NO TELLING JUST YET
Old public buildings so often end up in a kind of limbo. When the former one-room schoolhouses got decommissioned, most spent some decades as community halls, but eventually entered into indeterminate life support. Who decides what comes next? If no one, then nothing. You can only spend so much time propping up the past without some permanent purpose. Even more than the most crumbling and derelict structures I encounter, ones like these seem the most haunted. They are like mausoleums to memories locked inside. Lawn mowed, decent shingles, vinyl siding – but the power is off, curtains hang ragged, and paint peels around the windows. The weather works a steady wearing, year by aching year. Comealong future to a long and languid history. No telling just yet if this is the start of the end or an intermission.

For all, YOU, who try to get me. I’m a bit complex but never boring 😋. I like the numbers, I’d say they are kinda pretty accurate, even with definitions I don’t like much like nerdy I like to keep my overall balance, just in my taste. #opensky #jumphigh #guaranteedgoodsound #iplayme #funrollinglife #comealong #imagine #entertainment #lifesasituationcomedy #rollingstones #music #picture #everything #life #worldoflove https://www.instagram.com/p/CTVEcw-pSub/?utm_medium=tumblr
A favorite song for when you'd like to get away. Listen for the vacuum cleaner.
Come Along

Lyrics:
Come along catch a Hefalump,
Sit with me on a muddy clump,
We’ll sing a song of days gone by.
Run along now don’t be glum,
Get you gone now have some fun,
Don’t be long for the end is nigh.
Don’t let moments pass along and waste before your eyes,
March with me and the Borogoves,
Come with me and the Slithy Toves,
And never ask us why.
Come come come come come along now,
Run away from the humdrum,
We’ll go to a place that is safe from
Greed, anger and boredom,
We’ll dance and sing till sundown
And feast with abandon,
We’ll sleep when the morning comes
And we’ll rise by the sound of the birdsong.
We’ll be here when the world slows down
And the sunbeams fade away.
Keeping time by a pendulum as the fabric starts to fray.
There’s no such thing as time to kill
Nor time to throw away.
So once for the bright sky,
Twice for the pig sty,
Thrice for another day.
Come come come come come along now,
Run away from the humdrum,
We’ll go to a place that is safe from
Greed, anger and boredom,
We’ll dance and sing till sundown
And feast with abandon,
We’ll sleep when the morning comes,
And we’ll rise by the sound of the birdsong.
Come with me catch a rare type specimen,
Cuddle up with a hesitant skeleton,
We’ll break our fast with friends,
Once we’re fed we shall disappear rapidly.
Many moons to the west of here and happily
Our journey never ends.
Shut your ears when sirens sing,
Tie arm bands to your feet.
Listen up and you won’t go wrong again,
Float along on a verseless song and then
Get to where the two ends meet.
Come come come come come along now,
Run away from the hum drum.
We’ll go to a place that is safe from
Greed anger and boredom,
We’ll dance and sing till sundown
And feast with abandon,
We’ll sleep when the morning comes,
And we’ll rise by the sound of the birdsong.
