I wonder how
... ... ... ...
My mind...
is a VHS
A night...
without scenes
My wish...
is being granted
My wings ...
are outstretched
And I ...
I want to know ... I try to know ...
... I want to know ... I wonder how ... (x)
I wonder how ...
I wonder how ...
How can there be a scenario...
... where I shut myself from everyone
How can there be a cyberpunk realm...
... exchanging places with the Cold War (xx)
How can there be androids...
... dreaming of electric sheeps
How can there be robot souls...
... launching the 1980s
How can there be a destined role...
... for me to help them
How can there be an anti-utopia...
... perfecting a paradox (xxx)
How can there be feelings...
... which I share with Max Headroom
How can there be a William Gibson's book...
... foreseeing my memories
(Instrumental)
(x) ... Repeat
(xx)... Repeat

I wrote some of these song lines in 1986.
Memories came so I added the inspiration they gave me.

I always find your writing so intriguing and thought provoking, Marks. I thoroughly enjoy and appreciate the Dali relief image .... I am a big fan of his and visit the Salvador Dali Museum here in St Petersburg, FL very often....
I liked and basked in the retro feel!
I can get behind any poem that mentions Max Headroom... lol.
Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻

Thank you for your comment, Bluevelvete.
These songlyrics are neither provoking nor intriguing... They are only just memories.
...
By the way,...
*Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?* is a Philip K. Dick's 1968 novel,...
... on which the 1982 sci-fi film "Blade Runner" was based.
Then William Gibson's books...
And then Max Headroom...
... etcetera, etcetera, etcetera
...
Salvador Dalí's *The Rainbow* spans between the 1980s and the present times.

In 1986? I can enjoy you sharing some of your thoughts current to that time. It was a neat read, I thought... "how strange to reference a VHS".. as I read more I realized "not strange at all".

I love it Marks... Definitely retro... VHS; oh boy. I was not around (alive) in the 1980s but I love the music and I would have liked to experience all it had to offer; before social media. ;p I love that you explained the electric sheep reference... Max Headroom I know and love. So many great throw back references here. ;p
