She Sleeps Tight

Sleeps so tight
she has a marksman's eye.
Maker's mark
tattoo firewater spine.
Leather shoes
but nowhere to go.

Dice and coins
scattered in the snow.
Dice and coins
scattered in the snow.

Won't be long,
until I see her face.
She's waiting
in an undisclosed place.
I've been conspired
banned from my muse.

This won't stick
poor boy's all confused.
This won't stick
poor boy's all confused.

In Salem town
she keeps her chin so high.
Darkened breeze
she smiles as I roll by.
Step inside
she looks for tables left.

Wink at time
nothing lasts except yourself.
Wink at time
nothing lasts except yourself.

Like a Steamboat
she plans to roll on down.
To the Gulf
out of this dirty town.
Copper mesh
kept stuffed in a jar.

Sharp cold hit
turning wine to water.
Sharp cold hit
turning wine to water.

We know him
eye deed by his ship.
In a trap
a kind of goosechase trip.
Whiskey fumes
and stale gunsmoke.

Sunk and drowned
with all her knives and jokes.
Sunk and drowned
with all her knives and jokes.

Sleeps so tight
she has a marksman's eye.
Maker's mark
tattoo firewater spine.
Leather shoes
but nowhere to go.

you're so damn nosy and insensitive will!

That was unintentional, Rachel, I just try to facilitate things.

Reminds me of Ava Gardner to Frank Sinatra in the movie "The Rat Pack" I watched last night at George's house, Ava told Frank:

"You sing like an angel, Frank, I love the way you sing. When you open your mouth, you should just... sing."

In other words, sing, baby, or S.T.F.U.

She Sleeps Tight

Sleeps so tight
she has a marksman's eye.
Maker's mark

Is that a whisky? And is marksman's eye
A play on the brand?

Firework tattoo on her spine?

Leather shoes

Ok

but nowhere to go.

She goes places but nowhere of significance?

Dice and coins
scattered in the snow.

A new game?

Dice and coins

Won't be long,

She's waiting
in an undisclosed place.

Ok incognito ergo sumwhere

I've been conspired
banned from my muse.

Ok, any details?


This won't stick
poor boy's all confused.

Ok I like to say screw the clock too

Like a Steamboat

Best stanza by far!

Sharp cold hit
turning wine to water.

The brand wasn't that important, it could have just been a drink in a "whiskey bar", as Jim Morrison might have put it.

Right you are, and good catch, Pendragon.

======================================================================
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alabama_Song

The "Alabama Song"—also known as "Moon of Alabama", "Moon over Alabama", and "Whisky Bar"—is an English song written for Bertolt Brecht by his close collaborator Elisabeth Hauptmann in 1925 and set to music by Kurt Weill for the 1927 play Little Mahagonny. It was reused for the 1930 opera Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny and has been notably covered by The Doors and David Bowie.

The "Alabama Song" was written as a poem in idiosyncratic English for Bertolt Brecht by his close collaborator Elisabeth Hauptmann in 1925[1] and published in Brecht's 1927 Home Devotions (German: Hauspostille), a parody of Martin Luther's collection of sermons.

Basically, when the bar had no George Dickel, they would often have Maker's Mark.

how did i miss this? ugh. and wielded. i think i meant wheeled...she was in a bed designed by father, which turned her automatically, which she lived in (as a vegetable :-///) for 11 years without a bed sore or fluid in her lungs.

anyway, yeah, my other grandmother, whom i never really knew.

Please, Olga sounds likes a large russian woman in a peasant dress wielding a rolling pin with thick eyebrows and a big fat hairy black mole on her lip.
It was also my Grandmother's name. :-) (never knew her)

i remember when they wielded her out when i was 3 (i think), when she died. born and died on yom kippur.

This is your other grandmother, I think, not the grandmother who wrote the poetry you post here?

how did i miss this? ugh. and wielded. i think i meant wheeled...she was in a bed designed by father, which turned her automatically, which she lived in (as a vegetable :-///) for 11 years without a bed sore or fluid in her lungs.
anyway, yeah, my other grandmother, whom i never really knew.

Yes, that use of "wielded" did make me wonder, in a way it seems to work, descriptively.

She Sleeps Tight / Will Dockery & The Shadowville All-Stars (Sandy Madaris, Brian Mallard, Jack Snipe, paintings by George Sulzbach)
https://www.reverbnation.com/artist/video/14212734?0
She Sleeps Tight
Sleeps so tight
she has a marksman's eye.
Maker's mark
tattoo firewater spine.
Leather shoes
but nowhere to go.
Dice and coins
scattered in the snow.
Dice and coins
scattered in the snow.
Won't be long,
until I see her face.
She's waiting
in an undisclosed place.
I've been conspired
banned from my muse.
This won't stick
poor boy's all confused.
This won't stick
poor boy's all confused.
In Salem town
she keeps her chin so high.
Darkened breeze
she smiles as I roll by.
Step inside
she looks for tables left.
Wink at time
nothing lasts except yourself.
Wink at time
nothing lasts except yourself.
Like a Steamboat
she plans to roll on down.
To the Gulf
out of this dirty town.
Copper mesh
kept stuffed in a jar.
Sharp cold hit
turning wine to water.
Sharp cold hit
turning wine to water.
We know him
eye deed by his ship.
In a trap
a kind of goosechase trip.
Whiskey fumes
and stale gunsmoke.
Sunk and drowned
with all her knives and jokes.

No, I see Olga as more like Janet Leigh as the Russian pilot in the "Jet Pilot" movie, where "She's got Jet Pilot eyes..." came from:

Looks like that I-Pad touch screen is real sensitive, four repeat posts of this.

Glad to see you're learning how to operate it though, George.

well, i'm hovering around 200 (i went up a few before i hurt my knee, but being bedridden, i'm hoping i've shaved them back off....) and i hide in 3Xs....but if you don't have that you could send a 2X that might work, too. but i'm afraid XL just won't cut it.

i couldn't even sleep tight in it. it would probably cut off my circulation! lol!!!

Well, since the shirt is suitable for framing... you could just hang it on the wall if it doesn't fit.

I do have some really big shirts, because Henry Conley insisted that really huge ones are the shirts that sell best, for some reason.

I was even told that t-shirts usually outsell CDs and other merchandise by a huge margin, rate, or whatever the word those types use.

There is a decent chance you'd run into my friend Basil Fitzpatrick, who lives in LA, does some acting, things like walk-ons on soap operas and tv commercials.

Basil also runs Artemis Records, which is the official internet distributor of the Shadowville Speedway CD.

http://artemisrecords.net/wp/will-dockery/

Basil is a nice, friendly guy who would definitely speak to you if he spotted you wearing the t-shirt.

she has a marksman's eye.
Maker's mark

Leather shoes

Love your paintings GJ.

Last night I admired the painting of yours my daughter has hanging in her kitchen.

I'll get a photo of it online next visit over to her house.

That said....

I mean since this painting is probably unseen by the general populace.
