Therapeutic Art Pyrovandalism by ~SirCellophane:iconSirCellophane:





If I ever buy new shoes
I want to put explosives in my old ones.
Rockets maybe. And set them off somewhere public,
but not too public, so
you have to go a little out of your way
to see them.

And if you’re lucky they’ll still be smoking,
Like you just missed me Astro Boy outta here.
Or explode.

I might leave a message under each sole
for the curious or the cleaner or the constable who
picks them up.

And if the sole burns,
so be it.

I’ll be gone.

First version had a typo in it. I am ashamed.

I don't like the ending yet. Needs more.
Your thoughts.





The word "sabotage" came from people breaking shit with shoes.

I really like the first stanza, very 'mysterious' and dreamy<sic>.

second hits me as quite, william shatner-ish, not that that's a bad thing, i love the guy.

The rest, yes, i feel it's lacking a little.
Maybe it seems a little rushed?

Maybe, instead of, like the first 2 stanzas, that last two being "if" and "maybe" statements, they could be more powerful were they more definitive.

It's very good though, and I do like it.

There's no such thing as talent.
There is only desire.

I can almost see it being performed in the theatre...... the speaker wrapped in his story telling the audience with a group in the bakgroup do a movement playing out the backstorty and another meaning..... it could be beautiful..... i do like this very much

Everything happens for a reason...

You are with me for all the reasons in the world!

I was very confused as to why there was a typo in the version I saw. I thought perhaps something was wrong. With you, I mean. I already knew there was something wrong with the spelling. Anyway, I do like it. I really do. It was quite inspirational at the time. I haven't made anything physical of it yet. But perhaps I'll borrow it for thought processes that may lead to images? Providing you approve.
:iconsurfacetension:
Oh, I also love the picture.
:iconplacebo-remedy:
I loved the honesty in this; it had a real genuine feeling about it.
I've read it three times over now, and I'm not going to lie, I like it more each time... I love the finish, how it seems sort of cocky but tired, you know?
Not a big fan of the astro boy reference, lol. :/
Well done, instant fave!

i remember when u texted that to me. Thought it was freakin' brilliant. Then I got a donut, and that was just so damn good.
:iconsircellophane:
Thank you. I think it needs to be longer before it can be performed with any meaning though.

Don't.
:iconsircellophane:
Sorry to turn an idea that I wanted to share with only my friends into a public thing. Again. I'm not sure why, but sometimes these things are so pushy to get out and meet people.

Do whatever you fancy with this one. There's probably more to be done with this concept visually than verbally. It's only an instant. Which may be why it fizzles at the end.

--
Don't.
:iconsircellophane:
Thank you. My friend Peter took that. Late night after a rehearsal I crashed at his house.

This is me after midnight when I've had coffee.

Don't.
