Poems

bigfoot & David Lynch

23JUL26

are both strong paddlers

both full of woo
out of Seattle
it's a big canoe
they both paddle

it's a strange brew
they both stir
everything they do
it's in a blur

both have Peeks
depends how you spell it
when their minds speak
they both yell it

they're off the bench
& in the game
bigfoot & David Lynch
they're the same

hold their towels
watch their dreams
know the owls
are not what they seem

Enjoy your Thursday. Do not remain aloof from the goof.

Today we return to the theme of David Lynch and the real estate that he seems to share with bigfoot. The woo refers to paranormal in the world of bigfoot. If you have watched any of Lynch’s creations you already know that his story lines are usually drenched in the paranormal and unexplainable. The Peeks is a reference to his TV show Twin Peaks. And in case you’re wondering bigfoot’s peeks are from behind a tree : ). And the “owls are not what they seem” is a famous line from that show. There is quite a bit of information on the internet about just that one phrase.

The spirit of Lynch has sailed with us from the time we launched. His 1986 movie Blue Velvet is mentioned in the blog’s manifesto. For those of you who prefer a more normal movie, check out Straight Story. It is a straightforward story that stars Richard Farnsworh who earned an Academy Award nomination for his work in the film.

Poems

David Lynch & bigfoot

22MAY26

occupy a special space

David Lynch was clever
that much was clear
but was he ever
really even here

he was able to fly
in mystery and grace
he and bigfoot occupy
a special space

like a popsicle
or the start of a rain
they both tickle
the heart and the brain

belief can be tough
a burden to bear
sometimes it is enough
just to be aware

There are many references throughout the blog to Lynch and his work. One of his movies is listed in our manifesto. MUCH RESPECT.

Enjoy your Friday. Do not remain aloof from the goof.

The Red River Gorge Bigfoot Fest will be held in Stanton KY on 30MAY26.

Poems

with a drum roll

28FEB26

bigfoot observes

turn the wrench
the wheels roll
learn some Lynch
heal the soul

drive the car
the woods thru
get a scar
could be good too

run the race
the good soldier
not on the face
could be the shoulder

measure & run
faster than the crowd
treasure your fun
broadcast it's allowed

become whole
enjoy the curves
with a drum roll
bigfoot observes

your brain & soul
you get back
your train rolls
on the right track

learn to use
what you see & hear
let your muse
be the engineer

together soar
what fate brings
listen for
her great wings

write the words
that she sings
with the birds
& bee stings

unwind leisure
let it reign
find the pleasure
in the pain

together jumping
the fake fence
together pumping
to make sense

cleverly learning
new information
never returning
to the station

banging hard the drum
that brewing fate plays
the report card comes
spewing straight A's

The David Lynch theme continues. I am thinking about putting a clickable link to the Blue Velvet words in the Manifesto poem to all of the blog posts that mention David Lynch. I will let you know if I actually do that. Enjoy your Saturday.
