Hi 🙂
I got to watch some Bowie and call it research today 😉 I wasn’t aware of this short film, and hadn’t heard the song, either. I wrote the poem and then thought I’d better go and see why ‘blue jean’ came up! There is also a club in Fort Lauderdale called Blue Jean Blues which I didn’t know either, so there you go.
It is not in a boat, however.
Blue Jean Boat Obese Rear Grind Wood Admiration Injury Aspect
She went to a club
Called Blue Jean
In the carcass
Of a large, moored, boat.
The bouncer was obese,
Grunting as he moved aside
To let her through. There was
An audible creak from the door, too.
This is where people (to the rear)
Cast off the daily grind,
In order to practice other routines
Across the wood and tiled floors.
She couldn’t help but stop,
In smirking admiration:
Shocked some of the dancers
Flailed this way without injury.
Maybe ‘worse things happen at sea’
Was true in this aspect –
Heaven forbid
They all were cast adrift…
I wonder if the woman was chatted up by anyone and said “I’m not alone” to them 😛
I am not sure why she was there by herself? I didn’t really see anything other than the outside of the club, then the floor and position of the bar, when I wrote this.
My character wasn’t chatting to me, she was just observing things. I don’t know how she was dressed, how she got to the club or if she was waiting for anyone…
What do you think is going to happen to the woman?
Or/and what scene would you have painted with these words?
