The Midnight Sun . Strange dark days

Last night in my sleep .. My dad came to visit me .

He asked how I was doing and how I'm holding up .

I tried to explain to him .. How this is the world we now live in .

My words came out incoherent and in several different languages ..

 It was not making any sense .

We sat and I just looked at him ..

Hoping he could read my expression ..

I leaned in and told him in a whisper ..

' The world is upside down . 

The world is strange and dark .

You should not be here .'

Today is a good day to watch the Twilight Zone Marathon ..
While half the people are out .. Half the people are in .

' Even at midnight , it's high noon , 

the hottest day in history .. 

And you are about to spend it ...

in the Twilight Zone .'

{The Midnight Sun by Rod Sterling .}

And watch

The Obsolete man .

It is strange and dark .. With all of the things going on ..

Dark days . Dark weeks . These last three years .

The list is long and it goes on and on .

'You can only postpone reality for so long .'
Top Scientists say .

On and on and on it goes .

Where it stops .. Nobody knows .

That old sing song saying that 

the grifter says 

while spinning his

whirla wheel .

And while the world sleeps ..  Half are hypnotized ..
The whirl wheel doesn't stop . The days don't stop .
The nights don't stop .
It spins and spins . It doesn't stop .
There seems to be no end .

It's the 4th of July .
And somewhere in the back of my mind ..
Sparklers and hot dogs . I miss you dad .
As you would say .. Stay Slow Smooth and Steady .
