IF-Cracked
By spotogspindel | May 25, 2009
For this weeks theme I was inspired by the lyrics of a Blondie-song. The photos are partly old containers, and an old ships figurehead. Also I added a dictionary explanation of the word Phrenology, the science of the special functions of different parts of the brain.
Faces cracked for reason beyond recognitionÂ
His space is at the PalaceÂ
He sleeps for twenty five centsÂ
Now he’s wiping headlights windshields with an old ragÂ
It ain’t nine to fiveÂ
Down and dirty he’s an old trampÂ
He poses like a dead manÂ
The night train passes by Money’s not the answer for princes and dancersÂ
He’s standing under street lightsÂ
He’s thinking of his old lifeÂ
He lost his pretty young wifeÂ
The corner is his big planÂ
His brunch with Jim and jittersÂ
Boston blue laws ain’t for shittersÂ
And newsprint is for cheatersÂ
Cement mattress for believersÂ
Now he’s shooting power curvesÂ
His buddies think he’s got some nerveÂ
Missus Face had other loversÂ
Her arms smothered other numbersÂ
He freezesÂ
Christmas season all Saints protect himÂ
His face is cracked for reason beyond recognitionÂ
            -Blondie
