Short Stories – Poetry – Creative Nonfiction
I commit to myself
I commit to you
I commit to whatever
You tell me to do
I’m rough around the edges
And chilled to the bone
No more spark in my eye
Cruel seeds have been sown
There is something inside
Palpable and fearsome
I can’t let you touch it
The Joker of my kingdom
We commit to the game
Joker and Pauper
Get a load of me
And get a load of the horror.

“Get a load of me”… 1989 Batman… don’t tell me your subconscious saw you as The Joker

This post has nothing to do with that movie…
and… in the movie, he says, ‘wait ’til they get a load of me.’
Still, my post isn’t about that.. it is a stream of conscious poem.

Now you got me going too. Love the way you think. FIY, 1989 Batman is still the best one… If you say the Batman vs Superman is better, I’ll do something, not anything violent, but something. 😀

No, I won’t remove the comment… As soon as you brought it up I heard Nicholson saying ‘Wait’ll they get a load of me.’ Still, this has nothing to do with that.

Well i get it now. A knowledgeable person once told me that there are a*****es(yes, he said that word),
who would ruin a perfectly good post by making a comment that has nothing to do with the post. And start a whole new conversation.
I laughed when I heard that.
Only now do I realise after reading your Comments that I have become that a*****e.
Again Lesson learnt (the hard way),

It’s all good, Sight11… we’re all human here after all. I’m just trying to become a better writer and get to the next level. I appreciate a challenge once in a while… it keeps me in check. Take it easy! 😀

Well written, however it has a dark pull to it. I mean, total commitment, cold bones… Not pretty picture. Just sayin’.

Thanks, I think? Or maybe not… That’s the awe of the things we see… the interpretation is in the eye of the beholder. What you see as a ‘pretty picture’ may, in fact, be viewed differently by someone else. Beauty can be deceptive.
