[hometext] => A celebration of Mr. Eastwood
[bodytext] => a sultry evening picnic ground of jungly lawn melts into the spanish landscape where he rode serape-clad bathed in horse's sweat -words flowing few & slow- tall strong virtuous brave behind his sixgun, ghost music rolling like cheatgrass tufts across a stark & brutal world. between popcorn scented soda-slick frosty darkened aisles, a hundred fretful faces watched him chase cruel craven villians armed with fast car, big gun & steely wit. he was a celluloid hero, ulysses before light-stealing lenses. from the reverse side of life-gathering lenses, he orchestrates sinuous moves across a landscape of black/indigo & silver glittery new york streets & life-fizzed clubs boiling with flashing bebop notes chasing each other like joyful fireflies. on his chessboard screen he shifts black king, white pawns in a story where weakness is strength, where the flash of a tiny needle brings the mighty down to helplessness and death. clint, unseen, plays his most heroic role ---September 9th, 2003--- [comments] => 1 [counter] => 223 [topic] => 38 [informant] => sugarboy [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Tributes )
