Watertown, NY, USA . "Public Square" (vintage, date unknown) but the monument is honoring veterans of the American Civil War so the date of the image is late 1800s

the overtures of Von Suppe and Auber and coffee, the music this morning is in an attempt to get out of the foul mood i'm in, no reason really for the mood, just got up on the wrong side of the bridge i guess..these pieces are light, aerie, and just plain fun...two possible results......i actually start feeling better......i end up chucking the cds/cd player out the window........if you look below you will see kind of a poem, free form which came tumbling out of the maelstrom which takes the place in me of a mind......if you look in the archives you may find embedded there other poems, mostly silly limericks, i once said that the fact that my poetry is written very irregularly is that the muses only descend on rare occasions, but when thinking last night its more basic, i'm reminded of a gag in a bugs and daffy cartoon, where daffy falls off a bridge. bugs wonders if daffy will remember that he can fly, nope daffy hits the water, then bugs wonders if daffy will remember that he can swim, nope daffy sinks..........it seems that the most probable explanation for the randomness of the appearance of poetry here is simply i forget that trollie knows how to write poetry.......while the cartoon story may seem like it fell off the truck, there is a connection to the music i'm listening to this AM........much of the music used in the older cartoons was classical, it was in the public domain, and therefore free, von suppe's music was used heavily, particularly by the bugs bunny cartoons......
