that it's a sin

[MALE CHORUS]
The pope declares that it's a sin

[TROUBLEMAKER]
So let us raid the apple tree
Although the Pope does not agree
He blesses us with sleight of hand
He doesn’t want the Rights of Man

[ALTAR BOY]
The Pope declares that it's a sin

[MALE CHORUS]
The Pope declares that it's a sin

[REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST]
The Pope declares that it's... a sin
People are sharing the apples
The Pope says Bless You but it's still a sin

[COMPANY]
The Pope says Bless You but it's still a sin

[REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST]
The Pope gives his blessing with sleight of hand

[COMPANY]
The Pope gives his blessing with sleight of hand

[REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST]
He doesn't want the

[REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST & MALE CHORUS]
Rights... of Man

[ALTAR BOY]
The Pope declares that it's a sin

[MALE CHORUS]
The Pope declares that it's a sin

[TROUBLEMAKER]
But the Pop can change his mind like that
Like trying on a different hat
Turning on the stars above and politics and God and love
Turning like an apple that shrivels on the sand
And when the core is rotten
No one tastes the Rights of Man

[REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST]
You never taste the Rights of Man...

[CHORUS]
He does not want the Rights of Man
The Pope does not want the Rights of Man
He's made his stand
He washes his hands
The Pope does not... want the Rights of Man

[REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST]
Nothing but a prayer to hope for
Nothing but a little wine to dream
Nothing for this hunger but a handful of grain
The horizon always the same

[REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST & TROUBLEMAKER]
Rooted in this earth
Like our parents dead and gone
Like the trees which are our emblem
The horizon just goes on and on
We'll change it with a forest

[REVOLUTIONARY PRIEST, TROUBLEMAKER & CHORUS]
The olive and the oak tree
Will be our flags

[Curtain]

Longer Brains …

Askatraz. My body is on Askatraz. Did we ever mention that name? Do you remember the former prison island in the Bromford Bay right in sight and across Bromford Harbour? My companion llama and I went there on a short holiday before some Christmas holidays now that the former prison island is a hotel complex. We -the animal and I - were private investigators at that time - or at least pretended to be. We pretended to investigate death threats against Lady Hesketh-Fortescue, the owner of the North Cothelstone Hall Hotel on the former prison island - today still known as Askatraz.

And I once heard Mr. Winterbottom - the managing director of the hotel - talk about Askatraz being the only prison in the 1950s with warm-water showers. And the water was not hot because of kindness or wellness reasons but to prevent the prisoners from getting used to cold water so that they would not dare to jump into the cold waters of Bromford Bay to escape the prison swimming.

My mind wandered off to the past and out of my body about one week ago, left my body laying by the hotel pool watched and guarded by the animal.

»Would a fish wear pants?« the antagonist asks.

»I don't think we should asks those questions«, says the protagonist. »We are paying to much attention to Bromford's madness.«

»The Madness has him?« the antagonist asks.

»The Madness is a network made of … well, yes… madness.«

The protagonist goes into deeper thinking not really satisfied with the end of this blockblog post.

Two-thousand-eighteen Shades Of Bromford - Part 181

Today is Monday, the 11th of October 2021.

A seal and a hippopotamus are staring at time on my way down.
And they are all made of wood.

Wait a minute. Did I really manage to skip Tuesday as quiz day?
This is not right. How can I fix this? And how can I go on posting from now on?

I will have to figure out something...

"They Also Mourn Who Do Not Wear Black
(For the Homeless in Bromford)"

If you happen to be educated

Time it marches on,

Oh time it marches on.

In the end there is a sacred show

Delivers every song,

Delivers every song.

Mourning steps and

Mourning gallivants

And mourning never shows,

No mourning never slows.

If the avatar reminds that it

Will never stand at all,

Will never stand as tall.

Since the water made it,

Most to sail it,

Made it most to song,

It made it most to song.

For the politics are not political

For what they stand,

For not what they demand.

Every senator and diplomat

Combines her certain part,

A matter for the heart.

Save yourself from recognition.

Selfless and quite song

To better get along.

(We love you. We Chose to.

We made to. We love you.)

If we concentrate and pull

Resources to the highest poll,

To beat the highest pull, too.

Ever will we conquer grief

And find it faster to resolve

The dead, to be absolved

And fed, to restore.

If the advantageous

Reprimand misgivings,

We wont grow.

We will not ever know.

We will not!

(Lift my life in healthy places!)

How could you connect a dung beetle to another animal?
Dung beetles' dung balls look like... well... balls. They are round.
But this brings me further away from the connection I want to make.
Balls... colourful balls... SEALS!!! 🦥
No seal emoji, sorry.
Seals like to balance balls on the tipp of their noses. That's what THEY say...

Whatever... Song quiz... guess or google or whatever what city this song is about.


"New Bromford"

Sally’s got a car

She’ll take us out of this place

Cause World War II is out of our face

I can’t convince your to come

You’re going to have to do that yourself

But you’ll seduce me none the less

It’s what you were trained to do

Your taller than I hoped you’d be

I guess didn’t pay attention

As long as you fit in the front seat

It’s fine with me

When I get tired you’ll drive

You know the station I like

Just be still in your seat

And listen, to what drove me here

Peter’s got a place

He’s been begging us to come up

But I told you not to talk

When I’ve got needs

Filled up your womb

And you called the police

Your father’s the police

And your mother, she knows this scene

Sorry you missed a test

Sorry you missed a dance

Sorry your mom hates me so much

Cause I’m everything she wants in a man

Sorry you missed a test

Sorry you missed that last dance

Sorry your dad hates me so much

Cause I’m doing everything he wished he could have

In this bed, in this room

I’ll take it

I’ll take it

I’ll take it

I’ll take it

Longer Livings …

Woke up. I don't remember where it was. Green Window. I am a superhero now and my superpower is the indifference. I face every threat with a shrug and a "Who Cares???".

I know I keep repeating myself. Life is a flat circle.

Do you want to know your own superhero name?

Take the colour of your shirt and add the next closest thing to your right hand side.

And guess what… When they gave me my superhero name … Green Window … I was wearing a green polo-shirt … typos short and shit do not make sense here … and I was sitting right next to a window … well in fact left to a window from the window's point of view. And now I have to save the world every evening.

But not caring indifferently and ignoring the problems of the world are not my only superpower. I also have the ability to leave my body and leave it behind. My mind wanders off when I am standing right next to me … literally.
