Ollie is selling axe handles

 

from this week in September, 2010  (I was 65)

 

Ollie is selling axe handles

   at the lumberjack convention

      guaranteed for a lifetime

         two for the price of one

            but everyone’s buying the chainsaw

               Ollie frets his misfortune

               Stanley hears the accordion sing

            a song from the thick hands

         of the black-bearded big man

      sitting on a stump

   in his checkered woolen shirt

He sees Stanley dance round the axe handle

              

-I began a series of pieces using Laurel and Hardy as

representations of right brain and left brain perception.

Not an original idea, I got it from Colin Wilson’s study,

Frankenstein’s Castle.  More appear in later posts.
