There is a beach called Maslin
where nude people go
It’s not far from us
we used to go there, you know
when we were hippies
but is there a place for unclad thoughts
thoughts free of political correctness,
herd mentality
to go?
thoughts still showing their wobbly bits,
their stretch marks,
scowl lines?
No.
No Place
No free forum of ideas
of any kind.
No Maslin of Minds

Sounds like a fun place! 😉🖤

it was and probably still is; we pass by regularly but our bodies no longer want to flaunt themselves in public 🙂

good answer 🙂 I guess that’s what they are: outlets for our ideas, feelings, a free forum of ideas

I think that most folks want to, and tend to, have like-minded friends. For some of us, that means we gravitate to people who are quirky a bit and who have open minds. Enjoy the day, John. See ya.

I reckon you’re right, Neil; otherwise there is too much tension, conflict; good to hear from you, Neil; you have a good one too 🙂

it is thanks to you and your gentle prodding that I got this post up: I went away, thought about what you said, had a senior’s nap, got up and it all came together 🙂 remarkable how creativity works 🙂
