Oh Well. (ode to O. Welles)

heroes can be born in dark alleys
just as revolutionaries can dominate political rallies.
artists will thrive away from corporate nightmares
ask the genius who made it before anyone else got there.

Cuckoo clocks,
who woulda thought?
Careful, you'll bump your head on the ceiling.
One word adventures to explain a life?
European Intrigue catch ya on a bad night?
Or was it the Mexican border town
that turned your smile upside down?

ahead of his time
fuse burned out too quick
let himself go
in the end
lonely, sad
misunderstood
rosebud
unfinished things
love from many
visuals change lives
ow
