God Dam Italian Looking Spaniards

Hello there

I'm just sitting right here, bodiless, staring into the air

Do you see my eyes? Are you scared?

Where am I? I'm not here nor there

I am nothing but a figment of your imagination

I am a conundrum yet an oxymoron in the brain of a moron

Just look at my hair!

I am Italian, a classic moustache

Yet I am Spanish, and art is my past

Look into me, and you will see a rash

You must keep itching because the pain feels like a blast

Dig Deep, for I am nothing, no reality here

Blue sky, blue water

Look over your shoulder and you will be staring at your peer

But I follow you, while you let me

Because this is deep, this shit is heavy

Egg Sun

Sun set onto inessential water left to our broken sun heart
These boys quietly work patching what we have left
So that one day the soul of our sun can return to its heart for protection from the cold
The eight of them work outside in toward the torn center that fell apart apart.
They don’t realize how little time they have before the flash of green light shines with the sun fall
Hundreds of birds hover above trying to figure out what they have left and where to go
I still sit and watch satisfied with what we all have left.
That the water will always flow and the sun will return.

The man sails his ship
over the waves of the sea
The speck of land in the distance being his only source of hope
The waves crash
The wind blows
and the man drives, determined to succeed

But as he nears the shore,
After all these days of fighting,
he realizes.

His life is the ocean.
His ship and the sea are a part of him as much as his flesh and blood.
And as he steps on to shore,
the ground feels alien.

Because he is the ocean
He is a vessel meant for exploration
And he can not live on land.
And he will never leave the ocean again.

Tiger Shark

Holy sh*t I have never seen one of those
A Tiger Shark who would have thought something to come to dominate land and sea
A Bear Cat nobody can fathom predator squared
A Lion Spider the pride and power mixed with the cunning and stealth
An Eagle Snake all mice may fear
A hippo shark now swimming is no longer for the faint of hear
A rhino hawk...wtf
An elephant gator that never forgets to kill
A Scorpian Boar little but the punch it packs rips through you
A baracuda rhino comming straight for you
A spider frog, the poision will get you quick
A wolf shark try and run
its more scared of you then u are of it
no...you are sh*tting your pants and its looking for a snack

Dali and Clay

Earth is but a rounded plate that if I were to walk out on its brim
I would fall
And like the snow and the sleet and the sun that I see fall now
i would stop on the surface of a different earth quite like mine
A place built only by the hands of god, its elements are crazed
The sunami would cleanse me
my home gone giving me a fresh start to build
and the sun burning my skin
its prickled popping revealing who i truly am

Dali and Clay

Time for trouble, a twisting time, a turning time
Time that can fall down
Water is time
A twisting flowing motion with no rhyme nor reason
The time that we make, changes time
We don’t count it, nor know it
But time still is
An outburst of emotion,
The tears falling off a silken dress
stained with the salt of emotion
the legs intertwined with time, gripping it as one would a life preserver, floating in the open ocean
A fearful grasp, one that conveys the fear, that displays the levity of an emotion as of yet unknown
We see the water dissolve itself, self destructive as with time, breaking itself, yet repairing itself, on a perpetual journey to the unknown

On Friday, we talked about Part 3 of Kavalier and Clay. The first thing we did was answer questions the class had about Part 3. There were no questions except for "What leverage does Sammy get over Anapol?" The answer to this question was that Sammy had proof of Anapol directly asking him to "make [him] a superman" for Empire Comics.

The next thing we talked about pertaining to Part 3 was the idea of intercalary chapters. Intercalary chapters are chapters whose subjects digress from the main plot-line. Chapter 13 is an intercalary chapter because it talks about the adventures of Luna Moth rather than Joe and Sammy.

We also talked about how Rosa is an incarnation of Luna Moth. The invention of Luna Moth is a progression for Sammy and Joe that shows the evolution of their work from copy to pure creation. This is because initially Anapol asked them to make a Superman, which was inspired by Joe's anger with Hitler and what he was doing to Joe's homeland and family. The Escapist was powered by anger, while Luna Moth was created from pure imagination. The creation of Luna Moth may have also been driven by the limits that Empire Comics was starting to put on The Escapist. In a prominent example, Jack Ashkenazy, the boss of Joe and Sammy, tells them that they need to tone down the aggression towards Nazis in their comic book because it was causing them business problems. Empire Comics wanted to make a deal with a sock company, but because the CEO of the company was German, he did not want to work with Empire Comics in result of their offensive comic book.



The next topic we addressed was the name of Part 4: The Golden Age. We said that Golden Age had the connotations of money and the high point of careers/relationships, but most importantly that "they don't last". In history, we know that any Golden Age that a country or continent has experienced is temporary, or the nation would be thriving to this day. Some ideas were that Sammy and Joe's "big money" was not going to last, and their comic book company was going to fail later. Another idea was that the two of them were going to break off from Empire Comics and they were going to start doing better than they were before.
