EVERYTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT A REASON - Spoken Word by David Randall Curtis

[77plainjane]

Love it! I ran across this as a response to Nyki's song - Broken Hearts and Dental Floss Seams. Beautiful!

[JamesWalterOrr]

Great one!

Easy

[sonofwalt]

omg, I think I know her!

[DavidRandallCurtis]

@sonofwalt : thanks for the comment and that last original of yours--you knocked it out of the park! When you say you knew her--do you mean you literally knew "bb" or the poem just reminded you of someone in your life? Just wondering... peace :)

[StLennyBruce]

You oughta come to paris. Weather's pretty decent nowadays. You could write.

[DavidRandallCurtis]

StLennyBruce: I am sure it is nice. But I think you could inspire a thousand more poems than any city could ever hope to. :)

[MsWriteNow]

I have to say, this is one of my all-time favorites. I think of all your poems, this one has the most beauty in it.

[TheILLiteratePoet]

"a hangover is a small price to pay for such wonder"

[WetlandsRemediation]

We have given that some thought.

Hangovers seen to be avoided simply by reusing to sober in the first place.

[shapeofabox]

a perfect line :)

[nukecat]

youve done it again ,mr curtis!!! beautiful ,mega stars to you.

[clayLavl]

when does Mone get to recite a poem?

btw..great poem. You have a style all your own, bro.

[maninwhitedress]

As long as it doesn't ruin your liver.

[krinkly]

bravo!

[TheRavenOfPoe]

Your way with words and expression is masterful ^^

"I don't understand her

and don't pretend to;

I just enjoy watching

my bar-hopping firefly

light up the city;"

Absolutely loved it! =)

[mooohamhead]

This is beautiful.

[Sizzletube]

[IraqIsWhack]

[IraqIsWhack]

"You're pretty when I'm drunk" LOL good stuff 5 stars

[80stimeagain]

I don't know what to say about this one except i like it somehow.

[DavidRandallCurtis]

kcatthedog: Thanks for the comment... you have a good eye (or should I say ear) -- peace!

[kcatthedog]

really appreciated the juxtoposition of perspectives; the almost prejudging tone and then the movement to appreciation of the other person's view/ way of iving; very engaging  thank you !

[mnilandcom]

magnifique! :D

[dashpoet]

Life would be so dull without the free spirits!

[DavidRandallCurtis]

DashPoet: Right you are sir! You'll buy the first round I take it? :p

Thanks for the comment ;)

[EdMuirton]

Excellence David! Fabulous atmosphere! Much enjoyed! Cheers!

[UntamedBlueLight]

She's only wonderous because she defies all logic. Still.... I have to admit,... that's kinda hot.

[Largo64]

And the hits just keep on coming!

[DRU131]

Greatness again.5*s

[ChannelChameleon]

Strolling with The Harlot of Revelation again?- Ask her about the No Hangover Deal......

[DavidRandallCurtis]

ChannelChameleon: Why do I have this sinking feeling that when the Harlot of Revelation comes--that will be the last time anyone gets laid. :p

Thanks for commenting!

[ChannelChameleon]

I wonder if She has millions of Sisters here already.........

[Awwa1]

Great! I'm trying to describe you in my mind, David. What is it about your art? You pick on the same sorts that the great beat poets used with such aplumb. But you write about them with eyes that have seen the next millennium... no that's not quite it either, HA!

Good work as usual!

Peace,

|A/

[DavidRandallCurtis]

Awwa1:  Thank you for the kind words...

[Pamfino]

Excellent, as always, babe!

(Apologizes to Gen for 'wanking' out on another collab? The word 'wanking' presumably doesn't mean the same in the US as it does here in the UK!!!)

Pam x

[korimito]

Haha. How very snide.

@DRC: Well read, as usual (and well written, of course!)

[Pamfino]

Snide? WTF? Crude, yes: snide, no.

(Or is that another word that means something different on my side of the Pond? Forgive me for my ignorance, but I'm not young enough to know everything.) [Thanks to Mr O. Wilde for the use of the line.]

[korimito]

Ah, no, it was a misuse of the word on my behalf. Crude is much better.

[Pamfino]

Well, I'm glad we agree on something, sweetie! Get it right next time,OK? I do crude: YOU do snide!

