Chewie

Tristan Robert Lange

as a dancing swan
i had a dream
i was louis vuitton
 
not no regular pawn
 
but vuitton—that bag
ain’t wearing no hag—
 
oops, that will get
someone to rag—
 
stalemate.
 
and back to vuitton,
as in louis,
except i wanted everything
 
bluey
 
pool clean,
dive in,
come out
the color
of paul giamatti
 
bluey.
 
frankly,
then muniz
said to manson,
 
marilyn that is,
not charlie,
 
“dreamy louis...”
 
i blinked,
 
realized indeed
i was now vuitton
bluey,
 
resurrected—
 
i confess,
 
in the image of
one nicknamed,
“Chewie”.

    Have I got the films mixed up? Chewbacca, that Obi guy with saber; etc?! lol. We have Oi Be and I Yam. What rubbish we talk! lol.

    • Tristan Robert Lange

      Orchi, I am relieved to report that you have not mixed up the films…you have merely wandered into the Wait. What?!? collection where such distinctions are considered optional. 🤣 One minute it’s Chewbacca, the next it’s Obi guy with saber, then somehow we’re all Louis Vuitton handbags dipped in Blue Paul Giamatti. Beautiful madness, my friend! 🦢💙🙏✨

        Is Chewie in the group with Popeye & Co? And how's The Baters? WCAT here. lol.

        Names and objects all connected in this poem Tristan. From a bag and a name to colors and crimes. A fun read with many inlays.

        • Tristan Robert Lange

          Soren, you caught the spirit of it, my friend! 🤣 This one definitely operates by association rather than logic. Once the dream starts rolling, names, objects, colors, and oddball references all seem to grab hands and head off in the same direction. Glad you had fun with it! 🦢💙🙏✨

          • sorenbarrett

            My pleasure Tristan

            LOL I frown at the bags that turn credit cards to rags. What A weird and wonderful dream I could definitely see you as a swan though 🌹

            • Tristan Robert Lange

              Teddy, 🤣 “credit cards to rags” is a fantastic way of putting it! Louis Vuitton and my bank account have never exactly been close friends. Glad you enjoyed the weirdness, my friend. And a swan? I’ll take that over a goose any day! 🦢💙🙏✨

              If you can afford a Louis bag, you've got too much money.
              Mind you, all those charactors could fit into a Louis bag.
              Why do womens handbags weigh a ton, what's in them.
