Poetry of Reality: The Art of Compartmentalization



The Art of Compartmentalization




The quiet solitude
Confinement within a crowd

Through Hubble lenses
I see the rose colored glass
Clearly now

When your word and actions
Remind me of the meaning of distance
Akin to a bridge too far

As you ask me
How can it be so easy?
To turn the switch from on to off

My retort

Just ask yourself
Turn that introspection on self
To see why you are where you are

For it is for you
That each door and window are closed

The boundaries that you need ensue
The disconnect that is your que
And all the other things that you
Have chosen to want

The circles
Inner circle
Inner sanctum
The walls

You asked and shall receive

The compartment
That makes you comfortable
The place that you want

Compartmentalization

Mind
Body
And soul

Is it what you thought?

Guns, Knives, Crime, Moonshine and an Anniversary

Last weekend and week were celebratory moments as well as the usual moments of reflection.  I haven't celebrated an anniversary outside of Chocolate Doll in a long time. But it has been 3 years since the bet with red about little one. And here we are.

From disdain to a 3 year later thing. Made for things to be very interesting indeed. Hell, between her and red is why things are more refined, strict and forbidden.

So, our trip to Sevierville aka Sevierville was definitely lively and full of adventure. (as all trips with me go lol)

The wilderness hotel or resort was definitely out to get you from the beginning to the end lol. Kids running up and down the hallways with the signs on the walls everywhere for them not to and their womb and sperm donors to control them.  The difference between their two buildings are night and day. lol A hard bed and not smoker friendly at all. But hey, we stayed on the go most of the time while we were there anyway.

Got our eat on. A local rib spot which wasn't bad. The bark was a little over cooked.  Was going to do paula deens but that was a 30 to 40 minute wait so no thank you. Hit Timberline and had a great bison burger with excellent baked beans. ( I got the baked beans recipe and the bison was cooked correct for medium.) The upscale dinner was not good at all at the bistro 109 though.

So, I blame my old biker buddy from the cigar shop for turning me on to Smokey mountain knife and gun works. if there had been more time I would have spent at least another hour in there. So many goodies. and things to enjoy. They had everything. I got me a new toy though.


Definitely getting more and if you need to get me something then there is one good place to shop. lol

Lastly hit the forbidden caverns. A beautiful subterranean trip to look at rock formations and where they use to make moonshine in the prohibition days. They even left a steal and the barrels there as warnings after the tax people busted them.

I took a bunch of pics at the Alcatraz East Crime museum. It was quite an adventure reading and looking at things from gangsters, assasins and serial killers.

I look forward to going back and having more of an adventure. hell I didn't even make it to the air museum lol
