Be Weird




Be weird,
it’s easier!
Read his sign
and that’s what
we shared in 1969—
bowling, poetry and fishing,
moon landings,
chess games
and Drive-Ins—
Sounds of Music
in pouring rain.

  1. Weird is the way to be if it is the way you be. Authenticity is everything!

    That is true Susan. It is easier No inhibitions as long as it does not cross others' paths. Nicely!

  6. It's easier...
    and a world of fun.
    Or maybe it's just because I really love my weird. ♥

  7. Sounds like "living" to me Let the "weird" begin.

  8. Susa, you like me, probably saw more movies at the drive-ins than inside shows. After I had a car, that was.
    I don't remember ever having rain for a show. I do remember driving and sitting in or getting out in the rain.
    I think the sign you had was weird in itself. 1969 was a good year. I became single again. :)

  9. Yes, embrace your weird. I am at the point where I don't give a flip what others think. :)

  10. great last line in this one...
    it sets off a comparison to me in what we believe the mood is
    of pouring rain...

  11. this is nice... reads like a snapshot memory, very sentimental but not sticky-so.

  12. Weird is generally better, except when it is bad weird--easy to tell, because bad weird happens in the dark.

  13. I love the way you doubled the meaning in "sound of music," implying that the fun you had together, the falling in love, was a sound of music. Great message. It is easier to just give in to it, isn't it? And then you're more likely to find your true soul mate, if you're genuinely being yourself.
