Neon Thoughts
It's a colorful world.
I dream in neon colors and swallow toxic fumes
That hover and glitter and glow green
In the dark abyss of night but it's alright
Because I like to dine on the poisonous things.
.
I like to dream in other world's nightmares.
It's easy to sit down and have a meal of fear.
The thing doesn't taste sour to me, it's sweet.
I've dined in Hell itself and left a good review.
.
There is a rhythm dancing on my tongue,
The gentle pa-pump of unsaid words sticking
To the sides of these pipes of the soul,
The neon world of impossibilities and dreams.

"Do It Again" the track that would ultimately open the Beach Boys final album on Capitol Records which was released on February 10th 1969 had originally been released as a single in August of 1968. The track was the first of many post-Pet Sounds era throwbacks to the early Beach Boys sound which would become continually more cliched and eventually lead the Beach Boys to the level of self-parody they would eventually succumb to in the 1980s while their closest contemporaries The Beatles nearing the end of their run in 1969 would go on to be viewed as the most influential band of all time. However, the song itself is not bad on its surface, and it opens with a futuristic sounding (for 1969) drumbeat captured by then-Beach Boys engineer Stephen Desper using tape delays on the drums performed by Dennis Wilson and John Guerin. The song has been re-recorded numerous times over the years on various Beach Boys-related projects most notably the 2011 re-recording at Capitol studios featuring the five surviving Beach Boys at the time backed instrumentally by various members of both the Brian Wilson Band and Mike Loves touring "Beach Boys" to promote the then upcoming Beach Boys 50th Anniversary reunion tour in 2012. The hammering and power drill sound at the end of the song was an excerpt from a track called "Workshop" that was to be a part of the uncompleted "SMiLE" album.

Modern carpeting solutions come with a range of benefits beyond https://ninteriordesign.com/ aesthetics. They offer insulation, soundproofing, and protection, all of which contribute to creating comfortable and functional spaces. Carpets help insulate against cold floors, making rooms feel warmer, and they also reduce noise, a feature that’s especially beneficial in multi-level buildings. Additionally, carpets provide a safe, cushioned surface, reducing the risk of slips and falls.
The depth and sorrow embedded in this poem are revealed in a remarkable way. With your words, you have brought to life an invisible, unimaginable world where symbols like "neon colors" and "toxic fumes" represent the instability and uncertainty of the modern world. "I dream in neon colors" gives a glimpse of a world that, though unusual and poisonous, remains captivating. 😍 "I've dined in Hell itself and left a good review"—this line strikes me as particularly powerful, as it exposes the mental state where even the most painful and difficult experiences in your life have been embraced. It's not just about facing fear, but rather embracing it and finding a strange sweetness within it. 💪 "The gentle pa-pump of unsaid words" speaks to that anguish of the soul that cannot be expressed in words, yet remains present at every moment. The entire composition carries a constant motion, an internal struggle, which presents the complexities of human emotions in a unique way. 😔 Every line of this poem is filled with powerful symbolism, not only making me contemplative but also giving rise to many new perspectives in the mind. Each word evokes deep emotions and takes me into a unique and radiant world where poison, fear, and impossibility emerge as a new kind of sweetness. Wonderful! Congratulations! 🎉
Truly beautiful! So relatable.
Great work!

Absolutely beautiful. I imagine the food was pretty spicy in hell.
Silver, this is just brilliant. Some of the other comments highlight my fave images but really, this is so good from start to finish.
"I like to dine on poisonous things" That line in itself takes my mind on a tangent. This entire poem was a dark and delicious ride. 😈
A good review of Hell? Dante's ghost smiles!
