Chapter 5 - Sidestory 2: DOOM is kind of blue

...Blue in Green. Bright blue jacket in Green Beard, both are Eldest. Tom and Treebeard, how much of each is in the other? Both fan favorites, what happens when every fan is gone? For Fangorn, that is a kind of death. AKA Treebeard, it's akin to him losing his beard. Lost, what follows is silence like the others before him. Then the forest burns. Not the final end but a phoenix rebirth. Not Treebeard, he long gone, but something green still lives. A shepherd of the forest the green is no more but a knight of the Forest that once was but is no more. Knight''s the green, Green Knight the name which rides to play its part in Arthur's game. Over, Gawain leaves with a silk green girdle as well as the Green Knight's x while it goes its Y way. Straight then the two paths, that's choice. Which path does the Green Knight choose? One leads to the Green Knight becoming even greener, verdigris green of Greece, Gris, Green Knight in a bargaining mood. Doom the other path, deconstruction. Green Knight gives up the Green to be a Templar, Knight Templar till its night comes. Then Midnight rides in. Even darker, it's black like death. Black is Death so Knight-no-longer-Templar gives up the Knight to be even darker than Death itself. Thats a Plague doctor till life becomes white again. Life is white again and in recognition for his efforts in that dark time, doctor gets a plaque. Plucks up the courage to doctor his admiration for Puck and hope Puck will be sick. Seeks him out Puck does and a deal with the demon is signed…sigh, back to Blue in green (Grin). Onto All Blues. All Blues the Bright Blue/Who wears the Jacket Blue, that merry fellow?/Tom Bombadil is who/Master of none but The Master still/Fadoodle singer, farctate as a feak, F is for Fantastic/That is Tom, Eldest in the Old Forest/Fantastik beyond the Old, Tom the Fantastik is he/He knows the New World beyond the Old Forest does Tom/A New World where Music is still lord/And Tom? Bombadil still, rescuer of that steel fellow like hobbits of old/DOOM sings his name, not the Mount but Mysterious Friend/MF DOOM is the fellow to Tom, Tom who joins his songs for two times/Two like one, two/Anti matter and Rap Snitch Knishes have Tom too/Fantastic two, Tom is Fantastik too/Mr Fantastik to you too. Two like three four five, Flamenco is Sketches. Rough like Cannonball and 'Trane. Unfinished like sam and Frodo. Wise and Underhill, heel of a giant, I look up to Mr Underhill whose name is as dark as Doom, call me Viktor Vaughn. Victor in my name, I win by never wearing the One Ring. Rewarded twice, Samwise in the Lord of the Rings and Viktor Vaughn outside of it. Back in the machine, I drive it into Time's tongue. Chewed then spat out, I'm the in the Louvre past visiting hours but I still visit her. She's not alone, Saint John the Baptist got his finger in—
Inside, my mind screams "that's me but not me." Mimi, put my Mimi hat on and suddenly the scene got meme potential. Meta too. Mona Lisa is cheating on me with someone else who is also me. Yeah, yeah, the self reference is Fancy Clown. Came out second best like 'Cannonball' s saxophone solo. As for first, that's Coltrane like: "Post November bop in December cool, abstract expressionism connects the two. Connected into Mingus Ah Um shortly after Kind of Blue, The Angry Man of Jazz hounded me till I came out into time Out. Bird Calls and my bad cawed back, almost. Barely kept it silent till Mount Doom called timeout on our mission. Out of the Angry into the Cool, is it cool now? Cold for I could not put The Mission to bed when it counted most. Lucky for me and the plot, they was armor. Good bad Ornette Gollum who was sleepy and willing to sleep. Slipped into Bitches Brew with The Bebop and all was saved. his reward was his "The Shape of Jazz To Come" arriving post-haste. Middle Earth became free, free like jazz but I was on a different tune. Spiritual, I had accepted the offer to journey to the Undying Lands. Did and found immortality there, A Love Supreme. Then the Undying Lands lost their undying luster for me. Immortality becomes boring so flirting with Death in an Iron Mask becomes the norm. In love with Dr Doom…"
