Prophetic Desolation
When the world is stripped of uses
tomorrow wake and find
a fate with no excuses
a past you can’t rewind.
Forget those lapping waters
that island in your mind
for ignorance is golden
(but resale value is unkind).
Breathe in dust
Skin, nails, rust
stagger on
remember us.
You did just what
you had to do
you could do no other
you you you.
And nothing
More
And nothing
Less
And silence in the wilderness.
Is this the end?
(this is the start)
this act’s unwritten
live your part.
Violets beget Violets
My girlfriend is such a cruel gardener. She’s ruthless in her selection of what lives and dies. Which makes no sense to me, she’s a pacifist you see. She simply hates violets.
(Sorry for the picture quality – too many reflections in this shop front) 
Real people?
Who is that guy? Some kind of deep-sea monster slaying aquanaut? Does he use his giant watch for battling giant squid? Does he even need to know what time it is?
Talk about unrealistic standards. Maybe if I buy one of these watches I too can be a hyper-real image of a man emerging from the frozen ocean – no, wait, water resistant to 10m. Never mind. Standing knee deep in surf for the rest of my life isn’t really all that appealing.
Time for a Reality Check
Your thought for the day
Throughout our lives our experiences and social interactions shape our modes of being and our opinions. For some of us these opinions become rigid, mentally isolated from the flux of being which originally gave them form. This inflexibility will cause conflict to arise in this shared world of ours – but do not fret. It is not difficult to change somebody’s mind. All you need is some patience, a little time and a mad surgeon with some serious blades and a co-operative or sufficiently restrained brain donor. Never give up on people. And if you’re really ambitious you can follow Ghandi’s advice and “be the change”. Change a mind, change a life (or two).
Eye don’t nose
Looks like eye shoes are more popular than mouth shoes… ?
The eyes have it.
I don’t know what they see in these myself.
Other body parts were sorely missing from this collection. They have no nose. …how do they smell? Heh heh. Like shoes. o_0
That’s pretty bad. Someone put their foot in their mouth.
Sorry that’s so corny. May need to file that away.
Too pedestrian?
The Waiter Waits
Wait, should we wait for the waiter? I thought the waiter waits. Or are we supposed to wait for ourselves – surely we don’t wait for the waiter?
If the waiter waits does anybody wait?
Now the word wait just looks weird.
Wait.
( Look closely now ) For a main road, everyone was surprisingly sedate.