(By the way, even though you're not from my side of the Pond, you obviously know what the British word 'wank' means. Therefore you'll know there's certainly no verbal misuse on my part when I call you a wanker!)

[DavidRandallCurtis]

Pamfino:  actually, a lewd-crude-snide-wanker pretty much sums me up! :p

Thanks for commenting!

[DavidRandallCurtis]

korimito: Ha... I read this as "snipe" at first... if anyone ever offers to take you on a "snipe hunt" -- don't go! Thanks for commenting! :p

[FreeAdviceForMen]

she must be hot

[DavidRandallCurtis]

FreeAdviceForMen: And she likes her men like she likes her whiskey--aged and mellow :p

(stole that from an old blues song)

[PoetLina]

Priceless in the nicess way 5*'s

[MarasVeil]

Is there not a less happenstansical way to become a visionary? Loved it...

[harleynanda]

Ah, who knows, my friend? Perhaps even if for but the moment she, in her liquid lusciousness, is patron saint to all the back-alley seedy and inebriated and even you, in tow, are having a touch of your own religious experience.

[DavidRandallCurtis]

harleynanda: Well, I do know that I feel closer to God with every drink! :p

Thanks for commenting ;)

[Nyhee7]

Well done, Mr. Curtis. The scenery was interesting without being distracting, and the dusk or dawn set the mood nicely. Your reading of this was very nice. I liked how your poem was a realistic snap-shot of life only the lucky have seen, but so few of us could have written it as well. Five stars, Mr. Curtis, deserving of every one.

[DavidRandallCurtis]

Nyhee7: Thanks very much... you are too kind sir... ;)

[Rouxdeaux]

I'm with twohawks: "loopy lost angel" is brilliant. I'll be saying that phrase over and over to myself all day. :) Fabuleux, mon grande chou!

[heatherlynblue]

it always strikes me how much of a gift your perspective is - more giving, empathic and beautiful with each glimpse.

[twohawksfucking]

I much like "like a loopy lost angel" and the end works wonderfully.

Nice stuff, David. *****

Roy

[PlayboyHerbie]

I don't know what to say except I hope you didn't marry this one too...

Nice work and I'm glad you're getting some sun.

[ZenP]

Excellent... (Said in Mr Burns voice).

[RowanFortuneWood]

Superb, as always. ***** and favourite.

[windham666]

Nicely done young old bean *****stars;)

[CousinoMacul]

Now I'm wondering if the cars were actually slamming their brakes for you.

[DavidRandallCurtis]

CouinoMacul: Naw, usually the bastards speed up when they see my ass! :p

[WetlandsRemediation]

Our compliments to David Randall Curtis, and our commiseration over the traffic issue. Although we have yet to escalate (windshields smashed by a blindman's cane turn most tail), we understand that a jacketed .45 penetrates most any engine block.

[rozeboosje]

:-)

[blackcat355]

Beautiful.

[santiagodevill]

"a hangover, is a small price to pay, for such wonder" its all sow romantic....

[Colston]

Sweet...

[Kabuki0009]

Nicely done old bean *****stars;)

[DavidRandallCurtis]

Kabuki0009: Don't call me "old bean" unless you love me! :p

Thannks man! ;)

[Kabuki0009]

You sure can turn a guy's head old bean ;P

[DavidRandallCurtis]

Kabuki0009: I always suspected you were a slut & cheap & easy! bwa ha ha ha! :p

[liz1060]

This reminds me of your poem "I Guess You Had to Be There" ... maybe because both of them remind me of being 20 years old ... 5*

[DavidRandallCurtis]

liz1060: Thanks a lot. There is one thing this has in common with that poem and that is both talk about people out in the middle of a road oblivious to traffic.

[liz1060]

just oblivious to everything, as I recall ... working my diplomatic immunity before it passed the use by date ;)

[elviradark6]

you still get hung over avid?..^_^...

it looks like its a splendid day out your window!!

5 ******

[elviradark6]

oops excuse my type-o..*David* =)

[liz1060]

oh wow! I read it *as is* which translated into an intended metaphor for drinking too much -- *avid for hangovers* -- I guess I have Freudian slop for brains!

[elviradark6]

a new one for my book ! =)

[janeczka]

Excellent!!!
